Thou- sands of thorn have been slaughtered. Hundreds of thousands of Jews, old men, women and children, are being driven mercilessly from town to town driven by the Government, attacked by the troops of their' own country, plundered' and outraged. Upward ot 400,000 Jows are Achtlng for IJusala In the armies, flRhtlns bravely and loyally. The list of Jewish heroes M to InrRe that the Uusslan cencor has commenced to suppress their Jewish names. The horrors of Kishineff and Homel and the pogroms that were organized In hundreds of Russlun towns on the earno day attracted universal attention and were condemned by the entire civilized world because those pogroms ere made In times of peace. The .situation of the Jews In Russia f f.ir sr.ivcr Tho wholesale pulsions, the executions of Jews witmmt trial, now- - occur when their trethern am giving their lives for thcr country. An unparalleled con-p.ra- against the f ntlre Jewish pop-u!- a ion of Russia is at this time being organized In order to cover nnd excuse the demoralization and defeats of tho llujsian troops and to make It for the Jews to get recog- nition In the form of equal rights after the war is ended. The Relglans were ruined, massa- cred. The whole world was shocked. Vnlversal sympathy was aroused. The world was most generous In Its re- spond. It has given bread to the starving and hopo to the ruined na- tion. ' The Polish people, too, are ruined. Their fields, drenched with blood, are desolate. Their towns nre destroyed. xneir Industries paralyzed, their women an investigation nava promises r.nii.n. hope for a rejuvenated, united and autonomous Poland. The Jews of Russia are tortured and massacred, but not a ray of hope Is held out to them. The world !oes know of the horror that are heing perpetrated upon them In Russia while the war Is going on. The Rus-'- n censorship Is to strict that It is almost by a miracle thav atly news fscapes from the house of death the provinces known as the Jewish Pale of Settlement. On January 20 I received a cable- gram from-th- e Russian Prime Minis- ter .M Goremykin, which read as fol- lows: "Reports Jewish pogroms in Polish towns nonsense." The Russian Premier's cablegram "s an answer to my as to MiMlier there waa truth In the reports "t pogroms contained In thousands of letters that reached America from Ituss.an Poland letters from relatives of victims of these pdiyroms. Oeorg Brandes, the Kret lianlsh author, had already written his masterly essay on the Jew-t- h pogroms In the Polish provinces. On February 9, 1916, M. Sazonov, th Russian Minister of Foreign Af- fairs declared In the Duma: "Among the malevolent Inventions "cure reports of Jewish pogroms "huh Russian trooii are alleged to li'ivn organized, I selso this oppor- tunity of speaking In the parliamen- tary tribune to deny this calumny categorically, for If the Jewish popu-litiu- n In tho theatre of war Is that Is an Inevitable evil, since tliu inhabitants of the regions where tho hostilities nro proceeding always ha' i,(.(.n severely tried." v'rt, wo have In this a "i ' nf Russian Dr. Dei nburg, M. Ff' Uyromyatnll'nff, the editor of th defunct Hoiilya, the Russian fmi-ofilci- organ, which waa known tr i(h reactionary and antl-Jewli- h I'Cillnei, M. Syromyatnlkoff seems to Prime Minister Goremykin. have realized that the tactics employed by his newspaper in Kusila would not do In this country: that he must conduct his campaign hero upon dif- ferent lines If he would win the sym- pathy of the American people for Russia. So he Hatters the American people and denies the atrocities thai are committed by the Russian Gov- ernment against the Jews. I met M. Syro'myatnlkoff In Wash- ington last January. I nsked him about the reported atrocities against the Jews in Russia and about the prospects of the Jewish people secur- ing human rights In Rursla at the close of the war. I asked him whether ho thought the Russian Government would permit a commission to inves- tigate the reported outrages In tho Polish provinces and I expressed the opinion that Mnce Prime Minister Goremykin was so sure that the pog rom reports were "nonsense," the Rus sian Government should welcome such and children are starving. But I u.ry xnat give mem t s.mmvnnit,nrr even not inquiry a?d suffer-Ift- S. o country s now A Russian Prime Minister always tells the truth. I travelled through the J'ollah provinces recently. It Is true'hat Jews are executed there. The Poles denounce the Jews ns spies to