SHANkLIN RECALLED
FOLLOWING QUARREL
Consul General at Mexico City
Ordered Home After Clash
With Brazilian Minister.

Washington. d. c., July 2o.--Arnold
S~hanklin. American consul general In
Mexico City, is or his way to Wash
ington, under orders from the state
department to report upon conditions.
This was stated officially today and
incidentally IL was admitted that Mr..
Shanklin has been withdrawn tempo
rarily from duty in Mexico City to
avoid continuation of friction with
Senior Cardoza. the Brazilian minister
there.
Last week Mr.. Shanklin went to the
Mexican capital to carry on Red Cross
relief work. Some differences as TO
methods developed between the consul
general and the Brazilian minister.
They were not serious, but as Senior
Cardoza has been for many months
looking after American interests in a
manner so thorough and satisfactory
as to win the gratitude Of the state de-
partment officials, they regarded II as
only proper to remove any causes Of
friction quite regardless OF the merits
Of the question. ..@

Washington. d. c.. July 20.--Presi-
today discussed in detail n draft OF the
note to be sen to Germany this week,
informing the imperial government
what the United States will do IL there
Is further violations of American rights
on the high seas.
The return ot President Wilson from
Cornish, N. H., gave Secretary Ian
sing his first opportunity to confer on
the policy to be followed as the re-
suit Of Germany's failure to satisfy the
American demands made in the note
Of June o.
It. was understood that the presi-
dent and Mr.. Lansing found that they
had cached about the same conclusion
that the mex communication to Ger
many will be OF a definite character,
making Enthusiastically clear that the
United States cannot be expected TO
remain passive in the event 81 mother
attack on an unarmed and unfesisting
ship with a loss OF Americans.
The note IL is now practically agreed,
will to Germany the intention
of the United States to assert its
rights on the high seas in accordance
with international law.
. Won't Discuss Principles.
There probably will be little or no
discussion On the principles already
treated at length in previous notes.
Prompt action in dispatching the
note was generally forecast. Tomorrow
IT will be submitted by the president
revised again at Fridays meeting. In
official quarters Ii was agreed that the
communication will be on It's way to
Berlin by Saturday.
Although II Is not certain whether
reference will be made to the attack on

that the incident has swept aside pre-
vious suggestions that the next COM
munication would take into considera-
ton that German submarine com
manders in actual practice were con-
forming to the rules Of international
law. Irrespective OF the details Of the
orduna attack. the fact that a vessel
carrying Americans bound to the Uni
ted States and transporting no contra
band was attacked without warning,
impressed high officials that German
submarine warfare still held forth
many hazards for Americans travelling
the high seas ION lawful errands."
Note TO Be Emphatic.
Secretary Lansing was at the White
House for more han an hour. While he
had been in frequent communication
with the president since the latter e
to Cornish. N. H. II Is understood that
he did not obtain until today the presI-
dents final decision OF the extent to
which the purposes Of the United
States should be stated In the next
