sscre of Hebrews at Bialystok, Russia,
last week, Or. Nathan, chairman OF the

absolutely authentic proof that the Bialy-
slok massacre was the beginning OF an
elaborate scheme of anti-Semitic out
breaks arranged to take place in all paris
Of Russia. We have proofs that ter.
rible conspiracy exists to exterminate the
Jews in Russia. Anti.Semitic fanatics
have taken the initiative and the central

are warmly supporting Jew-baiting be-
cause il diverts the attention of the pop

forms aud affords them an opportunity
for venting the discomfort on the Jews.

me hourly appealing for protection. The
lives of thousands, even hundreds OF
thousands of jew, are endangered, aud
in the next few days the civilized world
will witness unprecedented atrocities in
Russia"
