" AMERICA ACCEPTS BERLIN^ PROPOSAL Agrees That Damages in Frye Case be Fixed by Mixed Commission. ANSWER TO LAST NOTE. Insists <?n Knowing I'ndor Wliut 1jH\v Germany Intends to Unc Submarines. Washington, Aug. 17.?The American note to Germany, made public today, in regard to the destruction of the sailing ship William P. Frye. by a German auxiliary cruiser may have important results in its bearing upon the treatment of neutral commerce by belligerents, officials hero believe. The United States acquiesces in the German proposal that a joint board of experts fix the value of the Frye, which will be paid for promptly by the German government. This ^ was the original American proposition. The note's acceptance of the German offer to arbitrate "the question 01 legal justification," for the sinking of the Frye, in so far as that Involves the interpretation of the existing treaties with Germany is considered far-reaching in its effect. If the German government agrees to arbitration, in the form suggested. It is believed here that the American government will be in a position to address Itself to Great Britain with greater force than heretofore in advocacy of the general freedom of leg itimate neutral commerce on the high seas. In the state department's view this will be particularly true if Germany agrees to suspend, during the arbitration at least, its policy of destroying American ships carrying contraband. TEXT OF NOTE. The note is regarded as putting the noted case well on the way to a settlement. It is addresed by Secrotary Lansing to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin, as follows: "You are Instructed to present the following n te to the German min-| Ister for foreign affairs: ^ "Under instruction from my government I have the honor to inform your Excellency, in reply to your note of July 110, in regard to the claim for reparation ror the sinking of the William P. Frye, that the government of the United States learns with regret that the objections urged , against it by the submission of this to the prize court for decision have not commended themselves to the Imperial German government, and it t equally regrets that the reasons presented by the Imperial German government for submitting this case to prize court have failed to remove the objections of the government of the 1'nlted States to the adoption of that course. As this disagreement has been reached after the full presentation of the views of both governments in our previous correspondence, a further exchange of views on the question in dispute would doubtless be unprofitable, and the government of tlie United States, therefore welcomes your Excellency's suggestion that some other way should be found for settling this case. TWO MVTUOriO ' - "The two methods of settlement proposed as alternative suggestions In your Excellency's note have been Riven careful consideration, and it is believed that if they can be combined so that they may both be adopted, they will furnish a satisfactory basis for the solution of the questions at issue. "The government of the United States has already expressed its desire that question of the amount of indemnity to be paid by the Imperial government under Its admitted liability for the losses of the owners and captain on account of the deof the Imperial German government struction of the Prye should be set' tied by diplomatic negotiation, and it entirely concurs with the suggestion tliut tlift fllinnlriol wow ***<"* 1 ^ *-v ... ... v.-v ??* / nuuiu li?" IU agree, as proposed in your note, 'that each of the two government designate an expert, nnd that the two experts Jointly tlx the amount of indemnity for the vessel and any Amer, lean property which may have been sunk with her,' to be puid by the Imperial German government when ascertained as stated in your note. It Is assumed that t>hc arrangement will include some provision for ':nlling uii umpire in cHsc mi! exp'-r's fall to agree. CONDITIONS OF PAYMFNT. "The government of the United Stat oh notes that your suggestion Is made with the express reservation that a payment under this arrangement would not constitute an a.lmis sion that American treaty rights had been violated, but would be regarded by the Imperial German government merely as fulfilling a duty or policy founded on existing treaty stipulations. A payment made on this understanding would be entirely acceptable to the government of the United States, provided that the acceptance of such payment should likewise be understood to bo without prejudice to the convention of the government of the United States that the sinking of the Frye was without legal justification, and provided also I that an arrangement can be agreed ; upon for the immediate submission! to arbitration of the question of; legal justification in so far as it involves the interpretation of existing treaty stipulations. TOGETHER ON ONE I'OINT. "There can be no difference of opinion between the two governments as to the desirability of having this question of the true intent and meaning of their treaty sttpula tions determined without delay, and to that end the government of the) United States proposes that the al-! ternative suggestion of the Imperial German government also be adopted. so that this question of treaty interpretation can be submitted forthwith to arbitration, pursuant to Article' .18 of The Hague convention for the , pacific settlement of international disputes. "In this way both the question of j indemnity and the question of treaty ! interpretation can promptly be settled. and it will be observed that the only change made in the plan proposed by the Imperial German government is that, instead of eliminating either one of its alternative suggestions. they are both given elTeet in order that both of the questions under discussion may be dealt with at ' the same time. "If this proposal proves accept- ? able to the Imperial German govern- , ment. it will he necessary also to determine whether, pending the arbitral award, the Imperial German government shall govern its naval operations in accordance with its own interpretation, or in accordance with the interpretation maintained by the United States, as to the obligations imposed by their treaty stipulations, and the government of the; United States would be glad to have en expression of the views of the Ira perial German government on this point. (Signed) "LANSING." Rechauffe of Beef. Brown two tablespoonfuls butter, add two tablespoonfuls flour and brown thoroughly. Add two cupfuls of stock and one teaspoonful currant | Jelly. When the sauce begins to thicken add one-fourth teaspoonful salt, one-fourth teaspoonful paprika, a few drops of onion juice, one teaspoonful ' catsup and thin slices of rare roast beef. Stir carefully till meat is heated. A tablespoonful of Sherry added just before serving improves it. Cleaning Fine Fabrics. Delicate fabrics like crepe meteor or crepe de chine generally require m professional skill to clean properly. However, the hcmemaker can remove stains herself if she acts promptly by placing the soiled spot over steam issuing from the nose of the teakettle. The fabric can then be pressed between clean white blotters or brown paper, with a warm iron. Pineapple Ade. Cut slices of very ripe pineapple Into small pieces. Put them with their Juice into a large pitcher and sprinkle them well with sugar. Pour on boiling water, allowing a small half pint to each pineapple. Cover and let stand until quite cool, occasionally pressing down the pineapple with a spoon. Strain the infusion and serve I in tumblers with ice. Pronunciation of "Newfoundland." The noun "Newfoundland" Is pronounced "N'u-fund-land," with the accent on the first and last syllables ; To quote Lipplncott's Gazetteer: I "Tills word Is universally pronounced Ku + Vt j-i InVinKltontu ii'ith t ho oeoont t\n the first and last syllables. When, however, It la used as an adjective, as In the phrase "a Newfoundland j dog," euphony requires that the accent should be placed on the penultima. j The same rule peems to hold with re- ] spect to some other names: leghorn and Cashmere, as nouns, are usually accented on the last syllable, but as . adjectives almost invariably on the first." It is, no doubt, this distinction in accenting the word, by Its two , usages, which has led to the suspl | cion of a change in the standard of pronunciation. i Constipation Cniises Mo?( Ills.
