AWAITING FATE
Passive Attitude Is Assumed.
Aus'tro-German Advance
Continues.
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

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.

1 London, March 20. The condi
tions laid down by the Dutch for
eign minister for the acceptance
of the demands of the associated
governments as regard the tak
ing over of Dutch shipping are
not likely to be acceptable to
those governments, according to a
Router dispatch from The Hague,
filed yesterday. It adds, however,
that a concession may be made
to the extent that the arming of
the Dutch vessels may not be in
sisted upon.
Washington, March 20. Holland's
reply in the shipping negotiations is
on the cables, the government was ad
vised today, and is expected to arrive
before night.
The American and British govern
ments were ready to take ovfer all
Dutch vessels in their waters Monday,
but seizure was delayed here pending
wor dthut the Netherlands government
had acceded to their demands. What
ever the reply, however, it was said,
the ships would be taken.
Seizure was delayed chiefly because
of a desire to show every courtesy to
the Dutch government, but It has been
Indicated for several dayo that neither
the United States nor Great BrUain
would go through another long scries
of negotiations.
