 A Brutal Charge.
 It is, therefore, the height of cruelty to charge him with respon- sibility for Bolshevisna, when it's doc trines, should they. prevail, would in
 evitably lead to the destruction of Judaism. It is especially a brutal
 charge when one considers all that
 the Jew has suffered from the op-
 pressive and discriminatory laws of. Russian autocracy and from it's eff. fort to suppress every aspiration that
 the Jew had for freedom. It is a. great tribute to the patriotism of the
 Russian Jews that, in spite of the
 indignitieS that they hadf to undergo hundreds of them fought under the banner of the cZar, loyally, and gal lantly, and in large numbers laid down their lives in the allied cause.
 The: rosters of the army and navy Of the United States contain the names of tens of thousands of Jews born in Russia who served so faithfully under our co1ors that they gained the unqualified approval of their of ficersA and proportionately many, of them were awarded decorations of honor by a grateful country.
