Bombardments Have Been Reported Along the Coast Line of the
 Gulf of Riga.
RUSS FLEET BOTTLED
Germans Crossed Dvina River without the Loss of Single
 Soldier.

PETROGRAD, Sept GA large German fleet has appeared in the Gulf of Riga and already many bonn bardments have been reported. The difficulties of the problem now fac ing the Russians is accentuated, not only for the safety of the Russian armies concerned by the appre. hension excited for the Russian fleet if the German forces get full swing of the Baltic.
 To the present time submarines have been operating against the Russian coast, but with the appear ance of the big fleet the larger war. ships will now participate in the ac- tivities.
 General Alekieff, former command- CT of the Russian army says that Petrograd is not threatened by the fall of Riga, while it is a moral, it is not strategicaily important The evacuation of the region constitutes no imminent danger as the approach of the rainy season will prevent the enemy from advancing far towards the present capital of Russia.
 Retreat Is Difficult
 The Russian retreat from Riga over the neck of land a mile and a half wide between Lake Kiln and Lake Egel is being accomplished with the greatest of difficulty. The enemy is constantly smelling the rear guards. In spite of the reports of the disgraceful flight of certain clements of the Russian defense of the Riga positions, military command CTS praise the heroism of certain regiments who fought bravely to stem the tide.
 Today the Russians have been re- ported as crossing the Melupe river on the retreat.
 Huns Win Easily
