Va.. Marth 12.1 - "l can ?av positively t??s?t the Prins. Kit lid Friedrich never will leave this port until the end of the European war." This declaration was made tonight to a representative of the Associated Press by Captain H. 11. KJehne, mat ter of the American sailing ship Wil liam P. Frye, which the (leriuan raider destroyed in the South At lantic ocean January 2N last. Captain lvjehno had just conclud ed his arduous work hero Bince land ing on American soil to tell the story or his vessel's fate to the world last Wednesday. He luid hade farewell to Commander Thierichens. of the tier man cruiser, had paid off his crew and was leaving for Washington to reveal the details of hit ship's de-. Simulien 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 Kit he! Friedrich tonight reliera'ed his insisting that It Is his purpose to leave American waters as soon ai possible. Regarding the reasons for the sink ing l>y the German cruiser of the American ship Prye. it was reported tonigiit that officers of the convert ed cruiser readied a d?cision after finding in the Frye's papers a record Hint the ship with its cargo of wheat was hound for "(Jueenstown.

Ships Tactics Changed* Captain Kjehne also threw addi tional light tonight on Hie coining of thel Elthel-Friedrich to this Ameri can port and insisted that, 'ho Ger man commander did not choose New port News hazardly as a port of safe ty "After February 20." said the cap tain, "the Germans, entirely changed their tactics. Up to that time, when ever a smoke smudge 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 Willerby, there was a change. "From then on the Frierdrlch ran from everything. On this last three night.) 1 knew that the oflicers were getting the wireless from British cruisers. On the last two nights be fore passing into the Virginia capes the order to the crew was. 'Every body to the gun3; nobody to sleep.' On the last night two of the British cruisers were within icn miles of us." Captain KjehtJ?. said that several of the German officers asked him 10 or 12 days ago if he knew where they were going to land. "I told them 1 knew they were go ing to Newport News, where they <uuld find a good shipyard," said Kteltnc. "They they asked me what I con sidered tnn best course to follow to Cbcn'fJB d?tention. I told them to hang to the longitude right up aud then to strike due westerly into the coast. That i? exactly what they did." Sumo Refuse Pay. Two of Captain Kychnc's erew re fused to accept payment today be cause of decision based en statutory law, that they were entitled to wages only until January 28, the day fh9 Frye was sunk. All uther members of the crew accepted payment under protest and urged that the Gcrinun government should pay them for 4'S Jays spent on board the raider. Hut despite their shortage of pay. the crew of the Frye tonigh* de monstrated their reciprocity by sending "with their compliments ' to the German cruiser eight kegs of beer for the crew and cigars for the officers mess.
