tually certain that the government Will
frain form violation of what the United
States contends are its rights.
Germany's Contention.
Germany replies that as the Frye's
cargo Of wheat destined to England was
contrabahd. the ship was liable to con-
fiscation and that as an attempt to- take
the prize into a German port would
have imperiled her captor, the destruc-
ton of the Frye was according to gen.
eral principles of international law
1.-THE right of sinking says the Ger
man note. "is not mentioned In the
treaty, and is, therefore. neither express
ly permitted nor expressly prohibited, so
that ON this point the party stlpulatlons
must be supplemented by the general
rules of international law. 1t
is not disputed by the American govern-
ment that according to the general prln.
ciples of international law a oeillgerent
is justified in sinking neutral vessels
under almost any conditions Ior carl!
ing contra band"
The note argues at length for the GER
man ihterpre tHtion of the disputed treaty
provision contending that its lntent Is ~
establish reasonable compromise De
tween the military interests Of the bel
mercial interests of the neutral party.
Right of Belligerents.
"On the one hand" says the note'
1.-The belligerent party is to nave the
right to prevent the transportation OF
war supplies to his adversaries, even
when carried on vessels of the neutral
party: on the other hand the commerce
and navigation of the neutral party Is
to be interfered with as little as pos
sible by the measures necessary Tor
such prevention, and reasonable COM
pensation is to be paid for any neon
venience or damage which may, never
theless. ensue from the proceeding OF
the belligerent party"
That, IN short, is Germany's argu-
ment, based on her Interpretation OF
the treaty, and to that .he view OF
the United States is squarely opposed.
Payment for the Frye in the manner
suggested will not affect the question
of rights under the treaty.
A German prize court July 10 held
the imperial government for damages,
but fixed no amount, since the United
States declined to become party to
the proceeding, demanding settlement
by diplomacy under the treaty.
The case of the American steamer
Leelanaw, recently sunk by a German
submarine, is parallel to the Frye case.
1t now is in the preliminary stages of
diplomatic negotiation.
