UNITED STATES STATE DEPART MENT ISSUES A BULLETIN
 WHICH STATES THAT NEGO- TlATIONS WITH GERMANY ARE
 OF MOMENTOUS CHARACTER.
RELATIONS ARE STRAINED
DEPARTMENT THINKS THAT GERMANY WILL TRY TO DIS IN SINKING ARABIC, BECAUSE SUBMARINE IS NOW SUNK.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 29.- The negotiations now being carried on with Germany are of the most momentous character"
 Those were the words issued as a bulletin from state headquarters here late this afternoon. They are taken to mean that the state department is determined not to let Germany get away with a mere explanation of the sinking of the Arabic, for it is of the opinion that the German government is now trying to disavow the action of the commander of her war vessel for the reason that he cannot be located.
 No direct report has yet reached the state department from the Ger man government. The German am bassador has stated that he is like wise expecting communications from his government which will eX- plain away the ill-feeling now exist ing by guaranteeing the United States satisfaction.
 OFF FOR NEW YORK.
 WASHINGTON. D. C., Aug. 29.- Count Von Bernsdorff, German am bassador to the United States. has announced his intention of going to New York tomorrow. He says that he will there await the instructions of his government as to what to do about the sinking of the Arabic and the German explanation of the deed.
 LONDON PRESS REPORTS.
 LONDON. Aug. 29.-All of the newspapers of this city are loud in their denunciaton of the German government for it's failure to find the commander of the submarine which sunk the Arabic. The London News comments editorially on the subject, saying that the sinking of the submarine which sank the Ara bic and the consequent inability of the German government to find the commander of the submarine, makes easy the German disavowal of the incident.
 WHAT BERLIN SAYS.
 BERLIN. Aug 29-Herr Non Beth mann-Hollweg, chancellor of the Ger man Empire, and Admiral Tirptz, have departed for the eastern war zone, there to enter into a confer ence with the kaiser regarding the Arabic incident. A later report from the conference says that it was favorable and that the great men of the German empire agreed upon an answer which will be con ciiatory to the United States in it's nature. No report has been re ceived here from the submarine which is supposed to have sunk the Arabic.
 LE FIGARO BITTER.
 PARIS, Aug. 29--ln comment ing upon the sinking of the steam ship Arabic and the German expla- nation so far given to the world. Le Figaro, the organ of the French government here, is very bitter. Editorially it says that the Germans are universal distributors of eX- cuses, always having good excuse for every action, whether it be good or bad.

ment for the championship of the Dis

I With the title. Moore won the chal-
lenge cup. offered for the first time
this year by the Evening Star. The
cup, which is a handsome trophy,
must be won three times by the same
champion before it becomes his per-
| manent property.
The match yesterday, though played
In weather more suitable to football
than tennis, and upon a wind-swept
court. brought out the best tennis of
the tournament. 1t was a hard battle
and both the men were at their best
during the greater part of the contest.
While Moore took the first set fairly
easily. his oldeY opponent got into his
stride in the second set and from
that point on it was anybody's match
until the final point had been played.
The game played by the two men
offered strong contrast. Moore used
a hard chop stroke. accurately placed,
while Gore depended on a fast fore
hand drive, which he whipped from
side to side of the court with great
effect.
The finals in the mems singles was
the only match played off yesterday.
Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock the
finals in the mems doubles. interrupted
by darkness last Monday, will be COM
pleted. A. j. Gore and Paul Treanor

Drop Kickera Not Active.
The flock of drop and place kickers on
the big teams of the East have not yet
started to kick goals. Not one such goal
was kicked in the first games of the sea-
son by members of the big Six" and
only two were registered on Saturday.
Tibbott, of Princeton. kicked one. and
Quigley. of Pennsylvania, kicked the
other from placement after making a free
catch. 1t is one of the inexplicable things
Of modern football that players do not
make more use Of the free catch and its
subsequent placement kick. There is hard
ly . game in which one side or the other
does not have to punt on or behind its own
goal posts Under such circumstances the
catch should be made inside the 40-yard
mark from which point It ought always
to be an easy matter to make q free
catch and then score with a goal from
placement. Yet this is an opportunity
for scoring which Il persistently neglect
ed. There 10 no more accurately scoring
play than this. 1t ought to be just as
easy to kick such goal from placement
as II u to kick . goal from touchdown.