the Russian authorities and the Rus-sla- n troops, having no time to Inves- tigate matters, Rlmply shoot them down or hang them." Concerning the prospects for the Jew? of Russia after the war, he said: "The Jews are on trial now. They are acquitting themselves splendidly. They are loyal and they are brave. Although the Czar has made no prom- ises to Improve their condition after the war he will probably do some- thing for them In recognition of their services In the war. I have no au- thority to say anything definite, on this subject. At any rate, I believe that the Czar will leave the qutlon of Jewish rights for the Imperial Duma to decide." M. Syromyatnlkoff thus treats the accounts of the Russian pogroms hi a signed statement published In American newspapers: "My American friends ask me: 'Is It true that the Russian Government Is as cruel and oppressive as it Is rep- resented to be by certain American papers? Is It true that the victory of Russia In this war would mean tho growth of aggressive and a menace to Western civilization? Is It true that the Russian soldiers In- dulge themselves In hanging Jews by the hundreds and In violating their wives and daughters? Is It true that the Russian peoplo are but a host of barbarians?' These questions prove to me how much American public opinion is Interested In all things Rus-la- n and how scarce aro tho sources from which Americans can get trust- worthy Information about real Rufsl.i. "I know that the horrible sstnrlra of the alleged atrocities of the Russian soldiers and otllccrs against Jews in Poland come here from Berlin, but to believe In them I would like to have some verified material from the other side too, si as to Juilgn each separate case. I was on the Polish front dur- ing the months of September and October nnd 1 visited a lot of towns and villages letween the old Austrian frontier and Warsaw. "The Polish peasants used to tell me stories of Jews who spied for Germans and served them as guides. But the only reason which they could give me for their accusations waa that they had seen and heard tho Jews talking German with the German soldiers and otllcers. That is true, inasmuch as every Jew speaking Yiddish, a cor- rupted German of the seventeenth century, can be understood by a Ger- man and can understand a German speaking modern Germnn. "I do not know how many Jews were court-martlall- by tho Russian military authorities, but I know that very many of them were shot and cruelly treated by Germans." Prime Minister Goremykin called tho pogrom reports "nonsense"; Min- ister of Foreign Affairs Sazonov branded such reports as "malevolent Inventions," nnd M. Syromyatnlkoff Is trying to minimize these ntrocltlcs by declaring: "1 do not know how many Jews were court-martlall- by the Russian military authorities, but I know that very many of them were shot and cruelly treated by Germans." These statements are made by Rus- sian statesmen for the purpose of In- fluencing public opinion outside of Russia. The speeches made bv two members of the Duma, Kerensky and Ohkeldze, in answer to M, Sazonov enumerating the pogroms and atroci- ties against the Jews were suppressed. Not a line waa published In the Rus- sian or the foreign prewi about the statements of these courageous mem- bers of the Duma. In the course of his speech In the Imperial Duma In answer to M, Sazonov Deputy flikeldzp said: "The rlifht of nationalities to develop freely Is proclaimed here; we hear of the liberation and unification of Poland, of the liberation of tho south- ern Slavonians and so forth; tho samo time the old policies of oppress- ing nationalities nnd of Inciting na- tionalist passions are pushed to un- precedented extremes, "This crying contrast between "words and deeds stands out In boldest relief especially with regard to the Jewish nation. Hundreds nf thousands of Russian Jewish subjects togethe.