WAR SUMMARY.

Russia's capital soon is to be removed
to its ancient site at Moscow. The gov
ernment's announcement of its decision
to shift its activities from Petrograd
assigned no reason for the change. The
issuance simultaneously of statement
that the civilian population of Reval.
the Russian naval base on the Gulf of
Finland, is being removed to the inte-
rior, suggests that the decision was not
uninfluenced by the German threat
against Petrograd now being developed
in the naval and military operations
in the Gulf OF Riga, and northward.'
Previous suggestions that the re-
moval of the government to Moscow
was contemplated had reference not
only to the military situation, but to
the assumption that the government
might be freer to pursue its work in
Moscow than in the present capital.
