FATE OF RUSSIAN FLEET.
LONDON, Feb. 24,
The rapidity of the German advance to Reval Avill decide the fate of the Russian Baltic Fleet, which is icebound there, and the Helsingfors fleet, the crews of which deserted.
They include four dreadnoughts, seven big cruisers, and 64 destroyers. The capture of the big ships Avould not affect British superiority, but- the destroyers Avould prove most useful to Germany. It is expected that she will attempt to secure the Russian Black Bea fleet, but the Allies would mine the Dardanelles#
A Russian official message states that Krylenko has ordered a revolutionary mobilisation for guerilla Avarfare in every street, village, and toAvn if the Germans refuse to conclude peace.
