the sinking Of the ship, William p.
Frye, by the German cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich unless in the mean
time Germany should forward a com
munication to the United States on

The state department today waited
for the owners Of the William p. Frye

and other measures Of redress
While these developments occupied
the attention OF the law officers of
the government the question of the
length of stay of the Eitel at Newport

navy departments. The board named
by the secretary of the navy To de-
termlne the nature OF the repairs re-
quired by the Eitel was expected to

The opinion still prevailed among
officials. however, that the German
ship would be interned and that until
Germany has indicated what she pro-
poses to do the government would let
this matter as we'll as the alleged de-
tention of the Prinz Eite1 of a mem

PURITY

The ingredients OF the food
you eat and give your children
should be pure and hea1thfu1
beyond any question.
Various food officials and
pure food experts have frequently
endorsed Royal Baking Powder as
being superior to all other SINH
lar preparations, and many Of the
great chemists of the world,
including most OF those OF
official position, have given
like testimony.
No other article Of food has
ever received such emphatic
commendati ion For purity, strength
and who1es oneness, from the most
eminent authorities, as Royal
Baking Powder.
Because Royal Baking Powder
adds only hea1thfu1 qualities to
