ITALIAN SOCIALISTS
WANT CAPTVES FREED

ROME, Nov. 20. (By the Associated
Press THE directorate of the social
list party yesterday wrote Premier Nltti
demanding that Russian prisoners taken
over by italy from Austria Hungary
after the defeat of the dual monarchy
be released Internationally. The So
cialists say they will undertake to pro-
vide work by which the Russians may
support themselves If they desire to
remain in Italy. They also demand that
the government negotiate with the ex-
listing Russian governments for the re-
patriation of the prisoners,
The Russians are lnterned on the
island OF Asinara, off the northwest
coast of Sardinia. The socialists claim
that the Russians are being unjustly
treated, italy not being at war with
Russia. 1t is pointed out besides that
the Russians fought with the entente
against the central powers.
The letter accuses the government OF
cooperating with the ''czarist dicta-
tors" Kolohak and Denikine, by per-
hitting the Russian military mission in
Italy to conduct propaganda among the
prisoners for the object OF inducing
them to enlist in the Kolchak and Deni-
kline armies. The propagandists are
charged with using irhuman means to
coerce the prisoners, even arresting
those who dared resist bribery.

fear or favor or prejudice. Let us
not close our eyes to the fact that
Jews are in one way or another
drawn to the new cult. 1t is true
that many of them whose reasoning
powers are not entirely atrophied
try it and drop it. 1t is also true
that when a Jew becomes a Chris
tan Scientist, it is no greater loss
to us, and no more reason for alarm,
than when a Jew becomes Cath
Ollie or an Episcopalian, which hap
pens just as often. Yet there is this
difference: Jews and especially Jew
esses become interested in Chris
tan Science, accept its doctrines,
and yet remain with us and among
us. 1t is for the benefit of such that
our discussion is intended.
We don't agree with those who
in this connection often quote to us
the Ta1mudic saying: LET the
drunken man alone; he will anyway
fall" If we can prevent the drunk
en- mans fall, it is our duty to do
so. We must repeat what we said
once before, that when other cults
and churches make the utmost eff
forts to win converts, we should at
least try to keep our own within
the fold.

growth of Jerusalem and Jaffa as
trade-centres, as well as the opening
up of new centres, which is sure to
follow, the Chalukah may eventually
become thing of the past?
Our hopes are many, and Zionists
the world over have many reasons
to be optimistic The feasibility of
Zionism is now clearly an estab
lished fact. We are but waiting for
the moment when our national ma
chinery, feeble and inefficient as it
may appear, will not only surprise
our enemies, but even those of us
who hoped but who were apt to
doubt. All this may not occur as
rapidly as one would imagine, but
we must watch and wait.
