port on the Gulf of Riga, is in the
hands of the Germans and it's garrison
and the civilian population are in re-
treat eastward.
Following up rapidly the advantage
they gained in driving the Russians
of Uxkull Saturday the Germans threw
bridges across this stream and soon
were on the heels of the former de-
tenders, some of whom offered re-
sistance, but others showed the white
feather, giving the invaders no trou-
BILE in marching up the eastern bank
of the Dvina toward Riga-ffteen
miles distant.
Seeing the d~isaffection and the in
ability to stem the tide of the ad-
vance the Russian commander order
ed an evacuation.
With the falling back of the Rus
slams from the city proper and the
advance of the Germans northward
along both sides of the stream the
Russians still defending the western
bank around Dahlen seemingly are
in danger Of being caught between the
two fast moving bodies of the enemy
and made prisoner.
Behind them the Russians, in their
retreat from Riga, are laying the
country in waste, burning villages and
farms. Whether the city itself re-
mains intact has not been made
known.

Aside from the strategic value of
controlling the Gulf of Riga and of

it is impossible to see the Importance
of the German gain, especially with
the near approach of winter, when
military operations in this northern
region are almost impossible.
On none of the other fronts have
there been operations of great mo-
ment, except in the Austro-1talian
theater, where the Italians have made
further progress on the Bainsizza pla.
teau and in the BrestovizZa valley
and at various points along the line
have repulsed fresh counter attacks
launched by the Austrians.
Throughout this entire theater VIC
lent artillery duels are in progress
from Tolmino to the sea.
The batteries of Field Marshal Haig
still are pouring an incessant fire
against the German trenches in Elan
ders, but IS yet the anticipated new
dash by his men to capture them has
not started. Doubtless the knocking
down of the defenses has not reached
the limits which the British comman
der always requires before he throws
his infantrymen into the fray.
