RUSSIA'S LAND AND SEA WARFARE.
Josuos, Aug. 22, 11.00 pm. The Petrograd communique says; The enemy's fleet has left the Gulf of Riga. Our hand front remains firm in the region of Rigs and in the direction of Jacobstadt-Dvinsk towards the west.
..
There has been no direct news from Novogeorgievsk sinco August 20, but the latest information furnished by aviators shows that the situation of the fortress at nightfall on the 20th was so difficult that there was no reason to hope that the garrison would offer further resistance. The positions of the troops generally aro stationary along the whole front. The enemy since the evening of the 20th have attacked obstinately, in the region of Bielsk and from Vlodarn to Pichtừ but were beld by our counter-attacks. Our torpedo boots have surfka hundred Turkish sailing. ships in the Black Sea..
COTTON AS CONTRABAND.
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
Losoos, August 28.-
The Foreign Office statement regarding the declaration of cotton as contraband gives figures of the imports of raw wastu cotton into Scandinavia and Holland for the last three months as compared with the normal average importation for those. three mouths. The figures. show that during those mouths the importation of cotton has not been. substantially greater than in tines of peace and it may therefore bu safely deduced that, apart from any other reasures that have been taken, Germany has hot since May received any considerable supply of cotton through those countries. It is not to be anticipated that owing to the declaration of cotton as contraband there will be any great difference in the importation of cotton into the countries concerned, and there is nơi reuson to suppose that American or Egyptian exporters of cotton will in future be in a less advantageous position than they have been during the last three months.
