THE BIRTH RIGHT
RUSSIAN AUTOCRACY. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. St. Petersburg, May 11. Miss Malecka was found guilty at Warsaw, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The prosecution asserted that Miss Malecka was associated with Joseph Pilsudzki, organiser of two bomb attacks on trains carrying Government funds. Miss Piekarska gave evidence that Miss Malecka knew Bronislas Pilsudzki, the Polish ethnographer, not Joseph Pilsudzki. Accused acted as intermediary in the sale of the Bronislas collection to Cambridge University. Miss Malecka's counsel stated that, being an Englishwoman, she did not suspect that she would be prosecuted for merely holding Socialist opinions. She went to Poland to see her father's country and to visit Chopin's birthplace. The Chronicle says that the Foreign Office must insist on the recognition of the naturalisation papers granted to Miss Malecka's father, and of her passport. Other newspapers state that the Russian Government emphasises the fact that Russians are unable to . change their nationality without the consent of the Czar, which Miss Malecka's | father did not obtain.
