THE RUSSIAN INFERNO
What Actually Happening Russia Today Described by Special
Investigator

later command was issued order
ing the entire provinces of Kurland
and kovno to be cleared of the Jew
ish population in three days. A day
later it was learned that only the
Jews in Yakobstadt and Friedrich
stadt counties in Kurland, that is
mainly in Riga, were permitted to
remain. The rest were to be ex-
PEELED Immediately.
Three days were allowed to 3O0.-
600 Jews to liquidate their business
and prepare to leave their homes
But not everywhere did the police
allow the full period of three days.
In those towns where the police
wished to vent their spite on the
helpless Jews the command was not
made public before the first two of
the three days had passed. In some
localities the police informed the
Jewish population of the catastro-
phe that had befallen them only five
hours before the three days had ex-
pred In several towns the Jews
were allowed only one hour to leave
their homes. In some villages the
police arranged the time so that the
Jews had to leave by night or at
dawn.
The police, soldiers and Cossacks
stood on guard and hurried the ex-
lies. They did not permit minute
to be wasted, and whips and knouts
were not spared when Jew had the
''impudence" to tarry half an hour
longer in order to take with him an
extra bundle of belongings, another
pillow.
The Jews ran about the streets as
if crazed, sent kilograms to the gov
errors and the ministers and to the
commanding generals. They all
made the same reply:
Leave at the appointed time"
OF course, any real liquidation OF
their affairs was impossible. The
Jews were glad if they succeeded in
saving their lives and the lives Of
their families. They wanted to take
come of their belongings with them.
but their neighbors would not lend
them horses and wagons. Only af

II.
Up to date the total number of
Jews exiled from Galicia, Poland,
Kirkland and the province of Kov-
no has reached over 100000. But
this is only the total number Of the
exiles who have been registered and
does not include the 100000 Jews
who are even now being driven out
of Warsaw. 1t is the total of only
a portion, no more than tWo-thirds.
of the exiled, ruined Jews. The
grand total is in reality no less than
100000 Jews.
1t may sound strange when |
make the statement that this terri
bic toll must not be considered the
greatest calamity. OF course it is
evident that counting the half mil
lion Russian Jews who are serving
at the front and the relatives of
these soldiers and of the exiles, no
less than 80 per cent of Russian
Jewry has been ruined. But we
need not dwell upon this loss. The
national catastrophe is general
one, and if war should last few
months more we may expect all Rus
sian Jewry to be reduced to utter
ruin.
1t is not this phase of the tragedy
that | wish to discuss in this letter.
My intention is rather to picture to
you as vividly as | can the inhuman
circumstances that attended the last,
the most horrible, expulsion of the
Jews from the provinces of Kovno
and Kurland.
When the military authorities is
sued their fictitious official report of
the "Kuzshi story the following
suggestion was offered at the end
of the printed statement: "This ter
rible example of despicable Jewish
treachery strengthens our conviction
that whenever battle is to be waged
in a locality where the enemy has
already set foot the entire region
must be cleared of the Jewish pop
ulation without delay
This suggestion was so definite
that no one could have any doubt
of the new plans of the military
authorities. And in fact few days

ter great pleading did the exiles
succeed in few instances in secur-
ing wagon to carry the stick or the
Sacred Scroll from the synagogue.
The Let's, with whom the Jews had
always lived on the best of terms,
suddenly became SO demoralized
that they fell upon the property Of
the eWs. No sooner had the eWs
left their houses than the Let's ran
in to plumber. Crowds stood on the
streets waiting impatiently for a
chance at the spoils. Neighbors and
friends all at once became highway
robbers. The whole atmosphere Of
the region where the exiles had been
born and reared, where the graves Of
Jews for many generations are
found, where the Jewish spirit had
lowered, was suddenly poisoned, and
the entire settlement lost it's reason
forever. The non Jewish population
now understood that the ew was
nobody, beyond the pale Of all civil
and human rights. They realized
that their neighbors were no citi-
zens, no people, only Jews.
And do you know what effect this
terrible moral catastrophe had in
several localities?
When the Jews realized that they
would not be able to take their be-
longings with them, that their life
in their native villages was hopeless
" ended and their relations to their
neighbors wrecked forever, they be-
gan to perpetrate pogroms upon
themselves. Men and women, old
and young, began to destroy their
furniture, to tear their clothes and
linens, to wreak general havoc in
their own homes. What pitiful and
heartrending scenes were enacted!
A general hysteria, a wild madness,
an inhuman rage engulfed whole
communities. They made pogroms
upon themselves. With their own
hands they wrecked and ruined their
own houses and homes.
On the streets stood policeman,
soldiers and Cossacks and drove the
Jews with whips.
Wherever the cities and towns
were situated on a railroad line fifty
or sixty cold freight cars stood
ready, into which human, Jewish
stock was to be packed. 1t is true,
in those days battles were raging
more and more furiously in Galicia,
and freight cars were more valuable
than a gold mine. for the army was

