LONDON. Sept. 3.-German troops have
captured Riga. Official announcement
to this effect was made in a supple
mentary statement issued by Berlin to-
night. It followed the statement from
Petrograd earlier in the day that the
Russians had abandoned the city.
The fall of Riga lays the Russian
capital open to attack and possibly may
force the evacuation of Petrograd by
the provisional Government, which
would go to Moscow. However. if Won
Hndenburg makes such an attempt as
is indicated he will face a task of the
utmost difficulty. From Riga to Petro-
grad the distance is about 265 miles over
territory easy Of defence and of the
greatest difficulty for an advancing
army even in good weather In winter
the feat would be almost Impossible.
Army IL DemoraIized.
This is the sixth time Riga has
changed hands in the course of the war.
During its previous occupancy by enemy
forces several times there has been talk
of a drive upon Petrograd. but this
never has materialized, The most seri-
Gus aspect of the situation is considered
to lie in its disclosure of the badly de-
lnoralzed state of the Russian army.
When the Germans crossed the Dvina
River at tskull, abandonment of the
city practically became imperative
From this direction the foe menaced the
road to Pe,rograd from the southwest.
while another German army crossed the
Tirul marshes and along the shore of
the gulf toward Riga. The morale of
their already disorganized army shaken,
the Russians seem to have been demor-
allied by the blows dealt Saturday.
Burning Villages Mark Retreat.
Although 1t IL stated officially that
Abandonment of the great northern port
was ordered the retreat from Riga APP
pears to have been almost a rout. Pc
trograd admits that some Russian de-
, tachmcnts voluntarily left their positions
and are retiring toward the north.
while Berlin says dense columns of
every kind are making their way hastily
! in northeasterly direction along the
! roads leading out Of Riga Burning
villages and farms mark the route OF
! the retreat.
