Rumor of German Attack
BY ASsocintcd Press

London. April 25.-An exodus of
civilians from Petrograd is reported
in a dispatch from the Russian cap
ital. One permit office was besleged
on Tuesday morning by 500 peopFi
Inquiries among them were answered
by a shrug of the shoulders and the
favorite Russian reply, "Who
knows?"
The correspondent says the reluct-
ance of the travellers to explain their
motives is due to the necessity OF
giving an adequate reason to the Of
ficials before securing a permit and
suspicion that their questioner was
connected with the government. lie
says the anxiety to leave the city is
generally attributable to the fear of
a German advance on the capital. In
order to secure seat on train for
Moscow it is now necessary to book
