WASHIXGTQI. April 5.- O behalf
of the owners of the American ship
William P. Frye sunk by the Prinz
Eitei Friedricht the United States Gov
ernment ia: a note made public today
has asked Germany- to- pay an inden
nlty of $228,039.54,. which represents
the cost, of the vessel, the freight
charges fosr it cargo- and damages re
suiting iranr beinsr deprived of the use
of the shin.
Inasmuch as the cargo became Brit
iab-o-wned while en route no claim for
damages was presented; by the previou
American shippers. Whether the
freight eharges asked by the owners of
the Frye will, be paid may have to be
determined after the Germaa prize
court decides whether the- consignment
ot wheat to- a private firm in England
made It free from, seizure. The fcrer
man contention to. connection with the
Wilhelmraa case has been that such
shipments are not liable to seizure, and
officials here do: not expect any differ-

CHICAGO, April 6. Western railroads
presented more testimony at the Inter

day to support their proposed increase
in freight rates on soft coal shipped be

while coal constituted a large part of

If recommendations of Commissioner

of the large buffalo now quartered at
Washington Park aoo. In exchange for
the present Spokane will give Port
land eome of the surplus animals In
the Spokane zoo. JuM what will be
taken has not been decided.
The Washington Park, zoo has nine
buffalo. SDOkane has none. - It is said
by Commissioner Brewster that Port
land easily can spare one male and
me female front the herd. The ani
mals will be rounded up and shipped
ae soon as the Council fives its sanc
st rue tad to present a copy of the Amer
ican note to Great Britain to the French
Foreign Office, with the statement that.
although the French Admiralty decree
had not been officially received in Wash
ington, it was- understood here to be
identical with the British Order-in-
Ceunetl and! th American Govennment,
: therefore, made similar reply.
The text of the note to Great Britain
follows:
Washington, March Sft, 19-15.
"You are Instructed to- deliver the
following ta His Majesty's government
in reply to- year- No 1796 and 1T9S
of March 15: The Uovernmcnt of the
United! States ha given careful con
sideration of the snbject treated in
the British: notee of March: It and 15.
and to the British Order in Council of
the La t ten date.
Subject ef Grave Import.
"These communications contain mat
ters of grave importance to neutral
nations. They apnear to menace- their
rights of trade and intercourse not
only with belligerents, but also with
one another. They call foe frani& com
ment in order that misunderstandings
may be avoided. The Government of
the United States deems Its duty,
therefore-, speaking tn the slncerest
spirit of friendship, to make Ua oiwi
view an position with regard to the
situation unmistakably. clear.
The order in council of the loth
of March would- constitute, were its
provisioaa. to be actually carried Into
effect as they stand, a practical ' as
sertion ef unlimited belligerent rights
over neutral commerce withtn the
whole rTttropeact area, and an. almost
unqualrncd denial ef the sovereign
rights ef the. nations now at peace.
Qaeatloa On af Seveeeiaoity.
This evernment takes it for granted
that there can be n question what
those rights are. A nation's sovereignty
over it3 own ships and citizens under
it., own flag on the high seas In time
of peace is, of course., unlimited : ana
that sovereignty suffers no diminution
time of war. er.cept insofar as tne
practice and consent ef civilized na
tions has limited it by the recognition
of certain new cleaj-ly determined
rights, which it ia conceded may be
exercised by nations which are ax war.
belUa-erent aatton has been- con
ceded the right of visit and search and
the right of capture ana cenderaaattont
f, upon examination, a neutral ves
sel is found to be engaged, in. un
neutral service or to be carrying con
traband of war intended for the
enemy a gove-snmeat or armed torces.
It has been conceded the right to -establish
and maintain a - blockade, of
an enemy s ports ana coasts ancE to
capture and condemn any vessel taken
n trytnsr to. break the B4ockal. It ia
even, conceded; the right to detain anJ
take to its own ports for judicial ex
amination, all vessels which it sus
pects for substantial reasons to- be en
gaged in unneutral or contraband serv
ice and detain tnem if the suspicion
be sustained.. But such rights, long
clearly denned both la doctrlno and
practk-e. have hitherto- been heW
the onSy permissible exceptions t the
principle of universal equality of
sovereignty tn war.
Treaties and Opinions Cited.
It Is confidently assumed that His
Majesty's government will not deny
that It Is a rule to sanction, by gen
eral practice, that even though a
blockade should exist and the doctrine
f contraband as to unblockaded terr
itory be rigidly enforced, innocent
shipments may be freely- transported
to and from the United States through
eutral countries to belligerent terri
tory without being subject to. tha
penalties of contraband traffic or
breach of blockade, much less to de
tention, requisition or confiscation.
Moreover, the rulea of the declara
tion. of Paris of 1866 among them
that free ships makes free goods-
