BELIEVE HESPERIAN

Berlin, Sept S.-Reports that no
lives were lost in the sinking of the
Allan liner Hesperian have created
the most favorable impression in ma

practice the new rules announced
through Ambassador Bernstorff.
Officials, however, are not willing
to accept the English report that the
Hesperian was torpedoed and are
Withholding comment until they hear
from their submarine commanders. A
portion of the press believes that the
Hesperian was sunk by mine OF
ficials are still reticent in discussing
the Arabic case, no report hav-
ing been received, but the public

London, Sept S-The immediate
objective of the Austro-German cam
paigu in Russia becomes clearer with
the growing indications that the in
vaders need the Baltic port of Riga
not only as a base for present opera
tions in the direction of Petrograd,
but also as winter quarters in case
the attempt to reach the Russian cap
ital should be postponed until next
spring.
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is eX-
periencing great difficulty in bridging
the parts of the Dyina held by the
Germans. The current of the river is
too swift for the construction of pom
toon bridges under Russian artillery
fire. As the rainy season comes on 1t
will be more difficult for the invaders
to bring up supplies for their advance
forces and consequently the seizure
of Riga as a base becomes more
vital to the success of Won linden

To Riga, Army Order Says.

The urgent necessity of capturing
Riga is indicated in an army order
which a Paris newspaper credits TO
General Won Buelow. The general
exhorts his troops to one more great
effort to capture the port, making it
their winter home preparatory TO
marching on Petrcgrad next spring.
Along the other sectors of the East
ern front the impetus of the Austro-
German rush has been considerably
checked. Vienna admits that fierce
counter attacks by the Russians have
brought the advance along the Cali
clan border almost to sstandstill.
The right wing of the Austro-German
forces is said to be contemplating an
attack on Kiev, with Field Marshal
Won Mackensen in command
No exceptional actions have occur
red on any of the minor fronts. The
great artillery bombardment of the
French continues along the Western
line
