are thus marking time it is daily be-
coming more apparent that sever
ance of diplomatic relations between
the United States and Germany is the
course that the president and his ad-
visers have in mind in the event of
action becoming necessary
Already considerable discussion is
being heard in Washington as to the
practical effect that would follow from
such a course. The severing of the
diplomatic ties between the two gov
ernments would not in itself be an act
OF war and would not necessarily lead
| to a more serious rupture. If the
president recalls Ambassador Gerard
and hands Count Von\ Bernstorf his
passports, it would be for the purpose
| Of recording before the world the fact

able to continue diplomatic relations
with Germany Having done this, the
| purpose Of the president would have
been accomplished for the time being,
but then there would arise the ques-
ton of protecting Americans on the
| high seas in the future. If Germany
should continue her submarine cam
paign the United Staes, as Washing
ton views the outlook, would have diff
ficulty in preventing the situation
from developing into more serious pro-
portions.

Saturday Italy formally declared
war against Turkey. This action has

Battle Cruiser Moitke, Three Cruisers
and Seven Torpedo Boats SAID to
Have Been Put Out of Commission.
Force of 5000 German Troops
Which Landed at Pernov Bay Re-
ported Exterminated.
London, Aug %. = Russian naval
forces in the Gulf of Riga have won
q decided victory over the German
fleet which penetrated the gulf on
Aug. Is, according to official Petro-
grad dispatches. The great German
tattle cruiser Moltke was destroyed
ry the Russian ships, as we'll as three
German cruisers and seven torpedo
toats, allunnamed.
1t would appear from the Petroggrad
dispatches that the. admiral in COM
mand Of the Russian naval forces in
the Gulf of Riga permitted the Cor
man fleet to work it's way through the
narrow entrance to the gulf, when he
directed the attack that cost the Ger
mans so dearly. Not only, according
to Petrograd, did the Russian fleet
Cverwhelm the German forces, but,
having destroyed the bulwark of the
German battle line finally drove the in
vaders to fee from the gulf into the
comparatively open waters of the Bal
tic sea.
But the Russian victory did not end
with the defeat of the German naval
forces. The invading feet was accom-
panied by. four transports, all
crammed with troops These troops
attempted to make a landing on the
shore of Pernov bay, on the northeast
ern shoulder of the Gulf of Riga.
Either the accompanying warships
" ere unable to support the landing of
the troops or the Russian strategy in
some way overcame the advantage of
German naval guns, for the troops
were permitted to land and were then
attacked and exterminated by the
Russian forces at that point.
The Petrograd dispatches say that
the Russian troops at Pernov did not
even have the support of artillery.
Furthermore, they were taken COM
pletely by surprise. How they accom-
| plished the utter defeat of a force
which must nave numbered some
5000 men aided by the gun fire of con
Voying warships and later captured
| the transports as well, is not ex-
planned.
The account of Russian successes
in the Gulf of Riga was supplied by
the president of the duma, M. Rodsi-
anko, at Petrograd. Nothing, accord,
ing to the dispatches. was said re
specting the Russian losses during the
naval engagement or while the Ger
mans were attempting to land body
of men on the Pernov bay.
Nothing respecting the operations
in this region has been cabled from
Berlin, but the official German state
ment issued Saturday announced thTt
the gulf had been entered successfully
and that the Russian naval forces had
lost two gunboats and one torpedo
boat.
The fact that the Germans sought
to land troops at Pernov bay is seized
as one of unusual significance by the
military critics here. The town o
Pernov is ninety-five miles north o
Riga and 230 miles east of Petrograd
1t is far removed from the scene o
the past German operations in thu
Baltic provinces and in the mind o
observers here can indicate but on
thing-a determination to strike a
Petrograd itself,
