 WASHINGTON. July 22.-1he Unit ed States before determining the next sten in i;s general diplomatic policy will for a brief period await indications from official quarters in Berlin as to the reception of the new note. warning Germany that loss of American lives through further violation of neutral rights will be regarded as "untricnGly. . The note. started on its way to Berlin late last night and wiu probably be de- livered by Ambassador Gerard tomor- TOW. It will be given out for puhhca tion by saturday mornings newspa- pers. Everywhere in official quarters it is pointed out that the document speaks the final word as to how the United States -win regard further transgressions of It's rights.
 The general trend of comment was that a repetition of such a disaster as befeU the Lusitania would fmean the convenins of congress by the president for the consideration of action to be talk en- Tn -he event the status quo is main tained. however. and there are indica- tions through official and unofficial channels that German submarines in the future will conform to the rules of international law in 4 ving the lives oI Americans on unresisGins merchantmen the president will take uH very soon the situation that has arisen with Great Britain over interference with Ameri- can commerce hv the allies.
 For several weeks note has been
 .H. q E- s. British government reiterating the pro test against deviations from the inter rational law in the operations of the order-in-counciI against commerce with GeImanv. This has not been sent because the president was unwilling to give the impression in Berlin that the controversy between the United States ard Germany was in any way condi- toned on the progress of the Ameri- can governments negotiations with the other beIigerents.s It became known that if there are indications that the new American note to Germany is re- ceiyed in a friendly spirit and there ap- pears no intention further to violate neutral rights on the high seas, 9 new protest to Great Britain will be dis patched probably within the next fort night.
 Data is being gathered by the state department but the note will probably not deal to any extent with specific in stances. ccntending chiefly for the general principles involved with re- newed instcnce on notifications of the order-in council to conform to what inc United States regards as the ac- cepted rules of international law.
 The recent filing Of a legal caveat announcing that orders n-council and British municipal law do not affect the rights Of Americans under international law was the first step in the policy of the United States is pursuing to obtain acquiescencc in it's point of view.
 Interest has centered for the most part in official and diplomatic quar- ters on the nature of the new note to Germany Sufficient of its contents has become known to cause widespread comment on the apparently determined position taken by the United States.
 No progress has been made in the in vestigation of the case of the British liner Orduna. at which German sub marine is alleged to have fired a tor pedo without warning.
