CLAIMS GERMANS
VIOLATED ALL LAWS
No Foundation For Charge
And Should Have Been
Held As Prisoner of
War

LONDON, July %, 5:35 p. m.-News
of the execution of Captain Fryatt OF
the British steamer Brussels, caused a
painful impression at the British for
eigu office. Under the instructions oil
Viscount Grey, the foreign Secretary
note was dispatched Immediately, tc
the American embassy requesting that
James ". Gerard, the American am
bassador at Berlin, procure complete
details of the affair.
The first intimation Of the trial OF
Captain Fryatt was called to the at
tention of the foreign office by press
reports on July 1S to the effect that
be was to be tried as the result OF IND
ing on hih a watch containing an IN
scription reciting his efforts 10 ram a
German submarine.
From inquiries made Of the owners
Of the steamship WreXham, which Cap
tain .Fryatt commanded when: the al
legged incident took place, the foreign
office learned the Captain had wltf
him neither a watch nor letter to the
effect that he had attempted to ram
a submarine with him when he was
captured. Therefore, officials here
state, the charge must have been basec
on press reports. :,
When the news that Captain tryat'
was TO be tried was received the Tor
eign office Immediately sent note te
the American ambassador Walter H
Page, requesting that American diplo
matte representatives, take all neces
calling attention to the fact that the
WreXhams act in steering toward the
submarine and forcing her to dive was
oesent;allI- defen cive and DrpCiSelV the
same as If she had used the defensive
armament which the United States anc
Great Britain hold TO be an undouotec
right.
No Reply Received
No reply was received from Ambas
sador Gerard but the foreign office Is
convinced he acted with his usua
promptitude. Therefore It IS the theory
that the trial and execution of Captain
Fryatt was hurried even more than II
the case of Miss Edith Cavill.
Besides the original inquiry, the

As we have remarked before you get dra-

Interest. People are not interested In a

again to be careful Of your inserts. Less

The struggle to hold the story together

to make you forget the Importance Of the
substltle. Each one should be given minute
attention, particularly in order that Il can

tended. II you use poetry use good poetry.
Poor poetry is not poetry at all and only

you will be in quandary how to express
your meaning clearly. a.
Try using your last sentence first and
seeAif II doesn't help you. IL stands to
reason that the sentences must be related
TO each other and many times the diff
nculty lies in getting the cart before the
horse.
Take such a subtitle as this: II want to
clean up such gambling dens, They are
the cause of the downfall Of men like you
who have too much money TO spend"
The last sentence is awkward You can
not say: "They are the downfall of men
like you, ETC." because they" refers TO
gambling dens. Change the sentences
about Men like you are ruined In such
gambling dens. want to destroy them"
The examples are not of the best. Like
most things good examples are not at hand
just when they are wanted. But II illus
trates the point and IL you write to any
great extent you will find that there are
many opportunities for you to utilize this
suggestion. tFr}

Obviously this is too much for sub

we will suppose that It was necessary to
put 1t all over in q subtitle or letter.
We could cut the title down somewhat,
but II we have letter written we can in-
dlcate how much and yet use few words, as
follows: 49, too sick TO write before,

would vignette the letter when II was
