THE BOLSHEVIKI AND THE
Jews
JEWS.

Jews that the collapse of the Bolshe-
vik movement will bring in its wake
untold Jewish suffering, gives add
ed point to the report of the Petro-
grad correspondent of the London
Jewish Chronicle, that the Jewish
situation has risen out of the ascen-
dency Of Bolshevism He writes
in the issue Of January 18th:
"When our Zionist leaders had
occasion to converse with heads of
the Embassy in connection with
the Declaration on Palestine issued
by the British Government, their at
tention was drawn to M. Trotzky's
attitude towards England. The
Zionist leaders could only repeat
what ] have already communicated
to you, namely, that M. Trotzky
had severed his connection with
Judaism and Jews. So far as the
Embassy is concerned it already had
had the satisfaction Of realizing the
true feeling of Russian Jewry to-
wards England. The Jewish reso-
lutions Of appreciation of the Brit
ish Declaration on Zionism, the
demonstrations Of joy and praise Of
England, the articles in the Jewish
Press with the heading Long Live
England and, finally the greetings
of the Young Zionist Workmen's
Organization Comprising 10000
members) to the British democracy
and the promise of that Organiza-
ton to make sacrifices for Palestine,
were unmistakab1e signs of the
warm sympathy of the Jews to-
wards England. The British sue.
cesses in Palestine also evoked
great enthusiasm among the Russian
Jews.
"F1owever, it became known that
great deal Of ill-feeling is caused
in Allied countries by misrepresen-.
tat1OnS of facts. In some quarters,
tor instance, -1eutS. kr1lenkO and
Shneur (the Commanders Chief
and the Peace Envoy respectively
were described as Jews. Lieut..
Abram Krilenko is not only Chris
tan but is very doubtful friend
of the Jews. Before the war he, was
a teacher in Poland, and inx that
capacity he supported the Real Rus
sian organizations and preached for
the classification of Poland Lieut..
vladimir Shneur was a cavalry Of
ficer and detective under the
Tsar's regime. In that role, he, too,
supported the Black Hundreds.
Con the outbreak of the Bolshe-
vik rising the Jews definitely ranged

PROPAGANDA OF THE
BLACK HUNDREDS DIS
COVERED.

Petrograd (by J.: Co. The Bolshe-
wiki Government discovered a very
peculiar rendezvous of Black Hun
dreds and pogrom agitators. 1t is
very interesting to note that the
discovery did not consist of ''litera
ture'' and circulars, but vast sup
ply Of brandy, wine and weapons.
It has been confirmed that this
pogrom clique distributed these
liquors on condition that pogrons
were to be made against the Jews.
The ring leaders of the organiza-
ton are under arrest.

THE AMERICAN JEWISH WORLD

by NM Lenin and Trotzky. In all
municipalities the Jewish members
strongly condemned the Bolsheviki.
The Jewish Labour leaders, NM.
Gotz Minor and others opposed
them and NM. Vinaver and Bran
son criticised them in powerful
speeches. M. Ruttenberg defend
ed the Winter Palace by all the
means at his disposal against Lenin.
The Jews in all towns where their
vote could tell sent their own can
didates to the Constituent Assem-
bly, to defend special Jewish inter-
estS.
''The Bolsheviki have not done
single thing to win the Jews. They
have, however, done much to es-
TRANCE the Jews from them. Many
Jews lost their lives in the street
fighting at Moscow, Petrograd,
Kharkoff, Odessa, and other towns.
At Bachmut the Socialist Jewish
Mayor, M. Fleisher, was shot in the
street because he opposed the Boil
sheviki. The crusade against NM.
Vinaver, Gotz and other Jewish
leaders, the arrest of my friend, M.
Bourtzeff, who always defended Our
cause, the campaign against the
"Retch'' and other newspapers, with
their many Jewish contributors, the
arrest of many Jewish journalists
and officers, and other acts, all Great
ed a painful impression among the
Jews.
"Generally speaking, the Bolshe
Wiki leaders are strong-willed and
determined personalities, who be-
lieve that a Socialist or Anarchist
State can be established Immediate
ly by series of DEGREES and high
handed suppression of all opposi-
ton. They are aided, however, by
many doubtful personalities whose
help they readily accept. For in
stance, one Of their wire-pullers in
the elections for the Constituent As
sembly is NJ. Malantovitch, the
author of treatise on "The Murder
of Yuschinsky by Jews and Cadets"

The following qualifications must
be met by male applicants: those who
have not been in this service before
must have reached their sixteenth

Youngsters NOW
OlUn TWO Real
Hun Helmets
Edward Sheehy and Edward O'Con-
nor Receive Two German Helmets
From Their Uncle In France
Picked Up in No Mans Land.

