The Jews of Kourland, who live to

Not only do the Black Hundred

e the official organs of the Govern
ment DO not stop at any absurdity in
their effort 20 discredit the Jews. Thus

"On April 80 the Cossacks, from their

enemy entering the city, and saw how
the enemy was welcomed by n Jew

Thus the Jews met the Germans UNI
der the fire of the Cossacks, and the
only witnesses were nom others than
the Cossacks who had made pogroms
in Poland. This absurd item was sent
out by the Petrograd Press Bureau TO
the foreign press.
The organ OF the Russian War De-

particularly energetic in making ac-
