CAPTAIN MAKES I A STATEMENT j NEWPORT NBWS. Va.. March 12.1 - "I can sav positively ?hat the Prlnsj Eithel Friedrich never will leave this port until the end of the European war." This decimation was made tonight to a representative "f the Associated Press by captain 11. 11. KJehne. mas ter ?)f the American sailing ship Wil liam P. Fryc, which the tienuan raider destroyed in the South At lantic ocean January 2n last. Captain KJehne hud ju.st conclud ed hi.; arduous work here since land ing on American soil to tell the story of his vessel's fate to the world last Wednesday. 11,. had hade farewell to Commander Thierichens. of the Gn nian cruiser, had paid off Iiis crew und was leaving for Washington to reveal the details of hi.; ship's de-, struotion directly to heads of the government. "Why do you make such a positive .statement?" the American captain was asked. Notwithstanding this the comman der of the Eithel Friedrich tonight reliera'ed his Insisting that it is his purpose t?> leave American waters as soon a? possible. Regarding the reasons for the sink ing by the German cruiser of the American ship Fryc. it was reported tonigiit that officers of the convert ed cruiser reached a decision ufter finding in the Frye's papers a record that ?he .ddp with its cargo of wheat was hound for "Queenstown.

"After February 20," said the cap tain, "the Germans, entirely changed their tactics. Up to that time, when ever a smoke smudg,. was sighted, there was a cry of "alarm, alarm.' Every man was ordered to the guns and the -ship sailed straight for the smoke. After the sinking of the Wlllerby, there was a change. "From then on the Fricrdrich ran from everything. On this last three night3 1 knew that the oilicera were getting the wireless from British cruisers. On the last two nights be fore passing into ihe Virginia capes the order to tbn crew was, 'Every body to tbe guiu; nobody to sleep.' On the last night two of the British cruisers were within ten miles of us." Captain KJehne said that several of the- German officers asked him 10 or 12 days ago if he know where they were going to land. "I told them I knew they were go ing to Newport News; where they Could find a good shipyard," said Kiclmc. ' "They they asked me what 1 con sidered tne best ?reur.se to follow to Chca'fTe detention. 1 told them to hang to the longitude right up and then 1 to strike due westerly into the coast. Thai is exactly what they did." I Some Refuse Pay.

All other members of the crew accepted payment under protest and urged that Hie Gcrtnun goM-rniucnt should pay them for -Ii! lays spent on hoard the raider. But despite (heir shortage of pay, the crew of the Fryc tonight de monstrated their reciprocity by sending "with (heir compliments ' to the German cruiser eight kegs - of beer for the crew and cigars' for the officers mess.