-wlt- h others nre on tho battlefield, and yet tho yoke of their rlghtlessness Is not relieved for a moment, even In cases of Jewish soldiers who nro wounded. "Not satisfied with this, the servants of tho reaction nro persistently and systematically spreading wild rumors nnd libels against the Jewish people, These policies hnvo already led, In regions nearest tho theatre nf war, to the shedding of u sen of lilooil and to tho destruction of tho entlrei property of the peaceful Jewish population." This Is what a Russian member of Sazonov, Foreign Minister. the Duma said In answer tn M. j Sazonov'g sweeping denial made In the Duma. Though the Russian censorship Is sflcter Jhan ever before, there arrive "iero from time to time letters contain- ing descriptions of the horrors experi- enced 'by the Jews of Russia during this war. Recently I received a strik- ing note bearing; the postmark ot Minsk, Russia, and the stamp of the ccutor who apparently approved It. In it was the following tragic plen: "DtAn Mr. Bernbtwn: Wo have read In the newspapers that you heard about the Jewish massacres In Poland. You cannot Imagine how the Cossncks nre plundering our brethren. They are ruining us. I come from Poland, where I was plundered by our troops, the Cossacks. The authorities are send- ing Innocent old Jows men and women to Siberia. We have written you many letters from Poland about our troubles, but you are not getting them. "Dear brethren, have mercy on the six million Jews In Russia and take our pnrt! Ask the Russian Ministers why we are clng tortured so merci- lessly. Our children are slaughtered In the Russian army. "We are con- tributing large sums of money too. But we are attacked from all sides. We have no rights. We are driven from the villages. Wherever they can find filth they cast It upon us. "O Lord, make an end to our suffer- ings! We have no strength to endure them any longer. This letter U written with tenrs and blood. I wanted to write much more, but I am sure that such a letter would not reach you. "From a Polish Sufferer, "CtUIM WOLINSKJ." In 1912, while I was travelling In Kurope as special correspondent for Tub Sunpat Sun, I visited the Russo-Germa- n frontier towns, Netistadt-Scherwlnd- t, my birthplace. The peace- ful, prosperous little towns, pic- turesque and quaint, bore a holiday aspect. The annual fair had brought out the population to the squares, where the merchnnts and the farmers bargained and the youths and maidens, attired In their Sunday clothes, spoke bashfully nnd playfully In front of the cathedral In tho centre of the town, Their merry laughter, their flashing eyes, the partl-colore- d dresses of the girls, and the 'carefree spirit that seemed to permeate the atmosphere presented nn Idyllic scene. Now these two frontier towns are no more, having been practically wiped off the face of the earth. Twice these towns were In Russian hands, and twice they were recaptured by tho Germans. The fields and the homes were destroyed, the people were either killed or driven away or exiled to Siberia, The following extracts from a letter written recently by one of tho In- habitants of Neustadt to her brothers In South Carolina are characteristic for their pathos and their simplicity and directness; "You must have received the last Russian postals I sent you by this time. For the past two weeks no mall has left our town, but fortunately I had a chance to send them to Wllna, "Tho German army is In our midst again. You know the German soldiers were here once before, away back In the fall, for several weeks, At that time, however, the Russians returned on their way to Germany. Now the Germans have driven them back as far as Kovno. "I could tell you much, my dear brothers, very much, but I havo lost my spirit. I havo become almost hnrdened to every form nf misery. Thero havo been times when I would have given a great deal to be able to write you a few words. Then I was not nlluwed to do It and now it seems to me that ou will never realize from mere lifeless words what Is happening In RtiNsln. "1 think the newspapers cannot begin to know what we have endured, what we have seen and heard. No per- son can appreciate what has been going on here. Streams ot Innocent blood have been shed. No one can Imagine the agony that the Russians have Inflicted upon ui. "How can I begin to describe these scenes as I should like to portray them to you? I have not the power. I wish you could havo our story published In tho American newspapers (If It Is permitted). We should write and write of our experiences and never oease. 