Despite the retreat of the Russians
on the Riga front there are indica-
tions that the German drive in this
section has nearly reached the limit.
German military writer's say the Ger
mans will hardly risk advancing fur
ther because Of the lateness of the
season. 1t Is intimated they will be
satisfied with safeguarding what they
have won. Unofficial dispatches say
the Russians defending the Dvinsk
line are showing better fighting spiri'
than those on any other front. The
absence Of important cooperation by
the German navy and army lends col
or to the report that the German ad
vance is about to halt.
Petrograd reports that German
craft have again been seen in the
Gulf of Riga. but apparently are on,

Of all the American committees to keep
the French warehouse supplied. The
extraordinary way in which the Amer
lean local committees heretofore have
accomplished this, working here in
America, where the work is without
the stimulus of constant touch with
the demand, where it takes just pa
tience and logged endurance to go
through the daily drudgery, and rouse
other and more reluctant people to do
the same, encourages the belief on the
part of leaders of the Fund that tenta-
tive promises of supplies will be en-
tirely fulfilled.
The demand for supplies becomes
more urgent every day It is the
Funds aira during the coming year

order to meet the situation it is neces-
