The landing of German troops on the islands of Oesel and Dago, at the en trance to the Riga gulf, is reported from Petrograd. From the shore's edge at Haphal, opposite. Dago island, a railroad runs direct to Reval, the Russian naval base and thence to Petrograd. The island has been of im portance to the Russian bases partic ularly for airplane activities. Then seizure would undoubtedly hamper Russian naval scout work, close the Gulf of Riga to the Russians and ap parently offer an excellent starting point for a land expedition against Petrograd. It is believed the lateness, of the season ' woul dnot permit that now, however. Heavy rain continues in Flanders. The Germans failed to counter-attack last night. The Teutons attacked sev earl times on the Aisne front but were repulsed. GERMANS LAND ON BALTIC ISL ANDS London, Oct. 13.

BONDS Coast to Coast Aerial Raid in Order to Raise the Needed Cash (Special to the Star) Atlanta, Oct. 13. On receipt of a telegram from Washington today an nouncing a coast-tocoast aerial raid on hundreds of cities throughout the United States In behalf of the second Liberty Loan, it was noted that no city or community in the sixth feder al reserve district has been included in the program of the flyers. Chairman St. Elmo Massengale - of the publicity committee for this dis trict, immediately wired the publicity department in Washington calling at tention to this oversight and insist ing that the sixth district should be included in these aerial visits which will begin on October 20. According to schedule, forty-five aviators and eight balloonists armed with paper bombs, will ascend for flights hanging from fifteen to 150 miles and covering the entire coun try from the Atlantic to the Pacific, excepting, it seems, the southeastern section. This oversight may be rem edied as the result of the efforts of the sixth district committee. ' Each of the aeroplanes will carry about 175 pounds of paper bombs containing lit erature on the second Liberty Loan, which will be dropped in various cities over which they pass. There will also be a special bomb dropped in each city containing a message to the mayor. It is anticipated that ar. rangements -will be made for a sim ilar fly over the sixth district. At a- special meeting of the Geor gia State Council of Defense, presid ed over by Governor Dorsey, it was resolved to work in harmony with the Liberty Loan committee and make ev ery effort to increase the sale of bonds in Georgia. Governor Dorsey announced he would issue a special proclamation on the subject at once, pointing out the urgency of the case and appealing to all Georgians to sub scribe. - . ' ' Encouraging reports are coming from some few cities of 'the district, although the aggregate sales of bonds has been unusually small. While subscriptions of several mill ions in the aggregate have been an nounced, the actual purchases to date as recorded at the Federal Reserve bank here . are ' scarcely $1,000,000. Only sixteen more days of the cam paign remain, including Sundays, and within that time the sixth district must take not less than $90,000,000 to $100,000,000 worth. In some few cities of the district mas meetings are being held at which subscriptions are being taken. There was a mass meeting iiT Athens, Ga., this week and the subscritpions ag gregated more than $100,000. . The city of Cordele, has invested its en tire sinking fund of $32,000 in Liberty Bonds. The following statement from Car dinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, was wired to the executive committee of the sixth federal reserve district to day: "Subscriptions should be made to the second Liberty Loan even though personal " sacrifices are . involved," Cardinal Gibbons declared. "In order to be of some help to the government and encourage others by example, I am subscribing to the extent of my limited means. I hope this and other manifestations of my endorse ment of the loan will be of service to you in bringing to the minds of all our citizens the vital importance of their most earnest co-operation in subscribing to the loan, even though it requires personal sacrifice." News comes from Washington to the executive committee that it will be as simple and as convenient a matter to collect interest on Liberty bonds as is calling for mail at the postoffice. Postmasters all over the United States have been instructed by ostmaster General Burleson to cash coupons or treasury warrants is sued in payment of interest upon Lib erty Bonds upon presentation. Xhe postmasters will be reimbursed for these payments direct from Washing ton. Practically every bank will also pay these-coupons and treasury war rants, btu in order that there may be no difficulty in making the collection at any point, the government has also authorized the postmasters to pay them.
