Germany Expected
to Make Restitution
for Owners of Frye
Voluntary Offer for Remuneration
and Apology for Destroying
American Ship Would Be Pro
per Amends to Government ,
Washington, March 11 —Unless
the German government voluntar
ily offers to make restitution for
the destruction of the American
ship Frye, sunk by the converted
cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich in
the south Atlantic, and expresses
regret for the occurrence, strong
protest will be made by the Unit
ed States with a request for repa
ration.
No announcement concerning the
case will probably be made, it w T as
said by high officials, until after an
investigation of all the facts had
been completed. President Wil
son announced during the day that
a searching inquiry would be con
ducted.
Officials were unanimous in their
opinion—and it was shared large
ly by diplomats, tqo—that the
commander of the Prinz Eitel had
no right to send the Frye to the
bottom. It was considered proba
ble by officials that the German
government, after being apprised
of the facts would admit the er
ror of the naval commander and
agree to make the usual repara
tion. Some officials thought suf
ficient amends, after the payment
of damages, w r ould be the court
martialing of the German officer.
Captured Crews Discharged.
It was made clear at the state
department that whatever action
would be taken as the result of
the sinking of the Frye would be
entirely disassociated from ques
tions arising out of the entry into
an American port of the Prinz Ei
tel desiring time for repairs. The
vessel could, therefore, depart,
leaving the question raised bj the
destruction of the American ship
to be settled through diplomatic
channels.
Capt. Boy-Ed, naval attache of
German embassy, it was under
stood here, has gone to Newport
News from New York, to confer
with the captain of the Prinz Ei
tel, and obtain a sworn statement
of the facts for the German gov
ernment.
Capt. Kisline of the Frye has
been asked to keep the members
of his crew together, so that all
the testimony necessary for diplo
matic correspondence may be
gathered. The captain probably
will eoiue to Washington Satur
day to confer with treasury and
state deparment and give a per
sonal statement of the circum
stances surrounding the sinking
of his ship.
Maritime Rules Violated.
Examination of the precedents
in international law revealed to
state department officials that ir
respective of the provisions of the
Declaration of London, the status
of which is uncertain because it
was not generally ratified, the gen
eral rules of maritime practice
have prohibited the destruction of
a neutral vessel under the circum
stances in which the Frye was
found in the south Atlantic by the
Prinz Eitel.
Many arguments have been
urged from time to time against
the destruction of neutral vessels,
and when in doubt American na
val commanders have been cau
tioned always to dismiss the ves
sel. Before destruction in any
ease the crew, passengers and pa
pers must be taken from the neu
tral vessel on board the belligerent

ANOTHER NOTE
FOR CARRANZA
jy'
Importance of Keeping Railroads
Open Emphasized in Message
Washington, March 11—Anoth
er note was sent by the United
States government today by Gen.
Carranza in reply to his response
last night to the notice that Car
ranza and Obregon would be held
personally responsible for the safe
ty of Americans and other for
eigners in Mexico City. It is un
derstood to have emphasized the
importance of keeping railway
communication between the capi
tal and Vera Cruz open.
The second communication ;
dispatched as quickly after the
receipt of Carranza's reply that
the impression prevailed in diplo
matic quarters that the United
states had determined in advance
to make representations for thi
unrestricted passage of Americans
and other foreigners from Mexic
City to Vera Cruz.

r NO TRACE OF MAN WHO
DISAPPEARRED NOV. 10
jp v-"' . . ;r
Believed That Aged Charles Reed
Died of Exposure.
No tfrace has been found of
[ Charles M. Reed, the aged Blairs
; ville man who wandered from the
. home of his daughter, Airs. Mabel
i R. Hill, of Mt. Jewett. Mr. Reed's
, wife died in Blairsville a little
more than four years ago, since
which time he has desided with
his daughter in Mt. Jewett. He
wandered from the home of Mrs.
; Hill November 10, and although
a thorough search for him has
i been made no trace of his where
> abouts has been found. Mrs. Hill
: says she still has hopes that her
; father is living and well, and that
. he will be found.
At the time of Mr. Reed's disap
pearance he carried a valuable
? gold watch and it was feared for a
i time that her had been a victim of
foul play. The weather was ex
: tremely cold and it is thought that
unless he secured shelter shortly
i after leaving his daughter's home,
death would result from exposure
to the bitter cold weather experi
enced at that time.

AFTER DEATH OF WIFE
Staived Himself Fol
lowing Her Demise.
Clyiner, March 11—A pathetic
jase of the loyal devotion of an
aged couple came to light recently
i 111 the death of James White, Sr..
! SO years old, which occurred at
the home of his daughter, Mrs.
1 Thomas Dixon, of C lymer. Mr. and
! Mrs. White had been living with

were deeply devoted to each other
j and when Mrs. White died about
six weeks ago her husband was
! heart-broken. He declared that he
1 had no further interest in life and
refused to eat. He declined rap
idly from the time of his wife's
death and followed her to the
great beyond a month later, after
having literally starved himself
as a result his intense grief. The
j body of the aged man was taken
to Glen Ritchie, Clearfield county,
and interred beside that of his de
voted wife.
