LONDON', Oct. 15.—The Gorman
naval and land drive against Pe
trograd which has been proceeding
since the evacuation of Riga ac
cording to German dispatches is
still proceeding.
The Germans are meeting with
grim resistance from the Russian
land batteries especially on Moon
island, but the conquest of Oesell
dago island was accompanied by
heavy loss to the Germans.
The land fire from the Russian
batteries sunk four German de
stroyers ami drove one light
cruiser ashore in a sinking condi
tion.
The Moon island batteries ac
counted for one warship and two
cruisers before being silenced.
The Germans are trying to laud
an armed force from accompanying
transports near Reval but the terri
fic tire from the Port Baltic forts
compelled the battleships to with
draw with tlteir convoy. They are
now moving down the coast again
with the intt ntion of getting out o!
range of the Russian guns.
i STOCKHOLM. Oct. 15. Report*
from the Baltic brought by arriving
steamers indicate that very heavy
, firing is proceeding in the Gulf o'
| Finland.
| The cannonading was distinct!)
! audible all day yesterday and to
day by the incoming boats. Ger
' man dispatches show that heavy
I ship losses were incurred from tin
j forts owing to the Russian govern
ment having picked veteran artil
i lerists to man them.

LAFOLLETTE WANTS

know precisely what charges he
had got to meet.
The probe committee agreed to
grant him the right to testify and
arranged for a hearing of his evid
ence on Tuesday.
They overlooked mentioning any
thing about the charges which La
follette is to face and today the
Wisconsin senator again repeated
his demand for the information as
to exactly what charges were made
against him and upon which the in
vestigating committee was proceed
ing to investigate.
Because so far he has not been
furnished with the information, La
follette stated this evening that po
sitively he would not testify on his
own defense unless he knew what
he was to speak about.
WASHINGTON. D. O., Oct. 15.—
The Lafollette investigation is at
tracting nationwide attention ami
today's developments have not
served to lessen that interest in any
way.
The proposed testimony of Ha
toilette was expected to have had
considerable result in determining
the findings, but the evident suspi
cion of the Wisconsin senator that
he is butting up against a frame-up
is indicated in his demand for a
bill of particulars.
AMSTERDAM, Oct. 15.—Every
