Almost simul- taneously German warships which at- ! tempted to seize the Gulf of Riga and attain a strategic position to assist the troops ashore were dispersed and damaged. The assemblage of German craft was the largest of any engaged in the naval actions of the war thus far, with the exception of the allied squadron at the Dardanelles. It nosed its way towards Riga much after the | manner of the British ships ranged i off the Beigian coast last fall. The fact that German warships were { forced to retire is a source of satis- faction to the British press, which finds encouragement in the resistance of the Russians in this northeastern theater in contrast to their retirement elsewhere. The British advance in the yicinity of Hooge, while not comparable with the tremendous aétions in Poland, marked the most important engage- ment in which the British army has figured since the battle of Festubart in May. The gain was small and still has to be maintained against the al- most inevitable German counter at- tacks. + Balkan Sitistion Chabtic, The Balkan situation is still chaotic. Despatches from Saloniki say that the Austro-German plan to strike again at Serbia already has found expres- sion in a concentration of Teutonic forces along the Serbian «---::-- 1t is said 100,000 men have been massed near Orsova, Hungary, which may be | the forerunner of the predicted cam- paign through Serbia for the relief of Turkey. Italy as yet has not de- clared war on Turkey but Athens re- ports that Italian consuls are leaving the Ottoman Empire, entrusting their affairs to their American colleagues. If this be true, it probably means that impending developments in the Balkans dictated the auction of Italy. It has been rumored frequently that Italy would send troops to assist France and England in the Gallipoli operations, but thus far such reports have not been borne out, and the Porte and Rome maintain surface re- i lations of nations at peace. Ridicule Peace Overtures, Tor Germany’s reported peace over- tures to Russia the British press finds only sarcasm. Virtually all papers reiterate editorially what officials | have insisted so often, that there can be no peace until the allies have i ained victory. Tt is pelieved gener- ! ally in England that Germany is will- ing to conclude peace as matters stand, but the burden of all written and spoken comment is that such a situation would be impossible from the standpoint of the allies. PIGGERY CASE IS CONTINUED A WEEK ! | Judge Decides On Adjournment When | Investigators Fail to Return Case Before Gavel Falls. Judge John H. Kirkham in police court this morning continued for ore week the case of John Dobrowlsky, charged with keeping & piggery violation of a health ordinance. Health Superintendent Reeks and Ascistant Sanitary Inspector John O’Brien had gcne out to see whether Dobrowlgky had complied with the | former’s order to abolish the piggery. | As they did not return before court adjourned the case was continued. | Debrowisky was charged with keep- | ing a piggery without a permit and with keeping it in such a manner as | to become a police nuisance. He was arrested on complaint of the health | board a couple of weeks ago and the | case was continued. In the mean- time Dobrowlsky moved his pigs to | a remote corner of the old Murtha | farm on Clinton street. He is rc;v~! resented by Judge W. F. Mangan. | Gas Housc Man Fined. Willlam Wallace was charged with | assaulting Frank Kavinckl. The | two men work at the gas house and got into an argument over authority vesterday noon. ’ Kavinski claimed that Wallace was issuing orders and when he challenged his right to do so he grabbed a pai | and attempted to hit him. The two grappled for possessicn of the pail | when Wallace grabbed up @ heavy | piece of iron and struck him over | the head. Compiaint w made to | Officer Strolls and following an in- vestigation Wallace wa: avrested. Wallace said he and Kavinski becn cn good terms all vesterday | morning but at noon time persuant to the foreman's order, he told a fel- low worker to do a certain piecce of | work. Kavinski objected to Wal- | lace giving the other man orders and | the argument ensued. He said he | did use the iron bar but just pushead | it at Kavinski., Wallace sald he has worked at the gas hcuse for fifteen vears and never had any trouble be- fore. In fact, he sald, it was he who got Kavinksi his job. Attorney H. P. Roche appeared for the accused and pleaded on a theory of self defense. A fine of $5 ana | costs was imposed and the accused was placed on probation until it is paid. m had Arata Fined $5. John Arata was fined $5 and costs fer lascivious carriage, the complaint against him being made by the par- ents of Josephine Olmstead. It was ‘aleged that Arata made improper advances toward the girl as she was in the store in which he works buying popcorn on Sunday night. The case was heard in chambers. Smith Is Let Go. Judgment was suspended in the case of Walter Smith, who was ar- rested at Dudjack’s saloon at the cor- ner of North and Sexton streets yes- terday for being drunk and making a disturbance.
