ing:
Aviation: On the morning of July

Quartermaster de Terline attacked a
German machine which was flying
over Chalons. The French pilot had
Just opened fire when the machine gun
jammed. The enemy was in full flight.
Two of our machines saw De Terllne
swoop upon his adversary at full
speed, crash into him and fall with
him to the ground. The French pilot
and two German airmen fell within
our lines. De Terline had already
brought down two enemy machines
and had just received the military
cross.

BERLIN TO ALLOW
TALKS ON PEACE.
Government Sees Time
Has Come to Let Down
Bars, Says Paper.

Berlin, July 2e.-There are indica-
tions that more freedom in the discus
sion of the war aims will be granted in
the immediate future. The German
National Committee" will begin great
speaking campaign on Tuesday, with a
list of speakers including many of the
most prominent men in Germany.
At the same time "The Independent
Committee for Obtaining an Honorable
Peace" will open its activities. and
"The Committee on the Guiding Prin-
ciples for the Way to Lasting Peace"
will convene in Munich.
The "Lokal Anzeiger" says Discus
sion of the peace aims is not yet per
uitted. We assume that following the
proclamations of the German National
Committee the government now con-
sders that the time has come TO let
down the bars on the censorship. We
take it TO be Understandable con.
dition that the principle Of 'equal
rights for all will be applied here, and
that what is permitted one will not be
forbidden another"
The "Lokal Anzeiger" refers TO its
campaign for freedom in the discussion
of peace conditions. and continues:
1--WE do not know yet what the differ
ent committees will bring us, and there
fore await their action and programmes
before talking about them. But we
know precisely that if the freedom OF
speech is permitted one association all
the others have the same right"

German Rule Announced
Before the War Began

Berlin. July 28.-The execution at
Bruges on July 27 of Captain Charles
Fryatt, of the British steamship Brus
sells, after trial by court martial for
attempting TO ram a German sub
marine, denotes d new phase in the
controversy over the sea rights of
merchantmen.
The German government prize regu-
lations. issued before the beginning Of
the war, adopted the principle that
merchantmen were not entitled TO com
nit acts Of war. and it threatened to
treat as pirates those attempting SO
10 do.
The execution of Captain Fryatt,
German officials contend, is in accord
with that principle which, according to
the German view, merely extends 10
sea warfare the principles already
controlling franc-tireur activity on
land
It is hoped in official circles here
that this case will lead TO dehnitive
clearing up of the question OF mer-
chantmen acting at intermittent tunes
as war vessels.

Washington Regards Berg
Merely as a BeIligerent

Washington, July 29.-The Federal
Courts decision holding for the British
owners in the Appam case, confronts
the United States government with de-
Gliding what to do with Lieutenant Berg
and his prize crew which brought in
the ship after one of the most thrilling
captures in the sea history of the war.
Generally speaking. Lieutenant Berg
and mis- men are regarded as part Of
Germany's naval forces, and if that
view were carried out to its conclu-
sion they would have to be interned
for the war with the crews of the two
other German commerce raiders, Prinz
Eitcl Friedrich and Kronprinz Wilhelm.

New-York tribune., 1916-07-30

the light OF rulings and interpretations
placed upon other contemporary
treaties" the decision continued.
especially Article II Of the Treaty Of
Amity and Commerce with France in
l17S, convinces the court that the Sec
rotary Of States ruling is correct and
that under the sasc prizes cannot be
brought into the waters Of the United
States for the purpose of laying up
by prize master. but can only be
brought in by the capturing vessel her
self, or war vessel acting as convoy
TO such prize. and then not for an in
definite period. but for the temporary
causes recognized by international
law"
Attorneys were notified that the
court would hear any motions they
desired 70 make next Wednesday at
noon. Consul Won Schilling. who was
in court with Lieutenant Berg, said an
appeal doubtless would be taken.

Dutch Press Bitterly
DenOunCes the Shooting

The Hague, Netherlands, July %
Commenting on the carrying out OF the
death sentence against Captain Fryatt
the "Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant
says:
Captain Frystt's execution perhaps
was justihable according to the pitlless
laws of war, or according to German
moral conceptions, but we call it a
tyrannous and unwarrantab elact.
"The Germans are fond of using the
word 'franctireur,' but it is the Ger
man way Of wagng the war that com
pels people TO fight for their lives in
this manner. The captains action
against the submarine was justifable
because the German submarine war is
illegal. His execution provokes dis
gust among neutrals, and il is sure
to increase the bitter hatred of Ger
mans enemies"
