was his eyes, The United States could
not admit man with trachoma into this
country. The announcement fell like
weight on Moische's heart and when
Melnik heard that the brother might be
sent back to the dark land he used all his
ingenuity to keep him here. He COM
municated with number of heavy
bearded compatriots of his on the East
Side-men who had been revolutiOnists,
too-and shortly afterward Melnik got
a place as attendant in the hospital
while his wife acted as laundress
There were nightly conferences on
the East Side among the revolutionary
band and one night the hospital was
minus three persons. Since then Melnik
was found, but Moische? Well, the
revolutionary band learned in Russia
that silence was golden at times, and
there is deep silence on the East Side
when any one asks for Moische.

Escaped from Ellis Island

Commissioner Watchorn has a knotty
problem to solve, namely, How did
Tailor Melnik, his brother Moische, a
Russian soldier, and Melnik's wife es-
cape from the Ellis Island Hospital and
get scot-free of the island without be-
ing detected? The federal authorities
have Melnik under arrest, and he
might tell them much, but his mouth is
closed, for is not Moische his brother?
And if a man have a fondness for his
brother will he not stick close to him
through thick and thin. Even so with
Moische, who sacrificed his lucrative
tailoring business on the island to help
his brother escape.
Moische Chmielnicke, the brother-it
can be conveniently Americanized to
Melnik-was revolutionary soldier.
There is a long, sad story Of how a SER
geant and a file of soldiers entered his
little cottage in Russia three years ago
and snatched him from the arms of
weeping wife, who was burdened with a
baby, to take him off to the wars as a
conscript Of how Moische's regiment
was kept in reserve and obliged to fight
against it's own kind-the revolutionists
when as matter of fact the regiment
was revolutionary at heart; Of how one
night when the regiment was encamped
at Odessa the news reached Moische Of
the death Of the wife and baby.
There had been a famine; the rye
bread had become scarce, and the wife
with the baby in her arms had started to
seek aid from the priest. She fell by the
roadside. That made Moische an out
and-out revolutionist Such things as
that made the entire regiment so Also 1t
fought against the other troops and got
whipped, Moische hiding in cellar
There he was found by some fellow-revo-
lutionists and smuggled out Of the coun-
try.
Moische had caught no more than a
glimpse Of the distant skyscrapers of
New York City, the city which to him
was the gateway to the promised land,
when they told him he must go back. 1t

Belmont's Attack on Jews

In an address before the Civic FEEDER
alton held recently in New York, and
with special reference to Jewish immi-
grafton, Mr.. Belmont, the president Of
that organization, said:
"For years Europe has gladly dumped
her human refuse in our lap, and we
housed and fed and clothed it. Customs
foreign to us and calculated to sap our
national vigor are brought to our shores.
The tide must be stemmed lest we our
selves be engulfed. -
Mr.. Belmont need not worry about i'm
migrants sapping our national vigor. He
himself is the son Of Jewish immigrant.
Nothing to be ashamed Of His father
was made the agent of the Rothschilds
and never thought Of having first-class
pew in frst-class Protestant Episcopal
Church, as has his son, and although but
one generation removed from the Ghetto,
no one would assume that Mr.. Belmont
physically befouls society or that he
'saps the national vigor," as he seems to
think Jewish and other immigrants do.
1t does not seem fair for Mr.. Belmont
to look down on those who, despite cruel
prosecutions, have stuck to their ances-
try and their religion. It is silly and
malicious to assume that because a man
is faithful to memories Of four thousand
years, he must necessarily by these
memories sap the vigor' of the nation
with which he comes in contact
1t is yet question whether Mr.
August Belmont, with no Rothschild
backing, and merely his native abilities
such as they are, to sustain him, would
have come out equal to the Ghetto man
striving to succeed.
There are thousands of Russian,
Polish and German Jews that might be
deprived of Mr.. Belmont s ability, yet

Rabbi in Russia Says Relief Con-
tributi0nS Have Gone
to CoSSackS

Raphael Mordecai Barishanski,
rabbi in the town Of Homel. Russia, has
written letter to the editor Of the
Jewish Morning journal in New York
asking that means be devised to
assist the emigration of Jews
from Russia, preferably to America and
Australia. Rabbi Barishanski says that
contributions of money made thus far to
relieve Jews in Russia have gone to the
Cossacks.
1T appears to me-" he says, that
there can come no good Of your commit
brethren in Russia as long as you leave
them here. With the money that you
send us you are only providing new
plunder for the Cossacks and hooligans.
The earth in Russia is ready to open its
mouth at any moment and swallow us
altogether with everything we possess.
1t will certainly accomplish this, and
hereafter we will be pllndered and
slaughtered according to law, the enact
ments Of the Douma.
"Wlth the money you send us you
should devise means to deliver us from
our position and point out some refuge
so that your tortured brethren should
free themselves from their tOrmentors
and settle in a free country. Then you
would do us a real service, and not
throw your money to the wind. 1 heard
personally from thousands of Jews that
as soon as they obtain the means to flee
from the bloody country they will go to
America or Australia and will be salts
fed with the hardest labor as long as
they are able to breathe freely. Give us
some real help that you may deliver us
from disgrace and DEATH
There are 10000 Jews in Homel, the
scene of two massacres in the last year.

ROme.-The announcement is made
here that The brothers Zameschi Of
Pomarance have discovered a system
of radio-telephony or wireless tele-
phony. As with Marconi's system of

sembles the ordinary telephone, only
it is a little larger, In transmitting
messages with the new system the
voice is clear although not so distinct
as with the ordinary telephone. The
experiments made have been over dis
tances of 200 TO 300 yards, and the re-
suits obtained are described as excel
