MATTER OF INDEMNITY IS TAKEN
UP IN NOTE TO AMBAS
SADOR GERARD,
WASHINGTON, June 10. Germany
insists that the matter of Indemnity
and other questions growing out of
the sinking of the American ship Wil
liam P. Frye, by the converted crui
ser Eltel Frederich, should be settled
by a prize court. This was clearly
stated In a note from the foreign of
fice to Ambassador Gerard which!
was received at the state department.
Germany declares It cannot admit
that the destruction of the vessel and
Its cargo of wheat constitutes a vio
lation of the treaty of 190.
It was made evident that the Im
perial government expects to pay an
Indemnity for the loss of the ship
and cargo, but It was declared th
questions of the amount of the In
demnity nnd to whom It should be
paid, whether the cargo was liable to
confiscation, and whether the
structlon of the sh'p was legal,
de-(
are i
of such a nature that a decision of a
prize court must be made before nc
Hon can be taken by Germany.

WASHINGTON, June 19. Presi
dent Wilson will rest his case, both
with Germany and in the crisis
brought about by the resignation of
Bryan, on the rejoinder expected to
be delivered at Berlin this afternoon.
The president belisves the latest note
will Justify the position taken by the
United States In Insisting that Amer
ican rights upon the seas be recog
nized and respected. Consequently
there will be no anBwer to Bryan's
statement giving reasons for his re
tirement from the cabinet.
It Is understood the president's po
sition was that the killing of Ameri
can citizens upon the Las I tan la was
not what caused the dispatch of the
note of protest on May 13, but rather
the method which , caused their
deaths.

I considered, during the recent discus-
eions of the German situation with
the cabinet, that the German replies
had not been responsive. The rejoln

says so.
It was learned today that after act
I Ir.g Secretary Lansing signed the re

was said on the principle that the
United States at this stage in its his

of Its rights; that the American peo

on the high seas and could not sacri

and growth to a position of command
as a world power.
i Hich officials generally held tho
