Dutch Press Condemns
Execution of Fryatt

The Hagle, July 3O.-Some sections
Of the Dutch press condemn the exc
cution of Captain Fryatt in severe
terms, mostly on the ground that
whereas Germany claimed the right to
regard all hostile merchantmen as war
ships she should have treated the cap
tain as a prisoner of war and not as a
criminal. apart from other reasons for
sparing his life on the grounds of hu-
manity or even expediency.
The Amsterdam "Handelsblad," sum
ming up the case. calls il "dastardly
murder out of hatred and spite"
The Hague "Vaderland" thinks Ger
many should be made to suffer for this
deeply at the end of the war"
The "Telegraaf" says it learns from
the German frontier that the sentence
of death on Captain Fryatt was pro-
nounced on Thursday morning and that
in the evening Of the same day he was
executed on an Isolated plo. of ground.
One alderman from Bruges witnessed
the execution.

who Is seyenty-two years old, rises at
4 o'clock every morning and rides forty
miles on a motorcycle about the island.
Referring to the war. he said to his
French interviewer:
Your generals are far better than
the generals Of the enemy. They have
less routine and more talent. As for
the men, II is enough to cry the word
France 20 intoxicate a whole army
with confidence.
There are two patriotisms. One
consists OF hating the countries of
other peoples, the other in loving ones
own. Frances patriotism is of the lat
ter sort. The victory OF France is 60

ing the log foundation. In the course
OF the night officers and men worked
together recovering the bombproof
with earth, those who had no in
trenching tools digging the earth with
their hands. The air pressure was so
great that each time a direct hit was
made every light in the bombproof was
oXtinguished. The whole position Is
equipped also with "fox holes which
are proof against the heaviest artillery
fire.
Men Stand Death Watch.
During artillery bombardments one
lookout is stationed by the commander
at each section of a trench, and he is
relieved every fifteen minutes.
at cannot be required that any man
shall stand awaiting death for more
than fifteen minutes at stretch, sald
the trench officer.
Here. as everywhere, the corre-
spondent found that the spirit OF the
troops left nothing 10 be desired. Every
one was confident that the Germans al
ready had conquered, and that II was
only necessary TO wait until the En-
tcnte Allies learned OF the imposslbillty
of breaking the German lines.
The correspondent was surprised IN

following night revealed the body OF
the third man, who had been mortally
wounded. IL was noticed that he had
buried something in the ground in the
interval before his death. When the
object was uncovered il proved to be a
gas mask of new pattern. The strict
est orders had been given that TINS
mask should not be permitted TO get
INTO the hands of the Russians, their
masks at the time being Of an inferior

The Russians maintain fairly con-

spondent saw did no damage. The Ger

On the western front, as we'll as in

With the Right Wing Of Field Mar
shal Won Hndenburg's Army, July q
(by courier to Berlin. July 30).-"Here
il the place where the Russians re-
ported during their March offensive
that they had taken our first three
lines" said the German captain with
whom the Associated Press correspond
ent had just inspected the Teuton front
trenches southwark of Narocz Lake.
Their statement, though accurate, was
misleading, for these three lines Of
trenches composed our first line of de-
fence"
The captains statement, as the cor
respondent had the fullest opportunity
to observe, was true. In his trip to the
front, which covered altogether many
scores Of miles of trenches, the OBJ
server never before had seen positions
which appeared to be so strong or so
nearly impregnable.
A terrible commentary on the Rus
sian losses here during the March Of
fensive was afforded by a remark Of
the officer at certain point in the
trenches where the stencil led the cor
respondent TO ask whether bodies were
still lying about unburied. He replied:
"No, but the victims of she'll ire are
90 shredded that it is impossible to
cover all the scraps Of flesh when
building the trenches"
Russians Took Trenches.
The positions referred TO were tenn
porarily captured by the Russians in
March, after a German battalion which
had been withstanding the attacks of
some 1000 men had been reduced to 200
survivors, and the commander decided
TO withdraw them when the last of
their four machine guns jammed.
The Germans retook the position on
April 26, and two days later they ad-
vanced their line some 200 yards. where
il is still held by them. The importance
of a breach for the Russians here
comes from the TACT that tnls IS the
main route to Wilma. The last attack OF
any consequence was made July 6. II
failed, like its predecessor, with heavy
losses for the Russians.
The German bombproofs demonstrat-
ed during the last drum fire their
ability TO withstand direct hits from
even 11-inch guns. One bombproof in
particular was hit scores Of times, and
