and one cruiser ran aground. The small detachment which landed on Dago Island was forced later by the Russians to return to the ships, while the Russian fleet which at last ac- counts had suffered no material dam age, was hindering the German war craft in the waters between Dago and Oesel Islands.
 As yet nothing has come through to show that the enemy has attempted to attack the mainland of western Esthonia, nor has there been any in dication that the Russian front in this region has been moved.
 Sunday again saw a heavy rainfall on the front in Flanders and there were only accommodating encounters and artillery activity. Near Poelca- belle and Becelaere the British troops Saturday night repulsed German rec unnoitering detachments while the French attacked German patrols and took a number of prisoners. To the south, along the Aisne, a lively artil- lery duel continues between the French and the Germans
 On the Austro Italian front, espec- iaily in the Isonzo region, the recipro- cal bombardments continue heavy. The only infantry engagement report ed was in the Chiapovano valley, where Austro- -Hungarians attempted an attack but were repulsed by the Italian fire.

WAGE FARMERS URGED
 TO BUY LIBERTY BONDS
Appeal Issued by Secretary Wilson
 of the Department of Labor.

Washington, Oct. 14.-An appeal to the wage earners of the United States" to invest in the bonds was issued tonight by Secretary Wilson of the department of labor. He said:
 ''The workers have more at stake in this conflict than any others, because it is only in a democracy that the common people can come into their own. The great privilege is not given to all of us to serve our country on the battlefield or in the trenches, but there are other ways in which we can serve and assist those who are privi- legged to carry our flag on the battle fields of Europe.
 "The impulse of sacrifice for the common good is sending the youth of our country into the trenches in de- fense of liberty, humanity and democ- racy. To those of us who must of necessity remain at home to till the soil, harvest the crops. man the fac tories. mines and mills, the way is open for additional service. We, too, must make sacrifices. The men who go forth to do battle in the field must be equipped and sustained. Funds must be forthcoming to furnish the food. the fire arms and other supplies for the fighting forces of the nation Finances for that purpose must be secured immediately from the sale of bonds. The workers can help by con- tributing their mite."
