RU USSiAN ARMY TAKES STRONG
DEFENSES AND ENEMY As.
SAUlT Is CHECkED-eRiTiSH
MEN FIGHT ON MANY FRONTS.

PetrOgrad, Aug. 27.-The new Ger
man offensive on the Riga front has
been brought to an end without at.
tanning any important success, accord
ing to statement issued by the Of
fetal government press bureau. De.
tails of the fighting which followed
the opening of the German thrust In
the Riga sector about August 15, are
given in the report as follows:
For several days the Riga front has
been the scene of activity. In the di.
lectiOn of the (Balticl sea the Rus
sian troops evacuated territory, fall
ing back several kilometers in the
directions of Schlock The Germans,
observing the retirement, set out In
pursuit in an effort to cut off the
roads, but were prevented at every
point. and were forced back by artil-
lery and machine gun fire.
AT present the Russians occupy an
excellent defensive line.
On August 1920 the Germans then
attempted an offensive against the
Russian Outposts in the region close
to the coast. Everywhere the Ger
man attacks were repulsed by the
brilliant fire of the Russian artillery
In the region of Kekkenau an at.
tempt was made by the Germans to
break the Russians advanced line.
but they were again flung back In dis.
order, suffering heavy losses under
the fire OF the Russian artillery.
On August 10 the Germans began
bombarding In the region southwest
of Lake Babit, the cannonade lasting
four hours
Having destroyed parts Of the Rus.
sian trenches, the Germans were at.
tackled and dispersed by the Russian
gun fire.
German artillery became active in
the region of Olay, on the night Of
August 90 more than 1000 shells be-
ing fired.
Taking into account all of the facts
in regard to the fighting on the Riga
front one can say that the German
offensive has ended and has been
without any important success.

FORD CRASHES INTO.

ACCIDENT NEAR SERENA TO-DAY
SMACkS or MIRACULOUS ES-
CAPES, ETC.--MACHiNES COL.
LIDE AT CROSS ROAD.

Serena, August 27, 19l7-What
might have been serious accident
with fatal results as the result of a
collision between Ford and a large
touring car, quarter OF a mile west
of Serena this morning, ended only in
a severe jolting for the occupants of
the Ford machine and with no i'll eff
fects to those in the larger car
With the exception of r. II. Pool
err prominent Serena farmer, who was
rendered unconscious for half an hour,
and Herbert Murwin, boy, who suf'
fered from shock, none were injured,
Notwithstanding that the Ford piled
up in the ditch after turning turtle.
The accident happened at 9 O'Clock
on the Starved Rock trail. DR.. c. w.
Milligan and party of friends were
returning to Chicago when the little
Ford driven by q. C.. Murwin, OF Full
ton, Wis, and occupied by his two
sons, Herbert and Chester and Mr.
/ Pooler, darted out from the side road
i'and crashed headlong into the Mill
gan machine After the crash the
/ Ford sideswiped the other auto and
/ then plunged nose first into the ditch
where 1t rolled over and brought NJ
on its side. Mr.. Pooler was picked
up in a state of coma and the Murwin
boy was suffering from shock. Both
were removed to the POoler farm
where they were given medical at
tention. An examination disclosed
neither to have suffered any fractures
nor were they hurt internally. This
afternoon they were resting comfort
ably and tomorrow will be able to BIZ
about.
Occupants of the Mllgan machine
rushed to the aid of the victims ant
he ped picked them up. They tool
them back to Serena in their car
which was undamaged by the coils
ion The Mlligan party spent tn
week end at Starved Rock and wa
heading home when the smash-up oc
cured.
Both cars were going at a moderat
rate of speed when they came togetl
er, according to witnesses, and thi
was all that saved the lives of a
members of the party in the Ford mi
chine.

sion.
And in that statement lies the Sc
ere, of the terrific battle that is rag
ing around the city at the present
moment
1T is not for the possession OF
the numerous coal mines at Lens that
we are fighting so desperately de-
clared 1t Dolphin. Those shafts
long since have been demolished by
the great artillery fire. Rather We
are fighting to oust the Germans
from the city and force them back
onto the broad plains back Of Lens,
where they must either retreat the

