Berlin, July 29.-- (By wireless to Sayville) --Capt. Charles Fryatt, of the Great Eastern Railway steamship Brussels, which vessel was captured Ay German destroyers last month, and taken into Zeebrugge, has been executed by shooting after trial be- fore a German naval court-martial. The death sentence was passed upon Capt. Fryatt because of his al- leged action in attempting previously to ram a German submarine. Testimony was presented at the court-martial to show that while Cap- tain Fryatt did not belong to the arm- ed forces he had attempted on March 28th, 1916, while near the Maas light ship. to ram the German submarine Captain Fryatt and the first officer and the first engineer of the Brussels received from the British admiralty gold watches for "brave conduct," and were méntioned in the House of Commons. Nearly Got Submarine. The submarine U-33, according to official accounts of the trial, had sig- nalled to the British steamer to show her flag and to stop, but Captain Fryatt did not heed the signal, and, it-f alleged, turned at high speed to- ward the submarine, whith only es- caped it by diving immediately below the surface. Captain Fryatt, the official state- ment says, admitted that he had fol- lowed the instructions of the British Admiralty, Sentence was confirmed and the captain was executed and shot for a "'frane tireur crime against armed German sea forces."

London, July 29.--That the Kaiser Wilhelm himself confirmed the sent- ence of death found by the. court- martial trying Capt, Fryatt, of the passenger liner Brussels, for his at- tempt to ram a submarine. was re- ported in a Maastricht despatch here to-day. It served further to inflame the British feeling against what the press and public alike branded as the surpassing execution of Miss Cavell, the British nurse, in cold blooded ferocity. The Maastricht despatch asserted the Duke of Wurtemberg wired the sentence of death pronounced by the naval court-martial at Zeebrugge on Fryatt, to Imperial headquarters, asking for confirmation. The war council granted this confirmation at once, its members, including the Kaiser and General Erich Von Fal- kenhayn, former war 'minister, agreeing on the justice of the death sentence.

"This explains the recent orders calling men ordinarily exempt to the colors. Russia already has a large reserve, but it is our intention that this reserve shall not diminish. It is fitting also that the foreign ra- ces in Russia, who ordinarily would not be obliged to serve should be re- cruited, if not in the active army at least in work connected with the con- duct of the war, for the elements in Russia will receive the benefits of vietory."

SAYS THAT THE ENEMY WILL BE DEFEATED At The End of the Year If the Allies Ave Not Prevented by Weather Conditions From Pressing The Present Offensive. By Yyes Guyot, Ex-Minister of Com- mer Th and Forgmost French Eo- FOrROITH - Paris, July 29.--The war will end by December next, provided comtin- ued favorable weather enables tae Allies to keep up the strong and steady military pressure against Germany and Austria, which they have now begun to combine with their economical offensive, The enemy defenses consist solely of three fortified lines., Once thas Franco-British troops have smashed the third line, as they have already in the Somme Valley smashed the first two enemy defenses, they will be a German retreat, compared for speed ouly with that of their advance across Belg'um in August, 1914, I saw in all sincerity that never be- fore has the Allies' military situa- tion looked brighter. ' From special access which I have had to official estimates of the belligerents' . reserves, I can say that at the moment when Ger- many. is embarrassed to find troops to sweep back the tide which is swamping her lines is so many parts of the front, England and France have 10,000,000 effectives. Allies Have Two to One. The French have 2,600,000 men at the front and as many in reserve, to say nothing of 250,000 at Salo- niki. The trained and equipped British force, counting colonials, is at the lowest figure 5,000,000. I have no definite figu of the pres- ent strength of the Russian, Italian, Serbian and Belgian armies, but to- gether they certainly make a total exceeding 10,000,000. ; offensive Galicia has had the desired effect on Roumania, who will shortly take up arms on the side of the Allies in or- der that she may win Transylvania with its population of 4,000,000 Roumanians, An Allied offensive from Salon- {ka~is imminent, and with the French and British attacking her on one side and Roumania on the other, Bulgaria will have no other course but to capitulate, The secret of the Allies favorable situation at this moment ia that af- ter two years of warfare they have been able to pool their forces-and strike simultaneously.
