NEW FRYE NOTE TO BERLIN.
REPLY OF UNITED STATES ASKS
FOR REPATRIATION.
Maintains That Sinking OF Ship Was
Not Justified Under international
Law--Rcly on Former Treaty.

Washington. June 24.-The reply of
the United States to the last German
note regarding the case OF the Ameri-
can ship William p. Frye, sunk by
the commerce raider, Prins Eitel
Friedrich, was dispatched to Berlin
today.
In substance the note reiterates the
contention that the sinking of the
Frye was In violation Of international
law and of the Prussian-American
treaty OF 1925, and asks for reparation
without reference to prize court pro-
ceeding. Germany agreed to make
reparation under the treaty Of 1928
but justifies the destruction Of the
Frye and has referred the case to a
prize court.

possibility OF the recommendation not
being accepted.

land will be required to hold the
trials on. No birds will be shot and
no damage will be done to any Of. the
fields. The trails were held at Chase
City, Va. last year.

high pedigree will be brought to

General.

The State.
Impending crises in Mexico have
caused Alva Lynch to return to CO.
lumbia. after 10 years in that faction
rlven and poverty stricken country.
Between $50 and 200 other Ameri-
can citizens returned on the same
boat. 1t was the attitude assumed
two weeks ago by President Wilson
that induced the Americans to cart
bag and baggage back to their native
heath.
When the United States govern
ment was on the verge of interven-
ton one year ago, and transports and
troops were dispatched to Vera Cruz
there were violent demonstrations
against Americans in Mexico CITY.
Many were compelled to seek safety in
Hight. TO avoid a duplication Of such
Jeopardizing circumstances, a large
portion of the American colony in
Mexico city departed two weeks ago,
demand that the warning factions lay
down their arms.
For months, flight from the war
zone has been practically impossible.
Each American who left two weeks
ago was supplied with a Brazilian
government passport, bearing the
| British legation seal. A train was
provided by the American govern
ment. In addition to this, there was
large convoy Of automobiles. Pass
age was taken from Vera Cruz on
the transport Buford for Galveston
Texas.
Fresh from the scenes Of poverty
and crime, Mr.. Lynch is bitter in his
arraignment of the contending fac
tions now cutting each others throats
"Huerta did have q disciplined army
he said yesterday, in recounting the
deplorable circumstances. Now the
so-called armies are nothing but
bands Of bandits, feeding off the fat
of the land, plundering and robbing
and numbering wholesale. Cattle are
driven off the ranches and shipped
away by the boat load and sold by the
outlaws. Farms are even stripped of
their oxen. The people can't plant
corn crops because they have moth
ing to plant with, and have conse-
quently been on the brink of starva-
ton for months"
Mr.. Lynch left an Englishman in
charge Of his ranch and mining in
terests.

ed to the mayor to take precautions
against possible disorder there, and
that official stated that ne would or
der sufficient increase in the police
force to insure against public demon
strations.
The appeal to the Marietta mayor
was made by a committee from the
Board Of Trade there, which body also
caused to be circulated among the
residents an appeal for the preserva-
tion of order. This appeal, in the
form of a circular addressed to the
I"Citizens Of Marietta" called attention
to the fact that certain of the Jew
ish merchants Of that place had been
threatened and asked the people rot
to countenance acts Of violence di-
rected against such persons or their
property.
These threats referred chiefly to no.
tices posted by unknown persons upon
the doors of some'of the Marietta
stores recently. warning the proprie-
tors to leave Marietta by Saturday
night "or take the consequences"
Despite these notices, prominent
residents of Marietta said tonight that
there was little racial prejudice here
because Of the Frank case and that
they did not anticipate serious trou-
BILE.
The appeal to the mayor, they ex-
planned. was merely a measure of
precaution.

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES

ReSimental Declaration Recounts
Stand for Unstained Name and
Fame OF Academy.

Annapolis, June 25.-Because the
members of the. regiment of naval
academy midshipmen feel that 1.-The
public has not had sufficient informa-
ton to understand, clearly their atti-
tude and that grave suspicion is rest
ing upon them. that their whole code
OF morals is on trial." they have is
sued a declaration Of principles in
connection with the examinations
scandal at the naval academy.
The paper was filed with Superin-
tendent Fullam and with that OFF,
GERS reply was posted aboard all the
ships Of the practice squadron today.
Decrying the necessity for making
such a statement and taking the stand
that such declarations of honor and
patriotism ordinarily are looked upon
as aifectation coming from officers
of the navy, the document says it be-
comes necessary because the public
seems inclined to believe that such
principles are no longer held at the
academy"
! After referring to the oath Of a
midshipman to sacrifice all to patriot
ism and honor, the statement saws
that mo dishonest practice where
knowledge of such practice has been
had by the members of the corps,
ever has been tolerated in the regi-
ment of midshipmen. Far from coun-
tenancing irregularities where they
have been detected. we have shown
our willingness to aid the authorities
in Kidding the naval service of the un-
desirable member.
Therefore, since We believe the
honor of the naval acedamy to be at
stake and since we consider it impera-
tive upon ourselves to protect it, we
send this declaration Of our principles.
in order that our attitude in this mat
ter may be made clear, definite and

Summerton, June 25.-A fine rain
is falling this morning which has
come in good time for the corn crop.
The corn crop in this section was
badly injured by the excessive rains
in May and at best with the most
favorable seasons from now On will
be very short. Cotton is small, but is
growing rapidly. The tobacco crop is
poor. Wheat has turned out well and
the farmers who have never planted
it before feel encouraged to continue
to plant it. There have been a great
many visitors to our little town the
past week. Quite O number of young
ladies are visiting friends in town
and the st. Matthews baseball team
was here for three days. Quite a fine
lot of fellows, and they can play very
well. Just as a matter Of courtesy we
let them have the best two out of
three games.
They left here for Sumter yester-
day and we think they will fird Sum-
ter equally as courteous as Summer
ton.
Among the Sumter people in town
this week were Hon. r. B. Belser,
Rev. j. p. Marion and Mr.. Ed.
Haynsworth.
Mr.. Marion is conducting a weeks
service at the Presbyterian church,
which We have no doubt will be quite
a blessing to the congregation. The
town is looking forward with a great
deal of pleasure to having Rev. Nc
Lendon hold a revival here this fall
some time.
