New York, Dec. 20. Varying opin-
ions are held by the editors Of the
Jewish papers in this city regarding
the reports from Kishinef relative to
an intended massacre OF the Jews.
While II is admitted that the situation
n Kishiner and, in fact. all over Rus
sia is alarming, it is thought that the
fact that the outside world Is CONVEX
SAINT with what is taking place may
compel the government to suppress any
disturbance or at least prevent con-
nivance in any action taken by the
mob.
While Il il said In the dispatches that
the only safety for the Jews Is in flight.
it Ii pointed out that this Is almost
impossible, as the government refuses
to issue passports to those who would
leave. To evads the law, the spend
ing Of so much money Is involved that
Il becomes impossible for some TO leave,
while others would fnd their capital 80
slight after numerous briberies that
fIhey would be unable TO proceed far
ther after crossing the border.
Thinks stsry Of PsOt True.
Philip Cowen Of the American He
brew said:
II do not think there il any doubt
about the dispatches already printed
being correct. The circumstances are
well known to US, and it is improbable
that the reports are exaggerated. We
hive received no direct communica-
Sons regarding the situation, but re-
gard the statement OF Governor Gen
eral Urossof as highly significant. He
said:
"Tf the Jews insist on protecting
themselves It Is impossible TO foretell
what viii happen should Christian
blood low
'srhat utterance,' said Mr.. Cowen,
us typical and iii Russia, sounds very
emphatic. We have been fearing an
ether outbreak"
The possibility Of the Russian gov
eminent being compelled to keep order
through the knowledge that the whole
world il watching 1t Is realized by the
editor OF the Jewish World, who says:
Psblisity nay Prsvent Massacre.
while we do not think that wha
has been printed il an evaporation o
the true situation, We think that tn
giving Of the news widespread pub
hcation will cause the Russian govern
Inent to put down any disturbance, 0
at least prevent the connlvanee Of OH
eials ia the outbreak The trouble
not confined to kishlnsfr By any means
az smMll disturbances. such a. the al
lacking OF the houses Of the Jews an
the breaking of the windows, hay
taken place all over the district, bu
Rothing has been mentioned Of thes
eutragsa In the papers.
However, we have received no ac
vices. and until we get infoFmatio
from q reliable source we do not fet
that we are In position to expires
any spiRIon regarding the situation 4
reported by the press
At the office OF the Jewish News
was said that there vas undoubtedl
danger to the Jews in every part {
Russia at the present time
Correspondence sa the Alert.
Hzekiel Saraaohn, the managing e
itor. said:
I'VE have instructed our corresponl
ents to be on the alert and to let /
know the exact situation at the earl
est possible minute. From the repor
printed In the papers and from VIII
we know Of the conditions Id Kish
nen there can be little doubt chat Il
situation Is alarming Just what Il
exact condition is we are not prepare
to say until we hear from our corr
spondents
Another Jewish newspaper man sal
1T has been argued that the Jew
will find safety In leaving Russia. b
that is not feasible, as the governme
refuses to issue passports, and in ord
to get by Jew would be compelled
pass 80 many officers that it would co
him a great deal OF money. 1t is own
to this fact that some Of the Jey
come to this country poor men viii
IN Russia they have been account
rich"
