Ships as captives of German
Raider Were Released.

Newport News.-That the German

men Of the steamers lamar and Cole
by were taken from the Wilhelm
aboard a tug and rushed down the
river to the British horse ship Cas-
andra, which will sail for Glasgow.
The harbor was lined with British
merchant ships as the captfves OF the
German raider were released, and as
their tug steamed by more than l,0Oo
British sailors lined the decks OF the
ships and cheered.
When the liberated Britishers reach
ed the Casandra's deck, they hurr1edly
tossed the remnants of their luggage
aboard and danced around like school
boys in anticipation Of the trip tc
their native land, joyous that they had
miraculously escaped destruction BY
the guns of their own country's war
ships.

Washington.-Germa intention tc
compensate the owners of the Ameri-
can ship william p. Frye, sunk on the
high seas with her cargo OF wheat by
the commerce raider Prinz Eitel Fried
rich, was communicated formally to
the United States government.
Ambassador Gerard cabled a note
handed him by the Berlin foreign Of
flee in reply to the recent American
communication submitting an indem
nifty claim for S22S,059.54 on behalf of
the Frye's owners. The foreign Office
upholds the legality under internation
al law of the raiders action in sink

OF the German government to pay in
demnity solely on the old Prussian
American treaties of 1899 and 1928
which provide that contraband belong
ing to the subjects or citizens of eithe!
party cannot be confiscated by ths
other and may be detained or used on
ly in consideration of payment Of The

In view of this situation, the not

compensated for their loss. 1t is point
ed out, however, that the case must g,
into a prize court, that questions o

SAYS STATE GAME
| LAW IS VIOLATED
IF RESTAURANT KEEPERS DO
NOT DESIST ABSOLUTE PRO-
-HIBITION WILL BE SOUGHT.
STRONG SENTIMENT GROWING
Commission Claims the Bird Life Can
Be Preserved if the Laws Are
Strictly obeyed.
New Orleans

ANCW ollCaho.
Abso'vte prohibition OF the sale OF
game l.. this state is threatened as a
consequence of the refusal of restau-
rants to obey the laws relating to that
subject. The Conservation Commis-
sion is engaged in trying to obtain the
cooperation of the keepers of restau-
rants in this city and throughout the
state to put an end to the illegal sell
ing of game, and it hopes to succeed
by that means. If it fails, the commits
sion will try to enforce the law against
the violators, but this will be a diff
cult task because the commission has
not sufficient number of employees to
really enforce the law.
The commission is aware, however
that here exists throughout the state
d strong and growing sentiment in IA
vor of legislation that will prohibit the
selling of game at any season, and Il
recognizes that it may be compelled &c
take advantage of this sentiment i
other means fail, and to ask the Leg
islature to pass such law.
The commission believes that unoeI
the existing laws in respect of the sail
of game, the bird life of the state cal
be preserved, if the Jaws are strict!
obeyed, but if the restaurants are t
continue to evade the law by havinI
game shipped here in the guise OF egg
and rabbits, the game life of the stat
is in serious danger. Therefore, j
the view of the commission, it rest
with the restaurant keepers to deter
mine whether they shall be permitte
to buy and sell game for sixty day
during the year, or not at all.
Various violations of the law har
come to the attention of the commits
sion recently, and appeals have bee
made to the restaurant keepers to c.
operate with the commission in the el
forcement of the law. II they do 81
no further action will be taken
they do not the sentiment in favor {
entire prohibition will be appealed t
and with such a law the commissio
believes it can succeed in punishin
all violators.
