Third Largest Seaport Of Russia Now
Easy Prey to kaiser's Army as Re-
suit Of Voluntary Retreat Of the be
tenders Of the Stronghold.

London, Sept. 4.--Riga, Russia's
principal Baltic port, has been aban-
doned to the Germans under the threat
OF an offensive by land and sea, in
which the deciding stroke on the land
side was delivered by the Germans
Saturday. Some Russ detachments
voluntarily left their positions and are
retiring toward the north
The fate of Riga was virtually seal
ed when German troops, powerfully
Initiating their offensive, forced a
crossing of the Dvina, southeast of
the city, and began to push northward
after making good their foothold on
the right bank of the stream.
Menaced also by the attack of a
column of Teutonic forces moving
from Mitau, southwest of Riga, and
by the German naval forces recently
reported lowering in the vicinity of.
the Gulf Of Riga, the Russian military
authorities evidently considered the
city no longer tenable and decided to
eyacuate it.
The possible ultimate military con-
sequences of this development are
difficult to estimate. The right flank
of the entire Russian Western front
was anchored on the Gulf of Riga at
a point west of the city and with this
anchorage apparently lost the possible
strategical developments of the Sit
uation seem infinite.
Riga City Of Halt Million.
Riga, capital of the government of
Livonia, had a population of more
than 100000 persons before the war.
and aside from Petrograd was the
most important Russian commercial
and industrial town having access to
the Baltic. The port is icebound dur
ing virtually one-third of. the year. It
had very large German population
before the opening of hostilities and
its commercial standing is Indicated
by the fact that it was the third sea-
port OF Russia, only Petrograd and
Odessa exceeding it in importance.
The Germans long have had their
eyes upon Riga and at the close of
the great campaign Of 1915, when Po-
land was overrun and large sections
of Russian soil occupied by the Teu-
tonic forces, an effort was made by
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg to
break the line of the Dvina between
Riga and Dvnisk, lilo miles to the
southeast The Russians at that time,
however, were able to hold their grip
On the line, being aided by the advent
OF winter. During last year no seri-
Gus offensive was undertaken by the
Germans on the Northern front, their
energies in the Eastern war being di-
rected elsewhere in resisting the Brus-
siloff offensive and in the Roumanian
campaign
