state Of affairs is this: No person

Maltreated and Murdered.
"Since the outbreak of the war an
endless number of pogroms have
taking place in Poland itself. The
Jews have been robbed, brutally
m~altreated and in many instances
murdered. Furthermore, they have
been expelled on twenty-four hours
notice from a number of towns where
they were formerly allowed to live.
Thus 1900 families were driven out
on the country roads from Grodzisk,
in the vicinity Of Warsaw, a town l
know well. All their possessions,
which they were forced to leave be-
hind them, were rifed or stolen. In
like ann the Jews have been
driven out of eight towns, whence
they fled to the capital, where it was
impossible to shelter them. This
happened at the same time that al
number Of young Jews who had
distinguished themselves on the field
Of battle received medals and other
decorations for bravery and while the
government press was praising the
Jews for their zeal in building
hospitals and in collecting funds for
the benefit Of the wounded, widowed
mothers and children.
Denounces Leaders.
"The fact that rioters in Russian
Poland, as in other countries in
Europe, are filed with a living
hatred toward the Jews cannot sur
prise any one. II would certainly not
bring the writer, who perhaps more
than any other living author Of nom
origin has proclaimed his de-
yotion to the Polish people, to accuse
the Poles. If it we're the rioters who
the pogroms there, would be
nothing to say. In that case the
outrages in Poland would be like
those in Kishiney or any other place
Russia proper.
"But what has forced me to p otest
Is the vast difference between the
conditions in Russia and Russian Po-
.and-namely, while in Russia all the
,ountry's brilliant writer's, Leonid An
Maxim Cork and all the
intellectual giants, interest
themselves in the unhappy Jews and
