Fifteen of the sixty Zionists arrested here have been released. This number includes Messrs. Belkowsky, Bichowsky, Lebedinsky and Tschudakoff. It is expected that the release of the others will soon take place. The reason for their incarceration is still unknown inasmuch as there is no Zionist organization in Russia, and no official Zionist activity.