1 think In America they must know something of the Russian atrocities. "Still In such an enlightened coun- try as America the people will scarcely bellevo that such things could happen In tho twentieth century. But It Is a great wonder too that such a world war Is tolerated and no effort Is made to check It. From afar they watch so much Innocent bloodshed, so many young lives shattered. They don't ecim to mind. "It appears that the world has grown accustomed to horror and crime: that It does not understand, It does not realize how great and heinous these outrages are that are being com. mittcd on the battlefields. We have thrown all sense of shame to the winds nnd aro sinking deeper nnd deeper Into mire and crime. "If you could only see what has be- come of the beautiful East Prussia, what the ruthless Russians have made of It Just ns If a wild boar had been turned loose In a rich vineyard. What he can he devours and the rest he must drag with him. And If he cannot do this he tramples unon all the lovely vines and digs them tip by the roots. When he Is done no one would ever dream that a beautiful garden once grew them "No, even this Is not a fair com parlson. It Is true tho Russians be haved like wild beasts. We had enough outrages of our own to endure at their hands, but wo almost forgot our sorrows when, night after night, we saw hundreds of fires across the Prussian border. Every evening the sky would bo turned Into a huge blazing sheet, Just as If the whole j world were enveloped In flames. What , was not burned was plundered. "They used to bring their booty over to Poland and sell It here. The large, tine Prussian cows which cost at least 400 marks were sold for IB rubles. Horses that surely were worth 1.000 marks the Cossacks nnd the sol- diers sold for 20 or 30 rubles. "Among the Russian soldiers there were often good men who used to tell us, with tears In their eyes, of the ntrocltles they had witnessed In East Prussia. They would say that what happened beggared description. There, men were not going to war, but to plunder Many a poor woman was robbed nnd left destitute with her little children. The unfortunate vic- tims were not allowed to leave the ruined cities. They could not even cross their fields because the Russians would declare them spies and that meant they were shot. "The results tf such accusations one con easily Imagine. Through the c'ty of Neustadt droves of little chil- dren were driven In the most bitter frosts. The soldiers beat with their guns those who were weak and could not march quickly. Then, too, the soldiers are free to rob the property of the Germans who are driven Into exile. Many of them even brag that they cut off the fingers of German boys so that "they could not go to the front to help their accursed Wllhelm.' One could soon grow mad from the stories the soldiers told. Words fall me. The wounds are still unhealed. They wring my heart. "A whole drove of soldiers and offi cers came, and filled our house and our yard. They demanded ea;gs, butter, meat, &c. They won t take no' for an answer. For them we nuif pro- - vide everything. And when we place before them on tbe table all the food that we can scrape together In the house we have to taste e,erythlng first. "'You havent by any chance put poison In the food, have you?' they cry. 'You false, treacherous spies! You are not above any villainy. Just tasto It yourself first!' That Is thu thnnks we get for our trouble. "When they slaughtered our sheep In the fall, nnd mother begged them to leave a few, the soldiers answered: " 'W hat are you standing around here for? If you like we'll cut your throat too, as we're going to do after the war. Then you will seo what you'll get for selling your Fatherland to the Germans!' "And because of this suspicion they hanged thousands of Innocent Jew's and sent many more to Siberia, Whenever they suffer defeat they re- new their accusations. Many Jews are missing In Neustadt. Some have gone to the great beyond; others are pining In prisons. Many have been exiled to Archangel. "Soloveltschlk, the dry goods mer- chant, burled his silver In the stabl becnuse there were many fires on ac- count of the cannon. When tho Ger mans were driven back Into Easf Prussia he went to dig up his silver, because he was plannli. to leave for Russia. A found him holding a shovel. The soldlep Immediately ac- cused him of digging a telephone for the Germans and demanded 500 rubles. "An officer soon cam up. fiolnvelt-schl- k Is now In Siberia. In vain his son ran to the Governor. The most respected men In the city were only ton eager to vouch for his Integrity. But he was exiled. "Winkelsteln, a old man of V0, stnrtcd a lira in his slnvo with wet twigs, A dense black smoke rosn from Ills chimney. He was arrested on the charge that the dark smoke was a signal for tint Germans. "Nnsson Shapiro, who works around tho Custom House, was hanged bo. ciiisn he was caught with a Held glas.i In his hand.

