Government Sounds Doom
Of OiSturberS in America

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The gov
eminent proposes to hack 1. w. WAND
other anti-American activities from the
nations political and Industrial struct-
ure.
To this end, governments investigators
throughout the country today exam
ined the L w. w and socialist docu-
ments, cleaned in yesterdays swoop on
many headquarters.
These papers will reveal startling
program to hamper Americas war
work through syndicalism. Further
they may show that German or AUS
trian money is financing the troubles
of recent weeks-I. W. w. strikes, riots
and intrigues.
Evidence already in the department
of Justice shows that the l. w. W. &C
tivities have embarrassed industries,
particularly the western mines produc-
ing war material. This evidence shows
too. that the l. w. w. proposed to
spread its doctrines of violence all over
the land.
The patriotic education society today
charged directly the Austrians and Bull
CARS are responsible for these disor-
ders. acting for the German secret
service. The extent Of L. w. w.
plans is indicated by the openly ex-
pressed fear that they might try to
capture the Minneapolis session of the
American Alliance for Labor and De-
mocracy, and distort its deliberations
into l. w. w. propaganda.
Since our declaration of war the
German secret Service has relied less
upon her own subjects and more upon
the subjects of her allies in America,
the patriotic education society declares.
"Austrians and Bulgars have been found
in numerous plots against this country.
This is particularly true of the l. w.
w. through which organization Aus
TRANS and Bulgars have been as con-
spicuous in stirring up disorders as
Germans were in Italy before that
country got rid Of them by declaring
war on the imperial government"
The government has ordered the lea1-
ers. such as big Bill Haywood, James
Rowan, Dan Sheridan and others pros
ecuted to the limit if seized documents
prove as serious as the government be-
lieves they are.
Grand Juries will examine the papers
and return indictments That these
will be based on the new espionage act
appears likely, though existing laws on
treason and sedition may be invoked
against some of the foremost L. w.
WIS.
President Wilson has taken a direct.
personal interest in halting the anti
american acts of the 1. w WIS and
the more fiery of socialists. He feels
that nothing should be permitted to in
terfere with war preparations and ne
recently chose Judge Covington, of this
city to investigate the 1. w. w. menace
in the far west. Covington probably
will report to the president today and
It Is assumed that he has discovered
Independently some facts which aided
justice department investigators in
their round up.
Authorities here believe that the 1.
w. w. movement rests largely upon
the leadership of a new forceful agIta-
tors such as Haywood, and that no
matter what comes of the present
movement, 1t will result at least in
discouraging the followers hereafter.

SAYS LAF0LLETTE, STONE
AND GRONNA CAPTUREDR|GA
Chas, Edward Russell De-
CIareS Kaiser Should Dec
crate These Three

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 6.-'Riga> was
not captured by Germany. Riga was
captured by Robert NJ. La Toilette, Bill
Stone and Senator Gronna. If Petrograd
is captured, it will be by La Toilette
Gronna, Stone and pro-German mayors
who lent their assistance to anti-Ameri-
can movements"
So declared Charles Edward Russell
Socialist member of the Root commits
sion to Russia, on his arrival here today
to attend the convention of the American
Alliance for Labor and Democracy.
Russell said the taking of Riga was
not important, except as an indication
of the extent to which the Russian peo-
pie are being weakened.
Riga doesn't amount to anything" he
said. I'VE all knew perfectly we'll be-
fore we left Russia that Riga was en-
tirely likely to be taken. Riga is not
the question. The great question is
whether the German offensive is going
to be stopped.
When the kaiser gives decorations for
the capture of Riga, he should not for
get La Toilette, Gronna and Stone. They
are working to strengthen, the cause of
Germany, prolong the war and slaughter
Americans. In this respect they are do
ing more than all Germany put together
the yand the Peoples Council.
The interest of Russian people in
this war has been steadily undermined
by the disloyal utterances of copper
heads in the United States senate and
house of representatives Consequently
the Russian line is steadily being weak
ened Every disloyal word uttered in
congress, every disloyal resolution that
is passed by German agents in the
Peoples Council, every occasion on
which the mayor of Chicago defies the
governor and has a copperhead conven-
ton in his city; every time any mayor
assists the so-called peace movement,
news of the fact is instantly sent to
Russia, where 1t is spread around
among the people. In consequence, the
Russians come to believe that the United
States does not mean to fight, that it IS
going to make peace and that it is going
to desert the allies"
Plans for establishing branches of the
Alliance for Labor and Democracy in
every town in the United States will be
laid before the convention here today or
tomorrow by the committee on resolu-
tions. John Spargo will supplement the
proposals with a motion that the ALT
ance form a sort of entente cordiale
with other patIotic organizations, in
order to give the greatest possible force
and effect to the patriotic propaganda.

