It i zested that the congress of the coun- cils will be made the pretext for evacuating Petrograd, under the ex- cuse that it is necessary for the gov- ernmental departments to attend the congress. Opposition to the Germans is said to be greater in the Moscow and pro- vincial councils than in Petrograd. Reuter's Petrograd correspondent, telegraphing Monday, says: “It seems improbable that peace treaty will be ratified by the the 12. The delay of a fortnight grant- ed by the Germans for ratification constitutes an opportune respite for the Soviets, which probably will be utilized in the organization of a red army and the development of means of defense. “By a decision reached at an extra- ordinary meeting of the Council of Commissaries—which was published before the signing of the peace treat: -—the evacuation of Petrograd is con- templated together with a systematic destruction of all stores of provisions and war materials which cannot be removed.” A Petrograd dispatch to the Ex- change Telegraph Company, dated Monday evening, says that a German iirplane appeared over Petrograd at Airplanes also were seen Nevsky Prospect, and the ped bombs. flying over aiming at Nicholas station.

Geddes Also Declares More Sub- | marine Are Being Sunk London, March 6.—Sir Eric Geddes, First Lord of the Admiralty, an- nounced in the house of commans yesterday that the shipping lo due to submarines were steadily decreas- ing and that the losses to the world’s tonnage during February was little more than half the loss during Feb- urary last vear. The curve of continued downward, he said. Submarines were being destroyved in increasing numbers, he declared, and, as the methads employed against them | were developed, the numbers would be enlarged still further There was a growing reluctance on the part of Ger. man crews to put to sea, he asserted The chances that a submarine would return from a vo, in the waters around England we put at one in four or one in five. “For some manths,” said he, believe that we and the Americans have been sinking submarines as t as they are built The First Lord rate of exaggeration in the German reports of tonnage alleged to have been sunk increasing steadily. The exaggeration in the second quarter of the perfod of unrestricted submarine warfare was twice that of the first quarter. The rat thirg and fourth quarters w and four times that of the first quar- ,and in January four and one- half times the first quarter, As a matter of fact, he said, loss for the five months ended with February was 10 per cent. less than the loss during the corresponding months of the year previous, although during four months of the latter per- iod unrestricted submarine war had not been proclaimed by the enemy. Brazil's o ST asserted that was| the Warships to Assist. He also said the naval forces of the Allies in European waters soon would be augmented by a force of Brazilian warships. “I have stated,” the First Lord con- tinued, “that the curve of losses of merchant shipping continues down- ward. This statement is as true to- day as when previously made. It is true there have been bad weeks and bad months. February was, in com- parison with recent standards, a bad month. But on the other hand, Janu- ary was a good one. “As to the curve of the loss in the world’s tonnage, only two months of the current quarter have elapsed, but assuming the March loss to be as high as that of February I find that the falling curve continues.” Regarding the rate of ship pro- Sir Eric said that instead of a rise there had been a serious drop. “Why?"” he asked. “The main fact iz that owing to labor unrest and strike difficulties the men in the yards are not working as if the life of the country depended on their ex- ertions. The employers are perhaps all they could. The long strain of the war must have an effect their nerves as upon everyone cise.
