Germans Active in Russ Waters.

New York, Oct. 15.--The situation
OH the Russian northern front con-
tinucs critical, with the Germans
0ver-running the Island of Ocsel and
rapidly pursuing their program Of
gaining complete control Of the Gulf
Of Riga. Russian military observers
expect speedy extension OF the Ger
man operations to the mainland.
probably on the Esethonian coast,
whence a movement toward Pctro-
grad might be pushed.
Petrograd itself Is considered In no
immediate danger, as hundreds OF
miles Of ground still lie between the
Germans and the Russian capital.
The possibility Of further naval de-
velopments through the Gulf Of Fin
land, bringing the German base or
operations still nearer the rresent
seat Of government, Is being consid-
cred, however, and the Russian fleet
is being besought to do its utmost in
coping with the situation.
To-day's Petrograd official state
ment shows the Germans making
rapid progress In their reduction or
Oesel Islands defenses. Their troops
are swarming over the island in
force, while their naval units are
shelling and silencing various shore
batteries. In this process they have
occupied Arensburg, the capital Of
the island, which yesterday was re-.
ported IN flames.

"There have been sc waterfront
fires in New York city lately and it is

tended for export, according to off,
cials Of the New York Company, own
ers Of the elevator.
superintendent Tomlins, in charge
Of the elevator, declared the fire was
caused by an explosion inside the

Says German Losses Sttlpendous.

Copenhagen, Oct. 13.--An unmis-
taxable intimation of great losses
sustained by the Germans in their at
tempts to stem the British attacks Is
contained in the latest comment of
Lieut.. Gen. Won Ardenne. military
critic Of The Tageblatt, Of Berlin, on
the Flanders campaign. He refers to
the German losses at Mars-La-Tour
and Gravelotte in the Franco-Prus-
sian war, averaging flve-fifths Of the
officers and one-third Of the men OF
the Prussian Guard and Brandenburg
regiments engaged, as classic exam
pies in German military history OF ex-
traordinary casualties suffered with
out affecting the morale OF the
troops.
The general then says these losses
often are far exceeded in the present
war and that in the third Flanders
battle they have been 80 great as to
induce the military authorities to
abandon the usual rule Of not refer
ring to them, feeling that the sacri-
fees Of Prince Rupprecht's men have
been such as to entitle them to ex-
traordinary thanks Of the fatherland.
