THE FIRST RUSSIAN ZIONIST
BULLETIN.

The Provisional Zionist Commit
tee has received the first Zionist
bulletin ever printed publicly and
disseminated through the mails in
Russia, without the interference of
a censor or the arrest of the pub
fishers. It is devoted to an appeal
to the Jewish youth of Russia to
participate in the Zionist move
ment and detailed plans of the new
propaganda.

HOW MUCH is LIBERTY
WORTH TO YOU?

This is a question that every
American should ask himself or
herself. For generations we have
boasted of our love of liberty. We
have called our country "the land
of the free and the home of the
brave" 1t has been proved in 9TH
er wars that this was not mere
empty boast by our fathers and
our forefathers. But the question
of how much is liberty worth to
this generation has not yet been
fully answered.
1t is going to be answered nobly
by those who serve under the COL
ors. Many of them will answer with
their death. 1t is going to be an
swered and answered clearly by
others who serve their country as
best they may. It is going to be
answered by others still who, un-
able to render personal service,
have yet furnished their Govern
ment the means to prosecute the
war.
The number of subscribers to
the Liberty Loan Bonds is going
to be an index of the love of lib
erty of the American citizenry of
today. The list Of Liberty Loan
Bond holders is going to be direc-
tory of the patriots Of America.

men. Shall we be more tender with

her children, and refuseth to be
comforted. Her children are a
number of Reform rabbis, yea,
graduates of the Hebrew Union
College, who have of late been cap
tured by the nationalistic enemy
and carried off into Zionistic cap
tivity. And that among them
should be some of the oldest, tru-
est, staunchest advocates Of Re-
form Judaism, such as Drs. Kraus-
kopf and Silverman! These adj
ded to the former captives, and to
a number of recent younger exiles,
make indeed sad spectacle. And
the enemy is still at the gate.
Yes, many Reform rabbis, young
and old, are now in the Zionistic
ranks. We venture to say that if
a vote were now taken among the
members of the Conference of
American Rabbits, all leaders of Re-
form congregations, the vote would
be equally divided between Zion
ism and anti-Zionism. And Zion
ism threatens to make still further
gains. Nothing succeeds like sue
cess, and that is Zionism.
What shall be done? The Jew
ish Comment advocates an organ
ization Of Reform congregations
and Reform rabbis to combat the
nationalistic heresy. But we are
organized, and you cannot organize
what is already organized. The
only way would be to reorganize,
and expel from the new organiza-
ton all those who are tainted with
the heresy. To save the ants all
such trouble, we propose that the
Zionist Reform rabbis organize
and expel the others. In a little
while that will be the easier of the
two courses.
The Jewish Comment demands
that the proponents of universalis-
tic prophetic Judaism make their
declaration of principles anew. Let
them go to it. If they can i'm
prove upon Isaiah's declaration,
let them try. If they can produce
something better than Isaiah 2:
IA, something that will have the
same prophetic stamp, we shall ac-
cept it.
The Jewish Comment laments
that hundreds who are prominent
in Zionistic circles are irreligion-
lists, and even atheists. To argue
this question would necessitate a
thorough threshing out of the old
problem as to what is religion, and
what is atheism, which we fear the
Jewish Comment will be no more

eminent church leader, Cardinal
Gibbons, or the imposing showing
of the Catholic church, or some
other cause, we know that some of
our Baltimore colleagues are
strongly impregnated with that
ideal.
Let this, then, be made the is
sue: Jewish ecclesiasticism, or
Jewish nationalism. Judaism in
it's religious aspect has nothing to
fear from Zionism. Zionism is it's
strongest and most effective pre-
servative. Jewish ecclesiasticism
may have to worry. But worry and
lamentation never help much.
In the death of Joseph Elsinger,
founder and president of the Cold
en- Rule department store, st. Paul
has lost one Of it's leading Jewish
merchants and philanthropists.
Mr.. Elsinger's charity was of that
broad type that knows no race or
creed. His sympathies were par
ticularly warm for the unfortunate
out-casts of society, and for those
suffering from race prejudice. His
memory will live in many grateful
hearts.
