AMBASSADOR TO UNITED STATES
UNOFEiClAllY SAYS THE
SINKING OF AMERICAN SHIP
FRYE WAS MISTAKE, AND
WILL BE PAID FOR.
OFFICIAL note EXPECTED
CAPTAIN OF CRUISER 10 DLAM-
ED FOR DESTRUCTION OF YES.
sell; SAID TO HAVE BEEN IG-
kORANT OF IMPERIAL ORDERS
FOR WAR ZONE ON WATER.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. March II
Full reparation will be made by the
German government for the loss
caused by the sinking of the Ameri
can ship Frye This is the unoffi-
cial statement made today by the
German ambassador to the United
States
In discussing the matter. the am
bassador stated that the German
government is aware that the sink
ing OF the ship was 4 mistake. The
affair is said TO be the fault of the
captain of the German auxiliary
cruiser Prinz Eitel Frederick, which
attacked the Frye
According to the explanation
made by the German ambassador
the captain of the cruiser had re-
ceived wrong impression OF the
imperial order which announced that
r war zone would be established
upon the water surrounding tie
British Isles. He was also ignor-
ant, it was explained, OF there hav-
the time he encountered the Ameri
can ship, carrying a load of grain
to Holland
Although the German ambassador
did not say SO directly, he intimated
that the captain OF the PIinz Euei
Frederick would personally be held
accountable for the error. If the
cruiser is interned at Newport News
where she put in for repairs. the
captain will also be held there until
the war ends. and OF course, will
not return to Germany for court
martial
The government has sent to the
owners OF the Frye for full informa-
ton in regard to the value of her
cargo and the value Of the vessel
When this is received it Is expect
ed that more correspondence will
be carried on between this country
and Germany with regard to the
damage done by the sinking of the
ship.
In announcing in an unofficial
way that the German government
would pay for the sinking OF the
Frye, the ambassador is believed
to have been speaking authoritative
ly and that a formal note to that
effect will be received probably
tomorrow or next day by the secre
tary OF state from the German gov
ernment
Since the cruiser Prinz Eite'
Frederick arrived off the American
coast few days ago and applied
for the right to get repairs, there
has been much public criticism Of
the German government by Ameri-
can newspapers.

ITALY IS ON
VERGE OF WAR.

ROME March l4-It was admit
ted today by the Italian government
that Italy is now fully prepared to
enter the great war, but is still un-
decided with which side to affiliate.
AS soon as it can be determined
which side is to be aided in the
conflict, war will be declared.
Official information has been Civ
en- out to the effect that the Ger
man government has offered Italy a
large portion Of Austrian territory
if the latter country will take up
the fight with the Teutons. On
the other hand, it is announced
that the Italian government believes
it can get share of the territory
of Turkey, in case the allies are
aided and the Dardanelles are fin
ally taken.
1t is believed that the matter of
taking up arms will be postponed
until the allies have determined if
they will be enabled to take the
Dardanelles, and if this is success
full, then the Italian government
will join the allies. Otherwise, the
country will take up arms in sup
port Of Germany and Austria.
The question of whether the Italian
government should enter the war or
remain neutral has divided the peo-
pie of this country, and it is fear
ed that in case war is declared,
there will be a revolution, regard
less of TIE side of the conflict chosen
by the government.
1t is explained by Italian officials,
however, that it will be almost i'm
possible for the country to remain
neutral until the close OF the war,
and that it would be better to take
up arms with one or the other side
now and have chance of getting
some of the territory that will be
awarded to Italy, if the latter joins
with tie successful contestant.

Senator McGann is a miner by oc-

strongly.
Both of the senators from the Sec

exception of a few necessary alter

Traffic Stopped When AnahuIu

According to Supervisor Larsen We

sumed today. This traffic was stopped
last Thursday when the AnahuIu bridge
between Waialua and Waialee collapsed
under the weight Of twenty two ton
plOw tractor owned by the Waiaua
plantation. Supervisor Larsen reported
that Oscar Cox, road oversecr for that
district, had so made repairs yesterday
afternoon that vehicles could cross the
bridge last night or this morning with
safety. :. ..--4
The heavy tractor which caused the
trouble now lies ON it's side in the
water at the bottOm of the river span

through the too light structure the trae-
tor .heeled over on one side as the

the tractor had been towing heeled
over on the other side and helped to
balance the heavier mechn nism.

connected with the main building will
provide an auditorium with a seating
capacity of 600, and this we believe
will be the center of much active
Christian work in the future.
"To provide for this building the
property in Merchant street has been
sold; members and friends of the
board have come forward with large
and small gifts; the Cousins have
pledged themselves to an effort to Sc

indeed that at the present meeting Of
the Hawaiian Evangelical Association
it has been voted to use a memorial
fund which has been raised by the Ha-
waiian churches, in the furnishing of
the room where the board will hold it's
meetings, proper tablet to be placed
in the room in this connection.
The building committee has given
careful consideration to the plans
which have been made by the archi.
tect, Mr.. Kerr, and have stated the ap-
proximate cost of the building and fix
lures, with necessary furniture and
equipment, at 100000. While our
friends are about ii, we hope they will
add the small amount needed to bring
the sum up to 100000, as any excess
over what is needed now can be made

many people in years TO come the work
