 "It is for that reason that am proud to be it's nominee and have the opportunity to lead it.

FRYATT AS VIOLATION OF
INTERNATIONAL LAW
Reprisals May Follow And Lead tt
Change in German Submarine
Warfare Policy

WASHINGTON, July 29. = Ger
many's execution of Captain Fryatt
for an alleged attempt to ram a sub
marine, is regarded in allied quarters
here as violation of international
law likely to result in prompt retail
iatory measures by Great Britain.
They contend that if a hostile sub
marine approached the Brussels it
was in effect an attack and Captain
Fryatt in making a counter attack by
attempting to ram, subjected himself
only to treatment as prisoner of
war in event of capture.
Reprisals by the allies, might be
followed by a change in the German
submarine policy which has been. sat

ships would not be attacked without
warning or without provision for
