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.

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."
