LETTERS TO THE -D1ToR.
Tells About Russian Massacres.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald. s,
 Provide a space in your popular paper for stating my point of view in reference to the curious article which was recently printed in your paper: 'The Czar Inter- viewed by Woman" As a native of Rus sia and having been very short time in esting to the readers of your paper and to the Americans in general, to have a clear apprehension of what is going on in Russia, and of the character of the Car
 In the aforesaid interview it was stated that the Czar was greatly interested in the troubles between Japan and America, expressing his wish for an alliance with the United States against the growing power of Japan.
 Here. I guess is chance to study the character of the Russian ruler. As is known, there are different hunters in the world-hunters of bears" hunters of wild swans" etc, but the Russian ruler is the most peculiar hunter the world ever produced. He, the peace nitiator, who called the universal conference to put an end to wars and conflicts, he, the same, would be satisfied to see bloody battle field of innocent human beings, no mat ter whether it be Americans, Japanese, Germans, or British, provided that, to satisfy his selfishness. he can kill some of his fellow men whom he dislikes. It means that he does not care much about the fathers, mothers, wives and children who are left behind without supporters. It seems he might be great hunter of wars. What do you think of that?
 Here you can draw clear conclusion who the author of all the calamities in Russia is. I ask you in the name of com mon sense how can an emperor be trust worthy and obeyed by his people who SoWs enmity among them, no matter to what results it comes?

Three years ago I was bound. from Kief to Odessa and while at stop at an interstation l was astonished to hear and see the ''mujics who were working in the fields block up the way near the rails and besecch.ngly ask every passenger to give them papers and books. I asked them for curiosity what they wanted the papers and books for, and their reply was: Gentleman, do you think that we are not the same man as you? We must know abou, everything as well as the educated man. We know that we are ignorant, but we are not to blame. We have no schools where we can learn, but 1t is not our fault. Be- sides that We are very poor Taxes are going higher and for what the govern ment takes our money from us we don't know. Three years ago." the chief speaker of the company proceeded. "our honorable village clerk called a meeting and read paper before us, that the government has assigned a certain sum to build school. Three years are over and the school Is not yet built l will never forget their honest faces, victims of pharmaceutical regime and despotism.
 But to continue what wish to say. The leash of bureaucracy as above called seeing that the nations are befrinded and raising general voice against the tyrannical government, and being afraid of losing fat jobs are constantly provok- ing one nation against the other the Bolgars against Armenians, the true Rus sians against the Jews, the ignorant classes against the intelligent, and for that purpose recruiting bands from the trarnps and outcasts of the people. titling them with the name 1.-The True Russian Patriots,' who for a single drink of vodka (brandy) are ready, at one com mand of the chief holigan, to butcher thousands of men, women and children and to break and destroy everything totally The Czar has given them full power to do whatever they please.
 The press and prominent. scientific peo- pie started to criticise such actions and
