new American noto to 'Germany,
which the members of the cabinet
have had under consideration since
its presentation to them by Presi
dent Wilson on his Teturn from

in official circles here that if an
other disaster similar to that which
overtook the Luaitania occurs, and
in which the lives of American non
combatants are lost, it will mean
the immediate assembling of con
gress in special session.

note will not be made public until
after the note is placed hi the
hands of the German cabinet of
ficials at Berlin.
Berlin, July 23—The American

real reason for his being sent to
the coal fields at the present time
but seems to think it can have no
other meaning than to have' him
present with the government sur

surveying the coal fields into

to be under the impression that
the surveyors are already at work

Valdez Prospector: It is report
ed in Valdez that Charles Kraemer,
the Miller gulch operator, who has
been vvorkiug to uncover pay under
a heavy slide on his claims, has
succeeded aud is taking out big
money. The report was brought to
Valdez yesterday "by a returning
miner, who is confident that Kraom
ir wiil have a big clean-up this fall.
Kraemer has always expeected to
find big pay under the slide but it
has beeu a difficult matter to uncov

burden. It was his plan to tunnel
Into the slide and take out the pay
dirt leaving the waste to remain.
This he has evidently succeeded in
doing and in consequence will re
turn this fall with a big poke.