You can see that to rout the Ger

make this retreat will have a great
effect on the morale of the enemy,

aiming at now 1t Is the tactlcla VIC
tory that the British are tying to

A Terrible Struggle for Lens.
1t Dolphin, who has seen actual
service in the trenches for Is months
and who now is serving as a member
of the Royal Flying Corps, has with
him a message of thrills that comes
only from experience He is "A bright
snappy, intelligent officer, absolutely
democratic, and good fellow"
He detailed to Tribune reporter
today the awful battle that has been
waged around Vimy Ridge and Lens
for months past.
Lens is dominated by the heights
of Vimy Ridge" declared the lieuten'
ant Originally oar lines ran be
tween Vimy Ridge and Mount Louis, a
smaller ridge to the rear. They alsl
swung at the rear of the now famous
Hill 70, another OF the heights over
looking the city OF Lens. Earle In
the war these positions were held by
the Germans That gave them com
pete observation of the territory II
which our lines were located. They
could observe our foces, the move

COASTWISE TRADE is
OPEN TO FOREIGNERS

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-Ameri-
cas- coastwise trade was formally
opened to foreign shipping by res
olution of the shipping board order
ing the licensing for such trade OF
both foreign built vessels under the
United States flag and vessels OF
foreign register.
This action, taken upon author
lily to suspend provisions Of existing
law granted by Congress during the
closing days OF the war session will
serve the double purpose Of replac-
| ing American tonnage withdrawn for
over seas service and of relieving
many foreign ships of the wasteful
necessity of moving between Ameri-
can ports empty or only partially
laden.
The board designated Edward F.
Carry, its director of operations, to
administer the new act and issue per-
lmits. He will begin the work i'm
lmediately. Conditions in the Allan
tic, Pacific and Gulf trades will be
materially affected. Alaska was ex-
empted specifically by the act OF
Congress.

NEUTRALS FEELING
EFFECTS OF EMBARGO

The neutral countries are COM
mencing to feel the effects of the
war in Europe. The era of pros
perity which they enjoyed during
the first two years of warfare Is now
definitely passed. Norway fears a
famine. The Dutch ships are still
in our harbors, and Holland is bad
" in need of fodder. The war ex-
penditure of Holland up to August
/, 1917 is 100000 Guilders. Den
mark has been obliged to levy a
number of new taxes and the prop
erty tax Of the country has been
doubled.
The arrangement between Swift
erland and Germany provides for
the shipment from Germany of 200,-
900 tons of coal and 10000 tons OF
iron and steel a month to Switzer-
land. while Switzerland has agreed to
grant credits amounting to $4,000
900 a month to Germany, as we'll

Europe is the formation Of an export
bank at Lisbon, Portugal. with Am

.SELECTIVE DRAFT
WORK SIMPLIFIED

Washington, Oct. ga sweep
ing change in the machinery of the
selectiye draft, based on division OF
the 100000 remaining registrants
into five classes in order of their ell
igibility for military service, was
announced by Provost Marshal Cen
eral Crowder.
Details of the plan, which has
been approved by President WILSON,
are not disclosed. 1t is calculated
however. to do away with virtually
all the complicated machinery of the
first draft and to make the opera
tions of the local boards hereafter
little more than rubber stamp pro-
gress.
The campaign was worked out In
conferences with local and district
board officials and approved by the
various state authorities. Its chief
features are that every registered
man will know his exact position and
be able to arrange his affairs &C
cordingly and that no man deemed
necessary in any important industry
or needed at home to support his
family will be called to the colors
unless the military situation is des-
perate

AIR RAID SUCCESS
Anglers ENGLISH

LONDON, Oct. 23.--While admit.
ling the existence of widespread pop
ular dissatisfaction over the appar-
ent impunity with which Zeppelins
raided England Friday night, a ma
jprity OF the morning newspapers
take more sober view than that
expressed by the Saturday and Sun
day papers.
The story of the raid is still ra-
fher obscure and no official explain
alton has been given of the absence
ut gunfire in the London area, or
nj the escape of the raiders from
England. It is assumed, however,
by thoughtful writer's that the direc-
aors of THE defensive system adopt
cd a policy dictated by circumstan-
res and acted with due vigilance and
enterprise.
While the raiders were not at

comment on the affair with impa-

says that Viscount French. comman-
