in the ascendency, but both Petrograd
and Berlin emphasize the increasing
danger of Riga's position From the
southwest the Germans are nearing the
village of Ola, which is only twelve
miles from Riga. They are also in
creasing their hold along the Dvina
river. to the southeast Of the city, be-
ing in that quarter within eight miles
of their goal. The Russians assert that
the German attacks in the region OF
Ola were repulsed, but the Germans
are bombarding the Riga-Dvinsk rail-
way beyond Dvina, interfering with the
forwarding of Russian reinforcements.
According to dispatches from Christi

ments Of Liquor For Iowa.

Carpenter, OF the United States dis
trict court, restraining officials Of the
Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific Rail-
way Company from refusing to accept
and deliver consignments Of liquor In
points in Iowa and to agents Of the
consignees. cE the written order Of the
latter.
A plea against making the injunction
permanent was made yesterday by c.
A. Robbins, assistant attorney general
or Iowa. on the ground that the court
order compelled the railroad officials
to violate the law Of the state Of Iowa,
which directs. that liquor consignments
must be received by the consignees in
person. !.
The order of the court provides that
the consignees must designate the
draymen or other carrier who is to re-
.ceive the liquor and that the shipment
must be marked for personal use and
private consumption.
The order sets forth that the state is
not entitled to the relief prayed for in
the intervention. A temporary in
junction was granted six weeks ago.

OF the United States navy department.
At the time of tho announcement Of
successful wireless telephony from
Arlington to Mare island, Panama,
San Diego, and Honolulu on Sept. 20,
Chief Engineer John J. Carly of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company said that the achievement
demonstrated the possibility of trans
Atlantic wireless telephony from Wash
ington or New York to London, Paris,
and other European capitals.
He stated that were it not for the
conditions Of war existing in Europe
the accomplishment OF trans Atlantic
wireless telephony would undoubtedly
have preceded that much more diff.
cult feat Of transmission to Honolulu.
Speech was transmitted to Paris a
week ago, and the feat has been re-
peated several times, but announce
ment Of the news was Delayed thru
courtesy to the French government.
simultaneously with the reception at
Paris, speech sent out from Arlington
was received on the wireless antennae
at the Western Electric laboratories at
New York and at the temporary station
of the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company at Pearl Harbor navy
yard, Honolulu.
The operator at Honolulu reported
that he heard the conversation thru
out the entire schedule and that Mr..
Webb's voice was easily recognized
When Mr.. Carty's engineers began
work on the long distance wireless
telephone experiment, Observers H. Z.
Shreeve and A. NJ. Curtis were also
sent to Paris where, thru the courtesy
OF the French government, which was
apprised of the nature of the work to
be undertaken, limited facilities for
listening at the Eiffel tower station
were placed at their disposal
The amount of time available in
Paris for the wireless telephone ex-
per!n.ents was 60 limited as to cnnsti-
tute serious handicap. Added to this
was the fact that all communication
between Mr.. Shreve and engineers in
America had to be by code and was
subject to long delays.

FOR CIVIL OFFICIALS
Military Authorities Have Done All
That Is Legally Possible, and Appeal
From Governor Is Necessary to Es-
tablish Military Zone or Declare
Martial Law-Carranza Troops Take
Drastic Measures Against outlawry.

Action For Civil Authorities.
Officials explained today that the
army was doing all it legally could to
check the border bandit raids. The sit
uation, they said was not a military
one but a civil one. under the jurisd die
tion of Texas. Unless the governor
should ask protection there is no au-
thority to establish a military zone.
Army detachments may repel at
tacks but can not go beyond that with
out additional authority. War depart
ment officials will give every possible
aid to civil authorities in protecting
towns and ranches.
Justice Department to Assist.
The department OF justice will de-
tail more agents along the Mexican
border Immediately to cooperate with
the war and treasury department

ory conferred with President Wilson
Eand announced that the number, of de.
partment of justice agents would b.
increased.

Huerta, now held prisoner at Fort
Bliss, the attorney general said that he
expected that evidence would be laid
before the grand jury within the next
few weeks in an effort to obtain an in
dictment on a charge of attempting to
violate the neutrality laws of the
United States.
No request for the extradition of
Huerta had been received from the
Mexican government, he said.

London, Oct. 22.-Serbia's military
position is critical. Hammered by SUI
perior forces on two sides. her armies
are threatened with being crushed as
no army has been crushed during the
war. Not only are these facts admit
ted In England, France and Russia, but
they are reflected in official Serbian
dispatches. The hope remains that the
French and English force can relieve
this pressure.
The Bulgarians are now battling
under the eyes Of King Ferdinand. Not
withstanding the presumably modern
artillery Of the Austrians and Germans,
it is the flank attack by the Bulgarians
which seems the most menacing to the
Serbians.
Tsutons Held in Check.
At few places are the Teutons as
much as twenty miles south of the
Danube. In fact the ground gained
averages depth Of only ten miles. The
Bulgarians for their part are display
ing tremendous effort. indicative OF
carefully laid plans. With twenty miles
of the Ntsh-S -Salonih railroad in their
hands they have strategic advantage.
The movement Of entente troops Is
carefully covered. but II any consid-
erable force has been detailed for the
task Of doing for Serbia what England
attempted to do for Belgium. It must be
heard from soon.
otrsaslGla Not TaIsn.
From sofia and Saloniki come de-
malls that the Bulgarians have lost
Strumtz. This means that Bulgarian
soil is still FREQ from invasion. It is
reported that Turkish cavalry is co.
operating with the Bulgarians and that
a great battle Is raging at the Mace
donian town Of Veleze. where the Serbs
won victory over the Turks in the
Balkan war Of 1912. According to an
unofficial report the Bulgarians have
taken the town.
Greece still hesitates. England's Of
fer OF Cyprus and according to report.
q considerable extension Of territory
along the Aegean sea. have brought no
outward change in the situation.
The Times says this morning it un-
derstands that Greece has rejected the
offer or Great Britain to cede the island

in the war by Greece on the side Of the
allies.
