NAVAL CLASH IS imminent
Fighting on Wings of Eastern Front
Severe-lnvaders Are Tangled in
SWamps--French Plans Mystify
Artillery Duel in West.

London, Sept. 6.-The menace to
Riga, an important Russian seaport in
the Baltic, is becoming more serious.
The Germans still hold the bridge
head at Friedrichstadt, the occupation
of which effectively cuts off Riga's
railway communication to the south,
while German air craft are active in
the gulf, perhaps presaging another
naval clash as part of concerted Ger
man movement from land and sea to
complete the isolation of the city and
force its abandonment by the Rus
slams.
According to an unofficial Berlin
dispatch, received by way of Copen-
hagen, the Germans claim possession
of the gudf, the Russians having aban-
doned Dagoe, the northernmost of the
three islands just outside the gulf.
Fighting on both wings of the east
ern front proceeds with much greater
vigor than the struggle in the center,
where the invaders apparently are
having difficulty in trackless swamps.
In the south, near the Galician border,
fortune fluctuates, first one side and
then the other claiming successes. The
main offensive, however, still lies with
the Austrians and Germans.
