Washington, March 1.-THE Ger
man cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich
arrived at Newport News on Wednes-
day, bringing the captain and crew
of the American grain vessel William
P Frye, which the German warship
sunk at sea on January q.
The owners of the vessel have
claimed that she carried no contra
band of any kind. Official and diplo-
matte headquarters were much per-
turbed over the matter, but nobody
was willing to make any comment un-
til the facts are fully established.
The customs officials at Seattle
wire that the manifest of the William
P Frye, which was loaded there, show
that she carried 1852 bushels of
wheat
The Frye sailed from Seattle on No

that she was carrying contraband Of

crew, then sunk the freighter.
The Frye was valued at $150,00O

The Prinz Eitel Friedrich started
out on her career as warship from
Using Tao. She formerly was regu-

Upper Wisconsin Crops Lead.


Men well versed in conditions in
Wisconsin say there is a noticeable
decrease in the number of persons
leaving the state for other localities
and a marked increase in the number
coming to Wisconsin.
1t is estimated that many of the up
per counties have each received more
than 1000 new farmers during the
last five years. These people have
been attracted to Wisconsin through
use of official crop figures. Illustra-
tive of the literature used in inducing
people to come to Wisconsin is the
following from official data covering
the common farm crops of corn, oats,
wheat, barley, rye, potatoes and hay
(hay being expressed in hundred
weight instead of tons to equalize
values in comparison with bushels of
other products). The aggregate pro-
duction of an acre of each crop in up
per Wisconsin and states named is as
follows.
