PUBLICATION Of
NOTE Hello UP

Washington, July 1.-THE request by
foreign affairs. that the state department

No explanation for the delay was made
except that another note on the same
subject was promised from London

Secretary Lansing declined to advance
any theory for the experimenting of the
first communication. The American note
which has been in preparation for some
time will be further delayed until the
supplementary documents are in hand.
From the British sources, 1t was learn
ed that the main purpose Of asking for
