BREAKING OFF RELATIONS. AX UNFRIENDLY NOTE. Received duly 22, » 20 p.m. Loudon, July 22. Renter's Wiisliingtoii correspondent says that the decision to inform ! Germany that further loss of American lives through submarines will be regarded as an unfriendly act virtually ends tlie discussion on the principles of the ease. The Note assumes that Germany admits that passengers must first be removed to safety before unresisting' merchantmen are destroyed, and Germany must conform to international law. It is understood that the phrase "unfriendly act" is used with the full knowledge that it may lead to the severance of friendly relations. The Note insists on reparation for the lives of the Americans lost on the Lusitania, and rejects the proposal exempting American vessels which are not carrying contraband, and also the proposal to transfer four belligerent vessels to the American flag.
