that early replies may be expected
from Carranza and villa to the re-
cent note OF the President adjuring

II is understood the replies will be

evidently having determined to play
the game out as at present in the
hope that 1t may gain a position on
that will entitle il 10 Reorganization.
Consul Silliman at Vera Cruz is said

WORKING
AGAINST MIDDIES
Representative Hay Declares
They Are Working to
Convict Them.
THREE MORE IMPLICATED
Ensigns Harrison. Confer, and Strubie
Will Be Made Parties to
Probe.

Annapolis. June 10.-Representative Hay
of counsel for the accused midshipmen
| in the probe of the court of inquiry into
the "cribbing" scandal at the Naval
| Academy. protested vigorously today
| against influence he claimed outside
| to convict the defendants in the case.
while others, equally guilty, have not
been accused
President Russell announced that three
additional men-Ensigns II. II. Harrison,
W. J. Confer and a. D. Strubie-had been
made parties to the proceedings. More
| midshipmen will be involved before the
court proceedings are concluded.
The protest against this outside in
fluence was coupled with that against
the alleged action OF Superintendent
Fullam, of the Naval Academy, in
suggesting TO Midshipman A. G..
Rogers that he employ new counsel.
Representative said:
Protest Against Fullnm.
The attorneys for the accused mid
shipmen would lige to enter pro-
test against the action of Superinten-
dent Fullam. in recommending to
Midshipman Rogers n change of coun-
sci in this case. 1t is well known
we are receiving no recompense for
our service here.
I'VE want to know If the superin-
tendent has any right to interfere
with the defendants: and. further
whether any of the witnesses to ap-
pear before the board must report to
Superintendent Fuliam first or the
board of inquiry.
Representative Hay also entered a
protest against the discrimination
which. he claims. is being shown in the
confinement $nder arrest of the seven
mid shipmen who have been recon-
mended for dismissal, on the receiving
ship Reina Mercedes. anchored in the
Severn River. A similar protest was
made at the beginning of the inquiry
to Superintendent Fullam and Secretary
Daniels. but neither agreed to release
the men.
That probably so per cent of the first
and second classes had advance infor-
nation about the examinations was the
statement of Arturo Fernandez. profess
sor of Spanish at the academy. He
stated he found about sixty papers
which. in his opinion. showed the men
must have had some information as to
what the examination papers would
contain.

VIEWS TREATY AS
"SCRAP OF PAPER
Germany Construes Old Prussan Pact Justification for

Department yesterday from Germany
with regard to the sinking Of the Ameri-

auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich.
In this note Germany places con-
struction on the old Prussian treaty OF

practically worthless SO far as its appli-
cability to present controversies is con-
cerned.
The German note declares, in effect.
that Germany has a right to destroy any
American vessel carrying contraband OF
war on condition that she pay for such
vessel Though the Frye case, with which
this claim has to do directly, IL not 4
submarine case, it is generally felt here
that the chief reason why Germany
makes this claim Is to protect her SUBJ

STATEMENT IS SILENT
Fails to Give Satisfactory Explanation
of What Particular Thing in Docu-
ment Baked Him.

The Presidents note was carefully
scrutinized last night for the particular
features in which it so radically differed
from the two preceding notes that Mr..
Bryan could not sign it. No such differ
ence was found and no reason whatsoever
is seen for Bryan's refusal to affix his
name to it after having signed the notes
Of February 10 and May Is.
TIL day of his resignation Mr. Bryan
said his forthcoming statement would ex-
plain why he could not sign this after
having signed the other two. Nothing
was found in his statement Of Wednes-
day night furnishing such an explana-
ton Consequently. all Washington was
looking to the note itself to disclose the
reason for his action. Not even Mr.
Bryan's statement of last night is re-
'garded as explaining why he signed the
first two notes and refused to lend his
name to the third.
..Strict Accounts biIity.''
In the note of February 10. following
Germany's war zone proclamation, the
world gives Mr.. Bryan credit for having
warned Germany that she should be held
to strict accountability for the acts
of her naval commanders. Germany also
was warned over Mr.. Bryan's signature
that the United States would take such
steps as were necessary to protect Amer
leans in their rights.
The note of May IL was even more firm
and forceful. characteristics which Mr..
Bryan last night deplored. Germany was
subjected to demands for disavowaI rep

emphasis, to call the attention of the i'm

responsibility which the government OF
the United States conceives it has in.

THE government of the United States,
reads the note - 4. is contending for
nothing less high and sacred than the
rights of humanity which every govern
lnent honors itself in respecting, and
which no government is justified in re-
signing on behalf OF those under its care
and authority.
At the outset and in various passa ges
later, this government processes to see
in the German note touching on the Gulf
light and Gushing cases the full recog-
milton by the imperial German govern
ment of the principle of the free
dom of all parts of The open sea to neu-
trial ships" but Ia the case of the F.ala ba,
a British passenger ship. the government
of the United States is surprised to find
the Imperial German government con-
tending that an effort OF the part OF a

cure assistance alters the obligation of
the officer seeking to make the capture
in respect of the safety of the lives OF
those on board the merchantmen al
though the vessel had ceased her attempt
to escape when captured.

admit that Germany has a right to
go ahead and sink all American ships
carrying contraband,. and escape cer-
sure by paying for them. The sug-
gestion is repudiated most emphati-
cally, particularly in view Of the fact
that Gerpany's present methods Of
sinking vessels exposes the lives of
all on board to destruction quite as
much as vessel and cargo.
Germany argues that the right to
stop contraband carries with it the
right to destroy vessels and cargo

Never before have the frightful folles
Of this fatal system been 80 clearly re-

the nations of Europe are graphing with
each other as IL in a death struggle. They
are sacrificing the best and bravest of
their sons on the battle field: they are
converting their gardens into cemeteries
and their homes into houses Of mourning:
they are taxing the wealth Of today and
laying a burden OF debt on the toll of
the future: they have filled the air with
thunderbolts more deadly than those of
Jove and they have multiplied the perils
Of the deep. Adding fresh fuel to the
flame of hate they have daily devised
new horrors, until one side Is endeavor-
ing to drown noncombatant men. women

seeks to starve noncombatant men, wom-