Wilson Says 1t Would
Be Fine Thing Should
Congress Adjourn Soon

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Several let
ters have been written by President
Wilson to members of congress indors-
ing the view that ii would be a fine
thing if congress were to finish its work
in the near future and it's members re-
turn to their districts to shed full
light on the war and it's objects.
Administration officials said today
they were hopeful congress might fin
ish about October !. after passing the
war revenue bill, the new credit bill, and
soldiers and sailors insurance legisla-
ton.
The president, however, is not ex-
pected to exert any pressure to bring
about an adjournment.

Retreat of Russians
BeSet With Difficulty

| PETROGRAD, Sept. 6.-The retreat of
the Russians from Riga over a neck or
| land mile and a half wide between
Lake Kish and Lake Egel is being ac-
complished with the greatest difficulty
and with the enemy constantly Smelling
the rearguard. This route is along the
Pskoff railway and is the only exit from
the Cul-de-Sac, German column having
moved up from Uxkull direction, cutting
off the Russian retreat to the southeast.
The civilian head of the war ministry,
Boris Savinkof, has issued a statement
saying that the success of the measures
| which will be taken to check the ad-
vance depend wholly upon the behavior
of our troops"
Despite reports of the disgraooful
flight of certain elements of Russian
defenders of Riga positions. military
commentators praise the heroism of
certain regiments, among which were
some composed of Let's, who fought
bravely to stem the tide of retreat, in
fact setting an example for their COM
rades.
The chief of the general staff, General
Roma nofsky, expresses the opinion that
the evacuation constitutes no imminent
menace to Petrograd, because of the
near APPROACH Of the rainy season, which
will prevent the enemy from advancing
|
danger of descent upon the coast near
er TO Petrograd is also discounted in Of
fetal circles for like reason and the adj
ditional difficulty the enemy would find
in maintaining communication with
detached force.
The newspapers take a gloomier view
of the situation. Russky Invalid, the
least pessimistic, finds nothing definitely
hopeless in the situation, IF our troops
have not forgotten that they are Rus
slams and if some brilliant officers are
found among them who are ready tn 10
their duty"
Special committees from the Tegi-
ments of the Petrograd garrison have
been appointed to work out a plan for

PRESENCE Of GERMAN
FLEET HAS INCREASED
TROUBLES FOR RUSSIA
KaiSer'S WarShipS in the Gulf
of Riga Not Only Menace
Armies but Endanger the
Russian Fleet !.

BERLIN, Sept. 6-More than 1900
prisoners have so far ben taken by the
Germans in the iga offensive, army
headquarters announced today. Guns to
the number of $50 have been captured.
NEW YORK. Sept. Shy foreign
the appearance Of a German fleet in the
Gulf of Riga, the difficulties of the
problem facing the Russians in the OPP
erations of their northern front are
accumulated. Not only is the safety of
their armies concerned. but apprehen-
sions are excited as to what will hap
pen to the Russian fleet If the German
naval forces are given full swing in
the Baltic.
Only submarines so far are operating
against the Russian right flank as it
fell back along the Gulf of Riga coast.
The warships now bid fair to take part
in the activities, increasing the troubles
their flank protected.
AS to sactual operations against the
Russian fleet. it does not appear to be
expected that they will develop until
the land campaign has progressed fur
Their and 1t is seen what success the
Russians will have in their effort to
make a stand on a new line. More
over, it is a long way over land to Re-
val, where the Russian warships are
congregated. The Riga gulf, however,
would offer a favorable base for pure
ly naval operations against Reval.
On the forty mile front of the break
nthe Russian land lines, the Germans
are pushing their avantage and have
as yet met with no effective resistance
1t is declared, however, that the Rus
sian retreat is by no means a rout and
that well defined plan is being car
ried out in the retrograde movement
Its success admittedly depends upon
the behavior of the Russian troops,
whose morale on this front is now re-
ported to be better than the earlier ac-
counts of the retreat seemed to indI-
cate.
The italian campaign for Triest is
being vigorously pushed in the face of
vast concentrations of Austrian infan-
try and artillery, and General Cadorna
centuries to report progress
General Cadorna's report today
shows the Italians holding firm on the
Carso, where the Austrians have mass
ed great reserves for the defense of
Trtest and have launched numerous
counter attacks. The Italians took
about 700 additional prisoners.
Today's official reports from Berlin
and Petrograd add little to the details
of the Russian retreat except to show
that the Russian left flank engaged in
the operation is Ringing on Friendrich-
stadt on the Dvina, the Russians hav-
ing abandoned their Dvina positions
that far (about As miles,. to the south
esast of Riga. 1t is revealed also that
the number of prisoners taken by the
by the Germans has been rather sur
prisingly small, considering the extent
o fthe Russian retrograda movement,
the total so far enumerated being not
rgeatly in excess of 1870.
