sage on interruption of Ameri-
can Commerce.

Washington, D. Cit was stated
officially at the state department that
while officials had been assembling
data more than two months on which
to base a new note to Great Britain on
interruptions to American commerce
by British naval operations, there was
no indication of when the communica-
ton would be ready for transmission
to London.
Great Britain has made no reply
to the last American note on the Or.
ders in Council There is a belief in
some quarters here that it is unlikely
a. reply will be made while the sit,
uation between the United States and
Germany continues. That situation,
however, it is said, would not influ-
ence the Washington government in
drafting the new communication and
it was intimated that the note might
go forward as soon as it was COM
pleted without regard to the status of
the negotiations with Berlin.

A recently returned American tour
ist tells of entering a hotel in a
French town not far from Paris. He
asked for room, and the hotel-keep-
er took him to the top floor, where he
showed very comfortable apartments
at the surprisingly low figure of FIVE
francs a day. Marveling, but well sat
isfled, the American took a romm.
Later in the day, while walking
about the town, he met an acquaint-
ance, who inquired where he was liv-
ing, whereupon the fortunate tourist
told Of his excellent, inexpensive &C
commodations.
"Ah," said the friend. What floor
are you on?"

Yes. You have one of the zeppe-
lin parlors. Try to get room in the
basement and see what they'll charge
