VISITING RUSSIANS
MAKE BROAD ASSERTION
Would Be Glad if Germans Did Take
Petrograd.

The intelligent Russian today would
be glad to see Petrograd fall into the
hands of the Germans. 1t is a hotbed
of Teutonic intrigue, breeding place
for spies, net of anarchy, and the
whole Russian cause would prosper
if it were openly taken and branded
as a German stronghold.
This is the word brought to the
northwest by the members of the Rus
sian mission, the third foreign mission
to visit this section since the United
States entered the war.

Bigger Submarines.

Another report which has been max
ing the rounds Is that German SUBJ
marines recently have been making IT
a practice of sparlng all passenger
ships they encounter. The only basis
for this belief, 1t was said is the fact
that fewer passenger ships have been
sunk. They have been attacked, how
ever, but in most cases have escaped.
There have been no German subma-
rines near the American coast since
this nation entered the war, so far as
the navy department has learned. A
submarine has been sighted nearly In
mid-Atlantic. but that Is the nearest
approach one is known to have made.
The navy department has evidence
that Germany is increasing the size OF
her submarines nearly to the proper
ton of small cruisers. This evidence
was obtained by ocular observation, 10
part, and also from the fact that the
submarines now are mounting guns or
nearly six inches In bore. fragments
of shells falling on merchant SHIPS
hive disclosed the size of the guns.
