Uprising Against Jews.
Spreads Over Wide Area.
Peasants Claim Extortion Is

Position Of MoIdayian Government
Is Extremely Critical.

to the Tageblatt from Bucharest says
the peasant uprising already has spread
over the whole of upper Moldavia, in
GLIDING the districts Of Botoshani, Do
rogoi. Jassia. Neamzu, Tutova, Bakau,
and Roman. In spite of all precautions
the vandalism is spreading. 1t is the
purpose of the peasants to drive out
the Jewish lessees of the extensive
holdings of absentee landlords and to
seize the lands the peasants rent from
the lessees and upon which they are
entirely dependent. The peasants claim
that q system of eXtortion is practiced
against them.
The movement has taken on q
strongly anti-Semitic character the
correspondent of the Tageblatt contin-
ued. Students at the University of
Bucharest. under the leadership of GER
tain anti-Semitics are demonstrating in
sympathy with the peasants. The posi-
ton of the government is critical. The
cabinet met today, Wednesday, under
the presidence of King Carol and de-
cided at once to draw up bill directed
against the present system of the leaS-
ing of lands. The features of this bill
are expected to be the limitation of
leases to five years and limitation Of
the number of leases each lessee is al
lowed to held.
Orders have been given to General
Tell. who has a reputation for energy
to quell the revolution by force Of arms.
