SEND IDENTIC NOTES

to the American protest against inter-

reply simultaneously with England and
that she would send an identic note.
The State Department now believes
that the note will not merely be iden-

signed jointly by the two powers. This
conclusion was arrived at following the
receipt of message from the Ameri-
can Embassy in Paris stating that the
French reply identical with the Eng
lieh. had been forwarded by mail on
the 29th to the French amba ssador at
Washington for delivery to Secretary
Lansing. Unofficial information re-
ceived at the department some days
ago had it that the English reply was
mailed in London on September p and
would arrive on the Philadelphia.
When the note did not come the

be on the Pannonia. The British en-
