the Government OF the United States
has considered that the only question
under discussion was the method
which should he adopted for ascer-
taining the amount OF the indemnity
20 be paid under an admitted la
bility. and 1t notes with surprise that
in addition to this question the I'm
perial German Government To- de-
sires to raise some questions as to the
meaning and effect Of the treaty
stipulations Under which 1t has ad-
mitted Its liability.
IL the Government OF the United
States correctly understands the po-
sitiDn of the Imperial German Gov
eminent, as now presented, II iS that
the provisions of Article l3 OF the
treaty of 1929 between the United
States and Prussia. which is con-
tinued in force ny the treaty Of 1928.
Justified the commander of the prinz
Eitel Friedrich in sinking the william
=. Frye. although making the Inn
perial German Government liable for
the damages suffered in consequence,
and that inasmuch as the treaty pro-
vides no specific method for ascer-
tanning the amount of indemnity to be
paid that question must be submitted
to the German prize court for de-
termination.
U. =. Finds No Justification.
The Government OF the United
States on the other hand does not find
In the treaty st%ipulations mentioned
any justification for the sinking OF
the Frye. and does not consider that
the German prize court has any juris-
diction over the question of the
o of Indemnity to be paid by the
Imperial German Government on ac-
of it's admitted liability for the
destruction of an American vessel on
the high seas.
You state in your note OF the 9TH
instant that Article 10 of the above
mentioned treaty OF 1899 expressly
reserves to the party at war the right
to stop h carrying of c~ontraband m
TO detain the c~Dntraband Ii follows
then hat IL It cannot be accomplished
In any other way the stopping of the
supply may in the extreme case
be effected by the destruction of the
c~ontraband and of the ship carrying
It."
The Government of the United
States cannot-concur In this conclusion.
On the contrary. II holds that these
treaty provisions do not authorize
tHt ueslTuCllOH OF u neutral NeSSel III
any circumstances BY its express
terms the treaty prohibits even the
detention Of a neutral vessel carrying
c~ontraband II the master OF the vessel
n willing to surrender the contraband.
Article Is provides:
In the case supposed Of a vessel
stopped for articles Of contra baud, II
the master OF the vessel stopped Uiii
deliver out the goods supposed TO be
Of c~ontrubund nature he shah be dd-
mttted TO do Il and the Vessel shan
not IN that case be carried into any
port. nor further detained, but shan be
dllot0ed TO proceed on her U0yd1c.
In this case the admitted facts show
that. pursuant to orders from the COM
mander of the German cruiser, the
master of the Frye undertook to throw
overheard the cargo OF that vessel.
but that before the work OF delivering
out the cargo was finished the vessel
with the cargo was sunk by order Of
the German commander.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-06-29

"rhe Pope was informed that Italy
had taken some parish priests Of the
towns occupied as hostages, but the
Bishop OF Cremona informed him that
they were being treated with every ~
gard. Indeed, the pontlff furnished
them with funds for masses. The Pope
knows all this perfectly. How. then,
could he put them in a category with
the Belgian and French hostages @.
with the Jews of Russia?
With regard to Gen. Won Kissing,
the German Governor of Belgium, neither
the Holy Father nor the Secretary Of
state ever received a letter or a COM
munication from him directly or in
directly. Thus the Pope could not refer
to such a letter. n he did not The
letter was born Of the fervid Imagination
OF NJ. Latapie.
But much graver is the confusion OF
VI. Latapie when he speaks OF the rela-
tions between the Holy See and Italy.
The following is the real opinion OF the
portifY
1T is true that he wished Italy to
remain outside the conflict upon receiv-
ing concessions from Austria. because he
desired that Italy sAbuld not suffer the
horrors OF war, and he was preoccupied
with the delicate position OF the Church
II Italy entered the Conflict. War once
declared h Church became entirely
neutral. II has not in n way tried
to prevent Catholics from doing their
duty according to their consciences and
II has done everything for the spiritual
welfare of the soldiers.
Dcplorcd sinking Of Lusita mia.
The Pontlff recognizes that the
italian Government has done every
thing possible 10 alternate any difficult
ties that might arise between IL and
the Holy See. The Natican's CORES
pondence is not being touched. But
that does not mean thai the situation
of the Holy See is normal. II does not
intend To create embarrassment for the
Government.
The Holy Father much deplored the
sinking Of the Lusitania, but he could
not pronounce directly on II because
there was before him a question Of
fact regarding which each side makes
different assertions"
Cardinal Gasparrl's long explanation
or what the Pope said in the interview
will hardly affect public opinion. although
a denial that any letter from Won Kissing
was received at the Vatican will be ac-
ceptahle. No explanation is suggested
regarding the reasons impelling a cleri-
cal organ such as La Liberte to print
such an interview. II has been said
mat the object was to establish the
necessity for France to have a repre-
sentative at the Vatican.
The Echo dc PARTS sent It's CORE.
spondent at Rome TO the Pope and an
interview was granted at about the same
time that La Liberties representative
was granted an audience. The Echo dc
Paris has not printed a word of the con.
versation that passed between its cor
respondent and the Pope, however. and
has made no reference to the interyiew
published in La Librrte.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1915-06-29

