NOTE TO GERMANY PREPARED
DRAFT 10 COMPLETED az WILL
SON AND LANSING.
May be Dispatched to Berlin This
Week--To Express Conclusions
Of United States.

Washington, July 21.--President VIII
son and Secretary Lansing prepared
the draft of note on submarine war
fare to be submitted to the cabinet
at once and to be sent to Germany
probably before the end OF the present
week.
Beyond the fact that the position
already taken by the United States I'm
its previous notes will be reiterated, no
information was forthcoming at either
the White House or state department
concerning the probable contents OF the
new note.
The President cautioned those with
whom he eouncilled to refrain from
discussing the note in advance Of it's
dispatch to Germany and public Off
Gals particularly requested the cor.
respondents to avoid speculations In
detail at this time because the char
acter of the document had not been
finally determined.
Note VIII be Brief.
The note. 1t is understood, will be
comparatively brief, expressing the
conclusions OF this government as a
result of Germany's failure to give the
assurances asked for in previous notes,
namely. that the lives of Americans
travelling on the high seas bound on
lawful errands aboard unresisting and
unarmed merchantmen be not endan-
gered.
As yet the case of the British liner
Orduna. attacked by German subma.
rine, has not been brought officially to
the attention of the state department.
Secretary Lansing said he had expect
ed word from some of the American
passengers aboard, but If this failed
to arrive In another day or two he
would request ore of the departments
OF the government to institute an In
vsstigation to obtain accurate informa,
tion concerning the incident.

Some man tried to oppose Tommy
entrance to the observation end OF
Ce1estia's car, only to be thrown SO
violently to one side that he realized
he had encountered force with which
he could not cope. And Tommy, half
dead with grief and rage, burst into
the car and found himself face to face
with Celestia.
She was standing and appeared to
be in the best of health; but she had
a dazed look, or rather an 1nattentlVe
look. She did not seem to resent Tom
my's violent intrusion in the least,
nor to be surprised at it, nor to ex-
press any other emotion. The clock
in the car indicated a few minutes to
five.

tia, in an expressionless voice. rs

YES, the car is there" said Tom
my.
ST have to go at five o'clock"
She neither looked at Tommy nor
spoke to him, but as the clock began
to strike five she hurried out on the
rearsplatform, descended to the ground,
and crossed the down track to large
black touring car that was waiting at
the side Of the road, the engine turning
slowly.
The driver of the car, dark man
heavily goggled. sprang to the door for
Celestial. Freddie the Ferret, who
was hanging about, also sprang to per-
form the same Office, with the result
that this small service for their God
dess fell to the lot Of Tommy. AT least
he was the one to get his hand on the
doorknob. But he did not at once open
the door. Celestia's behavior was so
strange that he thought she must be
ill. While he hesitated, the driver
said: "Here-one side!"
Are you speaking to me?" asked
Tommy icily.
What do you want mixing in this ?
said the driver. Tommy did not an
swer. but said to Celestia:
81 wouldn't go alone with this man.
Why not take me to look after you?
