LONDON, April 16.-Because of the ele-

interest here.

that Capt. Frederick =. Raynham would
be able to start his flight at the same
time as Harry G. Hawker from st.

transatlantic race together all OF sport

The betting odds are heavily in favor

Along with the interest in the trans

LoNDoN, April l6.-Captain Persius.
one OF the ablest German writer's on
naval matters. has denounced the YER
dict of the German commission in the
case OF Capt Fryatt
The commission was appointed to in
vestigate the accusation that interna,
tional law had been violated in the treat
ment OF prisoners OF war. and after pro-
longed inquiry decided that the sentence
passed on Capt. Fryatt did not violate
International law. but expressed regret
that the sentence had been carried out so
hastily"
Persus says German newspapers have
taken little notice of this result, but
adds correctly that il will make a great
impression on allied and neutral coun-
tries because i. shows the present men,
tally of the German peoples differ in no
respect from that of the old Germany"
II was plain, he thinks, that there
must have been a fight between the old
obstinate Prussian miltarism and the
humane, sensible and politically awak-
ened members.
He says IL is the duty Of every honor
able man TO protest against the judg-
ment AS neither in the interest of human
ity nor OF the German people. ut may
seem unexceptionable to a Prussian law
yer. but to no other person." he says.
THE influence II will have upon the
Allies will not only prejudice the peace
negotiations but will woefully retard the
possibility Of restoring friendly rela-
tons"
