PETROGRAD, Sept. 5.-How the
battalion of death (Russia's fighting
women soldiers) threw back German
assaults over a front of fifth Of
mile out of Riga and inspired their
comrades to hold firm against further
advances, was told in front dispatches
received today.
The battalion of death made it's
heroic stand at critical moment in
the battle when pursuing German
forces had advanced to the point
where they seriously menaced the
line. It resisted the shock Of the
enemy assault and then drove the
Germans back.
Exceptional valor" was credited
to the battalion OF death and other
Russian units today in semi-official
dispatches At several points their
bayonets stood firm and hacked as
saulting waves to pieces.
All efforts of the Russian command
today were directed toward the pos
sibility Of extricating Russian troops
in the trap northwest of Riga into
which they were forced by the evacu-
alton of that city and the subsequent
rapid German purusit.
"Our lines will be considerably
shortened by the evacuation" said a
semi official front dispatch today, ex-
pressing optimism over the situation,

encircIement. We are retiring in per-
