ONLY 81-LINGL rArrili BET WE <K\\ YORK AM'- H VOLUME J T 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 £ hi P* ... - No li CLAIM KAISER MAY END UNDERSEA WAR London, March 12, 3:55 a. in.— A dispatch to the Daily Express from The Hague says: "A secret report has been sent from Cuxhaven to the admiralty at Berlin that 12 submarines have failed to report at their base, 8 of them being among Germany's newest boats.

Russia Buys Heavily Of Rails and Wire An order for 40,000 tons of steel rails of light weight has been plac-; ed by the Russian government j with American rail mills, a por tion of which has been placed with the Carnegie Steel Company and the Cambria Steel Company.

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.

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.
