IfETROGRAD. March 24. via London.
March 25. From Internal troubles and
the problems of reconstruction the at
tention of Russia has suddenly been
diverted to a new danger, which
threatens from without. . There now Is
indisputable evidence that the Ger
Xnans are massing' great numbers of
troops along the northern front ready
xor an effort against Russia s caDltal.
The country has been apprised of the
iw menace by a series of proclama
tions from its ministers.
LONDON, March 25. Router's Petro
grad correspondent says:
"War Minister Guchkoff s statement
tnat the foe is at the gate is no mere
figure of speech. The slightest relaxa
tion of vigilance and the enemy would
ce at fetrograd."
Army Moderating: Demands.
The correspondent then cautiously
refers to the repercussive action on
the troops of the consciousness that the
army had been the arbiter of Russia's
destiny, which has manifested itself in
demands incompatible with military
, discipline, and says that already there
Is news from various fronts of the
prevalence of "second thoughts."
"But," continued the correspondent.

' palgns. Moreover, reassuring reports
have been reecived from General Ruzky
and General Judenlch, who commands
tne Caucasian army.
Timid Ones Shake Heads.
"There has been much bead shak
ing, nevertheless, among the more tlm
orous inhabitants of Petrograd, large
ly a reflection of the greater freedom
allowed the press, which has opened
ine iiooagates or the pacifists and
snriekings against war loans."
The correspondent concludes by de
claring that the republican form of
government now Is assured.
bpecial dispatches from Petrograd
dated Friday, emphasized the serious
ness of the situation arising from the
merman concentration on the -Riga
Dvlnsk front with the
tain intention of attempting to break
mrougn to fetrograd. It Is argued
that the shortening of tha German
front in France Is part of a plan to
overwneim Kussla by a sudden and
tremendous blow before the countrv
can recover from the unsettling effects
w me revolution.
According to these correspondents.
Internal conditions In Russia, not
withstanding the determination of the
government and responsible leaders to
conduct the war with energy, are dis
quieting. Time Is Needed.
They say that time Is needed to re
store the discipline of the armv nnH
navy after the recent upheaval and
tney recora incidents which are hin
dering progress In this direction.
Among these is the movement of ex.
tremists to put the final overthrow of
me jrtomanorrs, the bureaucrats and
ruling classes generally In the fore
front of all national effort
This movement is indicated by the
appearance in tne socialist newspa
per, Pravada, of a resolution of the
Social Democratic party's central com
mittee inviting the soldiers to leave
the trenches and go over to the Ger
mans. It is asserted that this step
would Immediately evoke a fraternal
response among the Germans and the
war would promptly collapse, enabling
the army and people to co-operate in
overthrowing the ruling classes of
liussia.
Some soldiers, in Petrograd are said
to have spent days wrangling over the
wonderful promises held forth by the
Socialist propaganda and to have
etopped thinking about the war. which
they believe is over.
