READY. FOR
 PEACE ! ANY MOMENT
I,lstI Would Welcome End Of (Wd, Says German Ambassador.

New York. Sept. That the war lnay see an early end is the some- knat astounding deduction that seems aevitab ble from a statement made yesterday by Count Johann von Bern torff. German ambassador to the Knitted States.
 "The war has been fought and lon, ' he said, and followed immedi- tely with these highly significant Lords.
 Germany did not begin the war: she did not want the war. ! Sh9 slis ready for peace at any moment.
 Statements of such import are not ght1y made by diplomats of the class the German ambassador and it was eken by well informed observers as he of the most 4important bits of Jews of the day.
 The ambassador was at the Ritz ,arltqn Hotel, and after a careful leading of the latest wireless des- patches from Berlin received through he station at Sayville, l.. r., said that he situation demanded full and inn bediate explanation. He then gave a eporter his Interpretation Of what he rmed the tremendous import of the ky's news.
 Resume of Views.
 A resume of the ambassadors views kllows:
 The war is won. The coalition as been defeated in western Europe. erman defeat on land is now out of be question.
 g. The aims of the German gen. II staff have been attained. The lies have been so badly and so sud- enly worsted that Germany is free o withdraw, as she has begun to do, reat. numbers of men to ward off the sussian invasion. 3 The defeat on the seas is cknowledge with the proviso that he defeat was to be expected, since lie German navy has always been neant simply to defend the coast line, nd that if the English assumed the snwing German navy was meant for nv other purpose they labored under sae1y mythical conception.
 "A Germany did not begin the war. be did not want the war. She is eady for peace at any moment. A5 German victory means a great avance of democracy in the empire. he nation can never forget how the hole people rose as one man against
 unjust attack, nor how the leader fhe socialists made a speech amid wild cheers of the conservative rty. which stood up to man, way
 their handkerchiefs at him.
 e"The battle-ground in western Eu- be,'' said the ambassador, ''is in eh a condition that Germany can N, recall great numbers of her bps to meet the Russian invasion the east. This is the significance aNach to the withdrawal of the b,e00 troeps from Belgium. There no such thing, you know. as Rus- tan avalanche.

REFUGEES PAY $7,ooo
 FOR CABIN PASSAGE
Italian Liner Prilc.ptssa Matilda
 Arr.VeS in New York.

New York, Sept. 1.-The Italian steamer Principessa Mafalda. char tered by John F. Jones. American con- sul at Genoa, at a cost of $184,OOO, reached New York today from Italy with 388 wealthy Americans aboard and occupied cabins with spacei for 200 more. Some of the passengers paid $7,000 for bin; none paid less than $100, and the average cost to all aboard was approximately $500.
 The presence of empty cabins was explained by the declaration that, although there were many Americans ir Italy who wanted to return home, they were unwilling to pay the fares demanded for the voyage.
 Ryndam Reaches Port.
 Reaching port at almost the same hour as the Principessa Mafalda was the Holland-America liner Ryndan with 1,285 passengers-332 in the steerage-of whom 1,072 were Ameri- cans Scores of the Ryndams pas sengers were virtually without funds and twenty-seven were absolutely destitute.
 Guarantee Required $1S4,O0O.
 An option upon the Principessa Mafalda, which has been in the South American service, was obtained in the name of the United States govern ment. When the option expired MT. Jones had not received authority from Washington to pledge payment for the ships passage by the government, and a party of Americans guaranteed the required $1s4,00O. The vessels owners refitted the ship for the voy- age and divided the steerage into cabins. V
 Former Governor Aboard.
 Among the passengers were Henry Roberts, former governor of Connec- ticut.. . .
 Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, widow of former president of the United States. was one of the Ryndam's s- passen- gers.