For these reasons. even IL 1t be
assumed, as your Excellency has done.
that the cargo was ~contraband. your
contention that the destruction OF the
vessel was justified BY the provisions
OF Article l3 does not seem to be
well founded. The Government of the
United States has not thought II neces-
sary In the discussion of this case to
go into the question of h contra-
band or non-contraband character OF
the cargo. The Imperial German
Government has admitted hat this
question makes no difference so far
as its liability for damages In con-
cerned. and the result Is the same so
far as the justification for the sink
ing OF the vessel IS concerned. As
shown above. II We assume thai the
cargo was c1ntraband. the master Of
the Frye should have been allowed to
deliver II out and the vessel should
have been allowed to proceed on her,
voyage.
On the other hand, IL we assume
ehat the cargo was non-contraband.
the destruction either of the cargo
or the vessel could not be justified in
the circumstances OF this case under
n accepted rule of international law.
Attention is also called to the pro-
visions OF Article IL OF the treaty of
1885 between the United States and
Prussia. which, like Article 10 of the
treaty OF 1893. was continued in force
by Article IL of the treaty of 1928.
So far as the provisions of Article 10
OF the treaty OF 1855 apply to the
questions under consideration they
are as follows:
" one Of the contracting parties
should be engaged in ,cdr ,cith any
other Poper, the free intercourse and
nm merce Of the subjects or citisen.
OF the party remaining neuter ,cith
the belligerent PoUcrs shall not be
interrupted. On the contrary, in that
case, as IN fuH peace, the vessels Of
the neutral party may navigate freely
to and from the ports and on the
coasts OF the beli1crent parties, free
ressels making free goods. insomuch
that all things shall be adjud1ed free

VAN HORN CASE MAY

Washington, Feb. 1.-The British

filed a formal request at the state
department today for the extradition

charged with an attempt to blow up
the Canadian end of the railway
brirdrge between Vanceboro, Me-, and
st. Croix, n. b.
Secretary of State Bryan referred
the application for extradition to
Cone Johnson, solicitor of the state
department, and the department saws
u will make no reply to Great Britain
until it shall have received the report
from the United States commission
cr, who will be designated by the de-
rartment of justice to make the usual
preliminary examination. The de-
mand for extradition by the British
ambassador is based on the criminal
code of New Brunswick and on the
supplemental extradition treaty of
1900 between the United States and
Great Britain.
The New Brunswick criminal code
declares everyone is guilty of an in
dlctable offense and liable to life
Imprisonment who unlawfully, with
intent to injure or endanger the safe
" OF any person travelling or being
ON any railway, Injuries or DESTROYS
any train, building or fence of said
railway, or any portion thereof"
The clause of the treaty of 1900
which makes Van Horns alleged Of
fense extraditable is in the language
"wilful and unlawful destruction OF
obstruction of railroads which endan.
gers human life"
The state department officials, how.
ever point out that a previous Anglo.
American treaty of 1899 SAYS "a fu.
Pitive shall not be surrendered if tn,
offense in respect to which his sur.
render is demanded be one of a po
litical character or if he proves thai

pected declaration to the United State.

litlcal, the state department officials
