Previous reports that the note will be brief but emphatic, are borne out, it is said, by the text as it now stands. Rumor Is Unfounded Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin ca bled the State Department to-day that reports of Americans in Germany having been warned to he prepared to leave was attributable to the em bassy's standing: advice that the war zone Is not a desirable place for Amer icans. "The warning that the stories have reference to," said Secretary Bryan to-day, "is what has been said at the time since the war begun.

Americans Have Not Been Warned to Leave Berlin By Associated Press Washington, June B.—So far as is known here Ambassador Gerard has not been instructed to inform the American colony in Berlin of any sub sequent step the United States may have in mind in the event of a non compliance by Germany with the de mands of the United States. The report that there had been offi cial warning to the American colony of a prospective severance of diploma tic relations was believed to be due to the fact that the American embas sy and consulates have recently been gathering the list of Americans, revis ing previous tabulations. Recently there was published here a report to the effect that Americans in Germany were being warned to leave on account of a possible sever ance of diplomatic relations. This met with prompt denial, however, in high official quarters. It is believed to be not unlikely, however, that in connection with press reports from the United States concerning a possinle severance of diplomatic relations, many Americans have naturally made Inquiries at the consulates and em bassy, but it is not believed that Am bassador Gerard has received anv in structions outlining the future course of the American government.

Ten vessels have been attacked in the last three days without loss of life except in the case of the trawler Vic toria, four members of the crew of this boat and a boy passenger having fallen victims to shells fired by the at tacking submarines. Fair Traveler Refuses to Tell "Horrid" Men Contents of Her Trunk Baggagemen's troubles at Union Sta tion have multiplied greatly since the new trunk valuation law went into effect. A young lady this morning nearly missed a trip to Atlantic City through the measure.

Eventually she was made to tinder stand that a valuation was all that was asked for. Then the young woman took a seat near the baggage window and started to figure things out. Then came more trouble. She said it was exactly $101.27. "That means an extra dime," said the "horrid' baggageman. "Drop it tn an even hundred, then," was the reply. After a delay of about twenty two minutes the young woman boarded her train as it was pulling out. T COALITION GOVERNMENT PLANNED . *, > j London, June 5, 2.20 P. M.
