THE BLACK HUNDRED" WORK ING LIKE BEAVERS TO
 THAT END

STOCKHOLM, Jan. TT h e Black Hundred" is very active a. again throughout the empire of the Czar, and further stifling of liber- ties will be the result. Pogroris are also feared m many sections of the country.
 The Pe.rograd "Retch" in enc Of it's latest issues says:
 "The members of the Black Hun dred are working like beavers everywhere. They are holding meet ings in all large cities and towns and demand the dissolution of the Duma, the suppression of all liberal organizations and a still more re- actionary cabinet"
 Another Petrograd paper reports that the War Minister of the Czar recently asked the Holy Synod to decide if Jews could become officers. The decision was negative. The Synod held that all officers were required to attend certain religious ceremonies to which Jews could not be admitted and that for this reason only orthodox Russians should re- ceive commissions.

 Among the lost were six first class and twenty-nine steerage pas sengers, including some sengalese and twenty-two white and twenty three Lascars, members of the crew.

SWISS PAPERS SAY
 THE U. s. IS UNNEUTRAL

BERLIN, Jan. 7-The Berne cor respondent of the "Berliner Tage- blatt" says that the attitude of the United States in the present war is even more bitterly criticised in Switzerland than in Germany.

"As Switzerland is strictly neutral and does not furnish war material of any kind to one group of the belligerents nor the other, the citiz- ems of the little republie cannot understand he American kind of neutrality.
