tie in the Gulf of Riga between
Russian and German battleships, the
war office announces, the Russian
| battleship Slavar was sunk.
The Slava sank as the result of be-
/ ing hit several times beneath the wa
ter line. Nearly all the members of
the crew were saved by Russian tor
pedo boats.
The Slava, built in 1903, was an
old type battleship Of 1856 tons, 397
| feet in length. The armament con-
J sisted of four 12-inch and twelve six
inch guns. with twenty -four second
airy battery guns and four torpedo
| tubes. Her speed was eighteen
knots. She had complement of S25
men.
Three sister ships of the SIava
were sunk during the Russo-Japa-
nese war in the battle Of Sea Of
Japan, May. 1905. The Japanese cap
| tured a fourth sister ship, the Orel,
which is now the Japanese Iwami
The Slava was stationed in the
: Gulf of Riga as long ago as April,
| 1915, in which month the German ad-
| miralty reported having dropped
bombs upon her. Her men were in
volved in the disaffection in the Bal
tic fleet which followed the revolu-
| ton, but later were restored to favor.
The Russian announcement fol-
lows:
After depriving us of control of
lrbe channel the enemy at night
penetrated the Gulf of Riga, where,
at dawn yesterday, his naval forces
were discovered by our patrol de-
tachment, which was pressed back
to Moon sound by enemy cruisers
and torpedo boats. Our ships Of the
line, Grayhdanin and SIava, and the
cruiser Bayan, went out to meet the
enemy in the Gulf Of Riga and drove
back his vanguard by their fire.
They soon encountered the principal
enemy fighting units and engaged
them. Among the latter were two
fuerst type (25,000 tons).
During the battle the enemy
adopted the tactics of firing at dis
tances beyond the range of our guns,
his artillery range being much SUI
perior to the artillery Of our old
ships Of the line.
In spite Of the clearly manifest
superiority of the enemy, our ships
defended the entrance for consid-
cradle time and only severe damage
caused by the fire of his dread
nOughts forced us to .$stire into the
waters of the Moon sound. AS a re-
suit of several hits beneath the wa
terline, the Slava sank. Nearly all
the crew were saved by our torpedo
boats.
During this engagement our coast
batteries at the entrance to Moon
sound dispersed by their fire enemy
torpedo boats which attempted to
approach our ships. Afterward the
fire of one of the enemy dread
noughts was directed on those bat
teries and they were put out of &C
ton in a short time.
Another detachment of our naval
forces in Moon sound kept back
fierce enemy attacks from the north
in the rear of our combating forces.
These enemy attempts did not sue
ceed."

MORAL SUPPORT
OF PRESIDENT
Wilson Writes Suffragist
Head Wishing Her Sue
cess Despite Pickets
(By Associated Press.)

New York, oct. 1s.-President
Wilson. in a letter to Carrie Chap
man Gait. president of the National
Women's Suffrage association. made
public here last night, expressed the
hope that voters would not be in
fluenced by the action of the social
ed pickets in Washington. The letter
dated oct. u. follows:
My Dear Mrs. Gait
May / not express to you my very
deep interest in the campaign in New
York for the adoption of woman
suffrage, and may / not say that /
hope no voter will be influenced in
his decision with regard to the great
matter by anything the socalIed
pickets may have done here in Wash
ington? However justly they may
have laid themselves open TO serious
criticism, their action represents,
am sure, so small a fraction Of the
women of the country, who are urg-
ing the adoption of woman suffrage,
that it would be most unfair and
argue a narrow view. to allow their
actions to prejudice the cause itself.
am very anxious to see the great
state of New York set a great exam
pie in this matter.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
Woodrow Wilson.
