Up to date the total number Of Jews
cXiled from Galicia, Poland. Kurland
and the province OF Kovno has reached
over 10000. But this is only the total
number OF the exiles who have been
registered and does not include the
100000 Jews who are even now being
driven out Of Warsaw, 1t is the tota.
OF only a portion, no more than two
thirds, ot the eXiled, ruined Jews. The
grand total is in reality no less than
1000, 900 Jews.
1t may sound strange VIXEN I make
the statement that this tysrible toll
must not be considered the greatest
calamity. ~ course II Is evident that
counting the half million Russian Jews
who are serving at the front and the
relatives NJ these soldiers and Of the
exiles, no less than 80 per cent. Of Rus
sian Jewry has been ruined. But We
need not dwell upon this loss. The
national catastrophe Is a general one
and II the war should last a few
months more We may expect all
Russian Jcwry to he reduced to utter
ruin.
