the thousand In ordinary times, and this ID
twice Is high q: that Of our largest cities II ID
in this country die before they are Eve
years old, and still children are produced
30 rapidly that this loss ID overcome and the
country has million more babies every year
than theyear before. A curious thing about
the health statistics of Russia 10 that the NOR
Is greatest in the cities The reason Of this is the
poor food and the poor sanitary arrangements
which the peasants have and which during this
famine, tho typhus and the cholera have become
more apparent than ever.
Speaking Of the cholera, picked up the Ber-
liner Idge6idh this morning and looked to see
what the German reports Of the Russian cholera
were. l found nothing in it. but on the first
page were two big black blotches which effectu-
ally stamped the printed matter out of at least
q column OF the newspaper. This was probably
the news concerning the cholera and it is q fair
example Of the state in which the foreign news
papers come into Russia No reports concern
ing the cholera which are not approved by
the government are allowed to be read
here. Every paper is carefully examined
and anything which the censors do not like
Is stamped out. This Is 30 with all newspapers,
and such magazines and books as are admitted
often have pages torn from them, and there ID
no such thing as q fres press in Russia
The papers here. receive instructions
from the government as to just what
tucy PUBLISH. tney 10 not lOJOW OUT
these instructions they receive first . warning.
Ii they offend again this warning is repeated,
ana az the third onense the paper Is suspended
lnree such warnings always result In the aoo-
hhoh OF the newspaper Inc warnings may De
years apart and they may De caused by the mis-
taxes OF cheap reporters or careless proof
readers. but the paper loses its standing and at
the third warning its existence. IT. editor is
also liable to imprisonment, and the result Is
that there Is no such thing as free thought in
RUSSIA. Inc most RIDICULOUS Things are pro-
niDlted from pGoiication, anu nothing concern
ing the car Is ever pnphshed. During
