RUSSIAN PROSPECTS.

The situation of affairs in Rus
STA is so uncertain in every respect
that it is almost idle to speculate
as to what will or will not hap
pen. The Socialists, Workmen and
Soldiers Committees are the most
influential factors in the new gov
eminent, and as a result of their at
titude Russia has remained mac
tive in the field of late, with very
little prospect of resuming vigor-
GUS offensive in the near future.
This may be the result of condi-
tions over which the government
has no present control. No such
change as has taken place in Rus
STA could have been consummated
without modifying the war plans.
These in turn depend very largely
on the internal affairs of the En-
pire. In view of the fact that the
war started ostensibly because of
Russia's mobilization, and France
was drawn in solely because she
was the ally of that country, it

A JEWISH PRESIDE MT OF PAR
LAMENT.

Sometime ago, a writer of fic-
ton conceived the idea of drawing
an imaginary picture of an mag
mary president of the United
States by the name of Israels. The
presentation of a Jewish president
of the United States was undoubt-
eddy intended to be taken as mere
fiction. Yet facts are stranger
than fiction, and an occurrence Of
last week bears testimony to the
truth of this trite maxim. For,
the fiction of Jewish president of
the United States does not appear
half as strange as does the fact
that Jew, DR.. Gustav Gross, the
leader of the German Nationalist
League, was elected week ago
president of the Lower House of
the Austrian Parliament.
Unlike other men of Jewish de-
scent who occupy prominent posi-
lions in Austria and Hungary, DR..
Gross is protesting Jew, and
comes from a rabbinical family
whose affiliations with the Jewish
community of Cracow are large
and well-marked. This fact in it.
self makes the elevation of DR..
Gross still more remarkable. For,
while Austria-Hungary counts
number of Jews among it's distin-
guished statesmen, while Edward
Horn achieved great fame as Royal

would be the very irony of fate if
she should be the first to throw up
the sponge and ANONYMOUSLY leave
her Allies in the lurch. It is too
early to assert that she is going to
do this, but if the extremists have
their way no other outcome is pos
sible. The American mission ap-
pears to have made good impress
sion thus far. From the tenor of
Mr.. Roots very able address it
seems evident that no attempt will
be made to impress American
opinion as to Russia's internal
affairs on her government. If adj
vice is asked it will, no doubt, be
freely given. In that event the
Jewish question cannot be ignored
on any basis of broad and effective
craftsmanship. Jewish emancipa-
ton must mean so much for Rus
sian efficiency that the slightest de-
gree. of wisdom would make it one
of the main features of the propos-
ed reforms. Thus far there has
been no reason to doubt the good
faith of the government in remov-
ing many restrictions against the
freedom Of action of the Jews of
Russia. If the present govern
ment shall last and with the Con-
stituent Assembly succeed in MAX
ing the revolution permanent it
would have to carry with it COM
plete Jewish emancipation. We
can only wait and see what hap

A GROWING DISEASE.
July 6, 1917.

It is now somewhat more than a
hundred years that a new disease
broke out among us Jews and be-
came epidemic, the disease, name
ly, of Jewish anemia, the thinning
of the Jewish blood, and it's turning
into something akin to baptismal
water. 1t is accompanied by pecu-
liar condition of the spine, spinal
softening, or spinal curvature and
a peculiar itch of the palm, and a
disorder of the nerves. Such per-
son is sooner or later lost to the
Jewish fold, and either he or his
offspring soon finds himself in the
bosom of the church.
This disease used to attack indi-
vidual Jews here and there in for
mer ages, too, especially as re-
suit of suffering brought on by per-
secution. But in the last hundred
years, or beginning with the gen.
GRAFTON that followed Moses Men,
delssohn, it has become epidemic,
spreading over large sections, and
carrying off hundreds of victims.
The deadly germ is often caught
by exposure, exposure to life's
various temptations and allure
ments: social advancement, bust
ness or professional prospects and
material progress and betterment
in general. People nowadays are
perfectly willing to expose them
selves, tho they know the conse-
quences. In explanation of their
foolish action they will give you
many excuses. In recent times, a
stomach-ache, insomnia, bad
liver, or disordered kidneys has
been enough to induce person to
expose himself to the deadly germ.
But whatever the excuse, the
disease is real, and for want of a
better term we shall call it "de-
judaitis."
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1917-07-06

Kuranda attained great prominence
in the affairs of state in Austria,
yet Austria has long been known
as hot-bed of anti-Semitism, and
next to Germany, it is the country
which one would have least ex-
pected to show such a spirit of
broadness and tolerance as to elect
a Jew to the presidency of one of
it's Houses of Parliament.
Still more remarkable is the ele-
walton Of DR.. Gross to this high
position from the fact that only
recently the assassination of the
Austrian Prime Minister by DR..
Adler, who is of Jewish descent,
called forth a great deal of anti
Jewish feeling in that country. But
the exigencies of the times have
evidently brought the Austrian
people and the men of affairs to
the exigencies of the times have
anti-Semites ordinarily do not adj
nit, that an entire people must
never be judged by the acts of an
Individual, and that the Jewish
race, like every other race, must
necessarily have among it's men,
bers all classes and conditions Of
people-the good, the bad and the
Indifferent.
Incidentally, the two events, the
assassination of the Austrian
Prime Minister by the socialist,
Adler, and the election to the presi-
dency in the House of the German
nationalist, Gross, when placed
side by side, point a very signifi-
cant lesson and illustrate we'll the
position in which our people find
themselves. On the one hand, we
have rabid socialist Of Jewish de-
scent, who attains to leadership in
his party because Of his service and
sacrifice in behalf of what he con-
siders to be the cause of humanity,
and who is so zealously fanatical in
his opposition to war as to commit
murder as part OF his antl-War pol
icy, while on the other hand, we
have a processing Jew who is so
fervently devoted to the cause of
German nationalism, which stands
for "war to the utterance," that
at time when the needs and de-
mands of the country require the
services of a man of highest abil-
thy, and answering courage for
the continuance of the war, he is
placed at the head of one of the
Houses of Parliament. A clearer
demonstration than that which is
furnished by these two events
could hardly be found, therefore
of the fact that the Jews can never
