THREATEN GERMAN LINES.
Russians Moving Toward junction
of 0pposinE Teuton Forces

Petrogard. Oct. 2s.-The tension of the
fighting on the Dvinsk-Riga front is
increasing rapidly. This is particularly
noticeable on the road to Riga where,
owing to local conditions, the Germans
hope 1t will be easier to cross the
Dvina than at Dvinsk
The successful advance of the Russians,
debouching to the westward from the
region of the lakes into the open
country in the direction of Sventsiany,
has greatly alarmed the Germans. as this
spot is the junction Of Won Buelow's
and Won Eichhorn's armies. Should the
Russians succeed In breaking through
there. the Dvinsk operations threatened
by the Germans would be with the
object Of covering their flank to the
rear Of Won Buelow's army. thus link

This Is Opinion of States

CONGRESS- MUST
PROVIDE REMEDY
Methods Adopted by United States in
1867 Recalled by Washington Dip.
I..nat>, Who Think Britain Is Dis
eliminating Against America.

Washington, March lin notes OF
similar tenor made public by the
state department today, Great Britain
and France make the definite
assertion to the United States that
they have established and are en-
forcing a blockade of the ports OF
Germany, but that the allied govern
ments will refrain from enforcing
the usual penalties of a blockade"
It is further explained that neu-
trail vessels are subject to seizure
only when presumed to be carrying
contraband. and N the words of the
French note, the discharged cargo
shall not be confscated. Merchan-
disc belonging to neutrals shall be
held at the disposal of its owners 20
be returned to the port of departure.
In case the owner Of the goods is
German, they shall simply be seques-
tered during The war"
These notes were in answer to the
| American representations made to
the allies recently, asking an expla
nation of the method to be adopted
in enforcing the blockade and point
ing out that some of the provisions
IN the blockade plan were paradox
cal. The American note was made
public by Secretary Bryan stimuli
taneously with the replies from the
other powers.
rhe reply of Great Britain to the
recent American note proposing
lmetEod of agreement between Great
Britain and Germany for the pro-
trcton of neutral ships in the sea
war zone and suggesting that Great
Britain permit the shipment of food
stuffs to German civilians in return
> for the abandonment of mine aad
submarine warfare was also made
public.
!, AS has already been announced in
the newspapers, the British reply is
complete rejection of the proposal.
Germany's conciliatory reply has
been published. Secretary Bryan
also gave out the text of the Amer
lean note on this subject.
Remedy With Congress.
In the light of the official CORES
pondence between the United States
and Great Britain and her allies
made public today on the rights of
American commerce, opinion is fast
crystalizing here that the remedy for
the situation must be looked for from
: congress. Until the views of Great
: Britain were proclaimed today, there
had been strong hope in official
circles that the troublesome issues
: raised might be settled through
diplomacy by reasonable conces-
!, siOns.
Some of the state department Of
ficials said tonight that perhaps
Great Britain might still exercise the
discretion suggested in her order in
council in favor of American ship
ping. Other officials were equally
positive that an impasse had been
!, reached that only congressional ac-
ton could maintain the dignity and
: assert properly and agressively the
rights of the United States under the
international law. and in conformity
r with the treaties between the United
States and the allies.
