German naval forces of consider-
able strength have been observed
in the southern Baltic, taking a,
northerly course, The leading

and torpedo-boats, with cruisers
following, and is believed to be
the German Baltic fleet reinforced
‘by part of the high seas fleet.
Great naval attacks on Russian
_ Baltie coast towns are expected,

Petrograd: An ‘encouraging
feature of the Riga situation is
the seeming firmness of the Rus-
sian resistance, * The German
pursuit appears to be slowing up
and in military circles it is not
anticipated that the énemy will
risk further penetration while
Dvinsk - remains unconquered,
According to information, the
spirit of the troops i in the Dvinsk
sector is much’ more favorable
than on other fronts.

‘Washington: Sweden has been
acting as a medium for transfer-
ring’ ‘German messages‘from the
German charge d’affaires at Ar-
gentina via Stockholm to Berlin.

with Sweden and Argentina will
likely go ‘into the war directly
against the Huns, “Washington
has issued a statement showing
that ship movements were dis-
closed in this manner. ,

issued from Ottawa ordering the
demobilization of all units of the

advised the U.S. that - Wilson’s
