Begun by TeutOns in Hopes to Offset
Western Success of French
- and British
ASSOCIATED Press)

While the British offensive came to
a temporary pause with the gains eff
fected yesterday everywhere held, a
situation holding big possibilities has
developed on the Russian front. The
landing of German troops on the
islands of Oesel and Dago, at the en-
trance to the Riga gulf, is reported
from Petrograd. From the shores
edge at Haphal, opposite. Dago island,
a railroad runs direct to Reval, the
Russian naval base and thence to
Petrograd. The island has been of i'm
portance to the Russian bases partic-
ularly for airplane activities. Theii
seizure you'd undoubtedly hamper
Russian naval scout work, close the
Gulf of Riga to the Russians and ap-
parently offer an excellent starting
point for land expedition against
Petrograd. 1t is believed the latenesS.
of the season woul dnot permit that
now, however.
Heavy rain continues in Flanders.
The Germans failed to attack
last night The Teutons attacked sew
earl times on the Aisne front but
were repulsed.

London, Oct. 13.-The Germans
have landed troops on the islands of
Oesel and Dago, in the Gulf of Riga,
according to Petrograd dispatch to
Reuters. These islands are at the en-
trance of the gulf and provide easy
access to the mainland. by informed

Copenhagen, Oct. 13.-The German
reichstag adjourned leaving the lat
ent crisis which observers believe
sooner or later will lead to the retire
ment of the chancellor. Recent arri-
walls from Berlin say that Chancellor
Michaelis cannot last a month.
TEUTON LOSSES TREMENDOUS
Unmistakable intimation of great
losses of the Germans in the Flanders
fighting is contained in the latest
comment of the military critic of the
Berlin Tagesblatt. He reviews the
loss of .fve-sixths of theroficers and
one-third of the men in certain battles
in the war of 1870. and adds that the
losses in this conflict often exceed
those.

BREEZY AFFAIR
At THE BIJOU

'1Zzy" and company are going UP
high in the social whir1 in the new
show starting tonight. It's to be an
altitudinous affair if the title counts
for anything. "Izzy" has given it the
attractive non de plume of "0n the
Roof Garden" where the bright lights
glow and the freshening breeZes blow
and they sip refreshing beverages and
spend all their stored up energy in the
estate whirl of such mixtures as the
fox trot, the one step, the hesitation
and their ilk of terpschorean feats.
Anyway, no matter what the sur
roundings or the atmosphere "Izzy"
promises a breezy, up to the minute
musical comedy with the usual line OF
fun, patter and vaudeville stunts that
have made his company so popular in
the first month of their Honolulu en-.
gagement. -..-
The inimitable chicks will dance
their way further into the hearts of
the audience by the way of new song
hits and new costuming, while the
principals have arranged plenty of
new "stuff" that puts to rout the
blue devils" and brings good cheer
instead. Some clever and entertain
ing musical features are on the pro-
gram while the ever popular women
of the cast, Ethel Davis, Betty But
trick and Jessie Pehhy, will surpass all
previous efforts.

THEATER PEOPLE
GIVE $4,000 TO
LIBERTY LOAN

Fun and stirring patriotism each
had its place at the Biiou theater last
night where the Monte Carter Co..
playing to a PACKED house uproarious
with laughter, yielded the stage to
the Liberty loan and Judge J. J..
Banks, who announced that the en-
ployes of the Consolidated Amusement
Co. and the Monte Carter players
themselves had subscribed more than
$4,000 to the loan. Deafening applause
greeted this announcement. Judge
Banks, in his address which followed
was frequently interrupted to wait for
the house to grow quiet again. This
was particularly 50 when he said:
The flag in whose honor you have
Just risen to your feet represents
freedom, right and liberty-it repre-
sents America. 1t has never been
dragged in the dust of defeat 1t never
will be, and this time our boys will
plant it on the high towers of Berlin. )"
Judge Banks closed his address with
an appeal for everybody to help fight
the war by buying Liberty bonds, and
the girls of the chorus passed through
the aisles and collected the applica-
lions that had been filed out.
Time and again the patriotism and
appreciation of the audience mani
tested itself in generous applause for
the speaker who by his glowing de-
scription of Americas pledge TO up
hold at all times the principles of
personal liberty and political free
dom moved his hearers to a
deep-seated feeling of their RESPONSE
bilities to aid the men in the trenches.
