MENNONITES DRIVEN OUT.
ItUMla Inslttt on Military Service, Which
la Against Their Creed.
Odessa, Feb, 10. The proposed emi.
gratlon to America this spring ol
the German Mennonltes settled near
Tnshkend, In Asiatic Russia, is the result
of the new policy adopted by the Russian
Government In requiring the Mennonltes
to do military servlco tho same as other
sublects of tho empire.
This Is against the Alennonite creed
the people of that sect being equally
averse to lawsuits and to war.
For over 100 years their prejudices
have been respected, and they have been
regarded as deslrablo residents or tbo
empire, on account of their skill, Indus,
try. and law-abiding character.
It Is now desired, however, to get rid
of all Germans, no matter how remote
their descent, who are not entirely amal
gamated with the Russian population,
Hence tlie measures tbat are about to
deprive Russia of its Mennonlt populft
tlon.
GIVING FAMINE RELIEF.
Peasants Starvlnr ThamislTet to Ksty
Their Hones Allvfi.
Losdok, Feb. 19. Count Tolstoi gives,
in the "Dally Telegraph," an interesting
description of the soup kitchens which
he has established for the relief of his
famlne-strlcken country people. When
he hears that the people of a village are
starving, he journeys thither and sub
jects the starosta, or leading elder, to a
series of inquiries calculated to ascertain
who are most Iu need.
Besides his soup kitchens, he gives rye
bread and potatoes to those who are in
need of relief. The peasants are most
anxious to save their horses, as they are
their chief dependence for future agri
cultural operations.
The peasants or one place, themselves
virtually starving, have kept aightj
horses alive through the winter so far on
famine rations rather -than kill tin
animals. Men and brutes starve together.

such reports. They say the information
is their own, and they do not propose ta
give it away for nothing any more than
thev would their medical services, neaitn
reports show nineteen deaths this week
from scarlet fever, thirteen from diph
