PETROGRAD, Oct. 3.—Reports
from the Riga front indicate that
the Russians managed to penetrate
the German line on the Dvina.

determined efforts to strengthen
their Riga-Dvina line with a view
of later operations. After consist- !
ent and sustained attacks these
were broken by the Russians.
PETROGRAD. Oct. 3.—Another'
demonstration was made by radi-i
cals against the American embassy
today.
The present prosecution of radi
cals in the United States probably
had mere to do with it than any
thing else. A good many former
residents of the United States are
now returned to Russia since the
revolution and these are watching
and reporting conditions in Amer
ica
XEW YORK, Oct. 2.— Demon
strations against America occurred
today in I’etrograd. The numbers
3f the American mission on their
return complained that some of
these were very active against them
It is likely that these were respons
ible for the occurrences now re
ported.
PETROGRAD, Oct 2.—The re
organization of the Russian army
is being attended with considerable
success. Notwithstanding the In
tricate situation within and the
hammering of enemy blows without
the Slavs are making wonderful
progress and the greatest praise is
giviui them by visiting attaches.

SEATTLE, Oct. 2.—The Stimson |
jMill of Ballard is suing the Shingle
Weavers Union of that place for
fifty thousand dollars, hoping to re
peat the precedent established by
thc' Danbury Hatters case.
The suit is following the piekett
ing of the Stimson Mill of Ballard
which was so hardly affected by the J
strike as to have its output cut of: 1
altogether.
The ease has been set for trial |
in Judge Allman's Court in Seattl". i
The striking employees are asso
ciated in defending the employees
against the legal attacks of the
Stimson mill company.