will hardly at this day be dispute i by
the signatories of that solemn agreement."
"Hie Majesty's government, like the
Government of the United States, has
often and explicitly hetd that these
rights represent the best usage of war-
faro in the dealings of belligerents with
eutrals at sea. In this connection I
desire to direct attention to the opinion
of the Chief Justice of the United States
in the case of the Pcterhof. which arose
out of the Civil War, and to the fact
that that opinion was unanimously sus
tained in the award ef the arbitration
commission of 1871. to which the case
was presented at the request of Great
Britain. . . .
Right Is No Adatltted.
"From that lime to the Declaration
of Ixindon of 1909, adopted with modi
fications by the Order-in-Council of the
23d of October last, these righta have
not been seriously questioned by the
British government. And no claim on
the part of Great Britain ot any justifi
cation for interfering with these clear
rights of the United. States and its citi
zens as neutrals could he admitted.
"To admit it would be t assume an
attitude of unneutrality toward the
present enemies of Great Britain, which
would be obviously inconsistent with
the solemn obligations of this Govern
ment in- the present circumstances; and
for Great Britain to make such a claim
would be for her to abandon and set at
naught the principles for which she has
consistently and earnestly contended in
other times and circumtsancea.
"The note of His Majesty's principal
secretary of state for foreign affairs.
which accompanies the order-in-ceancil
and which bears the same date, notifies
the Government of the United States
of the establishment of a blockade
which is defined by the terms of the
order-in-council to include all the
coasts and porta ef Germany and every
port of possible accesa t- enemy ter
ritory. But the novel an! quite un
precedented feature of that blockade, if
we are to assume It to be properly so de
fined, is that It embraces many neutral
ports and coasts, bars Access to cera
and subjects all neutral f-hips seeking
to approach them to the same suspi
cion that would attach to them were
they bound for the ports of the enemies
of Great Britain and tj unusual risks
and penalties.
Iavaatoa ef Rights Cbarired.
"It is manifest that such limitations,
risks and liabilities placed upon the
ships of a neutral power en the high
seas, beyond the right of visit and
search, and the right to prevent the
shipment of contraband - already re
ferred to, are a, distills t, invasion, ef the
wmwm- ris-hte ef the nstton. whose
ships, trade or commerce is interfered
with.
The, Government of the United
States is of course not ee-llvtous to the
great changes which have eccuxred in
conditions and means of naval warfare
since the rales hitherto governing legal
blockadaa were formulated. It might
be ready te admit that the old form of
'close blockade.- with its cordon of
ships in the immediate offing of the
blockaded ports is bo . longer- practicable-
fa face of an eaemy possessing
the means and opportunity to make an
effective defense by the use of sub
marines, mines and air craft; but it can
hardly be maintained that whatever
form of effective blockade may be
made use of, it is impossible to con
form at least to the spirit and prin
ciples of the established rules of war.
Adatrimlon. ef Legal Carcoea Asked.
"If the necessities of the case should
seem to render It imperative that the
cordon of blockading vessels be ex
tended! aerees the approaches to any
neighboring neutral port or country,
it would seem clear that it would be
easily practicable to comply with tha
well recognised and reasonable prohi
bition of internationar law against the
blockading -ot neutral ports by accord
ing free admission and exit to alt law
ful trafftc with neutral porta through,
the blockading cordon. This traffic
would, of course, include all Eastward
bound traffic to tha neutral country
except contraband in transit to the
enemy.
"Such procedure need, not eonfllct ia
any respect with the rights of the
belligerent maiatalnins the blockade,
since the right would remain with the
blockading vessels to visit and search
all ships either entering or ieavfng the
neutral territory whieh they were la
fact, bat not of riht. investing.
"The Government ef the United
States notes that in- the order-in-council
His Mapjesty's government give aa
the reason for taking up the course of
action whleb they are aware Is without
precedent in modern warfare, the ne
cessity they conceive themselves to
have been placed under to retaliate
upon their enemies for measures of a
similar nature which the latter have
announced is their Intention to adopt
and which they have to- some extent
adopted; but the Government of the
United States recalling the principles
upon which His Majesty's government
hitherto have been scrupulous to act.
interprets this as merely a reason for
certain extraordinary activities on the
part of His Majesty s naval forces and
not as an excuse for or prelude to any
unlawful actio n.
Illegal Act Not Thought Wish,
If the course pursued by the present
enemies- ef Great Britain should prove
to be in fact tainted by illegality and
disregard of the principles of war
