EXPLAINS FRYE CASE
Prize Court Action Merely in ubserv-
ance of Her Laws.

WASHINGTON, May %. Through
Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, the Ger
man government has explained its ac-
ton in sending the case of the Ameri-
can sailing ship William P. Frye be
fore the German prize court at Ham
burg for consideration.
This action was not intended by Ger
many as an answer TO the recent Amer
lean note, in which it was urged that
the submission of the Frye case to a
German prize court would be inappro-
pirate and would involve unnecessary
delay. 1t appears from the explanation
made by the German government that
the matter of the Frye was put before
the prize court because that was a nee
essary procedure under German law,
and that the prize court proceedings
will be wholly independent of the dip
lomatie handling of the demand for
payment of damages for the loss of
the Frye.
The state department was notified
last week by Consul General Henry
Morgan at Hamburg that the case OF
the Frye had been put into the prize
court. This news puzzled the state de
partment, who did not know whether
| it meant that Germany had decided Il
| deal with the case only in the prize
court or whether it was an automati,
procedure that could not be avoided
under German laws, but which wouI,
not interfere with the diplomatic set
| Element of the case. Accordingly.
despatch was sent ii Ambassador Ga
rard directing him to inquire whethe
the action was intended os Il reply /,
the American note of April IS, whicl
lasked that the arrangements for pay
ment of damages for the loss of tn
FRYE be handled systematically.
FL Yesterday Secretary Bryan reeelve
la cablegram from Ambassador Gerar
/ dated May -, as follows:
Foreign Office states that ii did no
intend to leave unanswered the note i
the William 7. Frye case, or to re2l
by sending the ship to prize court. !
formal reply will shortly be sent
While under German laws the action o
the prize court in issuing the monitio
is imperative. it remains totally ind
/ pendent of diplomatic negotiations =

Advance of Temperance Cause.


The w. c. T. U. met Friday after
noon with Miss Mary Newton. The
names of alternates of the convention
in Bellows Falls May q and % were
given as Mrs Edith Farnum and Mrs.
Inez Wright. After the transaction of
business the program followed upon the
topic, The Press.
In answer to the roll call temperance
clippings were read from various
newspapers, embracing many phases of
the question, among which were the
stand taken by Great Britain on the
use of intoxicants, which is not so he
role as at first supposed, the advanced
position taken by some of the col
leges and the plan of the Dartmouth
class of 1912 to hold q dry reunion this
wear, the call to the standard of total
abstinence as given by Secretary Bry
an in his recent address at Carnegie
hall, the resolutions adopted at Barre
by the recent Congregational confer
ence, the plans of the Unitarian asso-
citation in Boston to reach the public
with temperance truths by flashing
them where they can be read from the
streets, and many other clippings OF
equal interest.
A short conference on the question,
Does a Temperance Column Pay? was
| led by Rev. Ida Lewis, visitor, and
| the results hoped for seemed a conclu-
| sive argument in favor of making eff
| forts to secure more help of this kind
/ for the temperance cause. A list OF
| six papers in Vermont now using the
national temperance column was read
larger list is expected. The next
meeting viii be held June IL.
