[Continued fro|n First Pago.] cuss the (juestion informally and to learn what was the view of tile United States. Commamtcr Defended In defending the action of Comman der Thierichsen. the ambassador con tended that when the officer left Tsing Tau at the outbreak of the war last August, he had nothing to follow but the Declaration of London in de ciding what to do with vessels lie might seize. For that reason the am bassador argued he had a right to sink the Frye, as its cargo of wheat was consigned "to order" and destined to a fortified port of the enemy. So long as there was no port into which ho could take Ills prize he had a right, the ambassador contended, to destrov not only the cargo but the vessel it self. Furthermore, the ambassador ar gued that the commander of the Prinz Eltel. when he sank the Frye. did not know that a German prize court on Augut 3 had held that the mere fact that a merchant ship was bound for an enemy's port was not sufficient proof that her cargo was destined for the enemy. Two Members of Frye's Crew Are Held on Eitel j Newport Xews. Va., March 23. Washington officials have been asked by the customs authorities here to con sider the case of two of the crew of the Frye, who were on the Prinz Eltel. It has developed that the two men first were said to have enlisted In the German navy, have been detained by order of .Commander Theirielisen on the ground that they were German citizens and still subject to service un der German arms. Collector Hamil j ton said the matter had been report ed and that he was awaiting instruc i tions. The men detained are Charles i I'Vank and Robert Rogge. Captain Kiehne, of the Frye. told officials here jhe did not believe they were natural ized American citizens and that they f had not protested to him when de tained. Notwithstanding that, it was ; said, reppreseniations had been made in their behalf by American citizens. Further word that Hritisli cruisers jare lurking off the Virginia Capes was j brought here to-dav by the crew of the British steamer Anglo Patagonlan from | England, which lias arrived here for I horses. They declared that five war- | ships had been spoken within varying •distances of the coast as they ap | proached. CAPTAIN' KIKHNK MARKS lIIS REPORT IN WASHINGTON" By Associated Press | Washington. March 13.—The full l story of how the American sailing ship .William P. Frye was sunk in the South ' Atlantic with her cargo of wheat by the German commerce raider Prinz Eitel Friedrich, was officially laid be fore the American government to-day jby the Frye's commander. Captain i Kiehne. With Captain Kiehne's for- Imal statement, beftre State Pepart : ment officials, the United States will I decide upon its course, which probably I will be a demand for an exppression of regret from Germany and payment for l the loss of the ship and cargo. SUCCESS OF ALLIES' WARSHIPS OVERRATED [Continued from First Page.] j pleted military preparations "for any I eventuality." (•crmaii Efforts Fail The British army, to which has been assigned the task of leading the pres ent attack on the western battlefront. is still attempting to push forward, and thus far German efforts to drive it back apparently have failed. To-day's offi cial report from Berlin says that an effort to recapture Xeuve Chapelle made progress for a time but was abandoned later when the Germans encountered superior forces of Brit ish. The correspondent of a Paris newspaper telegraphs that the British artillery fire was so accurate that the Germans moved tlieir headquarters from Lille. The German war office states that the new attack in Northern Poland has thus far been successful and that the Russians have been compelled to fall back beyond the Bobr river. A. P. Correspondent Sees British Shells Fall Wide By Associated Press Dardanelles, Sunday, March 7, via Constantinople. March 8, Berlin, March 9. and London, March 13, 11.25 a. m.—The lire to-day of the British ships upon the Dardanelles forts was scattered and virtually without effect. From the point of vantage occupied by the Associated Press correspondent on shore, British shells could be seen fall ing wide of the mark. During the early afternoon of to day, March 7, the Turkish fire forced a British battleship in the gulf of Saros to retreat. The bombardment to-day of the Turkish positions on the straits led to no more results than did the fire of yesterday. At about twenty minutes past nine in the morning four British vessels of the pre-dreadnought type had taken up positions at a point off Dardanelles, on the Asiatic side. Their fire, observed from shore, was very scattered and as usual in the last three days it was without effect. Paris Statement Differs From Previous Claims Paris, March 12, 11.30 p. m.—Oper ations of French and British warships against the fortifications at the en trance to the Dardanelles and in the first mine field on March 10 and II are described in an official state ment issued to-night by the Ministry of Marine. The communication says: "During the day of the 10th in bad weather two British warship shelled two forts at Bulair, while two other British battleships bombarded the light batteries which command the bay of Morta at the entrance to the Dardanelles. "During the night of the 10th and 11th mine sweepers entered the straits under cover of the guns of a battleship and p. cruiser and succeeded in operating in the first mining field notwithstanding a hot fire from the guns of the defenses. "French division resumed on the 11th operations begun the day before against the fortifications of Bulair and the light batteries above the Bay of Morta."

In Memoriiun of Prof. Steele The other educator on the program was Dr. J. G. Carter Troop, of the Universities of Chicago and Toronto, who talked about "The Development of the Novel." The speaker traced in an able manner the cycles and the periods through which the writings of the earlier writers had gone until the production of "Pamela" in 1740 by Samuel Uichardson, who was the father of the novel. At the close of the morning session Dr. Downes spoke words of regret con cerning the death of Professor Steele. At the afternoon meeting Dr. Schaeffer took as his subject "Moral Training." while Dr. Troop discussed "Macbeth."

Kndorse Suffrage Dr. Schaeffer unqualifiedly endorsed woman suffrage during his lecture. "When the opportunity comes to vote on woman suffrage in Pennsyl vania." he said, "I will embrace it. I have been in States where women have the vote and I want it in Pennsvlva nia."
