FIVE JEWS IN RUSSIAN CON-
STITUTIONAL CONVEN-
TON.

In the elections for constitutional
convention in Russia, which were re-
Gently held and in which the Bolshevi-
XII received majority vote, there were
five Jews returned to the convention.
These are: Trotzki (Braunstein)
Kameney (Rosenfeld) and Zinaviev
(Apfelbaum) of the Bolsheviki; Vim
aver, of the Constitutional Democra-
tic Party, and Kamkov (Boff), of the
SocialistRevolutionist Party.
The general belief that Jewish radi-
calls predominant in the Bolsheviki
councils is disproved by an authori-
tative letter published in the current
issue of the Jewish Chronicle of Lon
don. It says that together with the in
creasing influence of the Bolsheviki
the number of Jews in the Soviet de-
creased. There are nearly five times
as many Jews among the Mensheviki
as among the Bolsheviki. The letter
quotes some very interesting figures
as the result OF the elections. In the
old Pale of Settlement there were 49,
600 votes for the Mensheviki. and no
Bolsheviki votes at ALL In the southern
provinces of the pale 1900 votes
were cast for the Mensheviki and only
about 5000 for the Bolsheviki. The
Jewish Bund and other Jewish Social
list parties belong to and work for the
Mensheviki. These figures are taken
from a Bolsheviki weekly, which ap-
pears in Stockholm, strangely enough,
IN German, and indicate that the
great masses of the Jewish people in
Russia are not in sympathy with the
extreme wing of the Russian radicals.

BRITISH FLAG WAVES OVER
JERUSALEM.

JERUSALEM.
London, Dec. 1O-Jerusalem has
fallen.
Capture of the holy city, Jewry's
most hallowed spot, by General Allen
by's British expeditionary forces, was
announced here today by Bonar Law,
chancellor of the exchequer, in the
house of commons.
Jerusalem's fate was sealed when
this British expeditionary force on
Nov. l captured GAIA, Immediately
after taking the ancient city of Beer
sheba. General Allenby sent his forces
rapidly north and a fortnight later
they took Jaffa, the olden city of
Joppa, and seaport of Jerusalem.
From Joppa the British began their
encircling movement around the holy
city itself, striking north and east. At
latest reports, last week, they were
within about nine miles of the city.
In sentimental and romantic aspect
the capture of Jerusalem far exceeds
even the fall of fable crowned Bagdad,
The modern city of Jerusalem contains
about 10000 inhabitants and is the
home of pestilence, filth and fevers,
but in historic interest it naturally SUR
passes, to the Jewish world, all other
places in the world. Since the days
when Joshua wrested it from the
hands of the Jebusites to make it the
capital of the Jewish race, Jerusalem
has been the priced prey of half the
races of the world. 1t has passed sue
cessively into the hands of the Assy-
rians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans,
Persians, Arabs, Turks, the motley
crowds of the Crusaders, finally to
fall before the descendants of that
Richard the Lionhearted, who strove
in vain for its possession more than
700 years ago.
