SITUATION IN RUSSIA
 IS CAUSING CONCERN
Outcome of. National Council to Be Held at Moscow is Awaited With ln- terest.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Russia's criti- cal internal situation, aggravated by the new German drive against Riga threatening the capital, is watched by the official here with grave con- cern. It became known today that of fcia1 advices are closly in accord with prss desptches describing grave po- iitical conditions.
 The outcome of the forthcoming ex- traordinary national council to be hei at Moscow is awaited here with in- terest, scarcely less keen than in Rus itself. The immediate fate of Rus sia, it is felt, depends upon it.
 Out of the great gathering in which the conservative elements aye ex- pected to unite in an effort to compel the provisional government to throw off the socialistic control of the sol diers and Worknen's council, one of two results is expected:
 The formation of a strong central ized government capable Of rapidly re- organizing the army and resuming the offensive against the central powers, or open civil strife.
 IL appears that little can be done by outside influence, even that of the American government, to help immedi- ate1y in the crisis. The problem was discussed at a conference by Secre- taries Lansing, McAdoo and Baker It is understood that attention was chief ly given otae financial and industrial aid which the United States can and will give. and the assurance of which is counted on to strengthen the hands of the Russian provisional authori- ties

FRIENDS OF GERMANY
 ACTIVE IN MEXICO
Conducting Press Propaganda Against
 the United States.

Mexico City, Aug. 23-Friends of Germany are conducting a newspaper propa ganda against United States but up to the present efforts have. failed of their purpose in so far as the bet ter educated and influential classes of Mexico are concerned. There is reason to believe that it has had no effect on men prominent in public fife, those associated with the government, or the high officers of the army, but 1t seems certain that the German cam paisn has exerted a certain influence over the uneducated Mexicans.
 The line followed has had for it's end the convincing of the more ignor- ant classes that the friendly advances of the United States are not to be trusted and that the country is stead fast in the aim of overthrowing the sovereignty of Mexico and sefzing for it's own, either by economic means or by force, the territory between the Rio Grande and Panama - The Ger mans also have made strong efforts to spread the belief that the allies are in desperate straits for men, ships and money, ands that the ultimate victory of the central powers is assured.

counter-attacks of the Austrians are extremely violent, but nowhere have they been able to dislodge the Italians. An instance of this is the holding for three days under most vicious counter strokes of a strong Austrian position captured southeast of Dessofaiti. More than 16,J00 prisoners already have been taken by the Italians.
 Although the exact extent of the Italian advance has not become ap- parent and the objective aimed at is not definitely known, General Cadorna over the entire 37 miles of the fighting front has everywhere made progress and the Austrlans are reported unoffi- cially to be stripping Triest of it's val uables and moving them to Vienna and other places-seeming evidence that the Austrians anticipate the Italians hope that a final blow will fall there
 East of Riga the Russians have fallen back before the enemy all along the line from Raggedzem, on the Gulf of Riga, through Tukkum and Ram mern to the upper reaches of the River Aa. Fighting is going on 8 scant 20 miles east of Riga in the Lake Babit sector. The German official communi- cation in announcing German gains in this region says the Russians evacuat- ed positions without offering battle previously having destroyed villages
