FALL OF RIGA MAY
AID RUSSIAN CAUSE

Washington, sept. 3.--Abandonmen
OF Riga in the face of the new Ger
man drive into Russia, and even the
evacuation of Petrograd itself have,
been forecast as possibilities in conf
dental advices to the American gov
ernment during the last two weeks.
Such a development is not regarded
with so much alarm as might be sup
posed.
With Riga abandoned and German
occupation of Petrograd in prospect,
the seat of the Russian provisional
government undoubtedly would be
moved to Moscow. Much as they re-
gret seeing the Russian provisional
capital occupied by a German army.
the forceful, thinking men of Russia,
working to set up a government, may
regard it as a blessing in disguise.
There are many advantages in NOV
ing the Russian capital to Moscow. It.
is the center of the conservative group
and commands the sentimental-al-
most religious-regard of the Russian
populace as the ancient capital of the
old empire, surrounded with traditions
of Russia's greatness, the triumphs of
Alexander, Catherine and Peter the
Great.
Furthermore, some Russians of the
new government are said to think that
German occupation of Riga and even
Petrograd, might be wholesome OBJ
ject lesson for the radical element
which has been hampering the new
government, and that an experience
under the military heel of Germany.
might convince them of the need Of
supporting the government as snow
constituted to save their fatherland

no trouble in marching up the eastern

With the falling back of the Rus

retreat from Riga are laying the coun-

Whether the city itself remains in
tact has not yet been learned, but
doubtless the guns in the fortress and
the ammunition stores either were
moved or destroyed to prevent them
falling into the hands of the Ger
