NICHOLAS HITS DISHONESTY
Russian Official Blackmailing ELECTS
Strong Appeal from Gar.

OGA Wig s1AVRCtt1 AIOll1 SLhI.
Scandalous financial proceedings on
the part of important officials have led
the car to issue an appeal for greater
loyalty and honesty in the public serv-
ice. His majesty Is deeply shocked
at the revelations in connection with
the industrial company Of Plotitsin,
the head Of which declares that his
Arm was ruined by an organized swim
die whereby officials mulcted it Of
15,000,0 900 rubles l$7,725,000).
Plotitsin asserts that he was unable
to obtain justice anywhere, and con-
sequently was driven to make his
grievances public. The car passion
ately deprecates such proceedings and
declares that public servants who en-
gage in them are enemies of the state.
His majecty reverts to the complica-
tons that beset the advance of the
Slavonic people and enunciates the
principle that failure and humiliation
are inevitable unless the responsible
men of the empire purge their domain
of corruption. as
Statesmen. politicians and admins
traitors in all parts of the empire re-
gard this appeal as timely in view of
the critical situations which are de-
hning themselves at several points on
Russians distant frontiers.
