TRIUMPH FOR THE PRESIDENT Decision May Serve as Precedent in Washington'* Statement on Death of Leon C. Thrasher,'Who Perished on Liner That Was Torpedoed. Washington, April 6.--Germany will agree to pay the United States $180,- 000 as damages for the destruction of the America.^ schooner William P. Frye by the auxiliary cruiser Prinx Eitel Fried rich. Information to this effect reached Washington on Sunday from Berlin. The formal declaration of Germany's purpose will be communicated to this government within the next day or two. The authorities breathed a sigh of relief when advised of what they may expect from the German government. They feel they have gotten around an exceedingly difficult situation. In its representations to Germany the administration was exceedingly careful not to make demands nor to use language which might give of­ fense. The American note was con­ fined to the statement of the facts and the reference to the bearing thereon of the treaty in force between the United States and Prussia. The treaty specifically provides for detention of a merchant vessel by the warship of the other in time of war. Germany's agreement to pay dam­ ages because of the application of the Prussian treaty to the Frye case is of great importance. In the representa­ tions this government will make re­ specting the drowning of Leon C Thrasher of Massachusetts as a result o I the torpedoing of the British steamer Falaba by a German subma­ rine the applicability of the treaty will be cited.

Chicago, April 2.--Developments along lines of industrial activities throughout the United States were reported in greater volume and over wider territory on Wednesday than at any time since the first spurt of business at the beginning of the year.

From the steel districts around Chi­ cago, in, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and else­ where similar reports of growing activ­ ity were heard.

Gold commenced to flow swiftly into this country and the only check jcas the creation of huge credits here by the powers of the old world that are tak­ ing our merchandise and products of every description.
