WILSON COMPLETING
HIS NOTE TO BERLIN
Rejoinder Will Probably Be Sent
to Cable Office Tonight or
Tomorrow
IS BRIEF AND EMPHATIC
Previous Reports Borne Out by
Text of Message as It
Now Stands
By Associated Press
Washington, June s.—President
Wilson was to-day putting the finish
ing touches on his latest note to Ger
many concerning the sinking of the
Lusttania. It already had been ap
proved In principle by the cabinet.
All that was needed to-day to start
the communication on its way to Ber
llne was the making of minor changes
in phraseology. This was the task
before the President.
The President was expected to
complete the work of revision during
the day. The note will then be sent
to the State department for transmis
sion by cable probably to-night or
to-morrow to Ambassador Gerard at
Berlin who will in turn present it to
the German foreign office.
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. It has been
said in other places, that is, that dur
ing the war, Europe is not a good
place for Americans to be in."

While the steam heat mains extend
for varying: distances in Second, Front,

New Paving
Property owners along North Front

complaining bitterly over the ripping
up of the asphalt in that thoroughfare
between Reel's lane and Schuylkill
street by the Harrisburg Gas Com

The asphalt in this section of Front
street was laid only a year ago. Before
it was put down city officials notified
all public service companies and mu
nicipal departments to lay any pipes
that might be required before the pav

sewer pipes were put in. but for some
reason the' gas company preferred to
wait until this summer, going to the
additional expense of cutting into the
asphalt and the neecssar.v repairs
which the company must bear In addi

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.

London, June 5, 1.15 P. M.—Hostile
airships dropped bombs on the east
and southeast coasts of England last
night. Little damage was done and
the casualties apparently were few.
The bombs were thrown down at a
number of different places, which have
not as yet been enumerated. This in

German submarines have been very
busy during the past few days in the

Fair Traveler Refuses

Baggagemen's troubles at Union Sta

nearly missed a trip to Atlantic City
through the measure.
"1 certainly am nol going to tell
what's in my trunk, you horrid tilings,"
the fair traveler remarked, stamping
her feet in a rage when asked to de
clare its valuation.
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.
