THE SOLDIERS CAT.

During the Crimean War a French
soldier was leaving his native village with
his corps, when a little cat came running
after him 1t would not 90 back, SO he put
1t On his knapsack and carried it along
Day by day she was perchcd up thus and
every night slept by his side One clay a
great battle was to be fought, SO the s,,ldier
left pussy behind with a sick comrade
After he had gone about mile on the
way the cat came running up to him, so
he took 1t on his back again Ausket and
cannon balls were now flying around The
soldier fell twice. but at last dreadful
wound laid him bleeding III the field.
The cat, instead of running awavs
jumped to the place where the blood wa.
flowing and began to lick the wound.
The army doctor then came, and the
lad was carried to the hospital tent. When
he recovered consciousness, he asked
whether he would live or not, and the
doctor said. Yes, thanks to your kind
pussy; she has used her tongue we'll and
has stopped the flow Of blood, otherwise
you would have died Pussy was then
| much petted, and was allowed to stay

WHY RUSSIA PROSECUTED THE JEW

The Russian has not prosecuted the
Jew because he was Russian or because
the Jew was a jew The fundamental
secret of Jewish oppression IN Russia is
the fact that the Jew has not fitted INTO
the economic life of Russia The Jew
never has fitted into fcudal civilization
And it Is not conceivable that he ever can
be made to fit INTO feudal civilization
Wherever the Jew has found himself in a
feuda society he has been grievously
oppressed Feudal England prosecuted
the jew; and it was not until the passing
Of the rule Of the fcudal nobility that the
measure Of freedom which the Jew now
enjoys in England came to him teudal
Spain prosecuted the Jew, and 50 did
feudal France Fcudai Germany was
brutal III its oppression Of the Jew, and
only the development Of German capital
ism brought a measure Of liberation. And
it remains true that, because IN Ger
many among the great capitalist nations
the largest amount Of feudal mIlitarism
remains. antIScmltiSm Is stronger and
more pronounced IN Germany than III
any other Of the capitalist countries.
1t is quite easy to understand the
unfitness Of the jew for a fcudal civilI-
zation Feudalism requires degree Of
servilty that is impossible to the Jewish
mind it requires lliteracy, superstition,
patient submission to constituted auth
Ority, and an acceptance Of cast rule,
which has its roots IN superstition. 1t
requires furthermore q lack of imagi-
nation, which the Jew is not capable.
