CURRENT COMMENT
Consumption Reaches Far.

The arm OF CONSUMPTION may be great
ly heightened when nations unite for
war By agreement between the govern
ments of the two countries, British con
scription reaches into the Russian EN-
pire and Russian CONSUMPTION reaches
into the United Kingdom, Neither the
Englishmen of military age in Russia
nor the Russians of military age in Eng
land can escape military service. They
can only choose in which army they will
serve, under the flag of their native
country or that of the country in which
they reside. This unusual arrangement
has been made principally to meet the
peculiar situation and sentiment of Rus
sian Jews living in England. There are
thousands of these and many are po-
litical refugees who fled from Russia in
days OF persecution. 1t was not good
news to them when rumor said some
months ago that they would be called
back to serve in the army of the ear.
They might be cordially welcomed by
the higher authorities, but they might
be put into regiments where liberal
thought had not displaced anti-Jewish |
prejudice. This they feared, and Eng |
lands influential Jews pleaded with their
government to prevent the dreaded re-
call, Hence the compromise. The Rus.
sian Jews need not return, but they |
must serve their country's cause. II

There is some consolation in the fact
that three of the II United States sen.

ter could have been expected.
