INDICATION OF MODIFICATION
OF Kaiser's Submarine POIicy-Right
to Dctain and Examine.

Berlin, June 25.-There are good
prospects that the forthcoming Ger
man note to the United States will
go a long way toward meeting the
American governments wishes re-
garding Germany's conduct of sub
marine warfare and making passen-
ger traffic on the high seas safe.
while it is stated that submarine
action against hostile merchantmen
will not and cannot be abandoned en-
tirely, it is increasingly probable that
the German note will embOdy some
proposals to exempt ships employed
wholly or principally in passenger
traffic from submarine attack.
Such shipc, it is said, would be sub
iect to e.Oppa %e and examination by
submarines in accordance with the
practice in vogue prior to the present
war, and to capture if carrying con-
traband, but the regular rules Of the
prize law, particularly regarding the
safety Of passengers and crews, would
be observed
1t is hoped here that such a solu-
ton will satisfy the requirements Of
President Wilson's note. 1t is hoped
and expected here among those who
are working for a friendly settlement
Of IL" situation between Germany
and the United States that the United
States would see that such passenger
ships were not used to transport am
munition and guns nor lend them
selves to attacks upon submarines.

fourth game OF tho series. 2 10 /. be-

Philadelphia fail to get men ON bases.
but each timo her slnggers succumb-
cd 10 the elusive slants OF young
Ernie Shore. who by his victory made
up for his defeat In tho opening game
OF the series.
Lewis was again the individual
star. accepting six chances without a
bobble and driving In Boston's second
run. Batting honors for the day were
equally divided between Fred Lud-
erus. the big Philly first sacker. and
Dick Hoblitsei, who operates around
the same bag for tho Carrigan clan.
poston's nrst run came In the third
inning on n combination OF peculiar
hits and circumstances. After Barry
had walked, Cady dumped u bunt
toward Chalmers and George fell
down while trying to aeid II. Shore
sacrificed them TO second and third
respectively and Hooper got q freak
single which scored Barry. The ball
took a bad hop as Niehoff was setting
for II and bounded clear over his
head. Chalmers then steadied and
forced Scott to fly to Whitted and
Speaker to pop weakly to Ludcrus.
Boston's other run, came In the
sixth. when. after Speaker had died,
Hoblitzei pushed o low liner over
second. Lewis then hit a terrific
double into left field which carried
on a line to within few feet Of the
wall. Only remarkably fast work by
whitted kept the hit down to a
double. Hoblitzel scored standing
up.
Philadelphia made last ditch at
tack in the eighth inning and came
near tying the count. But again II
was the same old story OF failure to
wallop when wallops were needed
Two men were down when Gabby
Cravath came up and hit low liner
to Speaker In center. iris saw there
was no chance to get II on the fly
and set himself for the hop. It hop
pod all right. but clear over his head

center, while Cravath puffed his way
around the bases, finally stopping at
third. Luderus then got his third
hit OF the game. another liner over
second. which scored Cravath.
