VICTORY Is REGARDED
AS HIrRNlNG 0E m


PETROGRAD August % (Via Lon
don).-The statement made in the
! Duma tonight by the president OF the
chamber. NJ. Rodzianko. that the Ger
man fleet had been defeated at Riga
with the loss OF the battle cruiser
Moltke and three other cruisers and
seven torpedo boats. elected unbound
ed enthusiasm. The people regard the
reported victory as the turning of the
tide.
The effect of the destruction OF a
German dreadnought by a British sub
marine. it is expected here, will have
beneficial result and tend to dissipate
largely the cloud of discontent over
the apparent inaction OF the western
allies. The Russian government and
the military and naval authorities have
a complete understanding with the al
lied governments. but it is Impossible
to take the people entirely into their
confidence.
The naval successes combined with
favorable news from the Dardanelles,
the declaration OF war against Turkey
by Italy. the reported clearing OF the
diplomatic atmosphere in the Balkans
and Foreign Minister Sazonoff's cate
gorical denial that there is the slight
tSl LOT lne unueECuFrenl
talk OF separate peace by Russia. Is
expected to react beneficially for the
military operations.
With tens of thousands OF refugees
reaching the interior from all the war
theaters. the resources of the govern
ment and of the public are being taxed
to their utmost. Naturally there Is
considerable privation. The president
OF the Armenian central committee at
Titis has telegraphed the Duma that
100000 refugees have reached the Cau-
casus. He adds that the Armenian
population in the vilayets occupied by
the Turkish forces have virtually been
eNtermnated.
The Duma has by virtually unani-
nous vote decided to interpollate the
government concerning the collision
between the police and workinsmen
and their families in the factory town
of Kostrowa July Is. The government
report says that mine workingmen
were wounded. The Socialist Democra-
tic deputy who proposed the question
stated that twelve persons were
killed and forty-nve wounded.

Turkey. according to the consul
general, is on the eve of an era of

future for American-made goods
France, Belgium, Germany and Italy

been securing q great deal of 1t be-
cause these nations extend credit He
declares that the merchants of Con-
stantinople for instance. are as hon
est as the average American mer-
chants, and there is no reason why
American exporters should force cash
in advance. He urges the establish
ment Of an American banking insti-
tuition IN the capital city. and direct
steamship facilities The lack OF the
latter Is a present serious obstacle

The American Chamber of Com.
merce for the Levant, with its several
branches, Mr.. Ravnal says is doing
splendid missionary work for the
American exporters, stepping in where
the consul must stop In personal work,
and It deserves cordial support from
home There are branches OF the
chamber at barcelona Milan. Mos,