Two of the proudest boys in Grand
Forks today are Masters Edward
Sheehy and Edward O'Connor, the re-
cipients Of two genuine Fritz helmers,
picked up on No Mans Land in
France. by their uncle. William
O'Hara.
After an attack, in which O'Hara
participated. he was granted permm-
sion by his major to explore the re-
gion between the American trench
and the German trench just evacuat-
ed, and picked up the two helmets,
which he sent to his two small
nephews in Grand Forks. The SOU
venirs were mailed from. the battle
front postal Office and came direct
to this city, arriving only a. few days
after the letter stating that they had
been sent, arrived.
The helmets, which were displayed
today at the First Savings bank, are
OF the usual German type, more or
less familiar now a. souvenirs lover
here" The helmets are Of uniform
shape and size and weigh about three
pounds each. One is OF the original
steel metal color and was undoubtedly
worn by a soldier in an attack, as it
bore dints on the surface. The 9TH
er which was practically unmarried,
was decorated with the camouflage
colors Of yellow. green. dun and
black, and was thought to be used
by soldiers situated in a tree obser-
walton post.
The helmets were equipped with
the sniper's lug for sniper attach.
ment and the inside of the crown Il
lined with pads to protect the head.
O'Hara has been in many active en-
gagements and has come out unintur-
ed. His small nephews are as proud
of their uncle as they are of the two
helmets which are now theirs 40,

WHISTLES ARE
BLOWN IN CITY
Sensational, But Unfounded
Rurnors Create Premature
Excitement.

some excitement was created in the
streets Of Grand Forks this noon
when reports were scattered through
out the city to the effect that an ar
misttce agreement between Germany
and the Allies had been signed at IL
O'Clock this forenoon European
time); factory whistles were blown to
celebrate the event and for a little
while there was tendency to accept
the reports on the strength of the au-
hority of a news agency.
About the same time reports began
to come to The Herald office over The
Associated Press leased wires that in
Paris and in the foreign Office in Lon
don nothing had been heard about an
armistice. three and four hours after
It was reported to have been signed.
and at 2:15 washington time) an Of
fetal announcement was made by the
state department that no armistice
had been signed, and that the Ger
man delegation bearing the flag of
truce had not even arrived at Field
Marshal Foch's headquarters.
News Wa Premature.
: In view OF these facts, 1t appears
that the quasi-celebration taking
tie premature. The episode served as
q new reminder Of the fact that when
The Herald receives important in
formation from abroad without n
official confirmation. it is in no hurry
to accept such statements and rumors
as truths until official ~verif1cation Is
forthcoming.
In this particular instance the at
tempt to score a sensation by giving
mere rumors as accepted facts was
particularly unfortunate and striking
~ unsuccessful. Shortly after noon
The Herald issued an extra edition
mentioning the fact that rumors were
circulated to the effect that an armi-
stice had been signed and making no
pHetensions whatsoever to publish the
rumors as facts.
1t may not be. out Of place at this
time to call attention to The Herald's
telegraph and cable service received
over the leased wires Of The ASCOT
ated Press day and night. No press
organisation in America or Europe
carries more complete or more or

stitution, the benefits Of which are en-
joyed by all readers Of The Herald

Plans Are Discussed for A1raugaR
Community Demonstration OF
Thanksgiving and Grahncatton
When OARcial News Arrives.

Business and professional men in
this city today discussed tentative
plans for arranging a victory celebra-
ton as soon as possible after the re-
ceipt OF official news to the effect
that an armistice agreement has been
signed between the German pleni-
potentiaries and Field Marshal Foch,
acting for the Allies.
Attention was called to the fact
that there will be occasion for two
celebrations-one when the armistice
is agreed to. and another when peace
is actually declared. To distinguish
between the two affairs, 1t was sur.
gested that the first be called Victory
Fete and the other Peace Celebra-
ton.
One professional man in the city
ed action should be taken to forrnu-
late plans for celebrating the victory
which has been won when signatures
are affixed to the armistice protocol.
1t ought to be a community DEM
onstration Of thanksgiving he said,
land the occasion should call forth
a re-statement Of the purposes, for
which the United States entered the
war. We should get together and
celebrate the fact by our sacrifices,
physical and spiritual. we have ac-
complished what we set out to do: I
think it would be well for some pub
lic-spirited citizens to immed.a.ep
organize themselves into q commit
tee taking these plans under censid>
Grafton.
Zone of the features of such a Vic
tory Fete should be the greatest ans
play of American and Allied flags
ever seen in the city, and the way it
looks now. there may be no doubt but
that the armistice agreement win De
signed very o For this a no
time should be lost in making such
arrangements as can be made in 50
far as they do not conflict with anv
orders effective under the ruling Of
the health authorities"
Inquiries made among a numoer
OF citizens today revealed the fact
that the Idea of a Victory Fete is a
very popular one.
