GERMANY COMEDIES
CLAIMS IN FRYE CASE
sti,I Further Announces Tint Tcutons
VIII Modify Submarine Warfare.

Washington, Jan. ? Secretary Lansing
made public the text o. tho note from
Germany dealing with arbitration of the
points of difference over treaty intcrpreta-
iion, involved in the consideration of the
destruction of the American sailing shin
William r. Frye. While the note bears
date of November %, and has been in
possession Of the state departmen some
weeks. 1t was not made public until to-
day because assent to it's publication
had not been obtained from the German
government
The position taken by Germany in this
now note is regarded as emincnty salts
factory to tho United States government
Hut the outstanding feature Of tho note
Is not what it SANS regarding the mot hod
or fixing the damages which Germany
had already agreed to pay for the loss
of the Frye, nor tho manner IN which
the points Of difference over the inter-
probation of the old treaty between this
country and Prussia are to be submitted
to arbitral adjudication. The most i'm
portant thing in the note is Gcrmany's
acceptance Of the American contention
that the mere placing OF human beings
In an open boat at sea does not satisfy
the requirements of International law and
OF humanity.
Here is the text of that portion of the
note in which Germany accepts the
American contention.
The German government quito
shares the views OF tho American gov
eminent that all possible care must be
taken for tho security of the crew and
passengers of vessel to be sunk. Con-
sequently, the persons found on board
or vessel may not be ordered into her
nfeboats except when the general CON
dNions' that Is to say. the weather, the
condition of tho sea, and tho neighbor-
hood OF the COAST. afford absolute GER
'a'nty that tho boats will reach the
nearest port. For tho rest tho German
government begs to point out that in

ENGLAND AT TER COMMERCE OF
 RUSSIA

LONDON, April 6. - Chairs for the study of Russian have been established at the University of Birmingham, sim liar ones at Sheffield University and technical school and others in the north of England This is part of the plan by which systematic preparation is being made to capture the markets of Russia and South America, now that the war cuts off German goods from reaching those countries, andNan after war policy is being developed to fur ther restrict German trade.
 When Prince Von Buelow, the Ger man imperial chancellor, framed the German tariff law of 1902, he followed it with a commercial arrangement with Count Witte of Russia, which had much to do with the widespread entry of German goods in Russia. At the same time British trade in Russia fell off, and later the commercial treaty of the United States with Rus sia was broken off in connection with racial differences. The war has much changed these conditions; Germany's commercial agreement is at an end and her trade is stopped Russia is hemmed in on land and at her ports of exit through the Dardanelles and the ice ports of the north; and Britain looks upon Russia as almost a virgin

RAIDS IN JEWISH PEOPLE MUST
 CEASE

PETROGRAD, April 6. - An inter pellation in the Duma has been ad dressed to the government by promi- nent Liberal members regarding the alleged illegal action of the authorities against the Jews, particularly in Mos COW.
 On January 21 the Moscow police carried out a wholesale anti-Jewish raid, arresting old men and women in the streets merely because they were Jews or resembled Jews, and without any formal charge, according to the interpolation. The signers of the petition denounce these proceed ings as illegal, and unpermissable from the point of view of the real in terests of the state. They ask wheth- CT the ministry is aware of these acts and what steps have been taken to eliminate the consequences and to punish the guilty persons.
