News dispatches from Petrograd 10
the effect that the new democratic
Russia has taken step toward grant
ing full rights of citizenship to the
Jews, and that the abolition of the
Jewish pale of settlement is con-
templated, have aroused great inter.
est among the 100000 Jewish resi-
dents of Greater Boston.
The announcement recalls the
French revolution, more commonly
known as the reign of terror, at the
twilight of the eighteenth century,
which has probabl been the greatest

cipation of the Jew. Bloody and cruel
as that fight for liberty and freedom
has been, were it not for Robespierre
and his comrades, and for the gull
lotine which ended the career Of
Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette,
Russia and Rumania would not be
the only nations today denying
equal rights to the members of the
Jewish faith.
The estimated Jewish population OF
the world is approximately 100000.
OF this number about 5000, 900 live in
Russia. This is about Ais per cent
of the total population Of the Rus
sian empire.
These figures indicate wildly the
significance of the reported intsn-
ton to grant the civil and religious
rights to Jews enjoyed by the other
subjects. Il the proposed project is
carried out, it means the liberation
Of practically one-half of the Jews Of
the world. Deep significance is at
tached to the event 1t is taken TO
mark a new historical era for the
Jews the world over.

full and overfiowing with promises of

ceive unqualified freedom and am

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Cedar Rapids Republican,: Iowans
are glad to see the number II gradu'
ally being changed to II, referring tn
the bucking bronchoes in the United
States senate, for that leaves Iowa
with only one in the list. The re-
count excludes Senator Kenyon from
this state whose name is now being
generally omitted from the list of
those who "flirted with treason" in
the face of an enemy. The junior
senator from this state, however, has
had hard time getting himself prop
erly classified and it ought to teach
him hereafter to pick better asso-
ciates than Vardamans, Kirbys,
Clapps and La Follettes-any loyal
man caught in the company Of such
men would soon lose what good name
he has left in a republic that is min l.
ed to be patriotic.
Marshalltown Times Republican:
The folks at home are coming to the
conclusion that the road laws don't
need fixing as much as the lawmak-
ers. And some of them are due to be
worked over considerably.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: And it does
seem as if the man who is going to
fight, and perhaps to die for his
country, ought to be the best paid
man in the land. No matter how big
his pay might be made, there are
quite a few people who would not
covet his job.

ing Romanoff, accent the last syllable

AMID THE STARRY FLEETS.

AMID THE STARRY FLEETS.
Amid the starry fleets of heaven
Six kings sail abroad tonight
six kings that buried one OF seven
At the fall of night
With their virgin queen presiding
Ger the silvery night
Six great kings serenely riding
To the zenith's height
In line OF stately distance ,
Travel five abreast,
While the brightest with persistence
Journeys down the west
Six kings that buried one of seven
Greatest king OF all,
Dropping slowly out Of heaven
Like a golden ball,
Dark the azure seas that bore him;
In their depths seen
Myriad hosts that fled before him
With their goddess queen
Through dim seas Of starry pattern
Sail without demur
Castor. Pollux, Proclon, Saturn,
Sirius, Jupiter.

AMERICAN TRADE WITH RUSSIA.

That one result of the successful revolution
in Russia will be rapid development of Ameri-
can trade with that country is the belief of
eastern states businessmen familiar with Rus
sian commercial conditions. It will be recalled
that when the economic conference met in Paris
many competent observers pointed out the prob
ability that, no matter what steps Great
Britain and her allies might take to limit after
war trade with Germany, Russia would re-
sumo her commercial reations with the central
powers soon after the end of the conflict. Ac-
cording to expert opinion in this country, the
old regime in Russia would have protected Ger
man interests at the close Of the war. But the
outlook has been changed by the revolution,
and it is said that the new order stands for the
protection of American capital and is in full
sympathy with the business interests of the
United States.
One New York City businessman, who is in
close touch with Russian trade conditions, is
quoted as saying that within thenext six months
there probably will be opened to American
capital opportunities such as have rarely been
eoualed in the history of our commences that
vast quantities of machinery are needed in Rus
STA, and that with a friendly feeling toward
American businessmen it will be possible for
American capital to gain a foothold in that
country. What this would mean to American
manufacturers and exporters will be easily I'M
derstood One Of the most important effects Of
the revolution may be seen in the shifting Of
Russian trade and it is not unreasonable to ex-
pect that the change will bring new and attrac-
tive OPPORTUNITIES in United States export com
merce.
