Mr.. Thurston, distributed over pc

The. Mailing of . Lie.

Time and again have Russian mon
archists and Jew-baiters tried TO
bolster up. their bad and vanishing
cause by fastening the responsibility
for the murder. OF the late czar upon
the Jewish group of communists.
Nothing seemed easier and apparently
more likely. Nicholas II was known
as rabid Jew batter. He personally
supported and directed the anti
Semitic organization known as the
Black Hundred. He encouraged mas
sacres. promoted governors in whose
provinces pogronns occurred, and did
all an autocratic monarch can do for
the repression of the Jews. What
then. the monarchists imagined.
should be more natural than that the
Jews. bent upon vengeance, should
want to play part in the murder Of
the hated csar.
But the stories and the antizJewish
propaganda Of the Russian monarch
lists were not confirmed by facts 1t
was not by Jews. but by Russians. that
the symbol of Russian despotism was
DESTROYED. These facts came out only
recently. at the hfth anniversary OF the
murder of the late cZar. 1t is now def
nitely made clear that the last Of the
Romanoffs was killed by the local COM
munist soviet when q monarchist plot
to save the czar was unearthed. Be
sides, the CzecbcsSpvak forces were ap-
preaching fekat@rinburg at the time,
and the bolshsviks feared that the cap
ture Of the city would mean the free
ing of the -czar. The execution Of the
whole royal family seemed, therefore,
the only means of preventing the res
toration of the Romanof dynasty. This
report. made public recently in the
New York Times. does away with one
of the worst charges made by the Rus
sian monarchists against the Jews

For the spiritual Rehabilitation Of
the East European Jews.

After the material distress OF the
large masses Of the Jewish war VIC
tins had been relieved. there stlli
remains another sphere OF activity to
which the Jews Of America Will have
to anplv themselves with their usual
energy and zeal. If the Jews OF
America want to see the coming gem

those lands remain faithful TO the
loyal citizens of the respective coun-
tries Of their birth and rearing. means
will have to be provided to carry
out the religious and educational pro-
gram SO necessary Tor the preserNa-
ton of the Jewish faith.
The Central Relief Committee has
dedicated Itself to this task by as
suming the burden Of educating
$50. 600 children Of the war-stricken
countries Of Europe. Included IN TINS
are depending for their education
upon the munificence Of the Jews of
this country.
For five years have the Jews of this
country shown the quality Of mercy.
Jynstintedly they gave to all funds for
the relief Of their less fortunate
brethren. Over $50. 900. 900 have been
poured by the Jews of America into
the relief chest Of the Jews OF east
ern Europe. In asking for additional
sums. the Central Relief Committee
feels that It is doing an essential
Jewish service. Added to the fact
that education in those countries is
in a rudimentary condition. Jewish
children are, as a rule, discriminate
against and denied even that little

Mexican bandit of Jewish Origin.

There was a time when the exploits
of Francisco villa, Mexican bandit,
marauder and revolutionary leader,
recently murdered on his estate. were
watched by half the world. But IL
was not until after his death that 1t
became known that this robber baron,
come out of the middle ages into
modern America. was of Jewish de-
scent. at least as far as his father
was concerned. This information.
furnished by the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency. is based upon an--~tnter-
view which Miss Esperanz Felesquez
Brineas. a talented Mexican writer.
had with the celebrated Mexican
bandit-hero shortly before his death,
Villa. according to the report. did
not remember his father. he having
left his Mexican wife when their
child was yet an infant. Some years
ago the Mexican bandit met man
who told him that he had known his
father. who was Jew of Spanish
origin and went by the name OF Ger
man. His mother, villa declared. con-
cealed his fathers identity by the use
of the name Villa.
This interesting bit OF news.
although surprising, Is not altogether
unlikely. Mexico contained one OK
the oldest Jewish settlements on the
American continent, Jewish refugees
of the inquisition having migrated
there shortly after the discovery OF
America by Columbus. But. whether
true or false, it may be doubteo
whether the list Of notables Of Jewish
descent will be greatly dignlned pE
