Petrograd, Oct. 22.-All munition-

the victorious Germans advance by
land and sea east Of Riga.
The civilian population of cities be
tween Riga and Petrograd are enter
ing the cities in large numbers and
are being sent on their way to Mos
cow.
Their terror has sprung partly from
the bombing Of towns within fifty
miles of Riga by Zeppelins, brought
overland by the opening of the rail
road from Berlin to Riga. Many
scores of women and children have
lost their lives from bombs.
A semi official news agency tele-
gram today states that Esthonians
who escaped from Oesel and Moon
islands report Russian prisoners be
ing loaded into boats by Germans, who
tell them that they have no food for
them. They are then shot by the
Teutons, who turn shore battery guns
on them.
The Russian navy seems to have
outwitted superior force Of Ger
mans and to have retired from Moon
sound without losses, and is now pro-
tecting the northern entrance to the
