DATA Being ASSEMBLED
FOR NOTE TO ENGLAND
When It Will Be Ready to Be For.
warded Yet Matter Of
Doubt.

When the new note Of the United States
government will be sent to Great Britain
protesting against interruption to Amer
lean commerce by British naval oper-
ations has not yet been determined, ac-
cording to authorized statements by the
State Department today. 1t was said
however, that for more than two months
officials have been assembling data on
which to base the new note.
There are many cases Of ships and car
goes delayed to be studied. The task OF
reducing them to a comprehensive note OF
not too great length is one that requires
time. 1t is intended that the new repre-
sentations shall be so complete in detail as
to preclude protracted discussion.
No Reply From London.
AS yet, Great Britain has made no
reply to the last American note on the
orders in council. There is a belief in
some quarters here that it is unlikely a
reply will be made while the situation
between the United States and Ger
many continues.
That situation, however, it is said,
would not influence the Washington
government in drafting the new COM
munication, and it was intimated that
the note might go forward as soon as
1t was completed without regard to
the status of the negotiations with
Berlin.

Will Be Disappointed if Berlin Does

INDIANAPoLIs. June Ill have
read with very great deal of pleasure
and satisfaction today the official COM
munication to the German government"
said Vice President Marshall.
Il shall be greatly surprised If there
shall be found any large number OF men
in America who do not fully approve of
its tone and contents.
The President is meeting conditions,
and no difference how much we may
all desire arbitration and universal
peace, conditions are not changed by
such desires. He speaks the voice of
our common humanity, and I shall be
greatly disappointed IL the German
government does not coincide with his
views.
Will Insist on Rights.
Il have never read lessons Of patriot
ism to other people. and I trust they
| will not take the trouble to read them
to one all of whose ancestors were in
| this country in 1916. And I hope that
my advice to my fellow -citizens to stay
| away. If possible. from tho zone of dan
ger will not be construed into right
| of others to disregard the instincts Of
| our common humanity.
I'VE are a peace-loving and . peace
| seeking people, and we will meet the
| powers Of the world on that basis
| whenever it may be possible to devise
| a workable plan. But until that time
comes there are few of US who will not
| insist upon our rights.
| Course Insisted Upon.
| The President could not consent to
principle which would not put tho
government behind an American wher-
ever he may lawfully be. however un-
wise that Americans conduct.
| This is the traditional course in
sisted upon properly by the American
people. Let US sympathize as We please
| with theories and nations, but let US
act as Americans, who are citisens of q
| united country, and who forget their
birthplaces when they assume their
duties to the republic. and entered into
the enjoyment of its blessings"
