HE WOULD KILL JEWS
Kaulbars Thinks 1t undesirable"
To Stop Massacres.

Odessa (By Cable) Replying to
deputation of municipal officials,
who complained of the violences daily
committed by members of the League
OF the Russian People against peace
ful citizens, Jews and Christians
alike, Governor-G General Kaulbars said
that the preservation of order was a
matter concerning the police, but
he personally doubted whether 1t was
possible or even desirable to attempt
to suppress the evaporation of the
loyal clements against the revolu-
tionary students, who were guided
exclusively by Jews. These loyal ele-
ments included the Emperor's best
sons, whom the Government esteem
ed its most dutiful citizens.
Dismayed at these expressions of
the Governor-General, the municipal
officials suggested that the victims
were mostly defenseless inhabitants,
who were not concerned in the revo-
luton. TO which General Kaulbars re-
piled that he regretted that this was
the case, but he must say that the
population was thus punished for toll
Grating revolutionists among them
instead of delivering them to Justice.
Il do not think there will be fresh
outbreaks" said Governor General
kaulbars, but in the event of the
assassination of even ono member of
the League of the Russian People,
Odessa will be inundated in blood"
The deputation thereupon retired.
The tone of Governor General
Kaulbars' speech, which is regarded
as an open expression of approval of
the horrors of counter revolution, has
created much alarm. While no
gathering of Liberals is permitted
the League of the Russian People
is establishing without hindrance 10
meeting places for its propaganda.

have issued proclamation declaring
that in the event of a fresh outbreak
they will defend the Jews with their
