GERMANY W|LLPAY
FOR SINKING FRYE
Action of EiteI's Commander
Held Legal, But Repara-
ton Is Promised.
CASE TO BE REFERRED
TO HAMBURG PRIZE COURT
Old Treaties With Prussia Quoted
as Reason for Offering Com
pensation for Cargo.

Secretary Bryan had before him today
the reply Of the German government to
the recent American note regarding the
destruction of the American ship William
+. Frye, together with her cargo of wheat.
by the German auxiliary cruiser lrinz
Etel Friedrich. in which Germany an
nounced her intention of compensatins
the owners of the Frye. The United
States government had claimed an in
demnity of S22S, S,059.54.
The reply had been transmitted by Am
bassador Gerard at Berlin, in which the
German government declares that the
sinking of the Frye was justified under
International law, and assumes liability
for the ship and cargo as well under the
treaties of 1879 and 1S2S. Germany de-
clares, however, that the case will have
to be taken before a prize court to eStab-
lish facts regarding ownership of ship
and cargo.
Gernlany's contention is that the Fryc'S
cargo of wheat was contraband, because
it was consigned for order to Queens
town, declared to be Il British fortified
port.
No notice is taken of the fact that. since
the wheat was sold Ell route to British
citizens, the United States filed a claim
for the vessel owners only, this question
being left for development in the prize
court

Forbidden by Japan.

1t is asserted that the late japanese
sequently informed Paul S. Reinsch,
the American minister. that Japan
could not permit the consummation of
such a project and that Mr.. Reinsch
replied that there was mo treaty to
prevent American contractors under
taking the task and that Japan's dec
laration of sphere of influence in
Fukien did not apply.
The American Steel Company still
holds a contract with China aggregat-
ing s20.000.O00 for underlined naval
construction, and under which only one
gunboat has been specified up to the
present. This contract was awarded
bythe Manchu government. The repub-
lican government evidently desired the
Santuao project to absorb the remain
der of the $20.000,000 but the company
expressed dissatisfaction.
Modification Probable.
Regarding the reply of Japan to the
second question of the United States,
it is denied in we'll informed quarters
that mixed system exists in the
arsenal. 1t is added that the replies
to the third. fourth and fifth questions
are contrary to the text of Japan's de-
mands, but that Japan already has
given the Chinese to understand that
she would modify these demands.
At yesterdays conference immigra-
ton TO South Manchuria again was dis
cussed, but NJ. Hioki, the japanese
minister, declared that he was not au-
thoriZed to reach conclusion on this
point The conferees then discussed the
demand that Japan in the province OF
F'ukien shall have the right to work
mines, build railways, construct har-
Dor works and be first consulted in the
employment of capital.
NJ. Hioki firmly pressed for the &C
ceptance of this demand.

FOR THEIR NE|GHDORS.

The hardest housekeeping IN
the world is the bUusek eeping
that people do for their neigh
bors. Half the troubles we have
are caused by worrying about
what people think. What differ
ence does it make what they
think, anyway No one can live
his own life and two or three
other people'e lives besides
What's the use of setting up
housek eepiDg on the roof or on
the outside walls for the benefit
of the neighbN.i You would
rightly be judged insane If you
suggested anything of the kind,
and that ia practically what half
the people do. They can't do
this because the neighbors would
talk, ana they can't do that be
cause the neighbors wonder Ii
they could not afford to do some
thing else, They may not say II
In 30 many words, bat they mean
II, and 1t is simply n great big
vacuum in some of our natures
where moral courage ought to be.
Half the stipg of poverty Or
small means ia gone when one
keeps house for himself and not
for his neigbors.

allow a thing to annoy you, just
az YOU allow fly to settle on

yourself by being thrown oil your

not trace out. But if you could
see what il was that threw you
off your balance before breakfast,

and follow it up and follow it out,

were in the natter The art of
forgetting is q blessed art, but
the art of overlooking ia quite IA
important. And il we should
take time to write down the orig

competition is eliminated anG one
and the same price is offered by
all the factories. When one is
approached by a cane buyer or the
sugar planter himself, and he
asks what price are you gong to
pay for cane, the answer he gets
is. II pay as much as anybody
else, or, Ill pay as much as Ade-
line, or Sterling, or Shady Side,
or Segura or Lafayette or God
chaux. Any other factories than
the ones mentioned above ale not
considered legitimate competi-
ton. and so it is the price of cane
is arbitrarily fixed by the men
who buy it. the men who have it
to sell have very little or nothing
to say as to the price they get for
it. Either take what is offered
or let your cane stay in the field
and freeze. In rare cases where
cane grower is situated equi-
distance between two loading sta
tions and the seasons crop is
short and he has pretty fair ton
mage. and he has not had to bor-
row from the sugar planter to
make his crop, and is not already
in the clutches of the sugar
planter. then YOU NAV see a little
spirited bidding for that particu-
lar cane. but no other and that
cane may bring zoe per ton over
all other cane shipped from the
same derrick.
