KUKU| TEAM EASY P|CK|NGS FUR
 LOCAL BOYS

22 to II, in favor of Cordova, was the final score of the baseball game between a team from the lighthouse tender Kukui, and the Cordova team played on the diamond yesterday afternoon.
 From rooters standpoint the game was interesting for there was plenty of slugging and base stealing, but judged technically, the playing of both teams was extremely poor. A record of the errors made by either side would put to shame a record of the Demo cratic vote in Georgia. Base runners ran wild and wild throws kept base men weary of feet, chasing them.
 Captain Taylor pitched the first five innings for Cordova. Hits at critical times and loose support together with a little hard luck cost him II runs When Harwood relieved him in the sixth, the team frightened up and played fair baseball, keeping the

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 2S,-Further infor- nation is being received here relative to the stand that Germany is about to take in answer to the second American note on the Lusitania disaster. From all that can be learned, which is unofficial, but which has good authority for it's authenticity it is felt that there is no longer any danger of serious break between this country and Germany
 Dr. Alfred Meyer Gerhard, the emissary from Ambassador Von Bernstorff to his home govern menu. has succeeded in impressing the German officials the depth of feeling that aroused through the whole United States by the torpedoing of the Lusitana Gerhard told his home govern ment that the people of America greatly inflamed, and that they looked upon the matter as an unwarrantable outrage upon humanity. He told them also that the United States not looking for trouble, that the people wished to preserve their friendly relations with Germany and that what was wanted was not war but satisfactory answer to the

 The feeling now has changed in Germany and the government there is anxious to give an to the American people that will satisfy the United States and yet not destroy the effectiveness of the submarines The point is made that the submarines have brought into being method of warfare, and that old rules and law cannot always be made to fit new and unique conditions The German gov ernment is now seeking method by which Americans travelling on ships primarily used for the transportation of passengers will be safe, and not subjected to danger. If this be done, it is pro posed to continue the submarine warfare on freg ght vessels carrying contraband of war.
 In Berlin, it is felt that such compromise would meet the exigences of the situation, and leave both sides an honorable common meeting ground. Since it is apparent that Germany is willing to adhere to the principle laid down in the American notes.

They say that new line of defense has been prepared along the River Bug and that the next stand of the Muscovites will be made at that point. The Russian retreat while it makes impossible the chances of counter defensive on the part of the Slavs for long time, robs the Teuons of complete victory The armies of Russia are still virtually intact, and have not suffered the crushing defeat which has been intimated as their troops have always retired to fresh positions when it seemed that they were in danger of being annihilated
