It is very brief It is confined pricipally to recital of the legal aspects of the sinking of the Frye and in polite and diplomatic language suggests that Germany make "reparation." This is the text of the instruction to Ambass- ador Gerard:-
 You are instructed to present the following note to the German foreign office:-
