Washington, March 20.- Rus sian warships at Odessa escaped to Sebaetopol when the Germane took Odessa, according to a dis patch to the etato department today from American Consul Summers at Moscow, Reoent press dispatchee quoted Berlin authorities ae declaring that fif teen , ahipe were taken when the city was occupied. London, March 20, Occupation f Petrograd by the Germane ie only a matter of hours, according to dis patches from Petrograd to several of the morning papere. The Rueeian capital is aaid to be aeeuming a wait ing attitude and ie not dieplaying the slightest sign of organized resistance The uermans are. reported in a Router dispatch from Petrograd to have reached the vicinity of Dno sta tion, about 150 miles south of Petro grad. The Austro-Clerman advance in southern Russia continues. The en emy has occupied Soumy, five hours' march from Kharkov, the dispatch says. Greatest Anxiety Shown, The various reports from Russia hImo indicate the greatest anxlfty over what appears to be p. t enveloping movement the Austro-Uarman forces are carrying out against Moscow. There Is talk of moving the goverp ment, according to these advices, to Sarjoff (probably Haratoff, 450 miles southeast of Moscow), or to Nizhni Novgorod (265 miles northeast of Moscow). A Renter dispatch from Petrograd, dntxdWNIarch 19, reports the patriarch of the Russian church to have sent (i message to the orthodox population declaring that the church cannot re gard as binding a peace which dis members the country and places it under the domtnn'.lon of a conquer ing foreign power. In this connection the commifhlst Is quoted as declar ing (hat the RiiHSlnn proletariat enn not make further concessions, but must be ready to rise at any mompnt, irrespective of its state of prepared ness. Other reports from 1'ctrograd state that the council of people's conimis- onei'S has ordered the arrest of M. Mlbenko, thn commissioner of mnrln , for opposition to the ratification of the peace treaty. Petrograd dispntrhos Hied on Mnrch 13 reported that M. Hl- benko had bven missing for several dayB. Mysteriously Murdered. A Petrograd message received today carries the report that on Mondny Ight three of the people's commis sioners, names not given. 'Intrusted with the organization of the red revo lutionary navy, were mysteriously murdered. any considerations of good faith with the peace agreement. No formal explanation of- the mo tives that Impel the Germans to press their advantage to Petrograd and Mos cow ts available here, but it is known that officials regard the situation as tilled with sinister possibilities. There have been many recent hints at another peace effort by the Germans in ins near i mure, ana n inwo pre dictions are fulfilled, it Is pointed out, a vast section of Russia actually in German hands, and furnishing enor mous though undeveloped mineral and other resources for employment In the German war program, might well serve as a foundation upon wmcn to erect a compromise peace proposal. It has been suggested that with those resources in her possession, Ger many might offer even to restore Al sace-Lorraine to France, hoping there by to be left In undisturbed posses sion of the eastern field, with such a proposal could go agreement to evac uate France and ueigium, tne wnoie constituting an alluring prospect to the war-worn peoples of France and Great Britain if they did not look deeper and see the threat their states men point out In the sacrifice of Russia. Given time to develop Russian re sources, many officials here believe the Germans could well afford to surren der all they hold in the west with per fect assurance of both their economic and military future. Borne oinciais nere even expect re cruitment of the Russian peasantry into the German arm I en. Others, how ever, believe the Russian people are so thoroughly Imbued with the spirit or the revolution that no great movement of tlat sort Is to be expected. Forced to Leave Field. The rapid advance of the German forces through Atlanta, it Is admitted here, is serving to cut off a great part of the Russian population from any ef fective means of counteracting Ger man propaganda. Already all repre sentatives of allied thought and pur pose have been forced to abandon the field or be captured by the advancing Germans.

What ever the reply, however, it was said, the ships would be taken.
