GERMANS MAY TAKE RIGA
Menace to Baltic Seaport Becomes
More Serious.-Concerted Land
and Sea Attack Expected.

London.-The menace to Riga, the
Russian Baltic sea port, Is becoming
more serious. The Germans still hold
the bridgehead at Friedrichstadt, the
occupation of which effectively cuts
off the Riga's railway communication
to the south, while German aircraft
are active in the gulf, perhaps pre-
saying another naval clash as part of
a concerted German land and sea
move to complete the isolation Of the
city and force its abandonment by
the Russians.
According to an unofficial Berlin
dispatch, received by way of Copen-
hagen, the Germans claim possession
of the gulf, the Russians having aban-
doned Dago Island, the northernmost
Of the three islands, just outside the
gulf.
Berlin's official communication on
Sept. 6 claims no further progress by
Won Hindenburg from the Baltic to
Grodno, but thence southwark the
armies Of Prince Leopold and Field
Marshal Won Mackensen are said to
be moving forward, while the Aus
trian official statement covering the
battle line farther south and east re
cords nothing but Teutonic gains.

Washington.-The note of Germany
on the sinking of the Arabic, explain
ing that the commander of the subma.
rine thought the vessel was going to
ram him and that he sank it in self.
defense, has been received at the
State Department. AS the question
whether the Arabic resisted the sub.
marine is something to be established
only by evidence, the State Depart.
ment is now obliged to ascertain the
circumstances for itself. Therefore,
it will be some time before the case
will be 4asettled. Incidentally, the
United StStes has advised Germany
that it will not take up the case Of
the Lusitania until the Arabic incident
has been cleared up to the satisfaction
of the United States.
The State Department has received
affidavits by English and American
citizens on the Arabic. 1t Is a general
agreement that no attempt whateve,
was made to ram the submarine.

STUDY OF ALCOHOL,

That the dangers of alcohol should
be emphasized in every school in the
land, was the opinion voiced by DR..
G. D. Cameron of Ohio, speaking be-
fore the bureau Of sanitary science
Of the American Institute Of Homeo-
pathy. While the schools had touched
upon the subject somewhat, he said,
it remained for the European wal to
set forth "the true relation Of this
demoralizer of human efficiency"
THE utter desolation alcohol ere.
ates In the home makes 1t like war;"
he asserted. Like war, it digs the
untimely grave. 1t %pauperizes.
Through h~eredity it creates the neu-
rotic. 1t damns and degenerates
wherever 1t comes in contact with
the human tissue. 1t paves the way
for tuberculosis and is first assistant
in disseminating the diseases of vice.
Yet the schools do not manifest the
strong interest in this subject which
Its importance in social science de-
serves. Let the forces Of enlightenment
array themselves where the enemies
of society are making their strong
est attack. The schools should teach
that good health Is life's greatest a.
set"

FUTURE OF KING ALCOHOL.

The Russian minister of finance Of
fers $780, 500 in prizes for the discov-
cry of new methods for utilizing alco-
hol. Three prizes totaling $4,000, will
be given for the discovery of new de-
naturizing substances, the improve
ments to be such as will guarantee a
general use and make alcohol abso-
lutely unfit for use as a beverage.
T%wenty-one prizes, totaling $337,500.
are offered for suggestions for adding
to and improving the uses of spirits
for heating, lighting, motive power
and in the industrial branches of
chemical technology. The largest
single prize Of $4,000 supplemented
by two other prizes totaling 100000
is offered for an invention relating to
the utilization of spirits in internal
combustion engines; the production Of
such substances as vinegar, ether,
c%hloroform, dissolving agents, fuel,
lighting, etc.
Russia's wise and practical policy
with regard to King Alcohol points to
the time when that most powerful en-
envy of the human race from the begin
ming of time shall be transformed into
valued servant and friend. Thus dc
we become more than %conquerors."

ANOTHER LINER TORPEDOED
German Submarine Sinks Canadian
Liner Hesperian Bound for Mont
.real.-26 Reported Drowned.