Six million Jows. one-ha- lf ofth Jewish people throughout theworld, are belns persecuted, hounded,humiliated, tortured, starved. Thou-sands of thorn have been slaughtered.Hundreds of thousands of Jews, oldmen, women and children, are beingdriven mercilessly from town to town

Upward ot 400,000 Jows are Achtlngfor IJusala In the armies, flRhtlnsbravely and loyally. The list of Jewishheroes M to InrRe that the Uusslancencor has commenced to suppresstheir Jewish names.

against the f ntlre Jewish pop-u!- a

ion of Russia is at this time beingorganized In order to cover nnd excusethe demoralization and defeats of thollujsian troops and to make It

for the Jews to get recog-nition In the form of equal rights afterthe war is ended.

The Relglans were ruined, massa-cred. The whole world was shocked.Vnlversal sympathy was aroused. Theworld was most generous In Its re-spond. It has given bread to thestarving and hopo to the ruined na-tion. '

The Polish people, too, are ruined.Their fields, drenched with blood, aredesolate. Their towns nre destroyed.xneir Industries paralyzed, theirwomen an investigation

nava promises r.nii.n.hope for a rejuvenated, united andautonomous Poland.

The Jews of Russia are torturedand massacred, but not a ray ofhope Is held out to them. The world!oes know of the horror that are

heing perpetrated upon them In Russiawhile the war Is going on. The Rus-'- n

censorship Is to strict that It isalmost by a miracle thav atly newsfscapes from the house of death theprovinces known as the Jewish Paleof Settlement.

On January 20 I received a cable-gram from-th- e Russian Prime Minis-ter .M Goremykin, which read as fol-lows:

"Reports Jewish pogroms in Polishtowns nonsense."

The Russian Premier's cablegram"s an answer to my as to

MiMlier there waa truth In the reports"t pogroms contained In thousands ofletters that reached America fromItuss.an Poland letters from

relatives of victims ofthese pdiyroms. Oeorg Brandes, theKret lianlsh author, had alreadywritten his masterly essay on the Jew-t- h

pogroms In the Polish provinces.On February 9, 1916, M. Sazonov,

th Russian Minister of Foreign Af-fairs declared In the Duma:

"Among the malevolent Inventions"cure reports of Jewish pogroms"huh Russian trooii are alleged toli'ivn organized, I selso this oppor-tunity of speaking In the parliamen-tary tribune to deny this calumnycategorically, for If the Jewish popu-litiu- n

In tho theatre of war Isthat Is an Inevitable evil, since

tliu inhabitants of the regions wheretho hostilities nro proceeding alwaysha' i,(.(.n severely tried."

have realized that the tactics employedby his newspaper in Kusila wouldnot do In this country: that he mustconduct his campaign hero upon dif-

ferent lines If he would win the sym-pathy of the American people forRussia. So he Hatters the Americanpeople and denies the atrocities thaiare committed by the Russian Gov-ernment against the Jews.

I met M. Syro'myatnlkoff In Wash-ington last January. I nsked himabout the reported atrocities againstthe Jews in Russia and about theprospects of the Jewish people secur-ing human rights In Rursla at theclose of the war. I asked him whetherho thought the Russian Governmentwould permit a commission to inves-tigate the reported outrages In thoPolish provinces and I expressed theopinion that Mnce Prime MinisterGoremykin was so sure that the pogrom reports were "nonsense," the Russian Government should welcome such

A Russian Prime Minister alwaystells the truth. I travelled throughthe J'ollah provinces recently. It Istrue'hat Jews are executed there. ThePoles denounce the Jews ns spies tothe Russian authorities and the Rus-sla- n

troops, having no time to Inves-tigate matters, Rlmply shoot themdown or hang them."

