Apparently there has been no ceSsa-
tion in the rapid program of the Ger
mans to seize in It's entirety the Rus
sian Island Of Oesel at the head of the
Gulf of Finland. But although their
troops now have taken the greater por.
tion Of the island, the aid they had ex-
pected from their fleet in putting down
Russian opposition in adjacent waters
is meeting with considerable resistance
from the Russian warships
The Russians are disinclined to
throw their naval vessels into general
engagement with the invaders, fearing
that the superiority OF the Germans
would result in losses to them which
would leave open the pathway through
the Gulf of Finland up TO Petrograd.
But in a small battle with torpedo
craft and possibly light cruisers, tho
Russians have sunk two German tor
pedo boats and damaged two others In
Soela Sound, to the north OF Oesel
Island, while the Russians themselves
lost torpedo-boat destroyer. The cier-
man vessels. which were accompa MED
by IL battleship put to sea after the
engagement s'
DRIVING HARD AGAINST
svOHB PENINSULA
The German land forces now are
suls, on the southwestern portion OF
the Island of Oesel, with the objectof
capturing the batteries at Serel, which
dominate the eastern entrance to the
Gulf of Riga. According to the Berlin
war Office, the Russians in this region
are isolated. but are desperately ro-
sistinG.
Berlin reports also that Abro Island,
Off the southern coast OF Oesel and
Runo Island. In the middle of tho Gulf
OF Riga. have been occupied by Teu-
tonic troops. II Is asserted that 24o0
prisoners. thirty guns. twenty-one mis-.
chine guns and several airplanes were
captured by the Germans in Oesel go!

rains and flooded streams rendered al

Field Marshal Haig and the French
commander on his left have not yet

GERMANS Thrown OUT
OF CAPTURED TRENCHES
To the south. along the Aisne front,
the Germans, after a lively bonbard-
ment have again attacked the French
and succeeded In penetrating their en-
trenchments. AS has been customary,
the French imm mediately counterat-
tackled and reEained the lost ground.
Little hghtnDof great inten .ity, ex.

indication that shortly along the Isonzo
front in the Alstro-Italian zone, an
other big battle will begin.
Aerial raids in force have 7,een re-
sumed by British naval aviators on
German positions in Belgium. The
BruEcs docks and several airdromes
have been successfully bombed.
