New York Times (Newspaper) - August 27, 1911, New York, New YorkBitter attacks against the jews based on Long exploded Story made by Menshi Koff and others Lutostansky a Book of slanders finds / the dowager Empress of Russia. By Herman Bernstein. For several months the six million jews in the russian Empire have been living under the Shadow of fear of renewed massacres. Ever since the Duma voted to have the jewish question elaborated by a special commission with a View of abolishing the Pale of settlement that is of opening All Russia to the jews who Are at present caged in certain provinces the reactionary forces the Black Hundred organizations through their organs and at their meetings and in their churches Hae been inciting the russian populace against the jews. The old myth was revived for this purpose. The jews of Russia Are being accused of having murdered a Christian boy for ritual use. The blood libel against the jews which cropped up from time to time in various countries for centuries has Long been established As a myth invented by anti the curious coincidence of the whole affair is that while ritual murder accusations have Long been established As a libel on the jewish people Lutostansky s description of How alleged ritual murders Are committed has been minutely Fol Lowed by those who murdered the boy for the purpose of accusing the entire jewish people. To those who know How the Black Hundred organizations under the direction of or. Dubrovin a personal Friend of the Czar murdered the members of the first Duma Herzenstein and Zollos such methods will not seem surprising. Ippolit Lutostansky now about 76 years old wrote his work a a on the use of blood by jews for ritual purposes a some forty years ago. Several years later he came out with a statement to the effect that he had erred in his accusations against the jews. He then approached the jews and wanted a Large sum of Money for retracting his former statements but the jews semites. Even in Russia Alexander i., n declined to pay him for his views. So he 1817, and Nicholas i. Issued Kases pro commenced to publish a series of volumes hib iting the prosecution of so called nut caned a a the talmud and the jews a in murder cases a to make an end to toe which he falsified quotations from the prejudice that the jews use Christian talmud and perverted the interpretation blood for ritual i of jewish customs and rituals. His books and yet from time to time these stories j Are Fuu of the most vile and malicious Are circulated in Russia by reactionary attacks up0n the jews and Judaism. The sixth volume of Lutostansky so the talmud and the jews a appeared recently and by Way of preface it contains a number of letters which show who Are encouraging supporting and distributing his publications. Among the letters congratulating Lutostansky upon his work against the jews Are some by the dowager Empress Maria Feodorova grand Duke Michael Alexandrvich grand Duke Alexander Michaelovich Gen. D. Gan. Gen. Repov the ministries of War and of education. Recently a letter from Lutostansky was published in the russian press saying that the late Cha Alexander in. Had thanked him for his works on ritual murder and presented him with a ring that the commander in chief of the gendarmes had distributed his Book to All his subordinates and closed the Moscow synagogue for the reply of rabbi minor to his accusations. T he letter not intended for publication stated How he Book denying the ritual priests and reactionary journalists encouraged and even subsidized by the russian court party. In the beginning of May of tvs Yea the novye Eremya russians leading Semi official newspaper the same journal whose editorials Are so frequently quoted in european and american newspapers published the following article by m. Menshikoff one of the prominent editors of the novye Eremya. Menshikoff used to be a Liberal and a Tolstoy an but for the past ten years he has sold himself to but Orin has attacked every progressive movement in Russia and has developed a mania for slandering the jewish people in the vilest manner. A a just before the jewish wrote Menshikoff a a the twelve year old boy Tuschinsky was lost. He was going to school passed the jewish settlement but never returned. His body was found in a Cave near the House of a jew. From All the numerous symptoms the people of Kiev have come to the conclusion that the boy was a victim of the Hassid pm. A a the Chassidim Are a jewish sect which sprang up in Poland in the eighteenth Century and which attracted about one half of the jewish masses. In the Well known accusatory Book by Lutostansky the following circumstances of ritual murders Are described. They Are to is said committed on the eve of pass Over for the purpose of securing a a pass Over a blood. This is used for the preparation of matzo. It is also poured into wine and is used for numerous other purposes. A a Here then a continues this vile a Lander a is another of the advantages for spreading the jews All Over Russia. From the Pale a this religious custom of murdering Christian children for the preparation of their passover will come Over to us. When the jews will attain equal rights when their audacity will reach the highest Point there is no doubt that the ritual murders of Christian children will grow More frequent. A a evidently the holy russian land of Kiev has already entered in that sphere of Bliss which will set in after the Pale of settlement has been abolished. Right under Shadow of the Malestic Andrew Cathedral on Podolyan the boy Andrey Yushinsky frightened to death was a lowly to tui a by devout a hidden a and All Christendom beginning with apostle Andrew who a sed the Cross Over Kiev could not help the unfortunate. The great Empire to which the boy belonged could not help him the so called a four thou Sand year old civilization of which the a jews Are boasting a Ould not help him. The bitter facts Are trying unto heaven that Law and the prophets Are one and jewish fanaticism quiet another matter. The commandment of the jews says a thou Shalt not kill and their bestial sized mind says a kill quo the article winds up witty an Appeal to the people of Kiev to do their duty saying Tot the eath of the Christian boy is upon the conscience of All Russia. 