State Department Makes Public Text of Note on the Sinking of the Frye By the Prinz EiteI Fried rich
NO JUSTIFICATION
 OF ANY TREATIES
Does Not Consider a Gel man Prize Court Would Have Jurisdiction as to Amount of Indemnity to Be Paid for Overt Act
 ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-By agreement with the GerInan foreign office, the state department made public tonight the text of the note sent on June 24 by the United States asking Germany O ree onsider it's re- fusal to settle by direct diplomatic negotiations instead of by prize court proceedings, the claim presented in behalf Of the captain and owners of the American ship Frye, sunk with cargo of wheat by the Prinz EiteI Friederich
 Ambassador Gerard cabled that he delivered the note or Saturday. The American government declared that Inasmuch IS Germany admitted lia- Utility for the sinain2 of the frye under the treaty of IS2s. prize court proceedings are unnecessary and not binding upon the United States Aside from the question of how the indemnity is to be paid it now brings out clearly the refusal of the United States to accept the contention that Germany has the right to stop carry ing conraband by American ships. by the destruction of the contra band and the ship carrying it."
 While no mention is made of sub marine warfare in either the last German note or the present reply oc- casion Is taken to deny this right because of the belief that it's admis- sion now might in the future be used as a Justification of subTGarine at tacks on American ships.
 T am instructed ov mv soTern- ment to say il has carefully consider ed the reasons given by the German government urging that the Frye claim be passed upon by German prize court instead of being settled by direct diplomatic discussion be tween the two governments proposed by the United States and that it re erets 1t is unable to concur in the conclusions of the impo rial govern ment. The United States has con sidered that the only question was the method of ascertaining the amount of the admitted liability and notes with surprise that the imperial German government now seeks to raise questions of the meaning and effect of the treaty stipulations uu der which it admitted its liability
 The government of the United States does not find in the treaty stipulations G7e9 and 1S2sl any jus tification for the sinking of the Frye and does not consider a German prize court has any Jurisdiction as both amount of the indemnity to be paid by the imperial government on ac- count of admitted liability for the de- Of an American vessel on the high seas.

GERARD WIRES GERMAN REPLY
 BE FAVORABLE
Informs State Department Atmosphere m Berlin In- dicates Satisfactory An swer as to Submarine Warfare
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

WASHINGTON. June 2S.-A favor able German reply to the last note or the United States concerning submar- inc warfare was predicted by Ambas- sador Gerard in an official uispatcn to the state department While there was no attempt to outline the reply. he de- scribed the atmosphere in Berlin off cial quarters as favorable tO a satis- factory reply.
 He referred to the visit Of Dr An ,on Meyer Gerhard. ennis sary of Count Van Bernstorff. the German ambassa - dor. pointing out that the latter's in formation apparently impressed the German government with the idea that that United States did not want war with Germany, but desired a satisfac- tory reply to it's original demands The fact that the ambassador took occasion to predict informally the nature of the reply is regarded as significant
 The ambassado understood the Ger man official purpose to be to make no concessions which affect the use Of submarine means as warning on the commerce of Great Britain. but to pro- pose some way in which American lives and legitimate interests may be safe guarded. officials have no inkling as to the methods by which this object is to be attained. but from previous dis patches it is assumed that arrange ments will be suggested whereby Ger man submarines will refrain entirely from attack on the ship of any nation ality primarily used for passenger trav- el while continuing to wage vigorous warfare on enemy ships devoted chiefly to the transportation of contraband.
