London, Oct. 14—The war office has {ssued u report from the British miesion at Helsingfors, dated Ootober 10 which says that at that time all Lottish troops in Riga had been with- drawn to the oast bank of the Duna river, the bridrxes having been blown up. When the dispatch was filed the Lotts and Germano-Russians were ex- changing rifle flre across'the river and the section of the city still in the hands of the former was being hombarded with gas shells and also bombed by alrplanes. Esthonian armored trains had ar- rived over the Riga-Pskov railway to support the Letts and were re- plying to the German fire. The Brit- | ish mission denies assertions made by Col. Avaloff-Bermondt to the effect that Letts and Esthonians commenced | hostilities on the lines of demarcation west of Riga. A later dlspatch filed at Helslng. fors on Ooctober 12 by the British mission confirms press reports that the Lettish government, which fled from Riga at the approach of the Germano-Russian forces, had returned to the city.

Dispatches received here state that all the prisoners taken by the Letts have been Bavarians.

Blockade measures being rigidly enforced in the Baltic six German merchant ships having been captured by one British de- stroyer. GOVT. GETS BIG SLICE are seemingly World Series iames War Tax Amounts to As Much As Each Club Owner Receives. Chicago, Oct. 15.—Nearly as much money was paid to the United States ! in war tax as accrued to the club own- ers of cach of the teams that partici- pated in the recent world's series, it was estimated today. For the eight games $73,239 was paid to the government as war tax, while Charles A. Comiskey of the Chicago White x and Garry Herrmann of the Cin- cinnati Reds got approximately $95, 000 each. But from that amount, it stated, it was necessary to deduct expenses of erecting temporary seats, players' salaries. the cost of transporting the players from one city to the other and their hotel bills, | clubs about the same amount as went to the government.

The ships were anchored in the Duna | River when the Germans started offensive, so that the vessels were between the fighting lines. Warning shots were fired by the Ger mans, but it was a quarter of an hour before the motor ships were able to get under way. | Meanwhile, the Germans let flv a' few missiles in order to warn the British and Fremch destroyers in the harbor, and soon the war -craft steamed outward under cover of the Tettish artillery.
