 COPENHAGEN Oct. 1O.-German troops under General von der Goltz, together with Russians under Col. Avaloff-Rermondt, attacked the Let's thirty kilometers from Riga, and oc- cupied Shlotsk, which is outside the demarcation line, according to a re- port issued by the Lettish bureau at Riga. The report adds that the at tack was repulsed with sanguinary losses.
 The forces of General von der Goltz include imperial German troops with tanks and airplanes, says the report, which adds that the Germans attempt ed to bomb Riga, but were repulsed.
 A state of siege has been pro- claimeed at Riga, as a precautionary measure. Reserves are being formed among those who are unable to go to the front. Soldiers who were starting toward the front were pelted with flowers.
 The Lettish bureau says the Ger mans and Russians attacked on the front of St. Olaf. thirty kilometers from Riga, and the shore of the Gulf of Riga, and occupied the coastal town of Schlotsk, and also attacked the coastal town of Dubbelm, thirty kilometers from Riga.
 The Letts, in addition to claiming to have inflicted sanguinary losses on the enemy and to have destroyed an armored train at the St. Olaf station, declare they cut up two companies of Germans with their machine gun fire.
 The fighting continues on the whole of the front
 Another dispatch from Riga says the Germans attacked repeatedly dur ing the night in overwhelming num- bers and with all modern weapons, but that the Let's successfully coun- ter attacked.
 The dispatch adds that both sol diers and civilians are filled with enthusiasm and that volunteers are joining the ranks, day and night.
 Lettish soldiers who have been fighting with the British and French at Archangel have just arrived at Riga by steamship and rushed to the front.
 Available records do not contain the name of Colonel Avaloff-Ber- mondt. Previous advices from the Baltic region have failed to mention the commander of the Russian army nthe western provinces.
 The withdrawal of General von der Goltz and the German troops under his command from the Baltic region of Russia has frequently been de- manded. The supreme council at Paris some days ago sent to Germany was was considered in some quarters an ultimatum on the situation, threat ening to cut off provisions and to in- flict other penalties if the German government did not hasten the with drawal
 The German government all along has claimed that Won der Goltz's troops were rebellious, desiring to re- main in the Baltic region, and that they had consistently refused to re- turn to Germany and that Germany had not the means at its disposal to compel them to do so.
 The latest German note on the subject before the supreme council in Paris declared that the pay of the troops had been stopped and their supplies and munitions cut off and that General von Everhar had been appointed to take charge of the evac- nation which Germany was doing eV- erything possible to bring about.