London.-The Allan Line steamer
H~esperian, with $50 passengers and a
crew Of 300 aboard, bound from Liver
pool for Montreal, was attacked. 1t is
believed, without warning by a Ger
man submarine of the Irish coast just
as darkness was falling on the even
ing OF Sept. 4.
Six second cabin passengers, six
third cabin passengers and 13 Of the
crew are unaccounted for. This
brings the probable death list, includ-
ing Miss Carberry Of st. Johns, New
Foundland, whose body Is here, up
to 26.
No submarine was seen and prob
ably it was toe dark to observe the
wake of a torpedo, but passengers
and members OF the crew, who ar
rived at Queenstown in rescue steam
ers agree that the attack was made
by a German undersea boat, basing
their opinion on the force of the shock
and the great volume Of water thrown
into the air.
The force OF the explosion was tre-
mendous. OF the passengers landed
at Queenstown about 20 were injured.
There were no American passengers
aboard, so far as the American consul
could learn, except two members OF
the crew. Both were saved.
About 80 Canadian soldiers, wound
ed in Flanders, were going home to
recuperate. Most of the other pas
sengers were Canadians, returning
from a visit to England, or English
people on their way to Canada to
settle.
The torpedo struck the Hesperian
in the forward engine room and the
ship Immediately began to settle to
the head. Capt. Main ordered the
passengers and crew into the boats,
but with his officers remained on the
bridge, although at that time he must
have felt sure that his ship would go
down.
The discipline was perfect, but one
boat capsized and those in her were
thrown into the water. All were pick
ed up, and with other passengers and
the crew were transferred to rescue
steamers, which arrived In answer to
wireless calls.
Passengers landed at Queenstown
asserted that the attack was without
warning. The United States embassy
here received no confirmation on this
point. The American consul at
Queenstown telegraphed the embassy,
however, that there were one or two
Americans aboard, adding that none
was lost.
The Hesperian was a vessel Of TO-
900 tons gross.

Brownsville. Texas.-Two Mexican

London.-The Zeppelin raid on Lon.
don on the night Of Sept. 5 resulted
In the death OF 20 persons and the
injury Of Sc others, according to Off
cial announcement made here. This
makes a total Of 80 persons killed and
129 injured in the raids on two sue
cessive nights.
The most alarming features OF this
latest visit of the Zeppelins, however,
was that they invaded the heart OF
the city-the western part-Wherein
are located such landmarks as St.
James Palace, Westminster Abbey,
the Parliament buildings. the Charing
Cross railroad station, the fashionable
residential districts, and, on the edge,
the great factories and warehouses.
This fact Is not contained in the
meager accounts Of the raid issued by
the Official press bureau, and, as here
tofore, the newspapers are allowed to
publish only such information as is
given out. The information, however.
is given in the following official Ger
man statement received here:
"Our naval airships attacked during
the nights of Sept. s and 8 the western
part of the city Of London, the great
factories near Norwich and the harbor
works and iron works at Middlesboro.
There were heavy explosions and nu-
merous fires were observed. Our air
ships were heavily fired at by hostile
batteries. but all returned safely
During the previous night othT es-
Establishments in London and vidnlty

WATER FOR CHRISTENING.

! 1U VII
There seems to be some CONFUSION
on the part of certain good people con-
corning the attitude of the W. c. T. U.
with regard to the christening Of ships
with champagne. The Outlook said
editorially: THE opposition Of ex'
IRENE temperance advocates has al
ways been difficult to understand" 1t
contends that inasmuch as "a bottle
smashed on the bow of a battleship is
one bottle that can never be drunk,
such an event ought to be regarded az
another blow to the consumption OF
liquor"
Miss Anna A. Gordon, president OF
the National Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, being asked to give the
white-ribboners' viewpoint, said: "Our
friends, the 'nonextremists,' are taking
a narrow and superficial view of the
question. They are losing sight Of the
symbolism of the rite itself. Consider
the root meaning Of the word christen.
ing. One of the dictionary definitions
Of to christen is, to name, as a ship
by a ceremony likened to baptism AL.
ways baptism in the Christian econ
omy has been with water. If in day.
gone by spirituous liquors were sup
posed to give long life and to bring
good luck, the revelations OF science
have thoroughly exploded that theory.
Water is a symbol of life, alcohol a
symbol of disease, destruction and
death, the enemy Of life and Of eff
cheney; hence the christening of any
ship with champagne is an absurdity
and an a~nachronism."
