BERLIN, July 23.
The American note In 'ho Lusltanl.1
matter was delivered to thoGcrman For
eign OCTlca at 1:16 this nfternoon by Am
bassador Gerard. Arrangements for Its
publication nro being made.
Mr. Gerard remained at tho Foreign
Ofllco In concrsatlon wltn Herr von

wns Immediately BurroUmled by nows
pnper men, but he would give no Intima
tion of tho contents of tho note. Secre
tary von Jagow was equally reticent.
' WASHINGTON, July 23.
Tho American note's delivery to Ger
many today cast the dlo so far as futuro
relations between tho two countries are
concerned.
Ambassador Gerard was instructed to
send a confidential report of tho noto's re
ception by German officials and also by
tho German public.
Late, this afternoon copies of tho noto
will bo given out for publication Satur
day. "
Arrangements wero mado by tho State
Department to furnish copies also to all
belligerents' diplomatic representatives
here. ItB full text was cabled Thursday
night to American diplomats In tho war
ring countries. Summaries were sent to
other American representatives abroad.
Tho note's effect on public opinion hero
nnd In Germany was awaited anxiously In
official quarters. The Administration was
resigned to some criticism from both
sources. .
i President Wilson and his ndvlserrf wero
confident, however, that the noto will
meot with tho hearty approval nnd sup
port of tho great mass of the public
Inci eased nptlyVrnerJcan sentiment tem
porarily ;at least, "in Germany was ex
pected. Whether it assumes considerable
proportion, it was believed, depends On
German officialdom's attitude.
Indications were that Germany would
delay replying for some time. Tho note
does not require a reply or a promise to
modify undersea operations, eventually,
however, It was expected Germany will
send another note.
Whllo tho President Is ready for any
eventualities ho has not decided definitely
what course should be pursued If the
Lusltanla Incident wero repeated.
A special session of Congress might bo
called, or diplomatic relations might ba
severed without congressional action.
If Germany should order her submatine
commanders to obey the policy Insisted
upon by the United States, and by acci
dent or mistake a submarine's captain
should disobey theso orders, an Immedi
ate break with Germany will not neces
sarily follow, officials said tlmo would
bo allowed for an Investigation.
Dudley F?eld Malone, Collector of tho
Port of New York, conferred with Presi
dent Wilson today. It is believed the sub
marine attack upon the Orduna-was under
discussion. The inquiry has been con
ducted by Mr. Malono under direction of
the Treasury Department,
Mr. Malone later submitted his report
on tho Orduna matter to the Treasury
Department and had a talk with Sec
retary of State Lansing. He said any
statement concerning this investigation
must come from the State Department
and President Wilson.

Ono of tho brightest phases of tho pres

tho shipments of bituminous coal to for

In April, May nnd June the shipments

six months tho exports aggregated 40C.063

BAYONNi:, K. J.. July 23. Facing
each other In ominous silence across the
dead lines established by Sheriff Kin
kead, the striking workmen of the Stan
dard Oil Company and tho armed guards
protecting the plants awaited today the
efforts being made to mediate the
trouble.
It was not until four men had been
Mlled, five mortally wounded nnd a score
of others Injured in the three days of
riot, that Sheriff Klnkead got the situa
tlon under control nnd was able to end
the violent rioting.
Three hundred deputies were sworn In
and the Sheriff declared that State troops
would not be needed.
While quiet prevailed, there was a
strong undercurrent of unrest among the
strikers, who were maddened by the
killing of four of their number by pri
vate detectives employed by the Standard
Oil Company, and the country authorities
exercised the most, vlllgant caution, fear
ing nno'.her outbreak.
The deadline was established at the
main entrance to the Tidewater Oil Com
pany's plant, where two men were shot
to death in Thursday's riots. The Tide
water Company Is a subsidiary of the
Standard.
Among the deputies who aro enforc
ing order and watqhlng tho dead line
are 56 men who wero formerly soldiers tn
the regular army.
The last burst of disorder occurred to
day. when only 250 men, In sympathy
with the 5000 strikers, tried to blow up
the barrel factory at the Tidewater plant,
but were foiled by tha vigilance of pri
vate detectives.
As a result of the oil strike and tha
casualties which attended it, a move
