NOTE ON FRYATT
| CASE PUBLISHED
England Tells United States
That Germany Has VIC
lated All Rules

London, July 30-The foreign office
has published the communication it
sent to the American ambassador, WAL
ter H. Page, concerning the case of
Captain Fryatt.
The communication states:
His majesty's government finds it
difficult to believe master of a mer-
chant vessel, who, after German sub
marines had adopted the practice OF
sinking merchant vessels without
warning and without regard for the
lives of passengers or crew, took the
step which appeared to afford the only
chance of saving of his vessel, but the
lives of all on board, can be shot de-
ton.
If the German government has in
fact perpetrated such a crime in the
case of a British subject held prisoner
by them, it is evident that a most Sc
rious condition Of affairs has arisen.
"The foreign secretary, therefore, is
obliged, on behalf of the government,

be made by the United States embassy
in Berlin as to whether the report OF
the shooting of Captain Fryatt is true,
in order that the British government
may have, without delay, full and
undoubted account of the facts before
them.

The communication adds that AM
bassador Page sent to Foreign Min
lister Grey in answer to his notes of
July IS and 20 the following para.
phrase of telegram from Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin:
"July 27.-Referring to your tele-
grams, I brought the case Of Fryatt

France Sends Protest to

Inhuman Treatment of

| Paris, July 3o.-France has sent an
official note to neutral powers protesting
against the action of the German authori-
ties towards the population in the French
departments occupied by Teuton forces.
The note says: "a woman who was
removed from B, Ardennes, affrms that
her husband was shot for refusing to
obey an order to requisition supplies ana
that she herself was imprisoned for two
days.

The note cites cases of men 10 to So
years of age made to work; of wcmen
forced to labor under the fire of French
troops, and Ct others compelled to dig
trenches. 1t also makes charge, based
on the testimony of a witness, tnau In
October, 1914, the Germans took from the
department of Pas de Calais a party
of inhabitants, that they used them as
shields against the fire of the French,
and that 40 were thus killed.

which they are respectively accredited a
note reading as follows:
II ask you to call the attention Of the
government to which you are accredited
to give treatment which the populations of
Lille, Ronbaix and Tourcoing have been
subjected by the German authorities.
1.-THE French government in the pres
ence of revealed facts invokes the appli-

Quoting land warfare, to the END that
Germany be held responsible for viola

dends make good some of the business
loss. The stockholders went without their
dividends, the skilled artisans received
their customary wages. Mr.. Ream used
to say. however, that when good times
came the stockholders would receive rea-
sonable reward for their patience and for
the accomplishing attitude of most OF
them on account of the suspension of the
dividends. Mr.. Ream did not live long
enough to see his predictions fulfilled
While wages have been twice increased,
the stockholders now receive an extra
dividend of L per cent, and the chances
are that should good times continue this
will not be the last extra dividend they
will receive.
On the whole, the report of the Steel
corporation for the past three months is
regarded as furnishing not only the best
of evidence of the present day prosper
ity of the United States, but also as
giving fair assurance that when the Eu-
ropean war is ended a good measure OF
that prosperity will be maintained for
some years.

Warned and protected in this matter, the

hereby warned and cautioned against
buying Tanlac from any firms excepting
the duly authorized agents of the Cooper

THE INDEPENDENT COMPANIES

The department of justice at Washing
ton is determined that the supreme
court shall hear and pass upon its APP
plication for the dissolution of the United
States Steel corporation in spite of the
fact that the lower court has given judg-
nent in favor of the corporation and it
is probable that the record made in the
year 1916 may be brought to the atten-
ton of the supreme court for purpose of
showing that there has been no unreason-
able restriction of trade no unfair com
petition and no attempt on the part of
the more powerful corporation to drive
any of the independents out of business.
Charles NJ. Schwab and Judge Gary are
in perfect agreement in saying that there
| is business enough for ALL and there is
| likely to be continued demand for iron
and steel products sufficient to keep the
well managed industry actively employed
for some years.

Fatal Accident.

A distressing accident that resulted
in the death of Lois, the seven-year-
old daughter, Of Mr.. and Mrs. Amos
Howard of Minneapolis, occurred last
Friday afternoon at school play
ground in that city. Lois and three
other small girls were lettering on a
balanced plank, provided for that pur-
pose in the playground, when the girl
occupying the same end of the plank
as Lois jumped off to pick up her
handkerchief. The balance was de-
stroyed, and the weight of the two
girls brought their end down with
considerable force. Lois was precipi-
tated against an iron brace in the GEN.
ter of the teeter outfit, crushing her
skull and rendering her unconscious.
Death followed the next day.
The father of the unfortunate little
girl is well known in Princeton, being
a brother of Alfonso and Willard
Howard of this village. Mr.. and Mrs.
Willard Howard left for Minneapolis
