EXODUS STARTS CRISIS SERIOUS Gulf in Vicinity of Russian Cap ital Is Well Protected by Mines NO EVACUATION IS FEARED IMMEDIATELY Petrograd, Oct. ir.—The German forces landed on Oesel Island, at the head of the Gulf of Riga are pushing east and south, placing in a difficult position the Russian forces and bat teries in the district of Arensburg, at the southern end of the Island, and especially those on the Cerel Penin sula. Military critics predict actions in the Gulf of Riga, followed by de velopment of the invasion to the mainland, on the coast of Esthonia, rather than by attempt toward the Gulf of Finland. The gulf is protect ed by mine fields, which the Ger mans would have to sweep under the menace of the Russian fleet. Exhibit Alarm. The newspapers exhibit alarm at .he landing of the Germans.

Arensburg is on the southern shore of Oeselo Island. (By Associated Press. Heavy artillery actions are again in progress on the Flanders front.

The situation on the Russian north ern front continues critical, with the Germans,overrunning the Island of Oelelo and rapidly pursuing their pro gress in gaining complete contrgl of the Gulf of Riga.

"We are nol making war on the German people, but upon an aristo cratic German government which knows no law hut the law of might, and openly asserts that no treaty or contract is of binding force, if only one is strong enough to break it,"! said Judge Bruce. "It is a war of right against might of honor against dishonor.

Our country asks not that you give a cent. It merely asks that you loan as much as you can afford. Members of Bismarck council of the United Commercial Travelers in resolutions adopted at their meeting last Saturday evening scored Gov1 ernor Frazier for his letter to peace officers virtually protecting the I. W. W. members from search his luke warm attitude toward the first issue of the liberty loan and his invitation to the People's Council to launch their sedition in North Dakota. The resolutions are identical in text with those adopted several weeks ago at Minot. They reflect the sterling Americanism of the com mercial travelers who make their headquarters in Bismarck. The grand council at St. Paul heartily en dorse this action and it is likely that other councils throughout North Da kota will adopt similar resolutions. The resolutions follow: Admonish Frazier. Whereas, our country is at war with Germany And Whereas, the president of the United States is entitled to the un qualified support of every American citizen in the successful prosecution of this war And Whereas, our governor, Lynn J. Frazier has shown by his officii!,I acts and public statements that he is rot in accord with the will of the peo ple of this loyal state And Whereas, our governor ^tlid not give unqualified support to the liberty bond campaign, and has only given half-hearted support to the war con scription act And Whereas, he attempted to guar ant.ee to the notorious so-cailod "Peo ple's Peace Council" an asylum in this state And Whereas, by a public order promulgated at the request of Arthur LeSueur, attorney for the I.
