ace to British shipping, and success
of the British troops in the region of
Labassee, are for the, moment the
most interesting topics Of discussion
among the Britons. Whether the
Friedrich will be interned or will
again set out on the high seas, is con.
sidered here her career as an armed
cruiser must end, for should she sail
after repairs, the ships of the Allies
will soon sink her.
Possible action of the American
government with regard to the sink
ing by the Eitel of the steamer VIII

cussed, and general view is that If
the United States allows German war
ships to sink American ships with
foodstuffs for England, that the govern
ment could ma, dly protest against :ha
Allies prohibition of foodstuffs for
Germany.
Newport News, Va, March H.
Commander Thierichens of the Ger
man cruiser Friedrich, which late to-
day went into dry dock here for re-
pairs needed after 6 months priva-
teering on the Pacific and Atlantic,
has submitted two statements to Col
lector Hamilton. One stated his reas-
ons for sinking in the South Atlantic
on January %, the William P. Frye,
loaded with a cargo of wheat for
Queenstown.
The other related to length of time
which will be required to repair his
ship. Collector Hamilton announced
that he would forward the statements
to Washington.
$ The commander frankly stated to
American ocffiials that he sank the
Frye because he regarded the cargo as
a contraband of war.
The Eitel discharged the crews of
the British, French and Russian ships

crew in the afternoon. The British
crews plan to return to England on

The increased demand for metor,

suspicion that the imports from the

into Germany, is due. largely to the
increasing number of motor boats
