LONDON, October L. Big Germans
offens Jes are underway in the Riga
and Dvinsk regions on the East front
and in the Champagne on the West
front. The Germans are making no
progress, however, in the latter district.
The position of Riga grows more
precariOus each hour. Field Marshal
Won Hindcnburg is advancing agalnst
this port on seventy mile front and
is already half way between Riga and
Mitau. This latter city is a short dis.
tance southeast of Riga.
The Germans have succeeded finally
in forcing passage over tn" Dvina river
and now occupy both hanks from Bor
kOwitz to Dersemucns
Riga Seems Doomed
The evacuation of Riga by the Rus.
slams is expected shortly, for it is
thought the tide of Won ILindenburg Z
offensive will be too much for the de
Tenders of the port.
Dispatches ON the fighting in the
Dvinsk region do not mention gains
for the Germans, so it is presumed the
Russian are holding their own.
They are doing more than holding
their own in Galicia. What appears tC
be an offensive of great magnitude il
being made by the Russians there. il
, is reported that phey have ycarrict
German positions at Baronovichi, an i'm
portant railway junction, and have cap
tured 5000 prisoners.
Russian Succ esses Elsewhere
Ten machine guns and a piece OF
heavy artillery also have been taken
Gains also have been made at Volhyni
The Russians also are said to be con
tinuing their successes in the Middle
Styr district and south Of the Pripe
marshes.
,PetrOg al denies the Russian attack
can be interpreted as offensives.

evening. Paris, like Honolulu, is an

not known until yesterday, consequent
ly, whether the test had been success,
ful, as cable advices from Paris saving

means of establishing this. Cable ad-
vices came, however, AS the radogram

would indicate
Talk Lasts Half Hour
The talk to Paris, as caught here,
lasted about half an hour. 1t took
place between seven and seven. thirty
O'Clock. 1t consisted of repetition of
short sentences AS follows.

"Do you hear mei'

several times.
After the test the following nota

very distinct.'
Another Chat Last Night
Last night Arlington was talking
again to Paris. The sentences being
sent approximately three thousand
miles over the sea were heard here,
across another sea, approximately five
thousand miles away, Two men were
talking this time to Par,s. One of
them recited MARY Had Little

Words spoken into wireless telephone
apparatus have been heard farthest in
the test recently conducted between
Arlington and Honolulu, when messages
here were heard and SO reported by

Mr.. Espenschied was asked if it
would be possible to talk 5000 miles
the approximate distance from Homo

not been done it undoubtedly would
be, as the difficulty in extending the

STOCK FOR INVESTMENT;
-, = ONE SHARE OR MORE

Millions of dollars have been sent
out OF Hawaii in the last five years
for mining, Gil, rubber and'many other
kinds of stocks, and local people have
bought largely CT these rainbow ven
lures partly because Of the people
associated with the propositions, part
" fer the reason that the man or
small means cannot figure out a SUM-
cient income from a four or six per
cent stock; he feels that if he is to
really arrive at a competence he must
take long shot on the chance that
he will realize four or five hundred
per cent on his speculation. But the
people are arriving at astime OF calmer
Judgment, and men and women are
more patient in their consideration OF
what constitutes real investment at
a fair margin of profit.
There is now being offered for sale
in Hawaii the first preferred stock of
the Pacific Gas & Electric Company
of California. This stock is on sale
at the minimum rate fixed by the rail
read commission of California, $3.50
per share, at which price, the pal
value being 500. it nets the investor
7.27 per cent. This dividend is pay
able quarterly, and it is as certain and
safe as a government bond. If it is
desired, this stock may be subscribed
for on the instaIment plan at the
rate of $3.50 per quarter. Subscrip-
tons will be received for one shore
or more of this giltedged stock by the
