RUSS|A'S STUBBORN
HOLD ON RIGA
TOWN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
IN CAMPAIGN PLANS OF THE
TEUTONS
ASSOCIATED Press)

London, Sept. THE need to the
Austro-Germans of Riga makes clear
er the immediate objective of the
campaign. Riga is needed not only
as a base for present operations, but
as winter quarters in case the at
tempt to reach Petrograd is postpon-
ed until spring. Hindenburg is ex-
periencing difficulty in bridging the
Dvina. The current of the river is too
swift to construct pontoons under the
Russian fire.
The urgent necessity of capturing
Riga is indicated in an army order
which Paris newspaper credits to
General Won Buelow, exhorting the
troops to greater effort to take the
town.
Along other sections of the East
ern front the Austro-German advance
has been checked.
The German admiralty has an
nounced that a small British cruiser
was sunk several weeks ago by the
submarine U-27, off the Hebrides. The
submarine was doubtless lost too.
The English trades union congress
has adopted resolution against con-
scription.

CUTTING RAILWAY
COMMUNICATIONS
Russians Hard Pressed to Hold on to
Riga

London, Sept. Riga, a Russian
Baltic Sea port, is becoming more ser
iously menaced. The Germans still
hold the Friedrichstadt bridgehead.
The occupation of this position effec-
tually cuts off Riga's railway COM
munication. The German aircraft are
active in the gulf. This perhaps,
presages another naval clash, as part
of the concerted German land and sea
move to complete the isolation of the
city, which forces its abandonment by
the Russians. l
According to Berlin dispatch via
Copenhagen, the Germans claim pos
session of the gulf. They assert that
the Russians have abandoned Dago,
the northernmost point of the three
islands just outside of the gulf.
A Berlin official communication
claims. no further progress by Won
Hinderberg from the Baltic Sea to
Grodno. Southwark, however, the
armies of Prince Leopold and Field
Marshal Won MacKensen are said to
be moving forward. The Austrian
statement covering the battle line
further south and tast records only
Teutonic gains.

FRANKS SALE
OPENED WITH A wHOOP

The stock reduction sale now in
progress at Franks opened this morn
ing according to schedule with & big
crowd of eager purchasers in line to
get TO the specials offered for the
openings hours. The "S yards of
crepe for 25 cents" to the first fifty
grown people who entered the store
after 3 o'clock was the drawing card
for many, and this number was dis
posed of in short order. Then, too, the
lace remnant counter had great at
fractions for the feminine customers
and these excellent values were quick
ly thinned out.
To say that the proprietor was
agreeably surprised at the crowds
that have been thronging his store all
day is placing it mild, as he had been
informed by several pessimists that a
big special sale at this season, with
its necessarily large advertising bills,
was just throwing good money after
bad However, he had the faith in
his goods, faith in his advertising and
faith in his ability to deliver the
goods" and these form a combination
that's hard to beat And it won out
in this instance, as Mr.. Frank says
the opening crowds reminded him of
those of several years ago when the
vo y best of conditions existed.

IRRITABLITY A WARNING
One of Natures Danger Signals That
Should be Needed

Are you unduly quick tempered? Do
you find yourself. on slight provOcation.
giving vent TO petty outbursts of an
ger? Are you constantly nagging, fault
finding and complaining?
If chronic irritability is one of your
characteristics it is important for you
to recognize that fact For irritability
is always danger signal. 1t points
to the presence of conditions which
may be disastrous to you unless RENE
dies.
In particular. irritability means that
your nervous system is out of gear.
This may be the result of either phys
ical or mental causes, or a combination
of both. Usually both physical and
mental causes enter in to intensity one
anOther's harmful effects.
Thus the cOmmonest of all causes of
nervous disturbance is worry. Worry,
as Is known, interferes with all the
bodily functions. 1t is especially dam
aging in its influence ON the digestion
When the food is not properly digest
ed the nervous system is poorly nour-
ished and severely strained. 1t is also
in some degree poisoned by the circula-
ton in the blood OF substances which
would otherwise have been removed by
the eliminative organs.
All this causes a nervous tension that
may express itself in chronic CROUCH
ness" or in frequent attacks of bad
temper. These attacks in their turn
cause increased weakening of the di-
gestive powers.
What is nRede,l fO cure bOth flo in
digestion and the irritability is the cul-
tivation of an optimistic attitude The
tendency to worry, look on the dark
side OF things, must he Overcome.-H

ADVICE FROM WILLARD
TO GERMAN AMERICANS
FOrcibIy Reminds Them that There
Can be No Divided Allegiance to
the American Flag

Stockbridge, Mass, Sept. 7.-Os-
wald Garrison Willard, publisher of
the New York Evening Post, in an ad-
dress before the Laurel Hill Associa-
ton here yesterday declared that the
movement among Americans citizens
of foreign, especially German, de-
scent, to form bodies apart from the
citizenship, presented a far reaching
domestic issueN which the American
people must conquer
Mr.. Willard said that an important
factor in the continuance of the Am
erican melting pot, lay in educating
immigrants to the proper duties OF
citizenship. He said he was "born on
German soil, of a German father"
Foreigners becoming American cit
izens should be made to understand,
Mr.. Willard said, that there can be no
divided citizenship or loyalty or alleg-
lance under the American flag; that
no one can accept political obliga-
tions here while at heart loyal to an
other social system, another entity
or another code of laws.
Mr.. Willard said that to allow ma
tionalistic groups to develop in this
county, such as they have in Austria
Hungary, would be most disastrous.
Mr.. Willard said that the present de-
velopment of them was challenge to
American craftsmanship and to "our
loyalty to all things American"

policy of fighting by retreat" while
in some ways very effective, must in

Poland, he said:

everything behind them, they can do
