THE RUSSIAN REVOLUTION.

1t has come at last! The day that
millions and millions of men in and
out of Russia have hoped for, prayed
for, longed for, the day of Russia's
freedom, has come The great giant
of Eastern Europe has awakened
from his ages-long torpor, has broken
the chains that enslaved him, and
made him the butt of the worlds ridi-
Guile and contempt. That Russia
should have fingered SO long in its
medieval state of barbarism was in
deed a puzzle to the world. Yet how
could it be otherwise? Huge bodies
move more slowly. Giants are reused
with difficulty, and Russia is giant,
a giant in size and strength, huge in
extent of territory, in population, in
resources as yet untouched.
How we'll the revolution must have
been planned and timed to be con-
sumn1ated so swiftly, SO coolly, SO un
erringly, and withal SO quietly, COM
paratively speaking. The war, of
course, was Russia's liberals and rad
icals' opportunity. With the armies
on her western front suffering de-
feat after defeat, due largely to the

THE REVOLUTION AND THE
JEWS OF RUSSIA.

For the SIX million Jews of Russia
a certain day in Adar-we don't know
yet the exact date when the essential
coup of the revolution was carried
out-will become day of annual fes-
tivity and celebration. It will mark
their day of liberation from bondage
to freedom, from darkness to light,
from sorrow 10 JOY" According to
the meagre news dispatches that have
so far reached this country, the new
government has declared itself for
equal political rights and privileges to
all the elements of the population, re-
CARELESS of racial and religious differ
ences, and has abolished the pale of
Jewish settlement. Thus the political
and economic problem of the Jews of
Russia is solved. With perfect free
dom to live in any part of the coun-
try they choose, to engage in any oc
cupation they like, to buy and own
farm land, to give their children the
proper education, there is no reason
why the Jews of Russia should not be
as comfortable and as prosperous as
the Jews of any other free country,
and should no longer be emigrants
and refugees seeking new homes in
distant lands. The opportunities that
a free Russia affords to intelligent
and industrious people to obtain a
comfortable livelihood, and even TO
create wealth, are greater than those
of any other European country. The
resources of wealth of Russias vast
European and Asiatic territory are be-
yond measure. Given the necessary
freedom of action, with a rapidly
multiplying population such as is Rus
sia's, these resources must and will
be opened up and worked with the ut
most energy, and industry and COM
merce will rival in their development
those of other countries. And no one
in Russia is better qualified to -partici-
pate in this new development and ex-
pansion than the Jew, who in spite of
all repression and restriction, in spite
of cruel prejudice and persecution
has always been a leading factor in

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLA

government, with the masses of the
people in the large centers suffering
from starvation and disease due to the
same causes, with grating officialdom
fattening on the misfortunes of the
nation, with a weak, blind, bigoted
car surrounded by blind, bigoted and
stupid advisers, who knew of no bet
ter method of governing than the ap-
plication of the knout, and with the
army, the last support of all despot-
ism, in the different battlefelds, and
not too we'll satisfied with the loving
care the brutal bureaucrats at home
were bestowing upon twas not this
the time for the revolutionists to
strike? And how we'll the blow was
aimed, and with what telling effect!
The Russian revolution had TO
come. That all who know the onward
sweep of the worlds progress could
foresee and foretell The spirit Of
freedom, of democracy, is moving on,
though here and there it suffers from
temporary checks. There is that di-
vine spark in the hearts of men that
sooner or later sets them ahame with
the passion for justice and freedom.
Ignorance, weakness and helplessness
may seem to extinguish it. But
breeze blowing from the mysterious
heavenly regions fans it into life, and
behold, a nation is rid of it's tyrants
Such is the operation of the divine
law.
Will Russia really remain free? Of
course there is the danger of reac-
ton, of a counter revolution. The re-
dictionaries may be only temporarily
overthrown and scattered. They may
rally their forces again, and infict a
crushing defeat on the forces of the
revolution. Such things have hap
pened in history before. The greatest
danger to the newly won liberty turks
in the power of the Russian church
with it's Black Hundreds. That is
tyranny's last line of trenches. How
the new government will deal with it
to make it harmless without hurting
the religious feelings of the masses,
how it will perform the delicate opera
ton of separating it from the state,
will be the real test Of liberty's
strength and pern1anency. In the ex-
ercise of prudence and moderation,
such moderation as the new govern
ment has SO far displayed, will it find
its stability. And with the army for
some time remaining in the field, and
with the prospect of Germany, too,
soon Kidding herself of Kaiser and
junkerdom, there is no immediate
danger threatening.

RABBITS URGED AS FOOD
SOURCE
Federal Experts Suggest That Hares
be Raised in City Back
Yards.

Washington. d. c., July I4.-Rab-
bits, which have proved a valuable
source of food in Europe during the
present war, may we'll be raised more
extensively in America by way Of re-
ducing the drain on the ordinary
meat supply. according to biologists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. The business of grow
ing rabbits, the specialists point out,
can be carried on by youths and
adults not engaged in military or
other national service or in regular
industrial employment. The animals
may be raised in back yards Of cities
and towns as we'll as on farms.
The Belgian hare. says a statement
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, breeds rapidly, natures
quickly and produces a palatable and
highly nutritious meat. The cost of
production is less than that of any
other meat, not excepting poultry.
The supply can be greatly in
creased within a few months, with
out requiring space that may be need.
ed for the production of crops.
Practical experience has demonstrat-
ed that rabbit meat can be produced
in unlimited quantities at a cost of
about 6 cents pound; and by utiliz-
ing lawn cuttings and other vegeta-
ton that would otherwise be wasted,
the cost can be made even lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant
rabbits are recommended for meat
production. as the ordinary tame rab-
bit is smaller and develops more
slowly.
Stock Of Belgian hares may be
bought from breeders in nearly ali

NEW LIBERTY LOAN WILL
ROUSE NATION
Next War Bonds Said to Total
Three Billion Dollars.

New York. July 2I.-The work .
organizing the machinery for floatinl
the next Liberty Loan began at I,
meeting Of representatives of the fed
eral reserve banks of this city, Bos
ton. Philadelphia, Richmond, VA,
Cleveland and Chicago in the offic,
of the New York Liberty Loan com
mittee.
The meeting was called at the Sug
gestion of the New York committee
with the approval of the theasury De
partment, to get all the central and
local committees so coordinated that
they will be prepared to float loar
whenever the necessities of the wal
call for one.
The general expectation is that the
next loan will be floated' in about
three months. and will be for $3,ooo,-
900, 900, the balance OF the authorized
$1,000. .ooo, 900. Several bankers ex-
pressed surprise at the reports from
Washington that the next loan might
be as large as $4,000. .ooo,ooo
I'VE had absolutely no intimation
OF that prominent banker at the
meeting said Five billion dollars
would mean that congress would
have to authorize an additional $2,-
600. 5000, 900. But whether it is for
$4,000 100000 or $4,000, 100000, we
expect to be prepared to handle it in
the most efficient fashion"
"An experience meeting" was one
committeeman description of the
session, I'VE all confessed the mis-
takes we had made on the last loan
and the committee of every city rep
resented told the difficulties it had
encountered. We feel that practical
ly every one of these troubles can be
avoided in the next loan"
Practically every one present, it
was said. agreed that most of the mis-
takes were traceable to the fact that
the campaign committees were not
until after Secretary Nc
Adoo had announced the initial Of
sring OF $4,000, 100000. The sub
,criptions were opened on the same
FAY. May ,. but It was not until May
Z, that the campaign for the sale OF
he bonds got under way.
