THE WAR NOT5IN VAIN.

/. {. > 4
If the revolution in Russia means
that the Jews and other subject races
will be given full citizenship and that
the pale will be abolished, then the
bloody European war has not been in
vain.
The new government has given this
pledge and the Jewish people and the
Poles and other peoples who have felt
the iron heel of Russian tyranny are
rejoicing.
Whether the action will be sus-
tanned by the Russian masses is an
open question, but the chances are
that it will be approved as the masses
of all the various races have been
comparatively friendly in their deal
ings with each other when uninf1u.
enced by government coercion.
The great danger is that the pres
.ent government may be overthrow
by the return of the Romanoffs or the
reactionaries to power. The pogroms
or massacres of the Jews were in
variably arranged either by the gov
eminent or the Greek church authori-
ties.
Let us hope that there will never he
a reversion to government by terror
ism.

Scenes from "he Baptist

"The idea of raising Jewish regi-
ment, which you say they plan to do
lin New York, seems to me utterly alb
surd,' declared DR.. Emil G. Hirsch
today, with reference to a report that
Samuel Untermyer and other Jewish
financiers of New York had pledged
themselves to do everything within
their means to recruit and outfit a
Jewish regiment.
If Jews want to join the army, let
them do so. But why organize a spe-
cial Jewish regiment? You don't hear
Of any ones organizing Catholic regi-
ment, do you? The idea is ridiculous,
and Jews who promote such things
only add to the impression that the
Jews are clannish."

The Jews of America have done
many things to aid in the firm estab-
lishment Of race hatred against the
colored people of this country.
One Of the latest instances in the
decision of a Jewish judge Cat least we
are so informed that he is Jew, and
if not, he is, certainly un-American)
Judge Joseph David of the superior
court of Cook county, Illinois, who
rules that ''The Birth of Nation
may be shown to minors in Chicago.
Judge Joseph David in the superior
court so ruled today when he granted
the petition of the Epoch Producing
company for a writ of mandamus COM
polling the city to issue permit for

that the picture was immoral and
would arouse race prejudice in the
minds Of the children. ..,

THE MOST LOYAL GROUP.


The colored people of Chicago had
a patriotic rally recently. There were
more than: 5000 persons in attendance
at the main meeting and the, overflow
meetings.
Strong resolutions were passed, in
which they referred to themselves as
the colored citizens of Chicago and
declared that Notwithstanding the fact
that they were not treated as other
American citizens and deprived of
many of their rights of citizenship,
they would not hesitate to give their
lives for their country. That's loyalty
and patriotism, greater than evinced
by any other American group, because
no other class is denied the fights of
citizenship.

meager accounts of the meeting re-
ferred to- the participants as negroes"

ALL AMERICAN REGIMENTS.

i ALL AMERICAN REGIMENTS.
A recent issue Of the Chicago Eve
ming Post, one Of the leading papers
Of the country, contained the: follow
ing editorial:
All American Regiments.
Men who are or who have assumed
to be spokesman for the different
Original nationalities'' which go to
make up our American life have
offered to raise regiments composed
entirely Of volunteers of German
Americans, Swedish-Americans, Irish
Americans, or Of some other kind Of
Americans to serve this country in
time of need.
This is all very well as showing a
proper spirit of willingness to defend
the country, but the good Of the future
Of the land demands that regiments be
composed Of men Of all origins. What
the United States wants to get rid of
is the Americanism which has some
other kind Of an ism coupled with it.
It will make for real Americanism
if into all the regiments which,, un-
happily, may have to be raised there
shall enter all the elements of Ameri-
can life. There is no melting pot like
the army camp kettle; and there is
no democracy like that of the dog
tent. Soldiers in the field get to know
one another. Their aims are the same
and their life becomes the same. They
carry back home the democracy and
the comradeship which they learned to
understand and to love in the field.
We never will get rid of hyphen-
ated Americanism if we have hyphen-
ated regiments in the service. Men
Of English, Irish, German, Swedish,
Scotch or any other extraction should
serve together when the cause is that
of the country which they have made
their own. -. IL

because we believe that every word
of it is true. All good American citi-
zens should join in the effort to break
