GERMANY INSISTS
ON ITS POSITION
Claims Sinking of the Frye
Was Justified.
WILLING TO PAY FOR SHIP
The Note Suggests Two Ways OF De-
ternining the Indemnity To
Be Paid To the Ship
owners.

Washington. = Secretary Lansing
made public Germany's reply to the
recent American note dealing with the
case Of the sinking Of the American
sailing ship William p Frye, of which
Captain Kuhne, Of Baltimore, was
master, when 1t was sunk by the Ger
man auxiliary cruiser Prinz Etel
Friedrich. In the reply just received
the German government insists upon
its Interpretation of the treaty and
challenges again the contention Of the
United States government that the
destruction Of the Frye constituted a
violation of article Is of the Treaty
OF 1893, between the country and
Prussia. Germany takes the position
that the commander of the Prinz Eitel
Friedrich had right to sink the YES
sci and admits the liability under the
Treaty Of 1893 to pay indemnity for
the loss OF the vessel.
The German government explains
shat the German prize court, at Ham
burg, found by its judgment on July
10 that the Frye carried contraband,
that the vessel could not be taken
into court and its sinking was justi-
fed, but the prize court recognized
the validity Of the Treaty of 1893, max.
Ing the German government liable for
the payment of indemnity for the loss
of the vessel.
The prize court was unable to fx
the indemnity because the interested
parties did not submit the necessary
data and in order to fix the indemnity
the German government suggests that
each government name an expert,
these experts to fix the amount of the
indemnity, which will be promptly
paid. But if the United States gov
eminent does not agree to the pro-
posed method of settlement the Ger
man government asserts its willing
ness to submit the different opinions
to the Hague Tribunal for settlement
The unofficial view here is that
PREPARATION by commission of exports
probably will be satisfactory to the
United States with the express pro-
vision, however, that it is not a waiver
of treaty rights for which the Ameri-
can government contends, but applies
only to the matter of damages.
II is practically certain that if the
United States allows the dispute to go
to The Hague for Interpretation of the
treaty provision or continues the
academic discussion Of principles
through the channel of diplomacy, it
will insist that, meanwhile, Germany
refrain from violation of what the
United States contends are its rights.

A Case of Bible READING

BROAD PLAN FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE
But President Wilson is Opposed
TO MiIitarism.
WANTS A DEFINITE PROGRAM
The Presidents Idea 10 To Propose a
Program That VIII Have the
United Support Of Con-
gress and Be Adopted.

Cornish, n. H.-With the object OF
developing broad and convincing pro-
gram of national defense which will
meet with the approval of Congress
President Wilson is planning to CO.
operate with the chairnen of the Mill
tary and Naval Affairs Committees of
the Senate and House, as well as with
Secretaries Garrison and Daniels, of
the War and Navy Departments, be-
fore he finally decides on the recon-
mendations he will make in his next
message TO Congress.
The President told friends here that
while he had made no definite plans
for consulting with the chairmen of
the committees interested in the ques-
ton Of national defense he would ar
range to see them before Congress
conyenes in order to unite on a single
program Of action.
When the President sees the chair
man Of the four committees he ex-
poets to have before him the reports
now being prepared by Mr. Garrison
and Mr.. Daniels. The heads of the
War and Navy Departments are ex-
peeted to take part in the conference,
or series Of conferences, in order to
explain personally their recommends
tions.
Invites Committee ChaIrmen.
The President already has written
to Chairman Padgett OF the House
Affairs Committee inviting this digni-
tary TO meet him on Mr. Wilson's re-
turn to Washington. While he did not
say whether he had written similar
letters to the chairmen of the other
committees, it was reported that he
had done so.
The President believes the time has
come for the United States to decide
on definite program of national de-
Tense, and he is anxious that as little
friction as possible develop over the
question when it is presented to the
two houses of Congress. He will not
decide in his own mind on the kind
OF program required until he has
thoroughly examined the reports Of
Mr.. Garrison and Mr. Daniels and has
received the views of Congressional
leaders.
The plan Of the President is to con-
slider carefully program Of national
defense after free consultation with
others and then to throw the entire
weight of the administration behind
the policy agreed on.
AS already indicated, the part Of his
next message devoted to national de-
Tense is expected to be the most i'm
portant of the entire document. Much
thought has already been given by the
President to the subject since his ar
rival here, but he will convey no indi-
cation OF his ideas until he obtains
more information. He is opposed to
policy Of "militarism," but thinks the
United States should be adequately
defended.
