New York, Jan. 3.-Intervicw With
a Don Cossack:
O. What is a Don CoSsack?
A. We are subjects of the Car. of
All the Russias. We are mostly fight
ing men by profession and we have
been scattered throughout the world
since the racketeers and demagOgueS
came to power in our native land.
There are 300 of us in the United
States.
@. Do you hope to return to your
home land some day?
A. Perhaps. Who knows? InSanities
sometimes die out, men are gullible
but sometimes they awaken to their
folly. If the descendants of all the
sturdy pioneers who carved America
out OF wilderness were shot, but
chcrcd and eXilcd, should still hope
that one day retribution would over
take the intcrlopers; I should still be-
lievc that in the end the pioneer and
rugged spirit would win out. It is the
same with the Don Cossacks of old
Russia.
q. If sou want to travel, how dc
you get a passport? You're a White
Russian, not a citizen of the present
Russian government and you're not
al American.
A. l hope some day to become ali
American citizen. Unlike many of my
poor countrynen, I admire America
and it's institutions and have no wish
as they have to overthrow this gov
ernmcnt Meanwhile I travel when
have funds, on a League Of Nations
passport. This permits mic to &c
where 1 wish if I do not engage in
political activity; and I have no wish
to do that. Few Cossacks are poll
tically minded.
@. Do you like New York?
A. Not much. Very few Of us care
for New York which is more SYM
pathetic, think, to the new Russia
than to the old. We stay here think
because there are SO many Of us al
ready here. The Grand Duchess Maria
