Final Warning Will Be Given Germany, Is Belief.

Washington, July 19.—President Wilson returned to Washington today to give immediate consideration to the note that is to go to Germany probably before the end of the week. The communication, it is believed, will convey notice to the German government that the U. S. will maintain its rights on the high seas as guaranteed by well established principles of international warfare.

The president has entrusted > the writing of the note to Secretary Lansing, who is in complete accord with the aims and purposes of the president, who wrote the former notes. There was every indication today that the president is determined that this whole question of the right of American shipmasters to travel the seas without being molested, as long as the ships they command do not carry contraband, and the right of American citizens to travel on unarmed merchantmen of the belligerent countries, must be settled without further parley. That the new secretary of state has very positive views as to what should be done under existing circumstances is very well understood. .
