Dreadnaughts silenced Batteries.

+ PETROGRAD, Oct. 1S.-German
dreadnaughts silenced the Russian
coast batteries during the landing of
German troops on Oesel and Dago is
land in the Gulf Of Riga. The Russian
garrisons ther care now fighting the
landing forces.
The islands in question have them
selves been bases of no little import
ance to the Russians, especially for
airplane activities. Their seizure will
undoubtedly hamper the Russian ma
val scouting work, effectually close the
Gulf of Riga to Russian use and APP
parently 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 toward
Petrograd this year. 1t has been
pointed out, however, that such a
move could probably be carried out
with comparative ease at present with
the Russian armies in their admitted
ly disorganized state, whereas next
spring there is governemntal promise
of Russian military regeneration, af-
ter a winters organizing work along
new lines.

EXPECT TO,CALL
NEXT ARMY soon
QUARTER OF MILLION or FIRST
INCREMENT NOT MOBILIZED YET
TO ISSUE CALL IN DECEMBER
OR JANUARY.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Oct. 1S.Dis-
cussion of the advisability of expedit-
ing the call for the second increment
of the draft army now in progress at
the war department, and it appears
likely that the date may be fixed for
some time in December or January,
Mobilization of the first increment of
|6S7, 1000 men is now far enough ad-
vanced to show clearly that there will
be big deficiency for the Seventeenth
national army division. More thar
I250,000 of the first increment are still
to be assembled, but it is evident that
there will be available at the sixteen
Icantonments, quarters for an addi-
tional regiment at each post and az
some for full brigade of two regi-
nents.
The strength of the new reglmental
rganization is $500 men With regi-
ment lacking at each cantonment this
alone would mean shortage of near
lily $4,000 men. In addition there has
sbeen authorized separate division OF
negro troops, which means nearly 3d.
600 men withdrawn from the original
number assigned to the sixteen cam
tonments.
The shortage is due partially to the
necessity of taking out of the national
army men to fill up national Guard di-
visions.
Two complete national army divis
ions of Southern troops have been alb
sorbed in this way. The remnants OF
three other Southern national army di-
visions will be consolidated to form a
single divisional unit and the surplus
men from other camps will be sent
South to make up the missing divis-
ions.
Drafts on the national army forces
also must be made to fill UP the en-
listed personnel of the aviation service
bsttalions needed behind the fighting
lines abroad Eventually there will be
250,000 men in the last named service
alone, and aviation and the medical
service will take nearly as many more
though not all of them will be taken
from the national army.
Operating to delay. the calling oul
of the second increment to make COOL
the shortages are several factors
Clothing and equipment is coming for.
ward at rate that can meet the de
mands Of the forces already called and
the railways of the country have been
overburdened with the job of moving
the army without hindering freight
shipments vital to the allies.
Fixing the date of the call for the
second increment probably hinges also
upon the careful study being made by
Provost Marshal General Crowder and
his assistants of the results OF the
plan followed in assembling the mvu
called first.
Many questions have arisen which it
may be desired to avoid hereafter, and
substitute regulations to guide both
local and district boards, may be is-
sued to govern the second call.

LONDON, Oct. 49, The Germans

These islands provide easy access
to the mainland, across intermediate
islands. If troops are landed on the
mainland here, it would threaten the
outfanking of the Russians, probably
compelling a retreat on wide front,
