TWO ? AMERICAN NOTE GOING TO BERLIN Probably Handed Over in Berlin by End of Last Week FINAL STATEMENT fir fiiiR POQiTin.M ?_> I \s U J I 3 'J*JI I IUI J Puts Question at Ultimate Issue Squarely to the Germans. Washington, July 22.?The now American note to Germany is on its' way to Berlin. It cleared form Washington over the telegraph wires during the night and today was being sent over the cables to London and tnence to Copenhagen, where it goes over land wires again to the German foreign office. It should reach its des tination tonight or early tomorrow. Sej ; -Lary Lansing announced that the text of the note would be given1 cut here Friday afternoon, and then will follow a period of waiting until a reply is received. Concerning future conduct of Gorman submarines, t^ie note does not necessary call for an answer as it announces the intention of the United States to regard any further violation of international law resulting in the loss of American lives as unfriendly. On'tfie other hand, the American demands for disavowal of any intention to sink the Lusitania, and the request for reparation are renewed in the new note, and verv likplv Hm?o and other points such as the willingness of the United States to act as an intermediary between the belligerents to adjust rules of maritime warfare, will be the basis for further discussion by Germany. An answer is not expected for at least two or three weeks. TO RPEODTUBES FOR AIRSHIPS I Washington.?

The body was that of a negro, who probably had gone into the tank to escape the vigilence of a train crew, or to sleep, anu there were indications that he had made vain attempts to get out of the tank through the manhole which is eight feet above the floor the coroner stated. It may never be discovered who the negro was. He is believed to have died in the gasoline tank at least four or live days before the body was disvered by an employe of the Texas Company. No definite estimate of his age could be given ,although the body did not appear to be that of an old man. It was dressed in work clothes and the coat was ripped in the back, perhaps when the unknown man made the fatal mistake of climbing through the manhole into the tank.
