The Press Association, giving a
summary of the fighting in the north
ern end of the 1000 mile eastern front,
says that Riga was abandoned under
the combined threat of sea and land
forces.
The deciding blow was struck on
Saturday whens the Teuton armies eff
fected a crossing of the river Dvina,
about a dozen miles south of the be-
leaguered city. The Slav garrison was
also menaced from Mitau, 20 miles to
the southwest OF the gulf city, and all
efforts to stem the oncoming rush Of
the Germans proved futile.
The Russian fleet is anchored on
the right flank of Riga, and the move
ments of the war vessels are uncertain

purpose of the TeutoR plans Of

about the same line Of stuff before he
fought Johnson in Reno, and then Jack

Weight is not going to play a very
important part in the bout between
Jess and Fred, supposing that it takes
place. The two things that are going
to figure most prominently are Will
