RUSSIAN TROOPS ON RIGA FRONT DISPLAY MORE AND MORE
STUBBORNNfSS AS THEY RETREAT
ASSOCIATED Press)

Despite the retreat of the Russians
on the Riga front, there are indica-
tions that the Germans will hardly
risk advancing further because of the
lateness of the season. 1t is intimated
that the Germans will be satisfied in
safeguarding what they have won. An
unofficial dispatch says the Russians
defending Dvinsk are showing bet
ter fighting spirit there than on
any other front.
The absence of important coopera-
ton of the German navy with the
army lends color to the report that
the German advance is about to halt.
Petrograd reports German craft seen
again in the Gulf of Riga, but appar-
ent they were only trawlers accom-
papying the submarines, and were
driven off by coast artillery.
Only local infantry operations are
, reported in France and on the Bel
gian front. Paris reports unsuccessful
German attacks in Lorraine, east Of
Rheims and on the Aisne front.
Vienna says the Austrians regain
ed all ground lost in the Hermada
section and took 5000 prisoners.