1 on of the contributing editors of the to the article appeared is a Stolpin the brother of the present Premier of Russia the entire Reasti amp by press led by the if Voye Eremya he rus Skoye in amp Pya i the czars personal Organ the kow0i, and the Zempee Hijra a aught up this a flu. It a against be jews in connection it a the Tuschinsky Case based on the Book of ippolit Lutostansky whose Ridicu-mh3s Ltd the jews have been puff on Mot is furnished my for that purpose by persons yanking up High in acquaintance with them has afforded me great pleasure. May god help you to have the strength and the courage to carry out the plan of your works to the desired end. From the ministry of education Jan. 3, 1905. Having received the third fourth and fifth volumes of your works a the talmud and the jews a i beg you to accept my sincere thanks. I May add that with regard to a financial subsidy you will get a special communication. A. Schwartz. Every deformity May be explained and this is explained by the fact that the English people have descended from the Lutostansky s works written in in Lutostansky a works together with other Simitar incendiary anti jewish pamphlets and circulars have now been scattered throughout Russia especially in the army reviving the old fable about ritual murder and citing the Tuschinsky Case. Lutostansky is the authority though it has been established that Only recently this priest converted several times a possible russian containing innumerable j preached a Well known rabbi for a sub a a a a a a a Nami Aweena in i 1� Duma to Ose to it that All the jews living in Russia shall at once be recognized As foreigners without any rights and privileges allowed other foreigners. Such a measure in connection with other restrictive measures would surely hasten their removal to their own he then enumerates a series of restrictions that should be introduced a a the jews should not be admitted to the army the Navy neither As regulars nor As volunteers. A a the jews should not be permitted to practice As military surgeons As assistant surgeons or As druggists. Quot military service should he substituted by a Fine Aad these fines should be paid grand Duke Alexander Michaelovich Cousin of the Czar had published a too 5y the enter jewish population accusation but having received no pff�?o11 j a the Pale of settlement should be made Ary support from the he error. All Laws tending to Widen the Pale of settlement should be abolished. To return to his anti semitic propaganda. His sixth volume of a the talmud is devoted entirely to an attack upon the jews upon the progressive parties in Russia which Side with the jews and upon the first Duma. Lutostansky declares that the massacres of the jews in Kishineff and Bali Stok were started by the jews themselves and that the jewish people were planning to Divide Russia among speaking of the talmud and the Bible Lutostansky says a a built upon falsehood and contempt for work filled immoral and anarchistic tendencies inimical to All ideals and worshipping nothing but wealth the talmud is the offspring of the most contemptible of All revolutions which Ever degraded Mankind by its stupidity and bloodshed insolence and cunning Crafty casuistry and soulless formality combined with a deep revolutionary spirit and extreme ignorance such were the fundamental traits of the pharisees. Not stopping before any inventions of their imaginations falsifying customs inventing legends devising the most absurd methods of interpreting the Law according to their will and for the purpose of attaining Power they have evolved the essence of unprincipled Judaism the talmud. Thu they have doomed the jewish mind forever to fruitless Ness and the jewish soul to cruelty and egoism. A a we must ask the jews All to go Back to Palestine but As they will not go of their free will we must Force them to do it for their right place is in their former kingdom of Palestine. Let them get their rights from the Sultan not from Russia where they Are and then in the same volume which 1� supposed to be a work on the talmud Lutostansky complimented encouraged and paid by russian czars and grand Dukes submits the following solution of the jewish question in Russia a the russian people realizing their position and having the ability to maintain it availing themselves of their right to be the masters of Russia could in the course of on Day crush the desire of the jews and Force the jews to Bow to the will of the autocratic master of Russia but the russians have chosen another Way of solving the jewish and the self confessed charlatan declares himself an adherent of zionism a Ayong that Russia would make any sacrifice to help the jews Settle in Palestine and form an autonomous state of their own. A therefore a he goes on a a the russian Joe Only a next their in the All privileges granted to jews because of their education or because of their occupations should be withdrawn. No jews should be permitted to live in