Washington, D. c., April Seer
many's intention to compensate the
owners of the American ship William
P. Frye, formally was communicated
to the United States government to-
day. Ambassador Gerard cabled the
note handed him by the Berlin ror-
eign Office in reply to the recent
American communication submitting
the claim of indemnity of $22S,091 on
behalf of the Frye's owners. The for
eign Office upholds without qualifca.

law of the raiders action in sinking
the Frye, and bases the liability of
Germany to pay indemnity solely up.

of 1899 and 1928.

compen sation for the sinking by Prinz

William P. Frye, assuming liability
not only for the destruction of the
vessel, b.; of the cargo, under the

however, that the case be taken be-
fore the prize court for establishment
of facts concerning the ownership of
the ship and cargo. To this the state
department will assent.
lnternment Of Prinz Eitel.
The final steps in the internment
of the Prinz Eitel were postponed to-
day on instructions from Secretary
Daniels, to permit the funeral with
full military honors tomorrow at
Newport News for Seaman Pref, one
of the cruisers sailors VINO died
aboard two days ago. At the request
of Commander Thierichens the Eitel
was permitted to remain at Newport
News until after the funeral, when
she will go to the Norfolk navy yard.
1t was suggested tonight that the
raider might not remain at the navy
yard for period of her internment
because of the crowded conditions
there, but will be taken under the con.
voy of an American warship to an
other place to remain until the end
of the war.

MUST RELEASE
AMERICAN SAILOR
United States Scores Important
Ruling in Reference 70 Cap
tives of Belligerents.

Washington, D. c., April S.-An i'm
portant point was scored by the Amer
lean government in negotiations that
have been in progress with belliger.
ent nations during the war with the
purpose Of securing protection of nat.
uraliZed American citizens. 1t is
learned that the French and British
governments have joined in consent
ing to release August Piepenbrink, a
steward on the American steamship
Windber, who was taken off by the
French cruiser Conde when the ship
was two days from Coon, enroute to
New York.
Piepenbrink was born in Germany
and filed declarations of his intention
to become an American citizen in
Seattle in 1910.
France claimed the steward had not
completed naturalization and there
fore was German subject, and a
naval reservist is properly a subject
of arrest. He was turned over to the
British military authorities at Kings
ton, Jamaica, who also refused to de.
liver him up on the same ground. The
state department asked the prisoners
release, insisting that a sailor on an
American vessel who has declared his
intention of becoming an American
citizen. remains on the vessel under
the laws of the United States, and is
considered as having acquired citizen
ship. The department, moreover, held
that the sailors removal, though not
citizen, was without justification un-
der the rules of international law.

possible, a Carnegie hero medal for
little eight-year-old Earl Ployhar, who
last Saturday was instrumental in
saving the life of five year Old COM
panion who almost lost his life by
drowning in the icy waters of the
Sheyenne. Both the boys are we'll as

minister of war, dated yesterday,
which reads: ..
THE western side of the Ypres CO.

fled in disorder, leaving behind them

Italy Explains Situation.
Italy's fai ure to enter the war up

the country's statesmen do not wisf,
to plunge the nation into the enor-

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER

Reports from the south indicate a
decided change for the better in iD
dustrial conditions. The prosperity
of that section of the United States
has been 30 dependent on cotton tina,
demand for this product has already
everything to do with the material
welfare of the south. Good buying OF
the staple began some moEshs ago,
and prices steadily improved until
now very satisfactory returns are to
be had. The "buy a.bale-of cotton
movement is a thing Of the past. Lit.
le is heard of the campaign started
last fall looking to the curtailment Of
cotton acreage. However, there is
likelysto be q better diversiication OF
crops this season than ever before,
and consequently a corresponding re-
ductiOn in cotton acreage.

he calls the steady encrsachment of
the C~apitalistic Courts. apon the la

the speech he said, The capitalist
courts are the darling instrumentali-

conservation of craft unionism and
for the swift suppression of all revol

movement" The conclusion Is in
evitable that the capitalist class is
