NIGHTMARE OF
BLOODSHED POSSIBLE.

COPENHAGEN. March THE
German military authorities have
decided upon drastic measures %
put down disorder in the districts
Of Russia that they have seized. It
was reported today. A nightmare Of
bloodshed is in prospect.
Advices from Petrograd said that
the Russo German treaty had not
been ratified. but that this formal
action would be forthcoming either
late this week or early next.
The turbulence and anarchy pre-
vailing at PetrOgrad and elsewhere
have led to reports that a part Of
the army would refuse to recognize
the treaty and would continue to
fight the Germans. This would be a
difficult undertaking however, il the
treaty is ratified by the soviets. be-
cause they represent practically al
the units of the Russian army.
The congress of councils of work
mems and soldiers delegates of All
Russia is scheduled 10 convene next
Tuesday at Moscow when a stormy
session is in prospect. The Moscow
committee was previously opposed
to peace with the central powers
and was in favor of a holy war;
against the Germans, but it is un-
derstood that it is now willing TO ac-
cept the German terms, as humiliat-
ing as they are.
