England had more than a sympathetic in- terest in the battle, as a British sub- marine account for the German bat- tle cruiser Moltke, the loss of which, added to the destruction of two crui- sers, eight torpedo boats and four transports, constitutes the greatést naval disaster suffered by Germauy during the war. . For the last week both Petrograd and Berlin haye been sending meagre reports of naval operations in the | Gulf of Riga, which were interpret- ed to mean that Germany was at- tempting to land forces for the pur- pose of supporting the left flank or Field Marshal Von Hindenburg in his efforts to overrun the whole of Courland and thereby establish armies along the coast route to the Russian capital, Decisive Victory for Allies. | vledged concerning her attitude in the Oont At Tand ) De | ducted by the entente allies looking to 'HEART ATTACK FATAL The official Russian’ report, claim- ing a decisive victory for the allies, together with the expulsion of the survivors ‘units of the German naval forces from the gulf, contains few details in addition to an enumera- tion of German losses. It is as- sumed that, inasmuch as Petrograd | announced several days ago that her 4*large warships had retired from the | gulf, the mosquito flotilla assisted by | submarines and land defenses, wreck- ed unexpecteed destruction on a part | of the convoying German fleet and ! the transports. | The moral effect of »is sect\onE on the Russian people is expected in | London to he great, as it probably | will do much to allay the depression | incident to the Russian retreat which ~ has been arrested nowhere except in the northern sector, from Riga to ~Kovno. z Large Effect on German Plans. Rritish itary critics regard the Baltic advance of the Germans as of “supreme importance, if the invaders really contemplate marching o | Petrograd. On that account the Rus- | 5 sian naval victory may be of large effect on the German plans, Italy's declaration of war on Tur- ky has not vet led, so far as is known, to definite results, but it is expected to have great effect on Rumania, which long has been con- nected closely with Italy. From the Franco-Belgian front comes reports of artillery duels un- | Rccompanied by infantry activity. Russian Account of Battle, Petrograd, Aug. 23, via London, 12:30 p. m.—The recent naval battle in the Gulf of Riga is described as | tollows in a statement from navy headquarters: - “The German fleet on Aug. 16 re- newed with large forces its attacks on our positions at the entrance to the Gulf of Riga. Our ships during the 16th and 17th repulsed the at- tacks of the enemy, whose secret preparations for entering the gulf had been favored singularly by misty weather. Entercd Gulf During Fog. “Taking advantage of a thick fog, hostile forces 'of considerable size en- tered the gulf on the 18th and our vessels retired at the same time, con- tinuing to resist the enemy. “On the 19th and 20th the enemy reconnoitered in different directions, at the same time keeping up a fight with our ships, in which their torpe- do boat flotilla suffered material los- ses. On our side,we lost the gunboat Sivutch which perished gloriously in an unequal fight with an enemy crui- ser which was escorting torpedo craft and came up to a distance of yards from her. The Sivutch envel- oped in flames, continued to. reply shot for shot until she sank, having previously sunk enemy torpedo boats. Warships Withdrawn, of the losses suffered and the futility of his efforts, the enemy appears to have evacuated the Gulf of Riga on the 21st. “Between the 16th and 21st two . enemy cruisers and no fewer than cight torpedo boats were either sunk or placed hors du combat.

Berlin, Aug. 23, by Wireless to Say- ville, N. Y.—The Overseas News Agency today gave out the following: ‘Reports from Sofia and Constan- tinople state that Turkey and Bul- garia have signed a new treaty, Turkey granting Bulgaria her desired direct railroad connection with the sea and Bulgaria agreeing to observe a benevolent neutrality “if not more.” Unofficial reports late in July stated that a convention had been signed on July 22 by which Turkey ceded to Burgaria an Turkish portion of the Dedeaghatch Railway. The report stated that the treaty left Bulgaria un- war. That Bulgaria had not been pledged to any definite course as regards the war has been the assumption under which negotiations have been con- 4 satisfaction of her reported demands for territorial concessions from Ser- bia and Greece as the price of her ¢ntry into the war on the side of the allies. Several unofficial reports con- cerning Bulgaria's diplomatic activi- ties appeared to confirm this view. It was reported for instance in Sofla de- spatches through London on August 16 that Bulgaria had recalled from Constantinople a delegate who went there to negotiate with Turkey. T0 MAN IN SWIMMING Heroic Attempt at Rescue Made By Harry Vile at East Haddam. Despite the efforts of local men to save him, Louis Parkinson of 3,516 Quincy street, Brooklyn, N.

Germany’s naval losses in the re- cent operations in the Gulf of Riga | el and in the Baltic were “One of the most powerful dreadnoughts of the German fleet,” two cruisers and eight torpedo boats, according to the Rus- sian admiralty statement today. It had been previously announced in Petrograd that the big vessel sunk was the battle cruiser Moltke, sent to the bottom in the Baltic by a British submarine. The only Russian loss mentioned in Petrograd’s account of the Gulf of Riga engagements was that of the gunboat Sivutch, sunk after an un- equal fight with a German cruiser and torpedo craft after accounting for two German torpedo boat: German Destroyer A German torpedo boat destroyer was sunk off Ostend Sunday night by two French torpedo boats which es- caped undamaged, Par announced.
