TWO MILLS MUST CLOSE,

ITrom me Trlbune Bureau. !

Washington, Aug. 21.-The Fort
Wayne Knitting Mills, one of the larg-
est mills of the Middle West, and the
Amoskeag Mills, one of the largest in
New England, have informed the De-
partment of Commerce that they must
close for several weeks because of the
lack of dyestuffs. With the cutting off
of German dyestuffs the American tex
tile industries have been seriously
hampered, and despite the energetic eff
forts of the American manufacturers to
build up a dyestuffs industry it has
been impossible to meet the demands.
The Department of Commerce has
lent every encouragement to the dye
stuffs industry in this country, but re-
ports received from various sections
are to the effect that certain of the
raw materials needed for dye manu-
facture are being cornered by the
manufacturers of explosives. Such is
the case with sulphuric acid and nitric
acid. which are necessary in the manu-
facture of dyestuffs and explosives.

The German Consul General at
Philadelphia warned a firm manufact-
uring munitions that if it supplied the
Allies it would lay itself open to prose-
cution under the German Penal Code,
despite the fact that it was operating
under America. law, says "The World"
to-day, continuing its revelations of
German activity in the United States.
The article in part follows:
"Resumng the publication of the
German Government and their secret

The World to-day presents:
Proof that in furtherance of its

against Polish and Russian attack until
f7l0, when, during the Northern War,
it fell to the Cars forces. In 1896 it
was made the capital of Livonia.
Town Divided by River.
The town is divided into four parts.
On TIC right bank of the Dvina lie the
old yown itself and the Petrograd
and Moscow suburbs. On the left bank
are the Mitau suburbs. The sides are
connected by floating bridge, which is
removed in winter, and by a viaduct
$50 feet long.
Riga still shows traces of its Hanse-
attic days. High storehouses, with deep
cellars and spacious granaries, flank
the narrow, winding streets. The only
open spaces ar, the market place and
two squares. The suburbs, however,
contain broad, quiet boulevards, built
on the sites of what were once forth
fcations. The Petrograd suburbs are
the seat of the German aristocracy, for
Riga's population consists of AZ per

1912. For in that year the French army
came close to the Baltic port, and the
Russians, fearing its capture, burned
the suburbs. The Russians resistance
proved too strong then, as it proved
for the German armies. But the French
had no feet in the gulf to batter the
town while the land forces advanced.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-08-22

With the German feet battling the
Cars warships within the gulf, Riga
seems doomed. Once before the Kaiser's
forces tried to take the Russian port
during the great German drive through
Poland. But the land attack failed, for
the Russians, rallying behind the
swampy valley of the Dvina, convinced
the foe that their single efforts were
futile. Now the enemy ships have
penetrated the gulf the defeat of the
Muscovite fleet is predicted, and with
the German guns bombarding the town
from the gulf, while the land attack is
renewed, the fall of Riga is almost
certain.
Riga is the second port for foreign
trade on the Baltic, ranking only below
Petrograd. Situated eight miles above
the mouth of the Dvina, canals bring
it into communication with the basins
of the Dnieper and the Volga. Rail-
roads bring it into direct touch with
the fertile parts of Southern and
Southwestern Russia. Lying 366 miles
southwest of Petrograd, it is the COM
mercial outlet for vast part Of the
interior of the empire.
From the forests of White Russia
and Volhynia timber is carried to the
great northern mart. From the north
west comes fax, and from West Central
Russia hemp and corn. It's industries
are well developed, and it contains ma
chine factories, oil mills and breweries.
Its exports increased from $3.50, 900

THAW SEEKS SANITY

Asks Condition Be Established

[By Telegraph 10 The Tribune l

Pittsburgh, Aug. 21.-Harry X. Thaw
wants to have his sanity determined in
the local courts to enable him to in
stitute divorce proceedings against his
wife, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw.
He filed an appeal in the Supreme
Court to-day from the decision of the
Orphans Court, which refused him
jury trial over a year ago. At that
time he filed a suit in which he sought
to secure the money which had accrued
from his fathers trust fund during his
Incarceration at Matteawan. The trust
company which has charge of the es-
tate raised the question of his sanity.
Thaw then asked for jury trial. The
court ordered the trust company to
pay over to Thaw the money to defray
his fight for liberty in New York.
1t will be necessary for Thaw to have
his mental condition established in the
local courts before he can institute d.

opening of the German Reichstag is
printed verbatim in the French news

from my hand?"
"He is haunted by the memory of

is a repetition of those made at pre-

definite statement about annexation.

Founded by Bremen Merchants.
Founded in 1853 as a storehouse by
a few Bremen merchants, Riga soon
came under the dominion of the church.
In 1890 an Augustinian monk, Mem
hard, built a monastery there, and in
1899 Bishop Albert | of Livonia got
from Innocent III permission for Ger
man merchants to land at the port. The
bishop. acting with the Teutonic
Knights, soon had complete sway over
Riga and the neighboring territory.
But with increased trade the town
chafed under the clerical yoke. By the
first half Of the thirteenth century it
had elected its own magistracy and
Joined the Hanseatic League. In 1853
it refused to recognize the rights of
the bishop of the knights. But in 1920
the port fell once more under the
bishops rule, and so remained until the
Reformation, in 1866.
In 1547 Sigismund ii, King of Po-
land, seized the town. It's first taste
of battle came in 1858, when the Rus
slams burned the suburbs and the
ships in the Dvina. When Gotthard
Ketteler abdicated the mastership of
the Teutonic Knights, in 1861, Riga be-
came a Polish possession.
Then, in the seventeenth century.
came the real struggle for its control.

Hanseatic port. In 1920 Gustavus

to port.
Our loss of life was small.

For nearly a fortnight a powerful
German squadron was engaged in an
attempt to force an entrance into the
Gulf of Riga to assist the German army
which occupies the western coast Of
the gulf. The Russians asserted that
they repealed on August an attack
delivered by nine German battleships,
twelve cruisers and large number Of
destroyers, but the Germans asserted
this was not a general attack, but
merely a reconnaissance.
Later the Russians announced that
their warships had been drawn in closer
on account of the superiority of the
German squadron. An official communi-
cation received las. night from Petro-
grad said that German fleet had pene-
trated the. gulf and engaged the Rus
sian vessels.
The character Of the vessels sunk

that the chief units of the Russian
