STARTED TRANSLATION.
Early in February. 1918, Lieut. Bor-
ID Brasol, q Russian officer. called
the attention of a Russian American
young lady employed by the agent of
the American military intelligence de-
partment to the so-called protocols"
and asked her to inform her employer
of the contents of the document" as
being of great Importance in view of
the Bolshevist activities in Russia
The young lady told the American
physician about the document" and
said that she had access to 1t. She
asked for time to translate 1t into
English. During the two months she
was engaged on the translation of
the document" Lieutenant Brasel
and Gen. G. J. Sosnovsky were in con-
ference with her concerning the man
uscript.
During that time a characteristic
episode occurred. The American
agent of the military intelligence de-
partment came to the young lady
with important news. He said thSt
he had just learned from. Russian
sources that the assassin of the Rus
sian minister of the Interior Sipiagin
was q Jew. AS 1t was mentioned by
Nilus that Siplagin knew Of the ex-
istence Of the protocols" and insin-
account, the information that his
murderer was a Jew would be con-
elusive proof that the protocols"
were Of Jewish origin
WOMAN DOUBTED.
Tho Russian-American young lady.
who is familiar with Russian revo-
lutionary history. laughed at the
American agents information and as
sured him she knew that Balmashev,
tho student who assassinated Sipia-
gin, was a Gentle and not a Jew.
Who is this lieutenant BrasoL, the
Russian who first revived the "pro-
tocols" In this country?
A Russian who knows him inti-
nately describes him as follows:
"Boris Brasol Is a graduate of a
Petrograd law school He was a lieu
tenant in the reserve Of the guards
under the Czar. He subsequently
served as an official in the ministry
of the interior, which in Russia Is in
charge OF the police department Then
ne served in the department of jus
tice under the notorious anti-semite
Scheglevitof Brasols position was
that of a special Investigator in ex-
traordinary matters, He was also
connected with the imperial investi-
cation commission. His particular
mission was to investigate the con-
duct Of onicials under suspicion. He
WAS one OF the prosecutors during
the early stages of the Mendal Boilis
ease which was staged by the Russian
department of justice and by the
Biack Hundreds to justify Jewish
n,assacres in Russia.
