Receive German Reply.

American note regarding sinking Of
the American ship William P. Frye by
the Eitel Frederick has reached the
state department. Acting Secretary

be made public until the reply had
been studied.
Suggest Supply Ban.
The German answer insists that
the stopping of supplies being sent
to enemy belligerents may be effected
by the destruction of the contraband
or the destruction of the ship carrying
contraband without violation of treaty
obligations. It contends that a prize
court is necessary to fix the amount
of compensation, that there exists no
occasion for direct diplomatic negotia-
tions in the case unless the prize court
should fail to award compensation,
and that the obligation of belligerents
to pay compensation remains, regard
less of the action of the prize court.
The German note contends that, should
the prize court fail to award COM
pensation, Germany would undertake
to arrange equitable indemnity. AS a
precaution in the preliminary pro-
/ cedure Germany suggests that Amer
| ican claimants should enter their
claims on record.