Concerning the prospects for theJew? of Russia after the war, he said:

"The Jews are on trial now. Theyare acquitting themselves splendidly.They are loyal and they are brave.Although the Czar has made no prom-ises to Improve their condition afterthe war he will probably do some-thing for them In recognition of theirservices In the war. I have no au-

thority to say anything definite, onthis subject. At any rate, I believethat the Czar will leave the qutlonof Jewish rights for the ImperialDuma to decide."

M. Syromyatnlkoff thus treats theaccounts of the Russian pogroms hia signed statement published InAmerican newspapers:

"My American friends ask me: 'IsIt true that the Russian GovernmentIs as cruel and oppressive as it Is rep-

resented to be by certain Americanpapers? Is It true that the victory ofRussia In this war would mean thogrowth of aggressive anda menace to Western civilization? IsIt true that the Russian soldiers In-

dulge themselves In hanging Jews bythe hundreds and In violating theirwives and daughters? Is It true thatthe Russian peoplo are but a host ofbarbarians?' These questions prove tome how much American publicopinion is Interested In all things Rus-la- n

and how scarce aro tho sourcesfrom which Americans can get trust-worthy Information about real Rufsl.i.

"I know that the horrible sstnrlra ofthe alleged atrocities of the Russiansoldiers and otllccrs against Jews inPoland come here from Berlin, but tobelieve In them I would like to havesome verified material from the other

side too, si as to Juilgn each separatecase. I was on the Polish front dur-ing the months of September andOctober nnd 1 visited a lot of townsand villages letween the old Austrianfrontier and Warsaw.

"The Polish peasants used to tell mestories of Jews who spied for Germansand served them as guides. But theonly reason which they could give mefor their accusations waa that theyhad seen and heard tho Jews talkingGerman with the German soldiers andotllcers. That is true, inasmuch asevery Jew speaking Yiddish, a cor-rupted German of the seventeenthcentury, can be understood by a Ger-man and can understand a Germanspeaking modern Germnn.

"I do not know how many Jewswere court-martlall- by tho Russianmilitary authorities, but I know thatvery many of them were shot andcruelly treated by Germans."

Prime Minister Goremykin calledtho pogrom reports "nonsense"; Min-ister of Foreign Affairs Sazonovbranded such reports as "malevolentInventions," nnd M. Syromyatnlkoff Istrying to minimize these ntrocltlcs bydeclaring:

"1 do not know how many Jewswere court-martlall- by the Russianmilitary authorities, but I know thatvery many of them were shot andcruelly treated by Germans."

These statements are made by Rus-sian statesmen for the purpose of In-

fluencing public opinion outside ofRussia. The speeches made bv twomembers of the Duma, Kerensky andOhkeldze, in answer to M, Sazonovenumerating the pogroms and atroci-ties against the Jews were suppressed.Not a line waa published In the Rus-sian or the foreign prewi about thestatements of these courageous mem-bers of the Duma.

In the course of his speech In theImperial Duma In answer to M,Sazonov Deputy flikeldzp said:

"The rlifht of nationalities to developfreely Is proclaimed here; we hear ofthe liberation and unification ofPoland, of the liberation of tho south-ern Slavonians and so forth; thosamo time the old policies of oppress-ing nationalities nnd of Inciting na-tionalist passions are pushed to un-precedented extremes,

"This crying contrast between "wordsand deeds stands out In boldest reliefespecially with regard to the Jewishnation. Hundreds nf thousands ofRussian Jewish subjects togethe.-wlt- h

others nre on tho battlefield, andyet tho yoke of their rlghtlessness Isnot relieved for a moment, even Incases of Jewish soldiers who nrowounded.

"Not satisfied with this, the servantsof tho reaction nro persistently andsystematically spreading wild rumorsnnd libels against the Jewish people,These policies hnvo already led, Inregions nearest tho theatre nf war, tothe shedding of u sen of lilooil and totho destruction of tho entlrei propertyof the peaceful Jewish population."

