Metzerott Turned Down Captaincy

State Senator elect Metzerott has
been offered a captsincy in either the
Signal Service of the Ordnance Service
of the War Department. saga the
Baltimore American. He has de
clined these offers because they involve
desk work in Washington during the
war and preclude all possibility of &C.
tive participation in the real fighting
in France. Before he entered the
training camp at Fort Myer Mr.. Met
zerotl had been told that he could cb,
tain commission in the. Reserve Corps
but be declined it because he wanted
active service in the lines.
A few weeks ago, while at the train
ing camp, Mr.. Aetzerott was told By
his commanding officer that he Lacked;
the military experience which woul
warrant his commission as captain,
and thati it was assumed he would not
care for a first lieutenancy on account
of his age. The proffsr of captain 8
commission in the Reserve Corps for
duty in Warrington was again made to
Ar. Metzerott and again declined. He
had meanwhile been elected to the State
Senate and he decided that if the war
continued during the winter and the
spring he would still have ample time
to accept the commission offered him
after the Legislature adjourned OF
April J..

THE RUSSIAN CRISIS.

The crisis in the Russian Cabinet
affords some indication of the seetk
ing unrest in the Empire, a condi-
ton which has not been understood
in this country, simply because the
truth has not been revealed. The
powerful influences that are doing
all that they can to rehabilitate Rus
STA in the eyes of the American peo-
pie have seen to it that the facts
should not be known. The National
City Bank, of New York, which is
about to open branch in Russia,
typihes these influences on the finan-
cial side.
On the other hand, those who be-
lieve that it is necessary in the in
terests of the Entente Allies to keep
dark the knowledge of the progress
of reaction in the Cars govern
ment are doing all they can to make
it appear that new Russia has been
born, in which real freedom and lib
eral ideas were to have full sway.
1t has been known to all who under
stand what is actually happening
that the same old reactionary and

afraid to let his identity be known.
If the writer's motive is worthy
one, why be afraid? He may wish
his report, or suggestion to remain
confidential with the editor. In that
case he should trust the editor and
ask that it be confidential. Honor
able people do not betray their
friends condolences.
Particularly stupid are communi-
cations that are probably meant to be
funny. Not knowing the author, how
can the would-be humor be appreciat-
ed. For all we know the writer may
be in earnest. And, so, our advice to
all such is: Save the postage.

despotic crowd is in control of Rus
sian policy.
The events of the past month
show conclusively that their infor-
nation is correct and their diagnosis
is sound. Trepoff, the dismissed
Prime. Minister, was not a Liberal
in any true sense of the term, al
though he was not supposed to be
Reactionary. He was appointed as
a moderate concession to the en-
lightened groups in the Duma. AS
it is, his ministry lasted about a
month.
His successor, NJ. Golitzine, is an
out and out Reactionary, one who is
living in the Russian seventeenth
century. It appears that. M. Proto-
poff, the Minister of the Interior, is
to be the dominant figure in the re-
constructed Cabinet. In him the
Gar and the bureaucrats have, an
administrator after their own hearts.
Those who want to work up any en-
thusiasm over this peculiar outfit are
welcome. to the qualification result
ing from the pleasures of the mag
nation arising from such an exer-
else. But those whose minds are
open, and whose sympathies are
sane and sound, cannot fail to real
ize that.it is the same old Russia that
is waging the present war, for which
in the last analysis she is as much
responsible as the Central Powers.

included works in both French and
Hebrew and were admired not less
for their charm of style and purity
of diction than for their rich con-
tents, which evinced depth of
thought, originality and erudition.
Katzenelson, on the other hand,
who was born in Bobruisk, in the
government of Minsk, Russia, had
a career which is as interesting as it
is important. He had at first in
tended to make the rabbinate his
hfe's calling and attended the rab-
binical school of Jitomir,- but later
entered the St. Petersburg Imperial
Medico-S Surgical Academy, from
which he graduated in 1877. When
the Russo Turkish War broke out,
he at once offered his services to the
Russian government and showed
such efficiency and self-sacrifcing
LOYALTY in his work that he was
twice decorated by the Car. At the

for some time in the clinical hospital
attached to the military college
(Voyennaya Akademia) and was
then appointed to the staff of the
leading government hospital of St.
Petersburg. But it was mostly
through his writings, in which he
adopted the pseudonym of "Bukki
ben Yogli," and which included He
brew, Russian and German, that he
became famous.
AS these older men and masters
of Jewish lore and literature pass
away, the pathetic but unanswerable
question forces itself upon ones
mind: "What scholars and writer's
have we today among the younger
generation of Jews to take the places
of those who are gathered to their
fathers ?''-The Jewish Ledger.

HALEVY AND KATZENELSON

HALEVY AND KATZENELSON
The number Of truly great schol-
ars and writer's that have been lost
to our people within the past two
years is extremely large. Causes
both natural and unnatural have, it
seems, conspired to bereave us dur
ing that period of time of many
whose services to the cause OF our
people and that of mankind in gen
eral are invaluable. Not only have
some distinguished scholars and
writer's lost their lives upon the bat
tlefeld, but the misery and the
wretchedness that prevail among
the million of Jews in the war-strick-
en- lands have preyed on the minds
of many thinkers and writer's to
such an extent that their lives were
actually shortened, and they went
down to an early grave.
To those that we're thus lost to
our people from one cause or an
other, the names of two really great
scholars and writer's must now be
added. Last week Joseph Halevy,
the French Orientalist and judah
Lob Katzenelson, the distinguished
Russian physician, passed away,
causing gap in the ranks of Jew
ish worthless that cannot easily be
filled. Of these two scholars, Hal
evy had reached the ripe old age of
80, while Katzenelson was 20 years
old. The services that these two
men had rendered the cause of Juda
ism and Jewish science are indeed
very great. Halevy, who was born
in Adrianople and who was profess
sor of Ethiopic in the Ecole des
Hautes Etudes and the librarian of
the Asiatic Society, in Paris, gained
a worldwide reputation for his mum
erous writings on Oriental philology
and archaeology, and more partic-
ularly for his original researches in
Bible lands and literature, which
furnished clear and convincing
refutation of the contentious of the
so-called higher criticism, which in
many instances attempted to rob the
Bible of it's historic worth and value
and to discredit many Of it's accounts
of historic facts and narratives O.
historic personages. His writings
