KAISER CONFIRMED
C0URT-MARTIAL DOOM
OF CAPTAIN FRYATT
News of Death Sentence Was
Wired to Imperial Headquar-
ters, Maastricht, Holland,
Dispatch Says
ALL ENGLAND AROUSED

LONDON, July 2s.-That Kaiser Will
helm himself confirmed the sentence Of
death found by court-martial trying Cap
tain Fryatt, of the passenger liner Brus-
sells, for his attempt to ram a submarine,
was reported in a Maastrlcht dispatch here
today. II served further to in1ame Bris-
ish feeling against what press and public
alike branded as ''surpassing the execu-
ton of Miss Edith Cavell, the British
nurse, in cold-blooded ferocity."
The Maastrlcht dispatch asserted that the
Duke of Wurttemberg wired the sentence
of death pronounced by the naval court
martial at Zeebrugge on Fryatt to imperial
headquarters asking for confirmation. The
War Council IL was said, granted this con-
firmation at once, all its members, includ
ing the aKiser and General Erich Won
Falkenhayn. former War Minister, agree
Ing on the justice of the death sentence.
British bitterness against Germany,
aroused by the execution in Belgium of
putting to death of Captain Fryatt. In
some respects, British offisials declare, the
death of the British sailor for defending
his ship was even more inhuman than the
execution of the British nurse.
British newspapers today express their
horror over the Germans act. The Gov
ernment can do nothing at present but
await the report which has been asked from
James w. Gerard, American Ambassador
at Berlin.
Citizens of neutral countries now in Lon
don Joined in condemning the. Germans to-
day. Henry w. Thornton, American gen.
eral manager of the Great Eastern Rail-
way declared Fryatt's execution "a
crime"
There was absolutely no justification for
it," he declared.

The testimony Of Albert Furlow. commits

HIS close connection with the police head.
Furiow while on the stand yesterday was
asked whether he had ever called upon Rob

gone in an automobile with his wife and
that his wife had remained outside while
he went In to see the Superintendent.
Later, however, he contradcted the de-

General Halg so indicated in his report
today. Usually sparing OF descriptive ad-
jectlves. the British Commander-in-Chief
embellished his brief statement OF today
with such terms as hand -to-hand struggles
continuing without intermssion," violent
opposition" by the Germans and desperate
enemy attempts"
1t is the belief OF military experts here
that the Kaiser is now utilizing the great
reserves concentrated in front of the Brit
ish line from Verdun and other points on
the western battle front in a bitter en-
deavor to wrest back from the Britons
the land they have captured in the last
few days. Despite this. Haig reported con-
tinued progress today.
Haig reported abundant evidence that
the losses we inflicted during the last few
days has been extremely severe particu-
larly around Delville wood. where two or
three regiments appear TO have been anni-
hilated."
The text OF Haig's report follows:
During the night the enemy made
two desperate efforts to recapture Del
vile wood, but he was repulsed with
heavy loss. The hand-to-hand struR-
gle north and northeast of Pozieres
and in the neighborhood continues. We
made progress in all three places, de-
spite the violent opposition OF the en-
emy' The artillery firing on both sides
Is increasing in intensity
There Is evidence TO show that the
losses inflicted on the enemy in the
last Few days were severe. particularly
at Delville wood, where two 10 three
regiments apparently were annihilated