This Is what a Russian member of

Sazonov, Foreign Minister.

the Duma said In answer tn M.j Sazonov'g sweeping denial made In the

Duma.

Though the Russian censorship Is

sflcter Jhan ever before, there arrive"iero from time to time letters contain-ing descriptions of the horrors experi-enced 'by the Jews of Russia duringthis war. Recently I received a strik-ing note bearing; the postmark otMinsk, Russia, and the stamp of theccutor who apparently approved It.In it was the following tragic plen:

"DtAn Mr. Bernbtwn: Wo haveread In the newspapers that you heardabout the Jewish massacres In Poland.You cannot Imagine how the Cossncksnre plundering our brethren. They areruining us. I come from Poland, whereI was plundered by our troops, theCossacks. The authorities are send-ing Innocent old Jows men andwomen to Siberia. We have writtenyou many letters from Poland aboutour troubles, but you are not gettingthem.

"Dear brethren, have mercy on thesix million Jews In Russia and takeour pnrt! Ask the Russian Ministerswhy we are clng tortured so merci-lessly. Our children are slaughteredIn the Russian army. "We are con-tributing large sums of money too.But we are attacked from all sides.We have no rights. We are drivenfrom the villages. Wherever they canfind filth they cast It upon us.

"O Lord, make an end to our suffer-ings! We have no strength to endurethem any longer. This letter U writtenwith tenrs and blood. I wanted towrite much more, but I am sure thatsuch a letter would not reach you.

"From a Polish Sufferer,"CtUIM WOLINSKJ."

In 1912, while I was travelling InKurope as special correspondent forTub Sunpat Sun, I visited the Russo-Germa- n

frontier towns, Netistadt-Scherwlnd- t,

my birthplace. The peace-ful, prosperous little towns, pic-

turesque and quaint, bore a holidayaspect. The annual fair had broughtout the population to the squares,where the merchnnts and the farmersbargained and the youths and maidens,attired In their Sunday clothes, spokebashfully nnd playfully In front of thecathedral In tho centre of the town,Their merry laughter, their flashingeyes, the partl-colore- d dresses of thegirls, and the 'carefree spirit thatseemed to permeate the atmospherepresented nn Idyllic scene.

Now these two frontier towns are nomore, having been practically wipedoff the face of the earth. Twice thesetowns were In Russian hands, andtwice they were recaptured by thoGermans. The fields and the homeswere destroyed, the people were eitherkilled or driven away or exiled toSiberia,

The following extracts from a letterwritten recently by one of tho In-

habitants of Neustadt to her brothersIn South Carolina are characteristicfor their pathos and their simplicityand directness;

"You must have received the lastRussian postals I sent you by thistime. For the past two weeks no mallhas left our town, but fortunately Ihad a chance to send them to Wllna,

"Tho German army is In our midstagain. You know the German soldierswere here once before, away back Inthe fall, for several weeks, At thattime, however, the Russians returnedon their way to Germany. Now theGermans have driven them back asfar as Kovno.

"I could tell you much, my dearbrothers, very much, but I havo lostmy spirit. I havo become almosthnrdened to every form nf misery.Thero havo been times when I wouldhave given a great deal to be able towrite you a few words. Then I wasnot nlluwed to do It and now it seemsto me that ou will never realize frommere lifeless words what Is happeningIn RtiNsln.

"1 think the newspapers cannotbegin to know what we have endured,

what we have seen and heard. No per-son can appreciate what has beengoing on here. Streams ot Innocentblood have been shed. No one canImagine the agony that the Russianshave Inflicted upon ui.

"How can I begin to describe thesescenes as I should like to portray themto you? I have not the power. I wishyou could havo our story publishedIn tho American newspapers (If It Ispermitted). We should write and writeof our experiences and never oease.1 think In America they must knowsomething of the Russian atrocities.

