INFLUENCE OF GERMAN
Note ON Other NEGOTIATIONS

Washington, April 9.-Close study
by officials of Germany's note assum-
ing full liability for the destruction of
the American sailing ship William p.
Frye. reveals many points that may
have a far-reaching effect on other
legal questions arising between the
United States and Germany during the
present war.
Germany's acceptance of the treaty
Of 1928 as still binding would make
it apparently incumbent on her, Of
ficfals thought, to pay for any losses
sustained by American shippers of
contra band articles in American YES
sells. although the right to lawfully
detain such cargoes and compensate
the owners at a later date was re-
served. There Is a question also ia

hope of safety. That was our Ameri-
can nilsson property, guarded by the
American flag, and, what was even
more potent than the flag, the posi-
ton of influence and confidence earn :
ed by long years Of service by our

1T Is estimated that in all 10000
took refuge in our mission compounds
Of Urumiah, while 5000 more were
given shelter at the French mission.
Those who took refuge with us were
unframed, while villages were being
plundered and burned and hundreds

A Daring Act
The communication then described
how DR.. Packard, missionary phXsi-
clan, at the risk of his life, conferred
with the Kurdish chiefs and begge ]
that the lives of the persons in Il

sieged, might be given to him.. He
agreed that the kurds should have
every bit of property in the village

/ Chicago. April 1b.--Acute scarcity
OF wheat reserves predicted for the
near future had bnilish effect today
on the wheat market here, hut rural
| holders were said to be selling a lit
tie more freely. and some of the gain
in price disappeared There was an
unsettled close at " to nc above
| last night. Corn finished a shade to
I ~ higher, oats off y a nc to PC
up and provisions down sc to Ice.
Buying OF wheat started with q
rush, influenced TO some extent by
cable advices, especially word that
estimates Of the exportahle surplus OF
India had been reduced TO $4,000. 600
bushels as against previous estimates
of 100, 000, O00 bushels Later the bull
side was favored by notice that ex-
port elearances from the United
States for the last twenty-four hours
totaled 100000 bushels, and that
Europeans had purchased at aaboard
today 500 600 bushels additional
Moreover assertions were current
that fully S.000, GOO bushels of spring
wheat had been sold TO leave On
luth as soon as possible after the OPP
ening of The Great Lakes navigation

On the other hand, caution began

day after statements were made that
sales Of wheat 10 GO e. store here, had
taken place to the amount Of l50,-
600 bushels,
Corn was helped upward by wheat
strength and by continued reports OF
crop damage in Argentina. Country
offerings, though, as was the case with
wheat increased somewhat on the,ad-
vance. Two steamers were announc-
ed TO leave Chicago tonight with
700, GOO bushels Of corn for Buffalo,
the first vessels of the season. In
the OATS trade, free buying of July
and selling of May by houses that
generally act for the seaboard caused
decided narrowing of the spread be-
tween the two deliveries. There was
also a good deal of speculative buying
of july.
