these men are operating even in court
circles, the kaiser is said to have or
dered a rigid investigation which he
hopes will put an end to this nefarious
business.
AS 1t is known that the syndicate re-
ceives regular reports from it's agents
all over the world concerning the move
ments of American heiresses, and as
many of these reports are sent by cable
and telegraph, the authorities believe
they have found means to run the
matrimonial agents down.
AS nearly all telegraph lines are gov
eminent property. it will be easy to
keep track of kilograms concerning rich
young girls sent to persons not related
to them, and the receivers of this kind
of dispatches will then be carefully
watched. and when there Is sufficient
evidence their mail will be seized.
The only thing which stands In the
way of the success of this plan ia that
the matrimonial agents may adopt a
code. hit ie thay do If is thought that
old records already In nossassinn Of the
government will give sufficient evil
dence.
At all events. a determined effort will
be made to uproot this evil, as both the
kaiser and the empress ave taking a
personal interest In its eyteruinat;on
treat Jews Better.
1t is stated here that there is good
a to believe that the Russian gov
will see that the Jew in Rus
STA receive better treatment in the flu
ture.
The -cZar, who is deeply touched at
the many proofs of patriotism given by
Jews In all parts of Russia under the
present trying conditions, has given or
ders to all governors of provinces to
look into all complaints of inhumane
treatment of Jews and see tina Offend
ers are severely punished.
At the same time NJ. Plehve, the Rus
sian minister of the interior, in an au-
dience which he recently gave to sixty
prominent Jews from all parts of Rus
STA, gave as severe a lecture to them
as he dared to do at a time when the
czar has his intention of
giving the Jews fair treatment.
1T is not true" M. Plehve, who Is
known for his antipathy against the
Jews, said on this occasion, that the
czar and myself regard the Jews as an
inferior race.
"On the contrary, we regard them as
exceptionally smart and clever. If we
admitted Jews to our universities with
out restrictions they would o~vershadow
our own Russian students and domi-
nate our intellectual life.
II do not think it would be fair to
allow the minority to obtain an advan-
taeae over the majority in this wav
II am sorry that 1 have become con-
WINGED that the Jews are revolutionists.
You Jews are not only revolutionists;
you are murderers.
All recent political demonstrations
and attempts at assassinations in Rus
STA have been inspired and planned by
Jews. I have indispuatable proof of
this.
The Jews have declared war on the
Russian government through the press
OF other countries which your race con-
trolls. l warn you that every war costs
heavy sacrifices. Take care that these
sacrifices are not required from YOU
