said recruiting had fallen off all over

same rate they were earlier in the
month because they believed they
would be conscripted anyway and
therefore would not volunteer. He
thought. tho. that the district would
have its quota enlisted by June 5, altho
in the last ten days the district has
been furnishing only forty recruits a
day when il should be furnishing sew

naval staff or the German sailors, still
imbued with spirit of mutiny, inten-

the Russians clear path into the Gulf

Whatever the explanation, the vic

disintegrating effect upon German nav

dered the participation of his huge ar

hoping for naval victory that might
counteract the effect of the recent mu-

however, far more than the navy, that
resulted in the capture of the Gulf of
Riga islands.
The navy failed in its primary OBJ
jective of annihilating the inferior
Russian fleet. That failure contains the
seed for further dissatisfaction in Ger
many with the Hohenzollern rule and
of further eruptions in the kaiser s
