RUSS IN FLIGHT
FROM PETROGRAD
Evacuation OF Capital Continues
Day and Night.
TROOPS AND SAILORS FLEE
Soldiers Consider Their Military Serv-
ice Terminated and Rush Home
With Loot to Await Division
of Land.

Chicago, March IA special cable
gram to the Chicago Daily News from
Petrograd says:
THE evacuation of Petrograd contin-
ues and practically the whole govern
ment personnel has gone to Moscow.
xhe technical sections of the govern
ment institutions are removing the ma
terial as rapidly as trains are prepared
to receive it. The soldiers of the PEI
trograd garrison and the sailors in the
warships on the Neva, considering their
military service terminated. are pro-
ceeding home. carrying as spoils all
movable materials and equipment.
DAY and night motortrucks laden
with every manner Of thing thrown to-
gether in riotous confusion type
writer's and machine guns, mattresses
and bombs-move toward the railroad
station, following the street car tracks
to avoid the heavy banks of aecumu-
lated snow.
Crews Divide Ships Equipment.
when the soviet decided to evacu-
ate Petrograd the crews of the three
warships in the Neva held meetings
and decided that as far as they were
concerned the war was over and that
each sailor was free to return to his
village. The silver plate, crockery, and
every particle of the movable equip
ment were divided and distributed so
that each member of the crew re-
ceived approximately an equal share.
"A sailor presiding at one of the
meetings presented resolution au-
thorizing the distribution with the ar
gument that the warships formerly be-
longed to the car, but that the revo-
luton made them the peoples prop
erty. AS 1t was impossible TO divide
equally the three cruisers among $780,
100000 people of Russia, the crews of
those three ships had a perfect right
TO divide the materials. provided they
relinquished claim to any other prop
critics of the former car.
Regiments Appropriate Supplies.
Everything in the Russian army
and navy is now in process of liquida-
ton in a similar manner. Regiments
are ulNiuluS CatStls ItoStNt CiOttitlS duu
supplies. The automobile units are
selling their motors and supplies ard
dividing the proceeds, while the COM
missariat is making an equal distribu-
ton of food.
The psychological formula of the sol
der units today is TO gather all the
loot and spells possible. divide them
equally, and return to their native viii
lagos as quickly as they can for the
purpose of being present when the
land is redistributed.

action. With details lacking as to how
Archie received his wounds. the colo
mel said, he associated the receipt of
the cross with this exploit.
Before Major Roosevelt's cablegram
regarding his brother was received, it
had been assumed that the cross was
conferred upon Archie" in connection
with an experience he had earlier in
the war. Regarding this earlier ex-
perienee the colonel took few news
paper men into his confidence some
months ago.
Led Successful Raid.
The colonel said then that he had re-
ceiyed word that archie" had led a
raiding party out into "No Mans
Land" at night and that he was under
fire. At the time the colonel was talk
ing announcement had been made that
Archie" had been jumped from sec
ond lieutenant to captain, and the
colonel assumed that 1t was for that
action.
A few weeks ago the former presi-
dent sent cablegram to his son In
forming him that baby, named Archi-
bald b. Roosevelt, Jr., had been born
to the captains wife, who was Miss
Grace S. Lockwood of Boston.
Wife Shows Patriotism.
Boston, March 14.-"I am proud of
my husband" Mrs. Archie b. Roose-
welt said when informed of the cable
message received by Colonel Roosevelt
stating that he had been wounded in
action.
Although cablegrams were sent to
Captain Roosevelt several weeks ago
announcing the birth Of son, Mrs.
Roosevelt said no answer had been re
ceived ana inst the family had been
unable to learn whether they had
reached him.

that German and Hungarian

and the great grain port Of Russia.
1t is within the sphere of partition

upon Russia, and the announcement of

also toward Odessa.
Kiev was taken from the bolsheviki,
and the Teutonic drive continued

The. capture Of Odessa assures the
kaiserite clique of control of the great

troops in Mesopotamia and Palestine,

The import of this clause, consider

and anxiety to aid Turkey, is now
made clear.
