The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-02-18

".
The panic among Russian ewry
spread throughout the pale in three
days. Hundreds of cars filled with
Jews passed through the land and
scattered them right and left. The
Jews who were thrown out of the
cars did not know where in the
world they were nor did the Jewish
communities know what to do with
them. Hundreds of dispatches
were sent to Petrograd to the Jew
ish Relief Committee begging for
money and advice.
In Petrograd itself an incident oc
Cured which threw the entire Jew
ish population into state of great
agitation. The military authorities
searched the house of the president
of the Jewish community, H. War
shavski, and soon after the great
synagogue of Petrograd. Officers
and soldiers broke into the syna-
gogue on the eve of the Pentecost
and secured it from cellar to roof
for signs of German wireless appar-
atuS.
1t is not definitely known to this
very day just what the authorities
meant by this act: whether they
wished to resort to provocation and
set up in the synagogue some sort
of apparatus that they might later
"discover" it, or whether they simply
wished to offer a public insult to
the most important Jewish COM
munity in Russia to show the Rus
sian rabble to what depths Traitor
Gus" Jewry has fallen when it is
necessary to search it's synagogues
for German apparatus.
Although it was discovered at
this very time that there was sec
ret organization in the army whose
special task it was to manufacture
evidence of Jewish Grimes" this
search left the impression in Petro-
grad that the main object of the
military authorities was to insult the
Jewish community. The search
was made on the day before the
Pentecost, 9 o'clock in the morning,
at the hour when the president of
the Jewish community, H. War

shavski, was at the house of the
Minister of the Interior, MaklakoW,
with a Jewish deputation from Po-
land.
lust picture the scene H. War
shavski comes with deputation.
They discuss the tragic plight of the
exiled Jews, which demands the
formulation of new plans by the To-
cal authorities to cope with the
problem. At the very same time,
while they are pleading with the
minister and offering him proofs Of
the loyalty of the Jewish population,
soldiers and officers are searching
the house of H. Warshavski and the
Petrograd synagogue for German
wireless apparatus.
Ignoring this insult, however, the
Jews began the great task of col
Letting new funds. Men were sent
to search for the wandering trains
filled with human stock. But it was
impossible to find them before the
Government was ready to cast out
the thousands of Jews who were
confined in them.
During these dark days there
arose a rumor that the military att
thorities had ordered that the ex-
pulsions should cease and that the
exiles should be permitted to return
to their homes.
1t was the height of folly to be-
lieve such rumors which the clever
Russian authorities so skillfully cir
culated not only in the Russian but
in the foreign press as we'll. All
the Jews had been driven out of the
cities and towns which had been
designated. Therefore how could
stop be made to the explosions
The Jewish community in Wilma,
however, put some faith in this ru
NOR. They applied to the highest
military authorities to permit the
unfortunate exiles to return. home.
Then the hendish plan of Gen. Yam

day is fraught with peril for all Rus
sian Jewry and may cause general

executed and still hovers over the
Jewish streets.
When the prominent eWs OF
Wilma and Petrograd came to Wilma
to Prince Tumonow, who is the
General of the whole dis
trict, he told them that the refugees
could return to their homes, but
only on one conditions:
The Jewish population-he made
no pretence of speaking of the
"guilty,' but plainly mentioned the
whole "Jewish population'-must
give him hostages and if cit ever
happened again he would put an end
to the matter without further cere
mony.
AS he delivered this ulti1natum he
passed his finger across his neck as
though it were knife.
"It' was not to happen again
that is, Jewish "treachery" had been
ascertained and must not occur
again.
The conference ended-with this
demand. Two days later, however,
it became known that this demand
from Prince Tumonow did not orig
mate with him, but with the Grand
Duke Niko1ai Nikolaievitch, or to
be more exact, with the chief Of his
staff, Gen. Yanushkevitch. Tele-
grams came from him to the Gov
errors of Kur1and and Kovno stat
ing that in several localities (not in
Kovno itself Jews would be per-
mitted to return on the condition
that they would offer rabbits and
rich Jews as hostages.
But nothing came of this tiendish
plan of the Russian Government
and the military authorities. The
prominent Jews realized that the
safety of all Russian JeWry was in
volved. If the Jews accepted this
condition it would mean that they
themselves really believed the Jews
capable of treachery.
SO the Jews decided under no cir
cumstances whatever to consider
further negotiations with the att
thorities and not to permit the eXiles
to return 'home."
The Jewish Deputy Of the Duma
Friedman sent letter to Premier
Goremykin protesting against the
latest shameful libel and declaring
that the Jewish population would
never consent to such disgraceful
propositions and that the whole af-
fair was nothing short Of crime.

TROOPS SENT
 ON HEELS OF
 BANDIT VILLA

SA NANTONIO, April z. Francisco Villa, the Mex jean bandit, was at Ciene- gpillas, ten miles south of Satevo, last Tuesday, ac- cord;ng to advices given to Brig.-Gen. Funston today. This information came from General Gutierrez, com manding the Carranza troops in Chihauhau. The f a cts were immediately transmitted to Maj.-Gen. Pershing, but Brig.-Gen Funston also rushed Ameri- can cavalry to the Satevo re- zion with instruction that the locality be surrounded.
 Gen. Gutierrez also re- ported that Carranza troops engaged fifty Villa men at CieneguilIas, killed several and captured two prisoners. The latter said Villa left there early on the morning of the fourth with 200 fol- lowers leaving 50 as a rear guard.
 Gen. Bell reports that he has received information from Mexican sources that thousand de facto government troops are be- ing moved south of Chihau- hau ostensibly for the pur- pose of checking the retreat of Villa.