SAN FRANCISCO-A cOroner's jury
has returned a verdict laying the
blame for the wreck Of the Hmhlel

]. Carey and making strong recon-
mendatiCns for better equipment
fer the life-saving service.
CAPTAIN Carey will stand trial To-Day
before Inspectors Guthrie and t'oian
on a charge of negligence and I'M
skiIfulnass. The verdict CT the c0To"
ner's iurv will have no affect on this
trial in any way.
The verdict was found on the teStl-
mony Of Captain Carey. the quarter
master who was at the wheel ana H.
A Loveicy. the wireless hero of the
wreck. Reese is dead, having lost his
life during the wreck.
CAPTAIN Carey repeated his story
almost word fer word as he gave it to
Examiner representatives on PeooIe
beach after he was dragged from the
breakers. The course he named tnen
was the same he named yesterday and
he repeated his statement that TINS
course had been changed by Reese
without his orders and without MS
being notified.
The details were corroborated by
the Guartermaster, Joseph CARSON
Ioveioy corrohorated Careys state
ment that Reese had told both the
CAPTAIN and the first mate that he had
altered the course.
Carey said that Reese's reason Tor
altering the course was that he
thought he heard the whistllng buoy
off Duxbury reef and that the snip
was in a position whence more

he was probably figuring distance COW

that time, which would require a 1uii
two hours to cover that distance.

man who heaved the lead, testified
that he heard First Mate Thomas Nc

robbed Dave Castor of a hit in the
fifth he pulled off the prettiest one
hand stab that has been seen on Muck
alec field this season.
And the Muckalees were not far be-
hind the Dutchman from Thomasviue
when it came to fielding stunts. Char
lie West at short went back into left
field and made a stab with his bare
hand of a ball tagged for safe terri
tory. Bill Bales fielded his position
iam-up and one stop he made back OF
third base prevented a run. And then
there was Glenn Colby's who helped
swell the circus catches with couple
of neat pick-ups and several one-hand
catches of hard chances.
The Muckalees got an early start
and pushed four runs across in the
first inning With three men on Bill
Bales slammed one for two sacks that
started the procession and put the
crimp in Dudley's chances. The sec
ond frame produced another quartette
of runs when the Muckalees turned a
walk, two errors, sacrifice fly and
two hits into four runs. The other
six runs Americas chalked up came
one and two at time during the rest
of the game. One was the result of
smash that landed the pellet over

Standing of the Clubs.

The Muckalees frightened their hold
on the pennant by winning yesterdays
game from the brownsville Hornets
Ia to 8. Americas took the lead in the
first inning and held it all the way. A
downpour of rain which checked up
lust before the umpires were prepar-
ing to call the game, made the dia-
mond slow and hurt the crowd to a
large extent.
A fleeing glance at the box score
will give one a bunch that the game
was one punk exhibition of the ma
tional pastime. But for once the
hunch is wrong. Yesterdays game had
enough features to redeem it in the
eyes of the most skeptical.
Zapke worked for Americas and
was opposed by three pitchers. The
Dutch lad worked as pretty a game
as has been seen on the local lot until
the third when with Americas s runs
in the lead he slackened and grooved
them for the visitors. Each time they
threatened to make enough to make
things interesting, Zapke frightened and
the fun for brownsville was over.
In spite of the slow diamond, both
teams pulled off pretty exhibitions o:
fielding. At least four plays were made
which we're worthy of place in the
baseball blue book. When Lefty Roth

Glen Colby proved himself an ideal
lead-off man in yesterdays game.
Three times the first sacker looked

strolled to first on wide ones. The
three walks gave Glenn but two times

duced a two-base blow which scored a
man from first.

IA Win Today and The Rag,is Ours

the first bobble of the game was I'M
covered by Americas. Three runs fol-
lowed this miscue, which should haze
retired the side. One more came In
the fourth and three were added in
the sixth and two in the last inning.
Mitch Davenport was the hero of the
occasion and was responsible for four
of the nine runs made by the visitors.
Todays game will cinch the rag for
Americas and be the last of the series
if the Muckalees win. And the boys
say they will. Melford Pratt will go
against the Hornets in the game and
will have Lefty Roth for an opponent.
East, who was due to work today, has
been recalled by Montgomery and left
Americas last night for the Alabama
capital.
It's UP to the fans to have the larg-
est crowd of the season out today. The
rain yesterday hurt the attendance, but
that won't hurt today. 1900 or even
more will not be too many for the
fans to turn out. It'll be the last