"Still In such an enlightened coun-try as America the people will scarcelybellevo that such things could happenIn tho twentieth century. But It Isa great wonder too that such a worldwar Is tolerated and no effort Is madeto check It. From afar they watch somuch Innocent bloodshed, so manyyoung lives shattered. They don'tecim to mind.

"It appears that the world hasgrown accustomed to horror andcrime: that It does not understand, Itdoes not realize how great and heinousthese outrages are that are being com.mittcd on the battlefields. We havethrown all sense of shame to the windsnnd aro sinking deeper nnd deeperInto mire and crime.

"If you could only see what has be-

come of the beautiful East Prussia,what the ruthless Russians have madeof It Just ns If a wild boar had beenturned loose In a rich vineyard. Whathe can he devours and the rest hemust drag with him. And If he cannotdo this he tramples unon all thelovely vines and digs them tip by theroots. When he Is done no one wouldever dream that a beautiful gardenonce grew them

"No, even this Is not a fair comparlson. It Is true tho Russians behaved like wild beasts. We hadenough outrages of our own to endureat their hands, but wo almost forgotour sorrows when, night after night,we saw hundreds of fires across thePrussian border. Every evening thesky would bo turned Into a hugeblazing sheet, Just as If the whole j

world were enveloped In flames. What ,

was not burned was plundered."They used to bring their booty

over to Poland and sell It here. Thelarge, tine Prussian cows which costat least 400 marks were sold for IB

rubles. Horses that surely were worth1.000 marks the Cossacks nnd the sol-

diers sold for 20 or 30 rubles."Among the Russian soldiers there

were often good men who used to tellus, with tears In their eyes, of thentrocltles they had witnessed In EastPrussia. They would say that whathappened beggared description. There,men were not going to war, but toplunder Many a poor woman wasrobbed nnd left destitute with herlittle children. The unfortunate vic-

tims were not allowed to leave theruined cities. They could not evencross their fields because the Russianswould declare them spies and thatmeant they were shot.

"The results tf such accusationsone con easily Imagine. Through thec'ty of Neustadt droves of little chil-dren were driven In the most bitterfrosts. The soldiers beat with theirguns those who were weak and couldnot march quickly. Then, too, thesoldiers are free to rob the propertyof the Germans who are driven Intoexile. Many of them even brag thatthey cut off the fingers of Germanboys so that "they could not go to thefront to help their accursed Wllhelm.'One could soon grow mad from thestories the soldiers told. Words fallme. The wounds are still unhealed.They wring my heart.

"A whole drove of soldiers and officers came, and filled our house andour yard. They demanded ea;gs, butter,meat, &c. They won t take no' foran answer. For them we nuif pro- -

vide everything. And when we placebefore them on tbe table all the foodthat we can scrape together In thehouse we have to taste e,erythlngfirst.

"'You havent by any chance putpoison In the food, have you?' theycry. 'You false, treacherous spies!You are not above any villainy. Justtasto It yourself first!' That Is thuthnnks we get for our trouble.

"When they slaughtered our sheepIn the fall, nnd mother begged themto leave a few, the soldiers answered:

" 'W hat are you standing aroundhere for? If you like we'll cut yourthroat too, as we're going to do afterthe war. Then you will seo what you'llget for selling your Fatherland tothe Germans!'

"And because of this suspicion theyhanged thousands of Innocent Jew'sand sent many more to Siberia,Whenever they suffer defeat they re-

new their accusations. Many Jewsare missing In Neustadt. Some havegone to the great beyond; others arepining In prisons. Many have beenexiled to Archangel.

"Soloveltschlk, the dry goods mer-chant, burled his silver In the stablbecnuse there were many fires on ac-count of the cannon. When tho Germans were driven back Into EasfPrussia he went to dig up his silver,because he was plannli. to leave forRussia. A found him holdinga shovel. The soldlep Immediately ac-

cused him of digging a telephone forthe Germans and demanded 500rubles.
