Tha Ravolutionary army gar rison at Sebastnpol has alraady en tered upon tha final destruction of the bourgeoise. They mm ply derided to massacre all within their reach.

"The members of this club have observed that tha use of the German language in the home, and the reading of German newspapers has had a tendency to retard the Americanizing of children of German parents," aays the resolutions.
