GERMAN TROOPS
ATTACKING RIGA
Foch Formally Informed of
Advance on Important Rus
sian Port on Baltic.
LET'S APPEAL TO ALLIES

London, Oct. 10.-Marshal Foch
was formally informed today that the
German troops in the Baltic provinces
nave opened an attack against Riga,
according to a Central News dispatch
from Paris.
Dispatches received by the Lettish
legation said that the attack had
opened on Wednesday.
At last reports, Riga was in the
hands of the white" or antibolshe-
vik forces, which would lend strength
to the rumor that Gen. Won Der
Goltz, commander of the German
troops in the Baltic provinces, had
gone over to the Russian reds. Riga
is an important Russian port on the
Baltic and was occupied by the Ger
mans during the closing days of the
war, after the bolsheviks had signed
the treaty of Brest- -Litovsk.
Let's Ask Allied Aid.
Paris, oct. Havas.) s.)-German
troops attacked Lettish forces Oct.
s, according to a protest received by
the peace conference from the Let
tish government. The allies are asked
to take decisive action against this
violation of the peace treaty" and
to compel Germany to comply with
the terms of the Versailles pact. 1t is
claimed German troops in Letvia are

RAINS MARS CELEBRATION

Cincinnati, Oct. 10.-Today Gin
cinnati abandoned itself to the official
celebration of the triumph OF the
Cincinnati Nationals in the worlds
championship baseball series,
Acting Mayor Jacobs proclaimed a
public holiday between the hours of
a. M, and II, noon, but rain caused
postponement of what was planned
to be one of the most impressible parts
of the hastily improvised program.
The Reds arrived in Cincinnati
shortly after 7 O'Clock and it seemed
half the city was at the Central
Union station to greet the conquer
ing heroes on their return from Chi
cago.
When the train pulled in, and the
Reds alighted from their train, their
faces creased with grins, a wild scene
of enthusiasm ensued. Hats We're
thrown into the air and men with
their arms around one another's
necks, performed weird and extern
poraneous dances.
Women Meet Train.
women, many of them wearing hats
of vivid crimson, climbed on the iron
railing between the train shed and the
depot proper and screamed at the top
of their voices. Small boys We're every
where and the great throng was en-
gulfed in enthusiasm. Manager Moran
had to salute constantly in response to
the cheers.
The crowd called the players by their
first names and cheered them all indi-
vidually and collectively.
The players literally had to fight their
way through the crowd to reach auto
mobiles in which they We're taken to
the Business Mems club where an elab-
crate breakfast had been prepared for
Them Fans on foot followed the auto
mobiles.
Meanwhile church bells, fire engine
bells and factory, steamboat and loco
motive whistles added to the din.
The elementary schools closed until
noon and the high schools for all day
and the pupils hurried down town to
catch a glimpse of the new world cham-
pions. There were no speeches at the
club breakfast Instead all devoted
themselves to rejoicing over the victory.
But there was one chant that seemed
popular. 1t was this: Who took the
glee out of Gleason?"
Then the rain came up. As result
the demonstration which had been
planned for Fountain Square was post
poned. Instead the players went to
Redland field, where they held their last
meeting of the season and prepared to
receive their world series checks as the
victors.
