BAN ON BRANCH
 NORMAL STRICT
Negro Ministers Do Not Want Public School Chil-
 dren to Play at College.

The. negro ministers of Pine Bluff will urge the members of their con- gregations against permitting negro children to participate in the field day exercises scheduled to take place at the Branch Normal campus Satur- day. This was decided upon at a meeting of the Negro Ministers all l!xhce yesterday afternoon, when many communications from over the state were read. All these pledge cooperation in the fight that is being made by the leaders of the' negro race in Pine Bluff for what they define as purity in the Branch Normal college faculty" The alli- ance will meet again on Wednesday, May 12, to further discuss the cam- paign.
 Resolutions, defining the minister's attitude as to the field day exercises, read as follows:
 .sWhereas, it has been publicly an . nounced that the annual field day ex- ercises for the negro schools of Pine Bluff will be held on the Branch Normal college campus on Friday May z, 1915, and we feel that 1t IS as contrary to our contention for the children of the city schools to go there for school purposes as for the state students to attend.
 .'.Therefore, be. it resolved, that we will advise the parents of the chll- dren of the. city schools not to- at tend the field day exercises nor ar low their children to attend unless they are held elsewhere than on the Branch Normal college campus
 And, be it further resolved, that we advise all legal voters of the race to go to the polling places on Saturday, May 15. and cast their bal lots for,ssueh. men, only. to fill the office of school directors who will encourage the moral development of our neonle." ;. aa. N

 CLAIM SETTLED fszs5g
Notifies Germany That ;. Prize Court Suggestion Is
 Not Approved.

Washington, May 5-The United States, in it's reply to the German government made public today, mas suggested to Germany that, as she has admitted her liability for al damage for the destruction of the William F.. Frye by the IPrintz Eitef 4Ereidrich, future negotiations as 10 the amount to be paid might he con ducted between the state departmenc and the German embassy in Washing ton. -
 MT. Gerard has been instructed to tell Germany that this government holds that it would involve unnecer- sary delay" to adopt the German view "that the legality of the capture ana destruction, the standing of tho claina.ts and the amount Of ln- tlemnity should be submitted to al prize court" :oa,
 The United States has refrained from discussing with Germany lhe arguments made by Herr von jagoW, inc German minister for foreign all fairs. in which he justified the act or captain Thierichens of the Prlhz Eitel. e,o+ .,
 Tho reply of the United States sets forth that as the United States does not regard the declaration of London as in force, it has not been necessary to answer the arguments Of the Ger man diplomat, which were based on that document. Ambassador Gerard is substantially instructed, therefore to hold Germany to her admission OF liability. to object to transfferrlng the case into the prize court on the ground that it is still essentially a diplomatic one and to endeavor to have the final settlement here in Washington.

The peasants were asked to say whether they thought the prohibition ought to be discontinued after the war, or that things should remain always as they are at present. Y
