interviewed concerning the recent dis
patches TO the effect that the German
TRANSACTIONS of his works have been
excluded by the Russian authorities,
Mark Twain was not a bit worried. II
am not in the least surprised" said the
humorist. 'sThe books of hundreds OF
other authors are excluded every year
from Russia. and the fact that my
works are barred gives me little con-
Germ. / am but one Of a vast number
whose books have been excluded and
are being shut out every day by the

so many.
Russia has a great many Germans
in its population and is gradually Rus
sianizing them. and naturally 1t does
not wish any literature circulated that
would influence any of the people in
favor of a monarchy.

said something that could have been
