late WAR news summary

The British army, to which has been
assigned the task Of leading the pres
ent attack on the western battle front,
is still attempting to push forward,
and thus far German efforts to drive it
back apparently have failed. To-day's
official report from Berlin says that
an effort to recapture Neuve Chappolls
made progress for a time but was
abandoned later when the Germans en-
countered superior forces Of British.
The correspondent of Paris news

FRENCH CAPTIVES
TOBE CARED FOR
Two Cruisers Supposed to Be British
Used Searchights of Coast At
Virginia Beach Last Night, Say
Residents
By Associated Press.

Washington, March 13.-The full
story of how the American sailing
ship William P. Frye was sunk in the
South Atlantic with her cargo of wheat
by the German commerce raider Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, was officially laid be-
fore the American government to-day
by the Frye's commander Captain
Kiehne.
When Captain Kiehne's formal
statement is made before State De-
partment officials, the United States
will decide upon its course, which prob
ably will be demand for an express
sion of regret from Germany and pay
ment for the loss of the ship and cargo.
German Ambassador Defends Action
Washington, March 13.-Count
Bernstorff, German ambassador in dis
cussing with State Department Of
ficials to-day the sinking Of the Ameri-
can ship William P. Frye defended the
action of Captain Thierichsen Of the
German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich, contending that the captain
acted under the declaration of London,
which was that official g only guide as
to the disposition of prizes.
Count Bernstein did not present any
note to the State Department, he said
he received no instructions from his
government. He said he called to dis
cuss the, question informally and to
learn what was the view of the United
States.
Followed Declaration Of London
In defending the action of Com
mander Thierschsen, the ambassador
contended that when the officer left
Using Tau at the outbreak of the war
last August, he had nothing to follow
but the Declaration of London in de-
Gliding what to do with vessels he
might seize. For that reason the am
bassador argued, he had right to
sink the Frye, as its cargo of wheat
was consigned "to order and destin-
ed to fortified port of the enemy. So
long as there was no port into which
he could take his prize he had, q right,
the ambassador contended, to destroy
not only the cargo but the vessel it
self.
Furthermore, the ambassador argued
that the commander of the .Prinz Eitel,
when he sank the Frye, did not know
that German prize court on August
3 had held that the mere fact that a
merchant ship was bound for an enemy
port was not sufficient proof that her
cargo was destined for the enemy.
The case of the Frye, however, the
ambassador said, would have to be set

 Mr. Parker was a pioneer Of the district and his faith in its possibili- ties never wavered when company after company abandoned the dis trict as worthless As a reward Of this persevering faith, Mr. Parker eventually sold his holdings for an immense sum of money
 In recent years Mr. Parker has made his home in Washington. D. e. in El Paso, Texas and in San Diego. California, and it is from the latter city that the news of his gift comes

Revolutionary as have been the achievements Of the porphyry copper producers iD the handling and mill treatment of enormous tonnages of low 9, ade copper ore. the work Of eN- perimentation has not been allowed to lag, says the Boston News Bureau.

COPPER NEEDED BY GERMANY
 FUR WAR
Startling Admission that All Gunners are Warned to Con serve Shells and Fire Be cause of Lack of Shells.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3-A special ca ble to The Herald from London says:
 lt any proof were needed Of the straits in which the German army finds itself in regard Co guns and ann muniuou it is Furnished by a copy Of the confidential instructions issued bv the German war office. which has fallen into the hands Of the French secret service
 Starring out with the damaging ad- mission that even if working night and day at full pressure, German iu- dustry cannot continue to keep up an ineXhaustible supply of ammunition, this document proceeds to state that it is absolutely necessary to econo- mize ammunition, consequently there is to be no more iudiscriminate shell fire and night bombardments are also Co stop, unless it is known for a fact that they have got a proper range and are doing real damage The issue of these instructions fully explains the great change which has come over German artillery within the last week or SO.
 The change is regretted from the al- lies. point of view, for nothing filled them SO much with wonderment and satisfaction as the prodigious manner in which the German gunners wasted ammunition.
 A trustworthy Swiss, just over from Berlin says that shop fronts, stair cases. gas brackets, electric light tit- tiugs and. in short everything that may contain any copper are being pulled to pieces all over the country in order to provide the Krupps with the precious metal Notwithstanding, copper is daily becoming scarcer, and the authorities are at their wits end to know how to deal further with the problem.
 While England has been freely criticised m America for keeping such watchful eye on copper exports and while Germans would have it be- lieyed that the British navy's grip on the ocean scarcely worries them at an. there is sufficient evidence that | the copper famine in Germany is proving a very big thorn in the side , of the German government
