frye case. 1t was looked for here
about Monday. It's main points, 1t
was believed will be these:
Announcement of prize court
decision concerning damages for the
loss of the Frye hull and incidental
losses to the owners.
2-Contention that Germany had q
right to sink the Frye because Of dan
ger to the raider which did the sink
ing.
3-Expression of the German opin-
ion that the prize court decision closes
the incident.
It was expected the United States
will deny that danger from enemy
warships forced the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich to sink the Frye; that it will
stand by the 1928 Prussian-American
treaty's requirement that contraband
must be delivered out Of the hold" OF
neutral vessel without damage to
the vessel itself, and that it will re-
ject the prize courts decision, whath-
er financially satisfactory or not, on
the ground that no prize court can in

The Frye incident, however, was
considered a diplomatic matter which
cannot lead to a break in relations.

NO RECOGNITION FOR
AZ FACTIONS IN MEXICO

Washington, April 29.-Recognition
of any factions in Mexico during the
present uncertain state OF affairs is
not contemplated by the United States
government according to expressions
by high officials. Bryan told inquir-
ers that the subject Of recognition had
not reached the point of formal con-
sideration.
Persons close to the White House
said Wilson intended to study the
question carefully before committing
the American government to recogni-
ton of any elements in the field, and
that he did not purpose to take any
action until the military situation in
Mexico City had clarified. Until there
is evidence of agreement among all
the principal leaders, it is generally
believed here that recognition will be
withheld.

K. P. LODGE NO. 26 HOLDS
AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING

Wednesday evening the local lodge
of the Knights of Pythias held an i'm
portant meeting. There was great en-
thusiasm manifested and the attend
ance totaled just about an even hum
dred. Grand Chancellor Ego, of Lis
bon, happened along and he was most
agreeably surprised to see such turn
out. ,.,,
One feature of the business transact
ed was the report of the temporary
committees on finance and grounds.
They reported that plans looked feas-
ible and the outlook was encouraging
for the erection of $4,000 Pythian
home, including gymnasium, for the
boys of Valley City. Impromptu talks
were given by DR.. Pray, Rev. Vermilya,
C. J. Lee, DR.. Zimmerman, N. II.
Johnson, o. Knudson, Andrew Bonhus,
II. S. Henry, Grand Chancellor Ego and
others.
The result was that motion was
made and carried to have committee
of five appointed by the chancellor
commander, with full power to act and
report progress to the lodge. CON-
mander I. J. Moe has not yet announc-
ed the committee, but it will be com.
posed of substantial and progressive
business men who will have the full
confidence of the entire membership
of the X. P. organization.
The suggestion has been made that
the building be 5Ox12O with gymnas-
ium and swimming pool in basement,
meeting and club rooms on the first
floor, and lodge rooms on the second
floor. These details will be perfected
by the permanent committee. At the
present time the prospects appear
bright that the project will soon take
tangible form and be put through in
a successful manner.
