PETROGRAD IN A FERMENT.
A LEVY EN MASSE. GERMANS TO FOUND NEW DYNASTY London, Fob. 2(5. Petrograd was thrown into a ferment in view of the apparent German intention to occupy the city. The Soviet ordered the enrolment of workmen between the ages of eighteen and fifty into the Red Army for a holy war. Snioluy is changed into a military camp, workmen assembling on masse.
The Anglo-Americans at the Em Lassies have left.
The absence of newspapers brought thousands into the streets to learn the news, but there was no panic. Speculation is rife whether the Gormans are sending Germanised Russian bands to Petrograd as saviours of society with the Duke of Hesse, brother of an ex-Czarina loading, with a view to finding a new dynasty.
