SAFETY IGNORED IN
REPLY TO FRYE NOTE
Germany Said to Have Limited
Answer to Question Of
Damages.

WAsHINTGoN, Dea 22.-Theye were
Indications In Washington tonight that
Germany has failed 10 clear UP TO the
satisfaction Of this Government the ques-
ton OF her altitude toward the practice
Of turning passengers and crews loose
on the high seas in open ~lifeboats before
to%rpedoing merchant vessels.
This question was injected by the
United States INTO the correspondents
tha; resulted between the two countries
over the sinking last January OF the
American grain ship William T.. Frye
by the German raider Prlnz Eitel Fried
rich. In Its last note on his case the
United States took the position THAI the
obligation of belligerent war vessels In
attacking merchant ships to put pas
sengers and crews into places OF safety
was not complied with by placing them
in open lifebOats.
While nothing IN the circumstance
connected with the sinking of the Frye
suggested q violation of this particular
obligation. this Government deemed II
necessary TO obtain an expression from
Germany because OF the approach of
winter and rOush weather along the
English coast The Frye case, therefore.
was selected az the opportunity for put
ting this question TO the Berlin Foreign
Office.
The German reply is before Secretary
Lansing and there are Indications to-
night In some quarters that the German
Foreign Office In this note has confined
itself chiefly to the question Of an as
sessment OF damages and a settlement Of
the actual circumstances OF the Frye
case
On the other hand. some State De-
partment officials who have seen merely
the advance summary OF the note cabled
by Ambassador Gerard we're Of the
opinion that Germany has given a IA
vorable response to the question OF plac-
Ing passengers and other non-combatants
In open lifeboats II WAS acknowledc ed,
however. that the summary was obscure
and that there was a difference OF opinion
as to what Germany had said.
Secretary Lansing declined to-day TO
make any OF the contents of the
note. His refusal to make the note pub
lie was accepted In some quarters az an
indication that Germany had simply ig-
nored the question on the ground that II
was not material to the Frye case.
With respect to the other questions
raised In the Frye controversy the
United States has conterdcd that tho
treaties OF 1893 and 1875 Netween the
United states and Prussia were v!o-
lated by the sinking II the Frye. Ger
many. on the contrary. insists that these
treaties justified the sinking. II Is to
obtain an impartial verdict on this point
that both countries have agreed to ar-

Norway will take no official cognizance
OF the presence OF Henry Ford and his
peace party or of the objects of the

tho correspondent Of THE SUN and n
few of the other correspondents with
the party visited one of the highest Of

The official declared:
Mime. Rozslka Schwimmer visited me

afrccs, verbal or written. that Norway
would take any action toward peace We
snail do no more now. as the time la not

"Had Nine. Schwlrnmer been abl" 10

some action, but first IL would lie ueccs-
sary to consult sweden and Denmark as
