MENACES CAPITAL OF
RUSSIA IS OPINION
COPENHAGEN, Sept. 4.—With
the fall of Riga Rerlin reports are
beginning to show a more general
optimism than in a long time, the
general opinion being that its fall
paves the way for the capture of
Petrograd.
Berlin papers are urging that this
campaign be pressed with every
energy and it is held that this
will be so unfavorable to the Allies
that they cannot resist such peace
terms as Germany will be pleased
to proffer.
BERLIN. Sept. 4.—The German
guns had already wrecked Riga
before the Russians evacuated it.
The offensive will be pushed with
the utmost vigor and the city is

celebrating the capture.
LONDON, Sept. 4.—The Allied
nations almost all discount the
claims of the German press and of
ficials as to the importance of the
fall of Riga. It changes very little
the situation in Germany’s favor
is the general comment in official
circles here. Paris certainly re
fleets this view. Riga is useless l’or
further operations and does not
give the Teutons any advantage in
a drive upon Petrograd is the
French official report.
CIRCUIT COURT UPHOLDS
SAN FRANCISCO, eSpt. 4.—The
decision of Judge Bunnell against
the receiver, F. G. Noyes, in the
Washington-Alaska Bank case
which De Journel carried on the
fight for in Fairbanks, to recover
two millions from the stockholders
of the defunct bank was upheld in
the Circuit Court of Appeals and
the stockholders are escaping hav
Lig to pay up to the depositors.
This is probably the last of the
cases which will be brought in the
effort to recover in the interest of
the depositors.
REFUSE TO ACT.
LONDON, Sept. 4.—After an
animated discussion on the subject
the Trades Union Congress refused
to recede from the position taken
by their executive hoard some
time ago in the matter of the Inter
nationalist Socialist Congress at
Stockholm and will not officially,
recognize it by sending delegates
there.
In fact this is an easy way of
cli'nni'nor ntif of n .'H <• n 11 f f lr o
delegates could not go there even
if authorized to do so. They have
been denied passports by the Brit
ish government, and therefore
would bo unable to leave. The Sail
or? Union bitterly opposed any such
step as meeting the German dele
gates on any ground while the war
is on. Their feeling against the
U boat tactics is intense.

500 of this season’s latests styles and

woolens ever arrived in Nome. We

DARLING & DEAN CO.
| COPENHAGEN, Sept. 4.—The
German view that the capture of
Riga is now a menace to the safety
of Petrograd is generally held to
be correct in this city. It gives
the Germans a much closer base for
intensive military operations which
cannot be discounted.
SUFFRAGETTES
ON DECK
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 4.—
Today the tireless efforts of the
militant suffragists were again in
evidenece when they picketted
the White House grounds.
There was an absence of the mot
attacks which have before marked
this picketting, when clerks and of
fice employees attack the women,
the arrests being effected without
much display. Eight were taken
into custody charged with illegal
efforts to obstruct the traffic which
was later changed to disorderly
conduct.

POLICE PREVENT PLAN.
MONTREAL, Sept. 4—The po
lice claim to have frustrated plans
to assassinate Premier Borden and
to dynamite the parliament build
ings. That is the claim made by
them this evening following the
arrest in this city of five anti-draft
agitators.
The anli-eonscriptionists charge
that the matter is circulated to get
them in bad.
Feeling in this city against con
scription is very strong and the po
pu ace is in an angry mood.

LITTLE WAR NEWS.
NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—There is
little news front the western
theater of war in Europe today.
The London report indicates con
tinued wet weather in tho Fland
ers sector as far south as Arras.
The French report shows cease
less artillery activity in the Aisne
and Verdun sectors, some activity
upon the part of the Germans In
the Somme, but generally rainy
weather along the west front mak
ing some extensive activities im
possible. The Berlin reports are
much to the same effect, the last
saying that no engagement of im
portance took place today.
