Weather Is Doubtful.

There will have 10 be a material
change in the weather II the games
Monday are 10 be played, and those who
baye been watching the Nationals luck
in this respect this spring are not at all
optimistic.
The number of ball games which
have been postponed this spring ex
ceAds all records in the history of the
game Most of these postponements
have occurred in the month of May,
thus killing the argument that the sea
SON IL opened too early and that the
curtain should not be rung up until
May. II that had been done this year
the only good weather that the leagues
had would have been missed, for IT
was all In April.
The seasons appear TO be changing
and there is no doubt that this may
have an effect on working a shifting in
the dates in the future.

BY j. ED GRILLo.

Rain. which has been so per-
sistent in following the Nationals
around the circuit that the team
has won the nickname OF rain
makers" caused another post
ponement yesterday, when the
opening game OF the series with
the Yankees had to be called off.
This action was taken for
rather peculiar reasons. however.
While the rain was responsible
for the calling off of the game, 1t
was not that the elements had
made the playing field unfit. The
grounds were in perfect condi-
ton at the time it was decided not
to play, but the grandstand, as
we'll as the pavilion seats, was
soaked. The thin mist failed to
wet the grounds to the extent
that playing was out OF the ques-
ton, but it soaked the seats to
such an extent that there was no
wav to accommodate what spec
tators might have taken the
chance OF coming to the ball park.
Griffith, however, put his players
through strenuous practice All the
pitchers worked out for fully half an
hour with the catchers and there was
also a half hour of batting and fielding
practice. The grounds We're in splendid
condition for practice
Pitchers Battles Slated.

Petrourad Admits Reverse.

The evacuation of Grodno is unde:
way. Petrograd admits officially thas
Russian forces are being withdrawn
from the rigIt bank OF the Niemen.
The loss by the Russians Of the lest
of their strong fortres3es has been eX'
pected, and Tie report that its eVac
uation was imminent caused no sur
prise in Londcn.
1t has been evident for some time
that Grand Duke Nicholas had no in
tention of allowing number OF men
sufficient to maintain long defense
to be penned up in any fortress which
could be invested.
Along the Calician border General
[vanoff continues to retire, but no
without inhicting heavy losses on the
Austro-German forces, which nave
been shaken several times by Vigor'
Gus counter attacks. In the center and
the extreme north the Germans are
making little progress. The Russians
claim another local success near Vii
ma.
Apparently while Petrograd is the
ultimate and Riga the immediate OBJ
iective of the German armies in the
north, the objective of the southern
armies is Kiev. AS the Russian cam
paign progresses it is becoming quite
unmistakable that the Germans are
aiming at the conquest Of the Russian
state.
The German armies hope to winter
in Petrograd and Kiev. There is no
intention of repeating the error of tho
great Napoleon. East Prussia, with a
nearer base on the Baltic, which it is
hoped to find in Riga, to some extent
guarantees the German efforts toward
Petrograd from the extremity OF dis
aster in case of failure. Galicia is
equally favorably situated to provide
a base and refuge for the southern
operations toward kiey.

Attack by Submarines.
Germany has accepted the declara
tons OF the United States in the SUP
marine warfare controversy.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, gave oral and written as
surances to Secretary Lansing that nc
more passenger SHIPS will be SUNK
without warning.
After a conference at the state de-
partment, Ambassador Won Bernstorh
sent Secretary Lansing this letter:
"My Dear Mr.. Secretary-Wlth rel
erence to our conversation, | beg 10
inform you that my instructions con
corning our answer to your last LuSi
tania note contains the following pas
sage:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and WIN
out safety of the lives OF non-comDat
ants. provided that the liners do not
try to escape or offer resistance
although l know that you do not
wish to discuss the Lusitania question
Till the Arabic incident has been deh
nitely and satisfactorily settled, de-
sire to inform you of the above be-
cause this policy Of my government
was decided on before the ARABIC III
cident occurred.
81 have no objection to your making
any use you may please OF the above
information.
81 remain, my dear Mr.. Lansing
every sincerely yours,
~. BERNSTORFF."
In connection with the letter, Sec
retary Lansing made the following
statement:
"In view of the clearness of the
foregoing statement, 1t seems need'
less to make any comment in regard
to it, other than to say that it appears
to be a recognition of the fundamental
principle for which we have contend
ed"
Count Won Bernstorff's letter was
forwarded to President Wilson as
soon as it was received at the state
denartment. No formal comment was
made at the White House, but on
every hand in official quarters there
was evidence of qualification that the
submarine crisis had passed, a1d that
Germany had acknowledged the JUS
tice OF the principles for which Presi
dent Wilson has been contending.
Count Bernstorff's announcement
that the policy had been decided upon
before the sinking of the Arabic
agrees with statements by officials in
Berlin upon which American officials
had been depending. Soon after the
dispatch OF the last I.usitania note
President Wilson understood there
would not be another such disaster
The sinking of the Arabic, therefore
came as double shock.
Inasmuch as it seems to have been
established that the submarine which
sunk the Arabic has been destroyed
by a British patrol boat, the exact cir
cumstauCc3 may never be determined
other than by testimony from British
and American sources.
The German governments state
ment that before the sinking OF the
Arabic the submarine commanders
had been ordered to sinl; no more pas
sen-er ships without warning may b2
taken as a disayowal Of that act.
The question OF reparaticn for the
Americans who lost their lives on the
Lusitania, the Arabic and other ship
which have been torpedoed probably
will be the next step in the proceed
ing.
