RUSS HURL BACK
FOE IN RIGA ZONE
TEUToNS LOSE HEAVILY WHEN
POSITIONS NORTH OF RIGA ARE
TAKEN BY RUSSIANS.
Success Scored on the Dvinsk, Where
the Germans Advanced on Twen-
ty-five Mile Front a Few Days
Ago, Menacing Dvinsk.

London.-The Russians have again
turned successfully on the German ex-
IRENE north of Riga. In Il brilliant To-
cal attack they captured, after fierce
fighting, German positions in the sec
tor of Silzeme (Silzm), fifty-three
miles northeast of Riga.
How bitter the struggle was and
how heavily the Teutons lost is indi-
Gated by the statement of the Petro-
grad war office that 400 German
corpses were found on the battlefield.
Sixty prisoners and ten machine
guns were taken by the victors. The
brilliant general, Isokolov, says the
Russian official account, was wounded
in the head by shrapnel splinter.
The success was scored far to the
northwest of the Jacobstadt sector on
the Dvinsk, where the Teutons adj
vanced on a twenty-five mile front
few days ago and where their present
position seriously menaces Dvinsk-
Petrograd's silence concerning the sit
uatlon here is taken as Indicative that
the Muscovites are fully holding their
own.
Russian aerial successes were won
In Volhynia and on the R0umanian
front.
Berlin reported that the booty taken
at Jacobstadt Included vast stores OF
provisions, including bread and -four.
Violent attacks by the Germans
against the new French positions
northeast OF Verdun on Monday were
with heavy losses.

Suspicion Aroused

Parcels and boxes taken into the
German consulate at Bucharest with
display of great precaution aroused the
suspicious of the ROumanian govern
ment On August u. 1916, the evening
prior to the date of Roumania's decla-
ration of war, some 6f the cases were
taken to the German legation, located
in a different building from the con-
sulate. Convinced that the boxes were
not taken away from the legation by
the German diplomatic mission on its
departure from Bucharest, the Rou-
manian authorities later ordered the
police TO find and examine their con-
tents. The police communicated with
American Minister Vopicka, then in
charge of German interests, who re-
luctantly assigned Secretary Andrews
to observe the search. The boxes were
found buried in the garden of the Ger
man legation.
