London Sept. With the appear
ance of a German fleet in the Gulf of
Riga the difficulties facing the Rus
slams in the operations on their North
ern front are accentuated. Not only
is the safety of their armies concern
ed, but apprehensions are excited as to
what will happen TO the Russian fleet
If the German naval forces are given
full swing in the Baltic.
Only submarines SO far have been
operating against the Russian right
flank as il fell back along the Gulf Of
Riga coast Larger war ships now
bid faiR to take part in the activities,
increasing the troubles of the Rus
slams in the task of keeping their
flank protected.
On the forty-mile front of the break
in the Russian land lines the Ger
mans are pushing their advantage
and have as yet met with no effective
resistance Ii is declared, however,
means rout and that well defined
plan is being carried out in the retro
grade movement. Its success, it is
admitted. depends on the behavior of
the Russian troops. whose morale on
this front is now reported to be better
than the earlier accounts of the re.
treat seemed to indicate.
More than 1900 prisoners have SO
far been taken by the Germans. Guns
to the number of lS0 have been cap
tured. Berlin announces
Russians Beyond Melupe River.
The retreat now has progressed be
yond the Melupe river
The Italian campaign for Trieste
is being vigorously pushed in the face
of vast concentrations of Austrian in
fantry and artillery and port progress
1t seems that the unofficial reports OF
the capture of San Monte Gabrielle by
the Italians were premature judging
from the latest advices from the front
but the ultimate reduction Of this last
remaining stronghold of the Austrians
In the GoriZia hills Is accounted a
certainty by the military writer's in
view of the steady Italian progress
through the protecting works.
The Italian war office reports the
capture of more than 500 additional
prisoners northeast of Gorilla, and
about 200 in the Brestovizza valley
fighting, when Austrian attacks were
broken up.
The Austrian command has sue
ceeded in concentrating such mum
bers of fresh troops and artillery re
moved from the RussoRoumanian and
Balkan fronts that the battle is rag
ing again more fiercely than ever, es
pecially east of Gorizia and northwest
of the Hermanda, in the Garso area

New Attempt to Keep Them Off Bel
 Iigerent Ships.

THAW TRIES SUICIDE.
SIashes Throat and Wrists When About
 to Be Arrested.


 Harry k. Thaw made a desperate at tempt in Philadelphia to end his sen- sational career. He cut his throat and his wrists in the boarding house at 526O Walnut street. He is now in St Mary's hospital in a serious condition. but it is expected will recover.
 Thaw was unconscious when he reached the hospital. His condition puzzled the surgeons and gave rise to the intimation that before slashing himself he might have taken poison. The hunt for Thaw on the indictment charging him with fiogging a boy in New York suddenly concentrated in Philadelphia. Detectives traced him to the Walnut street house and broke open the door of Thaw's room just as he slashed himself.
