PETKOtiRAD, Oct. 13. The Ger mans landed detachments yesterday on tho coast of tho Gulf of Taftalah, on tho north of Oesel Island and near tho villago of Scrro, on the south ern part of Dago island, the war office announces. The Russian coast batteries wcro sllonced by German droadiiauKhts. Tho Germans arc working stub bornly to clear the ontrnnce to the Gulf of ltlKa nenr Courland, Bays to day's oficlal Btntemont. Tho activi ties of tho enemy in landing forces woro rendered difficult, by holes con structed by tho Russians nnd hy low visibility. Tho garrison V0f Oosol Island is fighting German forcea which landed thero. ' Important Biisc. Oesel and Dago Islands are at tho entrance to tho Gulf ot Riga and pro- vino easy access to mo mainland over small Intermediate Islands. They are off tho coast of the Russian province of Ksthonlaa. Dago Island Is about 200 miles from Petrograd. Its po sition derives additional Importance from tho fact that It is almost at tho mouth of tho Gulf of Finland, at the head of which is Kronstadt, which defends Petrograd. Oesel island is nearly 100 miles north of Rlgn, which tho Germans raptured recently. Tho landing of German troops In Ksthonla would threaten the outflanking of tho Rus sian lino and probably compel a re treat on a wldo section of the front If Indeed ltdld not open tho way to Petrograd itself.
