HELPLESS JEWS IN RUSSIA
Are the Victims of the Most Brutal
Of the Lowest Glass of
Russians.

Discussing the condition of the Jews
in Russia the New York Times says:
I'm such a social CONFUSION, the dregs
of society are thrown to the top and
become the scum. That is what Is
happening all over Russia. And the
impulse of these brutes let loose, who
find themselves freed, by whatever
cause, from their customary fear Of the
police, is to attack first of all the most
helpless of their neighbors, especially
if these have anything of which they
can be robbed. In Russia that class is
the Jews. Under the official and the
popular ban, disabled by law from pos
sessing the means of self-defense, In
every Russian town these unfortunates
whether by the connivance or by the
collapse of the usual agencies for the
preservation of order, are left to the
mercy of a merclless mob. What fol-
lows is what was to be expected in
such a case. Massacre, arson, pillage,
all the crimes to which race prejudice,
in conjunction with mere greed, can
urge an unrestrained assembly of riot
ers. Nowhere in human history has
there been a bloodier catalogue of woe.
1t is a vast calamity, which appeals to
human sympathy as deeply and as
tenderly as any such calamity can pos
sibly do. More than that, it is a part
of the price which Russia is paying
for her Transformation into a modern
people, a member of the family of civ
ilized nations. These unhappy Jews
are the sacrifice, They are bearing
the burdens of crimes and plumbers
and stupidities which at all events are
not theirs. And it is o a figure OF
speech to say that humanity shud-
ders" at the awfulness of the price. :.
1t is the task of the whole civ
ilized world to see that the transfer.
nation of Russia to the political and
social conditions of that world shall
be managed with no human suffering
in the process hat can be avoided by
human help. Perhaps we may say that
it is especially the task of this country,

be the most advanced of those condi,
