BANDS PLAY WHEN FOE
TROOPS ENTER RUSS cITN

COPENHAGEN. Sept e.-The Ber.
lin Tageblatt's correspondent on the
Riga front, describing the passage of
the Dvina river, says that this was ac-
complished without the loss OF man,
thanks to the effect of the German ar
tillery and mine throwers. The Ger
mans had assembled a greater num-
Der Of mine throwers than ever be-
fore and brought them into action af-
ter the regular artillery had lombard
ed the first and second lines for sew
eral hours.
The effect OF the mine lombard
ment was literally overwhelming.
Houses were reduced to fine dust, and
the demoralized Russian survivors
fled. Bridges were thrown across the
Dvina, at this point four hundred
yards wide, by which storming parties
crossed and assaulted the first line
heights. Other bridges in the mean
time were being constructed and the
whole army was soon crossing while
the regimentaI bands played.
The whole operation was carried
out at such little cost that three di-
visions which were in the thick Of the
fighting had total losses amounting
to only $50 dead or wounded.

PETROGRAD, Wednesday, Sept. 5.
Witnesses at the trial Of General

who is accused of high treason, un-
folded in part today the story OF
Madame Soukhomlinoff, bearing out
reports of the influence she establish
ed over her husband.
She is On trial as an accomplice in
the crimes of which the general is ac-
cused. A woman friend of the accus-
ed testified that the young wife Of
the elderly minister of war frequently
spent 100000 rubles'a year. When she
was abroad, her husband sent her al
most his entire salary and for the sake
of economy he was forced to live at
the officers casino. She said the gen
eral told his wife everything.

linoff's first husband, testified that his

nounced Thursday. Work Immediate

FEARS FELT
FOR SAFETY
OF RUSSIAN
BALTIC FLEET
German Big Ships Appear in
Gulf of Riga To Help u
Boats Harass Retiring SIav
Forces.
$500 CAPTIvES TAKEN
(By Associated Press)


With the appearance Of German
feet in the gulf of Riga, the dificul-
ties of the problem facing the Rus
SLAMS in the operation 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
feet 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 it fell back along the gulf
Of Riga coast. Larger warships now
bid fair to take part in the activities,
increasing the trouble of the Russians
In the task Of keeping their flank pro-
tected.
May Be Delayed
As to actual operations against the
Russian fleet, it does not appear to
be expected that they will develop
until the land campaign has progress
ed further.
On the 40 mile front of the break IN
the Russian land line, the Germans
are pushing their advantage and have
as yet met with no effective resist
ance. 1t is declared, however, that
the Russian retreat is by no means
a rout and that well defined plan Is
being carried in the retirement
It's success admittedly depends upon
the behavior of the Russian troops
whose morale on this front is now re-
ported to be better than the earlier
account Of the retreat seemed to-
indicate.
Italians Push On
The Italian campaign for Triest is
being vigorously pushed in the face
of vast concentration of Austrian In
fantry and artillery and General Ca
dorna continues to report progress.
It seems that the unofficial report 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 Gorilla hill is accounted a GER
tafnty by the military writer's in view
Of the steady Italian progress through
the protecting works.

Wife is Proud Her
Husband Enlisted
in Aviation Corps

Mrs. Jerome F. Ball, whose husband
has enlisted in the aviation service
of Uncle Sam, is proud Of her hus-
band.
She's proud of him because he en-
listed, despite the fact that the couple
have one child.
Ball, son of w. E. Ball, manager of
the Richmond Oil company, formerly
was an inspector in the Westcott Au-
tomobile company. He went to Spring
field when the plan moved to that
place from Richmond.
Because of his knowledge of auto
mobiles he decided Uncle Sam could
use him in the aviation department
and he promptly enlisted. His wife
will now live with his parents at 2126
North e street.
Ball received notice Thursday to
report at Ohio State university at
Columbus, O., Saturday. He will go
through preliminary instructions at
the university.

INCUBATOR PLAN
LAID ON TABLE

Richmond will have no polyfactory
for the present
The Commercial club directors Wed
nesday evening decided to lay the poly
factory proposition on the table for
the present.
Owing to the fact that two large in
dustries are being located here, entail
ing an expenditure of a large amount
of money, and because of the high
cost of building materials, it was un-
animously agreed that the time was
not ripe for the polyfactory.
However we hope that some per-
son or persons will become interested
in the scheme, as they have in other
cities and build one" Secretary Albus
said. 'It has proved paying propo-
sition in all communities where it has
been undertaken by individuals"
Plans which had been drawn up for
the factory, were presented at the
meeting. They call for an expenditure
of $25,000. The total cost of the site,
heating plant and switches would be
about $4,000. The plans were accept
ed but put away for consideration at
some later time.
1t was reported that $135,000 of pre-
ferred and common stock in the Jen-
kins Vulcan Spring Co., has been dis
posed of. The stock was oversub-
scribed $4,000. Mr.. Jenkins, head Of
the company, has arrived in the city
and with his family has taken up resi-
dence at 116 South Twenty-second

Resort Asks
Guests to Get Out

STOCKHOLM. Sept. 6.-The spec
tacle, propably unique, of popular
and much frequented summer resort
and bathing town inviting its summer
guests to leave and not return has just
been presented by Sodertalje. The
city authorities took action after a
meeting at which the scarcity of food
was discussed. This, in their opinion,
made it undesirable that inroads
should be made by summer visitors
on the stocks available. About 5000
visitors are affected by the invitation
to leave.
