MOVED TO MOSCOW
WASHINGTON. D. (’.. April 4.—
Transfer of the Russian capital from
Petrograd to its ancient site at Mos
cow is regarded as highly probable
in entente circles here which have
kept closely advised regarding the
situation in Russia. The belief is
founded upon reports that Petrograd
is swarming with spies; that it is un
der the influence of the pro-German
elements; that the real seat of reform
for the present triumph is in Moscow,
and that such a change would appeal
strongly to the people.
Moscow also is regarded as much
more secure against a drive by the
German army which is believed to bo
impending.

FAMOUS PRISONS
GIVEN NEW USES
PLYMOUTH. April 4.—The famous
Dartmoor prisons at Princet.own. on
the Prince of Wales duchy estate, are
to be emptied of their convict inhabi
tants and turned over the war de
partment as barracks for a regiment
of conscientious objecters who will
be employed on some ahitious agri
cultural schemes which the Priiic*5 j
of Wales is to institute />n his prop j
erty. .
Dartmoor prisons are of peculiar j
interest to Americans, for they were j
built ust over a century ago to ac-;
coniodate American war prisoners j
captured in the war of 1812, as well!
as a few French prisoners from the j
Napoleonic campaigns. The American
prisoners, chiefly sailors captured at
sea. were landed at Plymouth anil
interned at Princetown until the end
of the war.
Twice in their history as .1 war es
tablishment the Dartmoor prisons
were the seme of serious mutinies,
one by the French and another by the
American prisoners. Both were due
to complaints about the bread rations
issued lo the prisoners and in the
more serious outbreak by the Ameri
cans seven of the mutineers were shot
down and a great many more wound
ed. No reopeniug of the prisons as a
place of criminal detention is contem
plated, as the isolation and climatic
conditions are not considered favor
able.
