sailing ship William P. Frye this gov
eminent is considering the advisable
fly of protesting to Great Britain
against the blockade instituted against
the raider, the Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
by a squadron OF five British cruisers.
1t is the general belief in Washing
ton that the Prinz Eitel Friedrich
will intern. Irrespective of its pur-
pose. however, the fact remains that
this government will not tolerate bel
ligerent vessels maintaining what is
in effect a blockade against an enemy
warship.
Germany probably will repudiate the
action of the captain OF the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich in sinking the Ameri-
can ship William p. Frye and make
reparation for the loss Of the vessel
and cargo, in the opinion of German
off cials here.
Inasmuch as the United States and
Germany are in accord on tse question

Count Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, after visit to the state de.

the case would be settled without
much difficulty & "..as ...
He told Counselor Robert Lansing
what the captain of the Prnz Eitel
had told Captain Boyd. the naval
attache Of the German embassy. as to
the sinking of the American ship. but
the ambassador reserved his own
opinion on the action of the command
er, saying he had no instructions from
his government.
Captain Thierichens OF the Prinz
Eitel informed Captain Boyd that
his only guide while at sea and for
many months out OF communication
with his government was the declara-
ton of London.
This would permit the destruction
of neutral prize II carrying cargo

> Bombarded by Germans.

London, March 15.-Ten thousand
British troops have been lost in the
furious fighting OF three days at
Neuve Chapelle and in the vicinity OF
La Bassee, where the English forces
drove the Germans back in a series OF
attacks last week. This is the asser.
ton OF the Berlin war office In the
official statement received by wire

The Germans assert 1,720 British
soldiers were captured during the en-.
gagement. Admission is made, how.
ever, that the German losses also
were heavy. British attacks on the
German line both at Neuve Chapelle
and La Bassee are asserted to have
been repulsed Saturday.
Dispatches from Havre say 1000
German prisoners captured by the
British arrived there On their way to

Bumed their furious bombardment of

Argonne, we have also kept the enc

The fury OF the British lunge
against the German line seems to have
somewhat abated, and the scene of
the heaviest infantry fighting again
has been transferred to the center of
the front, where the French continue
on the offensive in the Champagne
region and in the district to the north
Of Reims.
Germans Lose Trenches.
Along the Aisne canal to the north
OF Reims, in the Luxembourg woods,
the Germans advanced in considerable
force against the foremost line Of
French trenches, and according to the
official afternoon statement from
Paris were repulsed. The counter-at-
tacks delivered by the Germans in
Champagne were not only repulsed,
but the Germans we're driven back
and thrown from their own trenches
by the French.
The German report Of the battle in
the Champagne district says the
French attacked east of Souain and
north Of Mesnil with small forces, but
the German artillery fire compelled
the abandonment of the plan.
