German Cruiser
in U. S. Harbor.
Commerce Raider Sank American
Ship With Grain Cargo After Taking
Captain and Crew Off.
The German auxiliary cruiser Prinz
Eitel Friedrich, another of the elusive
German sea rovers, which have been
destroying commerce of the allies on
the seven seas, slipped into port at
Newport News, Va., presumably elud-
ing the British and French cruisers
along the coast.
She is in need of repairs, coal and
provisions for her crew, and with over
300 prisoners, taken from prizes.
The captain of the American sail-
ing ship William P. Frye, his wife and
the members of the crew are aboard
the Eitel Friedrich.
Dr. Knoneck, surgeon of the Ger-
man cruiser, told W. R. Hamilton,
customs collector at Norfolk, that the
Frye was sunk in the South Atlantic
on Jan. 27, after the Eitel had taken
off Captain Kiehne and all others on
board.
As nearly as can be learned, the
Frye was sunk because she was al-
leged to have been carrying contra-
band of war. The collector has made a
report to Washington on the subject.
The surgeon called on Collector
Hamilton as the representative of
Captain Thierichens. It is said that he
told the collector that the chief rea-
son for the cruiser’s coming to port
was to land those taken from the
ships sent to the bottom by the cruis-
er. He is reported to have stated that
the cruiser had enough fuel and pro-
visions to last two months.
Within an hour after the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich had arrived in Hamp-
ton Roads a request was made to the |
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock company for information wheth-
er the concern could at once hegin
work on repairs. The shipbuilding
company immediately communicated
the request to the navy department
at Washington and asked whether the
United States would have any objec-
tions. |
SURPRISE AT FRYE’S FATE
Had Non-Contraband Cargo Aboard
and Sinking Called Unjustified.
The news of the sinking of the
American ship William P. Frye in the !
South Atlantic on Jan. 27 by the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich caused a sensa-'
tion in official and diplomatic circles
in Washington.
Without having a full report and
some consideration of the subject, of-
ficials were reserving their comment.
It is a well-established principle of in-
ternational = law, however, that the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich had no right to
destroy the Frye if she were carrying
a-- nou-contraband . cargo, - such - as
wheat, with which she sailed from
Seattle.
If she were carrying contraband of
war the Eitel had a right to seize her
and probably, under certain circum-
stances, the law of military necessity
warrants the destruction of such a
ship and compels reparation to the
owners.
The Frye carried a policy for $11,
6550 on her hull with the government
war risk insurance bureau in addition
to other insurance written by private
companies. The figures at the govern-
ment bureau give the value of the
Frye at about $90,000.
The disposition of any prisoners of
war the German ship may have on
board will raise another question. It
is possible that they may be paroled.
American officials were awaiting offi-
cial information before announcing
any action.
ALLIES WRECK 30 GUNS
Turkish Cannon on Motor Trucks on
Dardanelles Disabled.
A London Central News agency dis-
patch from Athens says that dur-
ing the bombardment of the Darda-
nelles on Monday thirty guns mount-
ed on motor trucks were destroyed by
the fire of the warships.
A dispatch from Rome says that a
steamer arriving at an Italian port
reports having met twenty-two French
transports near the Island of Malta,
heading toward the Dardanelles.
Troops landed by the allies to at-
tack the Dardanelles forts have been
driven back to their ships by the
Turks after suffering heavy losses,
according to Constantinople dispatch-
es received by the official German
news agency.
The German press asserts that the
British admiralty’s announcement of
success in the Dardanelles operations
are untrue and are designed to in
fluence the Balkan countries in favor
of teh allies.
British Air Scout Killed.
Flight Sub-Lieutenant Shepherd, of
the British Royal Navy, fell into (the
sea with an aeroplane while scoutin
off Osborne. He was killed. ,
British Bombs on Civilians.
Three Belgian civilians were killed
by English aviators, who threw bombs
upon Ostend, the war office in Berlin
announced.
Italian Fleet at Sea.
According to the Geneva Tribune
an Italian squadron, consisting of twa
battleships and several cruisers, has
put to sea, and is probably going ta
the Dardanelles. It says this infor
mation has come from a reliable
source in Vienna.

MEXICAN CAPITAL ASKS U. S. FOR
FOOD.
Wilson Fears Outbreaks of Mobs
Made Desperate by Hunger and
Urges Americans to Leave.
The Mexican Red Cross appealed to |
the American Red Cross, through
Secretary of State Bryan, for food for
the starving populace in Mexico City.
The appeal of the Mexican society
stated that the famine in the Mexican
capital was growing worse.
Miss Mabel T. Boardman, of the
American Red Cross, consulted with
Secretary ‘Bryan and Counsellor Lan-
sing, of the state department, in re-
gard to the Mexican relief. It was de-
cided to await further
steps.
The advisability of inviting some
other American countries, especially
Argentina, Brizil and Chile, to join
the United States in the Mexican re-
lief work, was suggested.
The greatest fear of government of-
ficials, as stated by President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan, is of otubreaks
of mobs driven desperate by hunger,
and it is to escape these consequences
that the state department is trying to
' get out all of the Americans still in
Mexico City who desire to leave the
capital.
There was a-tendency on the part
of the officials generally, however, to
believe that the change in control of-
Mexico City would serve to improve
the situation there. !
Plans have been formulated, it is
understood, to urge Carranza to re-
open the railroad from Vera Cruz to
Mexico City, which recently has been
used only for military purposes, so
that Americans can take ships for the
United States.
Gibbons Confers on Mexico.
Cardinal Gibbons has been given
a personal report on the conditions
in Mexico as regards the Catholic
church by Archbishop Mora y del Rio,
head of the church in the southern
republic, who recently came to New
Orleans from Vera Cruz.
The cardinal said that the arch-
bishop reported that all his clergy
had been imprisoned and that the sit-
i nation was deplorable. Cardinal Gib-
bons said he was in correspondence
with Presi‘ent Wilson and Secretary
Bryan over the situation.
BOTTLE LAW REPEALER LOST
Delaware Senate Strikes Other Liquor

dar a group of liquor and temperance
bills. ‘One included a ‘bill granting spe-
cial licenses to clubs in New Castle
county when holding picnics. :
Mr. Downward withdrew his bill,
which would have increased license
fees slightly in that county.

THE AERIAL BATTLESHIPS OF THE FUTURE.—
The difficulty of properly arming and protecting
aircraft lies in the fact that we cannot yet obtain
sufficiently powerful engines—even though, in
the course of a few years, the engines have in-
creased in horse power from about fifty to two
hundred. But when we look ahead, and estimate
what may be possible with a power plant, not of
hundreds of horse power but of thousands, then
we can imagine a perfected war machine of the
future—a huge armored craft, that carries a crew
of hundreds of men, and that is equipped with
formidable guns and aerial torpedo and bomb-
dropping tubes. Such a vessel will be able to
reef its wing surface when traveling at high
speed, and will rush through the air at a speed of
several hundred miles an hour.
But even against such metal-built monsters of
the air, flying at their amazing speeds, man will
pit his ingenuity. It is clear that he cannot fight
them from the earth; he must fight them
high in their own element. So in the future, if
wars continue, we may have fearful struggles of
the air—not small and isolated combats, such as
this campaign has shown us, but battles desper-
ately waged, with death and destruction raining
from the clouds. There are those, however, who
argue that such a form of war, when pushed to
its ruthless limit, will prove so ghastly that hu-
manity will revolt, and that the sciencé that rey-
olutionizes war will also end it.—Claude Gra-
hame-White, on “Aircraft in War,” in the
