Show APPEAL ISSUED WARNING PEOPLE TO BE ON GUARD PETROGRAD, March 24, via London, Lon-don, 1:55 p. m. The following proclamation proc-lamation to the people of Petrograd has been issued by A. J. Guchkoff, minister of war: The enemy is menacing the capital capi-tal from two directions. First, he is concentrating continually on our northern front great quantities of munitions, supplies and men. Second, Sec-ond, he is concentrating his spies in Petrograd. Steps against the latter are an immediate necessity. It is always a difficult task to unmask these traitors who hide everywhere, ev-erywhere, seeking to cover their criminal activities under the cloak of all social conditions, all trades, wearing all uniforms, mixing themselves them-selves with the crowd in which tljey sow discord and spread distrust dis-trust among the timid and weak. To the enemy's spy system we must oppose 'that of our general staff. Citizens and soldiers should be watchful and wise, for the danger is great. Do not confound our anti-spy agents with the secret police of the old regime, who have gone forever for-ever and who are useless to the new regime which governs in accord ac-cord with the will of the people. The new regime will not permit any revival ot the old dark forces. Citizens, be prudent. Do not reveal re-veal secrets of national defense. Be vigilant and attentive. Be on guard. |
