" 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.

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.