sanctioned by enlightened nations, it
rainot be supposed, and1 this Govern
ment does not for a moment suppose,
that His Majesty's government would
wish the same taint to attach to their
own actions or would cite such illegal
acts as la any sense or degree make
a Justification for similar practices on
their part insofar as they affect neu
tral rights.
"It is thus that the Government of
the" United States interrpets the lan
guage of the note of His Majesty's prin
cipal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs- which accompanies the copy of
the order-in-counctl which wts banded
t the Ambassador of the United States
by the government in London and by
him transmitted to Washington.
"This Government notes with grati
fi cation that "wide discretion is afford
edi to the prize court in dealing: with
the trade of neutrals tn such manner
as may in the circumstances be deemed
just, and that full provision is made te
facilitate claims by persons interested
in anv goods placed lir the custody of
the marshal of the prize court under
the order.' that 'the effect of the order-tn-eouncil
Is to confer certafn powers
upon the executive officers of His Maj
esty's government; and that The ex
tent to which these powers will be ac
tually- exercisee- ana the degree of se
verity with which the measures of
blockade authorized wilt be put into
operation, are matters which depend on
the administrative orders issued hy the
government, and the decisions of the
authorities especially charged with the
duty of dealing wtih Individual ships
andi cargoes according- lo the merits of
each ease.'
nupatrb Wins Gratitude. .
This Government farther notes with
equal satisfaction, the declaration of
the British government that the In
structions te be Issued by Hie Majesty's
government to the fleet and to the cus
toms officials and executive commit
tees concerned will impress upon them
the duty of acting with the utmost dis
patch consistent with the object in
view, and of showing in every case
such consideration for neutrals as may
be compatible with that object, which
is. isuccinctly stated, to establish a
blockade to prevent vessels from car
rying goods fox or coming from- Ger
many.
''In view of these assurances formal
given to this Government it is
cenfident that the extensive pewers
conferred by the order-in-council
en the executive officers of the
crown will he restricted by 'orders
issued by the government directing
the exercise of their discretionary pow
ers in such a-manner as to modify in
practical application those provisions
of the order-in-council which, if strict
ly enforced, would violate neutral
rights and interrupt legitimate trade.
Relying on the performance of these
voluntary assurances by His Majesty's
government, the United States takes it
for granted that the approach of Amer
ican merchantmen te neutral ports sit
uated upon the long line of coast af
fected by the order-in-council will not
be Interfered with when it Is known
that they do not carry goods which are
contraband of war or goods destined
to or proceeding from ports within the
belligerent territory affected.
Law Observance Kxpecte4
"The Government of the United
States assumes with the greatest con
fidence that His Majesty's government
thus will adjust their practice to the
recognised rules of international law,
because it is manifest that the British
government have adopted an extra
ordinary method of 'stopping, cargoes
destined for ' or coming from the
enemy's territory' which owing to the
existence - of unusual conditions in
modern warfare at sea. it will be dif
ficult to restrict to the limits which
have been heretofore required hy the
law f nations. Though the area of
operations is confined . to 'European
waters including the Medterranean; so
great an area of the high seas Is
covered and the cordon of ships is so
distant from the territory affected that
neutral vessels must necessarily pass
through the blockading force in order
to reach Important neutral ports which
Great Britain as a belligerent has not
the legal right to blockade and which,
therefore, it is presumed .she 'has no
intention ef claiming to blockade. The
Scandinavian and anish ports, for
example, are open to American trade
They are also free. so. far as the actual
enforcement ef the order-in-council is
concerned, to carry on trade with Ger
man Baltic ports, although it is an es
sential element of blockade that it bear
with equal severity upon all neutrals.
Meekade- la Exceeded.
"This government, therefore, infers
that the commanders of His Majesty's
ships of war, engaged in maintaining
the so-called blockade will be In
structed to avoid an enforcement of
the proposed measures of non-intercourse
in such a way as to impose re
strictions upon neutral trade more
burdensome than those which have been
regarded as inevitable when the ports
of a belligerent are actually block
aded hy the ships of its enemy.
"The possibilities of serious interrup
tlon of American trade under the order-
in-councll are so many, and the methods
proposed are so unusual and seem liable
to constitute so great an impediment
and embarrassment to neutral com
merce that the Government of the Unit
ed states, if the ordtr-ln-couneil is
