GERMANS NEEDS RIGA.
Baltic Port Necessary to Make Recent
Victories Substantial.

London, Sept. 1.-THE immediate OBJ
jective Of tho Austro-German cam
paign in Russia becomes clear with the
growing indications that the invaders
need the Baltic gulf.
Field Marshal Won Hlndenberg is ex-
periencing great difficulty in bridging
the portions Of the Dvina held by the
Germans. The current Of the river is
too swift for the construction Of pom
toon bridges under the Russian artil-
lery fire. AS the rainy season comes
on 1t will be more difficult for the
Germans to bring up supplies and con-
sequently the seizure Of Riga becomes
necessary.
The urgency Of the capture Of 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 cap
ture the port. making OF their winter
home prepare tory to marching on
Petrograd 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 have brought the ad-
vanse almost to "a standstill. The right
wing Of the Teutonic allies iss aid to
be contemplating an attack on Kiev
with Field Marshal Won Mackensen In
command.