seaports. A a jewish children should not be permitted to attend schools attended by Christian children. Jews should also be prohibited from establishing schools of their own. A a jews should be forbidden to teach in government or private schools. A jews should not be permitted to hold any government or civil office. A a jews should not be permitted to get any concessions and should not be connected with any government contracts. A a jews should not be employed on any steamship or railway in Russia. A a jews should not be a permitted to vote and under no circumstances should they be permitted to serve in the Duma or the Council of the Empire. Nor should they be allowed to participate in the elections. A a jews should not be permitted to have drugstores of their own to be druggists or to work As clerks in such stores. A a jews in any Way connected with revolutionists should be dealt with harshly and their property should be confiscated. A a jews should not be permitted to act As editors or publishers of periodical publications. A a jews should not be permitted to have bookstores and printing shops. A a All foreign jews citizens of other countries should be forbidden to enter he then continues his inflammatory outbursts against the jews in terms that Are unprintable and All this in a volume supposed to be a study of the talmud. In another chapter the anti semitic slanderer attacks England because he believes the English people to be the lost tribes of Israel. A the English people Are pure blooded israelite a declares Lutostansky. In ancient Days they used to be red haired As we see Tho types described in the old and new testaments. The characteristics of the israelite Are Well known All Over the world and the same characteristics Are Peculiar to the English people. They do not differ in the slightest degree. The Universal business greed of the English people their greedy politics based on business and Many other traits make them unlike other european nations. There have been for Bome time suspicious kinship and similarity Between the Anglo saxons and the jews. A a the English people Are the lost tribes of Israel. The lion of Judah became the Emblem of England and the Harp of David is to this Day the Emblem of Ireland. A a but not Only Are the English Kings direct descendants of the jewish Kings they even sit on the throne of David on which All jewish Kings used to be crowned. The throne is made of the Rock on which Jacob slept when he dreamed of the ladder and when god promised him a kingdom. That Rock was brought by the Prophet Jeremiah to Ireland whence it was removed first to Scotland and then to London. A a North America is settled by the tribe of Manasseh. A a the English people in Many ways resemble the jews. Their Type is the same their manner of speech the same and above All the fundamental trait of both nations is trading. Then the great respect of the English people tor the Bible betrays their kinship to the ancient israelite. A the English people a concludes the Rabid anti semite a arousing the unanimous indignation of the entire civilized world have made themselves by their instincts and inclinations deformed monsters among the cultured and civilized nations of Europe. There is a saying every family has its Black sheep. But pornographic stories perversions and vile slanders malicious attacks and incendiary appeals to the ignorant mob Are distributed by the servants of the russian autocracy in the army and the military academies Are sanctioned by the ministry of education and the War department in Russia and czars and grand Dukes and princes and princesses help the publication of these works Here Are a few of the letters reproduced in the sixth volume of Lutostansky s a a the talmud and the jews from the grand Duke and Crown Prince in april 1876. To ippolit Lutostansky his Imperial majesty the Crown Prince accepts favourably your work entitled a a the question of the use of Christian blood for religious purposes in connection with the attitude of Judaism toward christianity a and has instructed me to extend to you the thanks of his Imperial majesty. Marshal of the court Zinoviev. Countersigned by the adjutant of his majesty. Col Vasilkovskiy. From the dowager Empress Marla Feodor Oyna. I have the Honor to inform you that the copy of your work on the talmud was received and accepted by. Her Imperial majesty with thanks. Signed by the Secretary of her Imperial majesty March 6, 1903. Mu5ings of the gentle cynic it is quite possible for a woman to be a peacemaker without using make up. The heart that can be reached through the stomach Isnit Worth reaching. The Man who expects to have greatness thrust upon him must be a mighty Good waiter. Many a Man collects his thoughts from other people. Woman is a Riddle. She keeps us guessing Aad yet we hate to give her up. It Isnit the Coign of Vantage that bums a Hole in a Many a pocket. Conscience keeps almost As Many men straight As does the fear of being found out. Somehow or other the women who feel that they were Boro to command always get married. It does seem strange that pulling a Many a leg should make him Short. Money talks but who wants to listen to the conversation of filthy Lucre the Man with the strongest opinions sometimes wears himself out backing item to. Many a scheme is cooked up that is really a raw Deal. Some people live entirely for themselves and some live on others. All men Are born equal but the Equality seems to and right there. Many a girl thinks she a a world beater when she can to even beat an egg. If we should All think twice before we speak there Rould be mighty Little