SOLUTION Of FRYE
CASE IS REACHED
U. 8. GOVERNMENT TRIES TO
AVOID FURTHER WRANGLE
OVER SINKING OF SHIP.

Washington, D. c., Aug II. Admin
istration officials today were hopeful
that the American reply to the last
German note regarding the sinking OF
the American ship William P. Frye,
dispatched to Berlin last night, would
result in a settlement of the dispute
growing out of the incident. The com
munication probably will be given out
for publication Saturday.
The United States, 1t is said, agrees
to accept payment for the Frye. as pro
posed by Germany, the amount to be
fixed by a German-American commits.
sion, although 1t reiterates that des-
truction Of the vessel was In contra
vention of the Prussian-American
treaty of 1928. Acceptance Of the COM
mission method makes an appeal to
arbitration at The Hague unnecessary.
Germany stipulated that payment
was not to be regarded as satisfaction
for violation of American treaty rights,
while the United States. it is under
stood, accepts, provided no treaty
rights are waived.
The United States claims that
Article 13 of the treaty In squestion
specifically protected the Frye from
being sunk, although not protecting a
contraband cargo Germany, however,
contends that the treaty only obligates
her to pay damages The new Ameri-
can note, it is said, rejects this con-
tention.

Great Precautions Taken to
Get Tons Of Specie to
Subtreasury Vault
TWO SCORE ARMED
MEN GUARD TRAIN
Pilot Engine Precedes the
Money to Test Out All
Bridges Along Way

New York, Aug. 11.--A special train
carrying $52,0O0,0O0 worth Of gold an6
securities which had been shipped by
the Bank of England from London by
the way Of Halifax, N. S., to this city,
arrived here today. The train was
composed of several steel cars and was
guarded by forty armed men.
OF the total shipment, $4,000, 900
was in gold and was believed to be in
the form of American double eagles.
The weight Of the gold shipment was
about seventy-fiv tons. 1t was said
to be the largest single shipment of
gold ever sent across the Atlantic
ocean In one vessel.
1t was brought over in British
battleship which was conveyed
through the war zone and across the
ocean by cruiser and flotilla of
torpedo boat destrOyers to guard
against an attack of German submar-
ines. The cost Of transferring 1t
from London to New York was esti-
mated today to have been $250,0O0.
It was said that the British battle
ship brought over not only the $52,-
100000 in gold and securities to New
York but also shipment of gold
destined for Canada, whose treasury
recently sent gold amounting to $685.
100000 to New York.
Secrecy was maintained in sending
this great shipment of gold and pre-
cautions were taken to prevent the
German secret service from discover
ing the plan or route of forwarding It..
At Halifax 1t was delivered into the
custody of the American Express Co.,
and when the armed train left that
city it was preceded by pilot engine
for the purpose of testing bridges and
to Illustrate any attempt to wreck the
train by the use of dynamite. This
precaution was suggested by the ex-
plot of Werner Horn, the German re-
servist who attempted to blow up the
Saint Croix river bridge on February
O. to stop shipments of munitions to
the allies. The route over which the
train proceeded from Bangor, Me-, to
New York was kept secret. Robert
e. M. Cowie, president and general
manager of the American Express Co.,
said that the transfer was the greatest
risk ever taken by an express COM
pany.
Eight policemen were sent to meet
the train here and guard the gold un-
til it was delivered at the subtreasury.
p. Morgan & Co., of this city were
the consignees. The purpose OF the
transfer of gold was understood to be
to reinforce British credit here and to
improve the exchange situation, as the
English pound sterling has deprecated
of late The securities are presumed
to be American bonds, to be used as
the basis for further advances to the
British government
