Michaelis, Political OBJ
servers Believe.

Copenhagen, Oct. 13. - The Ger
man reichstag adjourned, leaving be-
hind it a latent crisis which political
observers believe will lead, sooner
or later, to the retirement of DR..
Michaelis. the chancellor without a
following.
Although other parties are less ac-
lively in opposition to DR.. Michaelis
than the Socialists, not voice has
been raised against the Vorwaerts'
slogan, "Michaelis must co."
Recent arrivals from Berlin report
that current gossip there is that
Michaelis can scarcely last month.
The chancellor's blunder in springing
the disclosures of the alleged naval
plot. against which. according to the
National Zeitung, he was strongly ad-
vised, and his failure to make head
way against the reichstag majority
appear to have lost him the conserva-
tive and pan-German support.

While the British offensive has
come to a momentary pause, with
the gains made yesterday everywhere
held. a situation latent with big pos
sibilities has developed on the Rus
sian front.
The landing of German troops on
the islands of Oesel and Dago, at the
mouth Of the Gulf of Riga, is reported
today from Petrograd. From the
shore edge at Hapsal. opposite the
Dago Island, a railroad line runs di- j

on the Gulf of Finland, and, thence
on to Petrugrad. fr t@3

would undoubtedly hamper Russian
naval scouting work, effectually close
the Gulf of Riga to Russian use and
apparently offer an excellent starting
point for a land expedition for Petro-
grad If one should be contemplated
by the German command.
The lateness of the Season has
seemed to preclude any attempt by
the Teutons to make a drive towaru
Petrograd this year. 1t has been
pointed out, however, that such
move could probably be carried out
with comparative ease at present, with

of a Russian military regeneration

Oesel and Dago Islands are at the
entrance to the Gulf of Riga and
provide easy access to the mainland
over small intermediate islands.
Dago Island is about 200 miles
from Petrograd. Oesel Island is
nearly 100 miles north of Riga, which
the Germans captured recently. The
landing of German troops in the prov
ince of Esthonia, which is near the is
