perjury, William II. Bell OF this city

nominal punishment. He was sen
fenced to ten days in Jail by Federal

this morning by Supt. Swartzlander

The mans advanced years, he being
&c years old, the fact that he had
been in Jail since January 8 and the
further fact that he was unable to

the government attorneys to recon-
mend a nominal sentence The jury

of the reply the German government
would make.
1t was dispatched to American Am
bassador Gerard June "a and by him
presented to the German foreign office
last Sunday afternoon.
The communication asks that Ger
many reconsider her refusal to settle
by direct diplomatic negotiations in
stead of by prize court proceedings,
the claim presented on the behalf of
the captain and owners of the Frye
and points out that such proceedings
are unnecessary and not binding upon
the United States in view of Germans s
admission of liability for the sinking
of the ship under the treaty of 1928.
The American Government declares
that 1t will accept indemnity if paid
promptly, as reparation. It is made
clear that the United States will not
accept Germany's contention that she
has a right to stop the carrying of
contraband by American ships "by
destruction of the contraband and the
ship carrying It,"
While no mention of submarine
warfare was made in either the last
German note or the present reply, oc-
casion was taken to deny this right,
because Of 81 belief that admission of
1t now might in the future be used
as a Justification for submarine at
