Claimants,
v.
GERMANY.
BY THE COMMISSION: –
The claimant Joseph W. Frankum was on May 7, 1915, and has ever since been a subject of Great Britain. On that date his wife, Annie Mariah B. Frankum, his son, Frederick George Frankum, who was born in Canada, and his daughter, Winifred Annie Frankum, who was born in the United States of America, were lost on the Lusitania. At the time of her death Winifred was not quite three years of age. Her father, a British subject, was her sole heir. Raymond R. Cameron was duly appointed, qualified, and is acting as Administrator of the Estate of Winifred Annie Frankum, Deceased. No claim is made for any personal property lost with the minor.
The record fails to disclose any loss, damage, or injury suffered by an American national.
Applying the rules announced in the Lusitania Opinion and in this Commission’s Administrative Decision No. V, the Commission decrees that under the Treaty of Berlin of August 25, 1921, and in accordance with its terms the Government of Germany is not obligated to pay to the Government of the United States any amount on behalf of the claimants herein or either of them.
Done at Washington January 7, 1925.
