Washington, D. C, July 21. Secre
tary Lansing was today perfecting the
note to be sent to Germany by the
United States on submarine warfare.
The character and purposes of the
communication had been agreed on at
yesterday's cabinet meeting and all
that remained today was to put it in
shape for transmission to Berlin.
The United States has decided to
inform Germany that further ioss of
American lives as the result of Ger
man submarine warfare in contraven
tion of the principles of international
law will be regarded as an "unfriend
ly act." The discussion of principles
is virtually ended. The American gov
ernment will now warn Germany of
the interpretation it will place on fu
ture transgressions of
rights.
In the new note the United States
assumes that Germany already has
admitted the principle that passengers
must be removed to a place of safety
before destroying an unresisting mer
chantman as a prize.
Taking the position, therefore, that
the two governments are agreed in
principle, the United States views it as
incumbent on Germany to make her
submarine practice conform with the
accepted principles of international
law. Any deviation in actual practice
resulting in the loss of American lives,
it is then pointed out, will be viewed
as an unfriendly act.
The action which the United States
i might subsequently take is not indi
! cated. but in diplomatic usage the
i phrase "unfriendly act" has always
f carried with it. an implication of final-
ity leading often to a severance of
friendly relations."
The note will reject Germany's pro
posals that American vessels be given
complete immunity when not carrying
contraband and for the transfer to
American registry of four belligerent
vessels for transAtlantic traffic, pro
vided they did nor carry contraband.
Again the American government
will reiterate its willingness to act as
an intermediary in adjusting the in
terests of belligerents on the high seas
but will make it clear that, so far as
American rights are concerned, they)
are not to be confounded with the i
practices of reprisals ot one Deniger
ent against another.

New York, July 21. Rioting durinj
which John Molosky, 18 years old, wm
killed and nearly sixty others were in
jured, marked the second day of the
strike of workmen at the plant of th
Standard Oil company of Xew JerseJ
at Bayonne, N. J.
The workers, most of whom are of
foreign birth and unorganized, gath
ered at the gates of the plant, and
disorder, which then began, lasted un
til nearly noon. At that time the po
lice, assisted by deputy sheriff and
firemen, brought the situation under
temporary control at least. The police
say several thousand person took
part in the attack.
Of the f3 injured Uketi to the Bay
onne hospital, 60 are men and boy
who fought about the gates of the
plant; the other three are policemen.
Inspector Cady's horse waa shot
from under him and later he narrowly
escaped serious injury when surround
ed by rioters near a Are house wheiro
he had gone to stop an attack.
Sheriff Kinkoad of Hudson county
arrived shortly after noon and took
command of affairs. In an endeavor to
bring an etid to disorder by mean
of persuasion, the Bherlff, aocm after
bis arrival, rode In hia automobile to
a square where a crowd of 600 persona
were assembled to discuss the atrtk
and watch the gates.
Standing in his car, he addreeaed tbm
crowd, telling the men thery must re
main orderly, and wliat his dntlea
were in the situation. He called on
every man who would obey him to
hold up bis hand, and a majority did
so.
Sheriff Kinkead spoke for half an
hour and serveral times the men cheer
ed his statements, especially his prom
ise to do what he could to settle the
difficulty. A committee of three wag.
appointed by the men to moot Sheriff
Kinkead later in the day.
There were three separate attack
by the rioters today. The first was at
the fire house of an engine company
and here all the windows were brok
en, after which the crowd moved on
and attacked the police near the main
gate of the Standard Oil plant. Three
rioters were injured by bullets from
the policemen's pistols before the
crowd left
The rioters then made their way to
the plant of the Tidewater Oil com
pany, half a mile away, which re
mained in operation today though the
strikers had been led to believe that
the men there wonld Join them today.
As they approached the pla.nt 1,300