conversation. A girl of 16 can generally cure her broken heart with an indigestion Tablet. Women will never understand men so Long As men prefer a Glass of Beer to an ice Cream soda. Laugh and grow fat and you will find the laugh on you. From a woman a Point of View an Ideal husband is merely one who thinks he has an Ideal wife. Lots of Fellows mho Are always la a hurry Are going in the wrong direction. A woman May dislike a main who does no to understand her and positively hate a Man who does. A lie never Dies of old age. You never know How a Man in going to strike you when you first meet my or Lor How much. Many a Man says rothing without sawing Wood. Old age feels about the same pity for the ignorance of youth that youth feels for the imbecility of old age. It is a mistake to suppose that a woman is All the rage just because she has a bad Bachelor air his views before married women unless he is prepared some men always expect to be Given a1 to be accused of knowing More than he a Saca we ult Pipirs go ahead sad Lake it has any bus ii a Sils vow from the Crown Prince the grand Duke Michael Alexandrvich a brother of the Czar addressed to Lutostansky on nov. 7, 1902. His Imperial majesty the Crown Prince and grand Duke Michael Alexandrvich has favourably accepted your work a the talmud and the jews a and has asked me to convey to you his sincere gratitude for this work.

From the ministry of War april 25, 1906. Your Hooks 1-5, of a the talmud and the jews a have been admitted for distribution in the libraries of the military schools which fact will be announced in special circulars addressed to these institutions with the direction that these works of yours May be secured at the following address St. Petersburg English Prospect 19-55. Signed by major Gen. Sushinsky. From Gen. D. Gan nov. 10, 1904. I regret exceedingly that you did not find me at Home yesterday especially since i had intended for two weeks to visit you in order to thank you personally for your works. Accept my deepest gratitude for these As my. Sidy As an alternative to the publication of further anti semitic works. Lutostansky was also expected from the Catholic Church years ago for various scandals. The reactionary members of the Duma led by Markov a Friend of Nicholas ii., introduced an interpellation in the Duma regarding the Tuschinsky Case quoting Lutostansky and assailing the jews in the most disgusting terms but the progressive members of the Duma proved How utterly ridiculous and false these accusations Are and the matter was dropped in the Duma. The Kiev authorities Are still investigating the Tuschinsky Case. Several jews have been arrested but thus far All have been released. It turns out that the ritual murder accusation against the jews was Only an afterthought inspired by Deputy Markov. The Tuschinsky boy was found murdered in Kiev and it was known in the neighbourhood that his Stepfather had committed the crime for the purpose of collecting a considerable Sura of Money for a hich the boy had been insured. In fact the Kie Vlanin a reactionary newspaper published the Story. When Markov read it in St. Petersburg it occurred to him that the murder of the boy might be utilized As a Campaign against the jews. He immediately hurried to Kiev and together with other leaders of the Black Hundred organizations established Headquarters there distributing anti jewish proclamations. The novye Eremya the Semi official Organ of Russia the rus Skoye Namya the personal Organ of the Czar and the Kolokol the Organ of the holy Synod Are continuing to inflame the populace. Bishop Michael published an article denouncing the people who Are exploiting the alleged ritual murder. His article entitled a an evil legend a reads in part As follows a a papers of a certain tendency Are exploiting the Kiev child murder for the most unworthy purposes. But How is it possible that such inflammatory articles can appear in the columns of a paper that Calls itself the Organ of the clergy in the conscience of the directors of that journal does not cause them to shrink from the consequences of this notoriously mendacious fable then the Church of which this paper is the Organ must step in and prevent the Brand of Cain being marked upon its own forehead. It is True that the whole of the respectable clerical press has always raised its voice against the fabulous ritual murder legend but now the Church itself must denounce this fratricidal but the reactionaries Are continuing their work. The real russians As they Call themselves recently met in Council in Kiev to consider the situation created by the establishment of the guilt of the Stepfather of Tuschinsky and they resolved to resume the agitation against the jews. Gen. Bogdanovich the notorious organizer of massacres in 1905, has moved Over to Kiev where he is in charge of the new anti jewish Campaign. Members of the Black Hundred organization Are distributing pamphlets against the jews in the villages about Kiev and arranging services in memory of a a Saint a Tuschinsky. Alexander amphitheatre of the famous russian publicist a Christian addressed an impassioned Appeal to the writers of Russia denouncing the anti jewish agitation and winding up with the following words a a let us unite and destroy this great shame of the russian people. It is time for us in the jewish question not Only to Wash off the blood from our hands it is High time to overpower the Slaughter from which the splash of blood reaches us. And above aft and first of All we must Lead away from that Slaughter the deceived the ignorant russian people who Are demoralized by. Criminal instigation
