 German cruiser sank the Fry because she carried wheat which Germany had proclaimed contraband Ger many admitted that the American treaty of 1928 she obliged pay for the ship She choose however to let German prize court settle the matter while our government insisted that the damages should be adjusted directly by diplomatic means Germany subsequently the surprising claim that she had not broken the treaty-that the treaty gave her. by imp cation the rghrto sink American ships carrying con traband, provided she paid for the ship
 That issue still undecided Our Government cannot grant Gemanys interpretation of the treaty It impossible to American understanding that the agree ment could be twisted to what German diplomats say it If they were right, Germany could with perfect propney sink every American crossing the Atanticbecause they all carry of band-and placidy pay the bills, after another prevent the Allies from getting the goods.
 We may expect that Germany win offer now to pay for the Leelanaw in pursuance of the policy To Germany, it seems to be simple business proposition

 Muriel standing behind her chair tenderly stroked back the wealth of chestnut hair from her white brow Her complexion was perfect, even though her face was pale and iaded and her eyes heavy, consequent upon her long, weary journey from the now frozen North.

DUTCH OFFER OF MERCY.
 REJECTED BY POWERS
Holland Offers to Equip and Main tain Neutral Hospital ship;
 Is Rejected.

THE HAGUE, July 3O-Last year, during the beginning Of the war, when the arrival of the few surviving sail ors from the three torpedoed British cruisers, the Hogue, Abouhr and Greasy showed what a terrible thing modern naval warfare was to be, number of Dutch philanthropists dis cussed the desirability of equippng neutral Dutch hospital ship which should patrol the North Sec. The idea was to have such a ship continuously present on the high seas, hastening at the first sound of battle to save chose otherwise condemned to drown after five or six hours of desperate clinging 10 a piece of wreckage. Naval ofic- CTS promised their assistance The large steamship companies were will ing to subscribe money and the presi- dent of the Dutch Trading Company Uhe leader in that field of enterprise) took personal direction of the affair. A vice admiral volunteered his ser vices as commander of the ship and the necessary sum of money, Sl2OOO0 was brought together
 At that point the commission which intended to charter the Austrian liner "Thalia" interned in Amsterdam ad- dressed itself to the governments of the different warning nations and ask ed their permission to equipp and maintain such a ship under the neutral Dutch hag and under a Dutch com mander. Article three of the Conven- ton declares however that all hos pital ships even if they are owned and equipped by neutrals must fly the flag of one of the belligerents" The Dutch commission requested that under the special circumstances of this war
 nations would agree to suspend this article for the Dutch floating ambul- ance. The Minister of Foreign Affairs iwho got interested in the plan sup ported this request personally.
 The governments of the nations 10 which the offer was made have not been willing to agree to the suspen- sion of article 8 in the case of the Thala and have refused to have any thing to do with the proposal The commission therefore has returned the money to the donors and the hos pital ship lies at its dock in Amster- dam
