THIS COUNTRY

United States Cannot Take
No Official Action in Mas
sacre at Kishineff
JEWS VICTIMS OF RUSSIAN MODS
Story Of Horrible Outrage on Men,
Women and Children Not Over
drawn-Massaore Described BY
Woman Who Escaped.

Washington, May 16.-lntense in
dignation is expressed by officials here
regarding the atrocious massacre of
1000 Jews of Kisheneff by Russians.
While without definite official advices,
the state department has no reason
to believe that even the most horrible
stories that have come from kisheneff
have been overdrawn. Enough has
been published to convince officials
of the department that, in it's blind
rage, the Russian mob committed in
describable outrages, fie1dishly tor
tured men, women and children, and
killed without mercy many innocent
people That such an incident should
occur in a so-called civilized country
in the twentieth century is a subject
of much bitter comment.
Unfortunately, the hands of Secre-
tary Hay are tied in the matter So
far as is known, there were no Ameri-
can citizens among the ill-fated Kish-
eneff victims. Therefore, the United
States can take no action in the mat
ter. The note addressed to Roumania
several months ago cannot be taken
as a precedent. Roumania was bound
by treaty with other Powers to use
Justice in her treatment of Jews resi-.
dent within her territory, and for that
reason Secretary Hay was entirely
free to send a note condemning the
persecution, especially as it reflected
upon the interests of the United States
But, as to Russia, no matter now
far Slavonian brutality may go in the
treatment of those of the HebraiC
faith, the attitude of the state depart
ment must be that Russia is a SOW
ereign Power, Independent of all othei
Powers. The United States woulC
havld have no more right TO interfere
in her domestic government thar
Russia would have to protest agains

HANG TO TREE
One Bird After Being Cut
Down Jumps Into Bran
dywine Race
THRUSH LOSES ONE OF ITS LEGS
Park Guard Black Climbed Tree and
Cut the Bird Down-As II Hung
Head Down other Members Of
Feathered Tribe Hovered Around.

Park Guard James Black and some
of the other guards stationed in Bran
dywine Park are wondering whether
there Is a suicide club among some on
the feathered songsters who inhabit
that pretty park During the past few
days the guards have found two birds
hanging from limbs high up I'm the air
How they got i'm such positions the
guards are unable TO say. There is
evidence that one bird after being cut
down deliberately drowned itself IN
the race.
A few days ago sometime after the
first bird was seen to kin itself Guard
Black was attracted to a big tree by
the noise made by several birds. They
seemed TO be flying around an object
hanging from limb twenty-five feet
In the air. After watching them for
some time he procured a ladder and
climbed the tree.
Securely wrapped around branch
was string. Suspended from the end
of the string was a thrush. When
Black attempted to take the bird In
his hand it fought with all its strength.
The birds weight had broken its leg
and the struggle had almost severed Il.
The leg could not be repaired and It
was necessary to amputate Il at the
broken point to liberate the bird. When
this was done the bird flew away. The
park guard Is still carrying the string
and part OF the leg to show those who
doubt his story.
The other park guard who saw the
bird deliberately drown himself tell a
much more wonderful story than
Black. who found the second bird
hanging from the tree. He was walk
ing under the same tree when he heard
a great chirping and, looking up, saw
what appeared TO be a bird hanging
by the neck. He got a ladder. and after
climbing the tree found that his eyes
had not deceived him.
bit OF thread was wound around a
branch, and hanging TO IL by the neck
was a bird. At first the guard thought
lt was dead. but after the thread had
been removed from its neck II revived.
In a short time Il flew to the race wall
where Il settled for a minute. It looked
around for a few seconds and then
dived into the race. Before the little
body could be hshed out the bird was
dead.
When the second bird was found
fastened TO the tree the guards began
to discuss the matter and cannot un-
derstand how the two came TO be hang
ing from the same tree.