POOR RULE THAT WON'T WORK BOTH WAYS
By the failure of the newly naugurated Town
Councimen to elect Mrs. Joseph Deck as President
of that body, Tuesday evening, some of the demo-
cratic members violated established precedent,
and even went further than that and smashed a
rule of their own making. 1t has been unwrit-
ten law in Town affairs that the candidate receiv
ing the highest number of votes in the election
should be chosen Mayor upon the assembling of the
new Council. Before proceeding to nomination and
balloting on Tuesday evening this established pre-
cedent was stated by the Clerk following which
Mrs. Deck and placed in nomination Arthur
Slaughter for Mayor the ticket in the recent
Town election. 1t quite natural to suppose
that this would be followed by the nomination and
election OF Mrs. Deck Rgesident of the Council.
By unanimous vote Mr.. Slaughter elected
Mayor, but the surprise of a great number, Mrs.
Deck was defeated for President although she was
a close second to Mr.. Slaughter in the election
When nominations in order for President
Mr.! Richard Stephens the sole republican on the
Council, nominated o. ]. Cotey; Walter Tappin
democrat nominated Mrs. Deck, and the vote
stood four to three in favor Of Cotey Messrs.
Springer Tappin and Mrs. Deck supporting the
nomination made by Tappin and Messrs. Cotey
Young Slaughter and Stephens voting for Cotey.
It's poor rule that won't work both ways, and
by virtue of established precedent, emphasized by
it's own action, the newly elected Council should
have COZ ferred the honor of President upon Mrs.
Deck.
We fully recognize the right of the Council to
elect its presiding Officers regardless of the
number of votes received by each in the general
election, but it seems that this occasion, under
all the circumstances. the right and proper action
for the Council to have taken would have been the
election of Mrs Deck President.

OLNEY VISITS MIAMI

Hon. George A. Olney was visi-
tor in Miami, Friday, May 26. Mr.. o.
ney is a candidate for governor at the
democratic primaries. He is quiet,
unassuming gentleman, and when one
meets him one is impressed with his
personality: that he is not the kind
of man that brags and bluffs. One
has the feeling when he sees the man
that O1ney knows what he wants;
knows what to do and how to do it.
He impresses one as being a man of
fine intelligence and with plenty Of
determination, and that is what Mr..
Olney will make, constructive gov
ernor. There is another thing GER
tain, and that is that his construc-
tive efforts would extend all along the
line and would affect every one of
Arizona's industries. Mr.. Olney is
typical of the old time Arizonan.
The strong characteristics of the
broad-minded, unassuming westerner
are his predominating qualities. He
locks like a man who would not say
much and who would dc a whole lot.
If George Olney is elected governor
of Arizona, judging from his appear
ances, Arizona will have an Arizcran
as governor He sure is home-folks"

sPoRTsMEN's RESOLUTIONS

Whereas, the present State Game
Warden of Arizona, has ever since his
appointment to the office, been most
Objectionable to the sportsmen of Arr
IONA, by reason of his continued eff
forts to enforce imaginary game
laws, and Federal game laws or regu-
lations, which court decisions in
every case where the question has
been raised have. declared unconsti-
tutional, and which Federal regula-
lions do not come within the jurisdic-
ton or scope of work of said Game
Warden, instead of enforcing the real
Game Laws of Arizona, therefore,
BE 1T RESOLVED, by the Arizona
Sportsmen's Association, in regular
called meeting assembled, that we
condemn the action of the State Game
Warden in attempting to place upon
the ballot at the next general state
election certain proposed amendments
to the game laws, which represent
simply his own pet ideas and which
are more stringent than the laws in
2Dy other states where game is less
plentiful and in no sense voice the
sentiments of the sportsmen of ART
iona, who are the only people directly
interested in the game laws.
Resolved, That we are opposed to
the proposed amendment and especi-
ally that part of it increasing the non-
resident hunting license from $40. 30
to $40 90 and an additional $40 90 for
fishing license. 1t is the sense of
this Association that said nonresident
license should be lowered instead of
increased.
Resolved, Further that this Associa-
ton of sportsmen urges all it's men,
hers to refrain from signing the initia-
tive petition now being circulated by
the Game Warden of Arizona and to
influence their friends as far as posi-
BILE in like action, with the purpose in
view that when the legislature con-
venes a game law may be enacted in
which those concerned may have
voice.
