The Polish Jews.
At n time when from both contest
ing sides In the European war the idea
emanates that some degree OF autorf-
omy for Poland will be necessary in
the final settlement. q history Of that
portion Of the Polish population with
which foreigners are most familiar Is
unusually welcome. Such a history Is

IN Russia and Poland, OF which the
first volume, coming down to the end
Of Alexander Isl reign. Is at hand In
the translation Of l. Fricdlander (The
Jewish Publication Society OF America.
Philadelphia). The author first traces
the settlements Of Jews in what Is now
Russian territory in the early Chris
tian centuries and under the Byzantine
empire. lie then tells In detail and
Of their being called into Poland, where
they were the chief agents OF com
mercc and industry: Of their being al
ternately favored and prosecuted. and
what Is more important, OF their lie
among themselves n the way II
which they regulated their commune
ties. Less space Is devoted to the Rus
sian part, which. after the cot o
the earlier interdicts against them
picks up the main thread of the stor!
again when Polish territory becomes
portion OF Russia owing to the par
titions of the eighteenth century. TIL
author has written an illumlnative &C
count OF the country and the peopl
in the past. The next volume. whic'
will be ready before the year Is gu
will deal with matters OF more imme
date interest. the treatment OF tn
) | Jews during the past century INC u

been put through the quick changes

explain but is not listened to and is
taken INTO the arms OF his mother and
father, though she feels like an i'm
postor. 500 it appears that the young
man Is not dead: the meeting OF the
two creates another absurd situation
which must be maintained while the
suthor describes Paris in war time
