RED ARMY
CLOSING IN
ON CAPITAL
MOSCOW, Sept. 25.—-(AP>—
The Red Army today closed in
on the Latvian capital of Riga,
in climax to a successful Baltic
offensive, Moscow announced. *
While front-line dispatches
were telling of local battles in
the Lithuania frontier, East Prus
sia heralded the poss ble large
scale invasion drive on the Junk
er province, the narrow land cor
ridor still offered a chance of es
cape to the trapped Germans of
ti e Riga garrison, but Red Army
columns approaching from the
north and east, made large gains
and the mop-up of Estonia is
nearly complete, as large portions
of General Govorov’s Leningrad
army moved southward along
the gulf of Riga.
Soviet naval forces yesterday
captured the Baltic seaport) of
Paldiski, on the Estonian west i
coast.
General Chemiakhovsky’s fore
es, the only Soviet army yet to
reach Prussian soil, has been held
static in trench warfare lor over
a month, by prolongation of en
emy resistance in the Baltic
state at his flank and rear.
Moscow said that Russian
troops were crossing from south
ern Poland through Lupkow pass
into Czechoslovakia, ■ and have
captured Humenne, 25 miles in
side that republic.
A Bucharest communique said
that Russian-Romanian troops
had crossed the southeastern
Hungarian frontier and are be
lieved to be less than 35 miles
from Hungary’s second city, in a
double push designed to knock
the weakening Hungary out of
the war.
All of the German-Hungarian
troops are strung out in eastern
Slovakia, and northern Transyl
vania, and are in danger of be
ing tropped.
There are more than 1,000 im
portant uses for cotton.
Rain falls on Brest about 200
days of the year.
