RUSSIANS TAKE NEYI OATH soldknhwlunssmrulm to Democratic Government When Informed of Overthrow of Cuar, Saloniki, May 4.—All the Russian troops on the Balkan front have new taken the oath of allegiance to the Russian soldiers in the vicinity of Saloniki were: marshalled on' a suburban parade ground for the ceremony of swearing allegiance to the provisional authority. The general in command addressed them, reading the Russian emperor's proclamation of abdication and explaining that a constitutional convention was to be held later to choose a form of government. “The Emperor has gived up his throne,” said the general, “and has absolved you of youy oath of fealty to him. You are therefore free now to take the oath of .lleshnce to the new I provisional government.’’ Not a dissenting volce was raised when the general read the new oath, | which was first repeated by the offi- | cers and then by the men, all of whom thereupon filed past and kissed the Bible and the cross in token of their new allegiance, In conclusion, the nnerll explained that all courtesy - 'titles had been abolished, and that in future the men must not address him as “Excellency" mut simply as *‘General.” > “Yes, Your Excellency,” repled all the men in chorus, whereupon they were made to repeat their acknow- ledgement in the new manner of *Yes, General.’’ RECRUITING MAN LEAVES Ohlet Radio Hlectrician M.

Sir Alfred, who holds the post of first commissioner for. werks in the Lloyd George cabi- net, is the only Jewish member of the present ministry. “In Russia,” he explained, “the rev- olution briags the promise of com- plete political emancipation; in Pal- | estine, the British advance .Indicates in the near future the realization of !some modified form of a national ji6eal’ which most Jews have held dear for: centuries. “Of the two events, the revolution in Russia {s much the more import- ant development so far as Jews are concerned, for it applies to 65,000,- 000 of my race. Nothing like this number: could possibly be affected by the maturing of the Palestinian ideal. “With the advent of a liberal re- gime in Russia, the sentiment of America, is now pro-Russian—a very remarkable but quite’ natural trans- formation. the United States will- now diminish for the conditions that made for this onyl on no longér operate. Under the neéw era the Russian Jews should shed thie characteristics which are largely due to repression, to exclu- sion from the. life of the nation. Em- braced in the nation, they will be moulded by the national genius . of the Russian people while retaining their own individyality. “Russia will find ‘now that her new-horn Jews are a tremendous as- set. Wherever the Jew has rpceived full \liberty, as in England -and the United States, he has proved himself an energetic, enterprising'and loyal citizen. ; In many. branches of in- dustey, ‘finance, law and medicine, he has excelled- “When I was in New York the tremendous zest for educational pro- gress even among the most illiterate of the Jews who had emigrated there, ‘was one of the many things that im- pressed me. I visited an extremely fine technical school, built by . the municipality of New York, one of the fihest ' institutions of ‘its kind I have ever seen, and there I was told that. & very large proportion of the pupils were children of the poorest Jewish parents who had come from “Jews in Russia have never been hostile to the people of Russia, but only to the despotic form of govern- ment there, and this hostility un- doubtedly played a great part in feeding the repugnance which demo- cratic America discovered for the Russian autocracy.” Turning to the opportunity. oponod up for the Jewish race in Palestine by the entrance of the British armies, Sir Alfred sald: ‘“Are the Jews suit- able for. the agricultural' life which fust be the basis of the development of this sun-enriched scil?. Reference to the Jewish agricultural colonies established in Palestine in recent yeéars gives an affirmative answer. These colonies have achieved remark- able results and seem to point to the survival of the old pastoral instinct of the Jews. “I consider that the Jew has a pe- culiar aptitude for arming. If Jews are found today mostly in non-agri- cultural pursuits it s because they Lave been prevented for centuries from qwning land, so of necessity they have congregated in the cities. I should like to see a much larger agricultural element among my people, for the physical results to the race would be very appreciable. “I have yet to be convinced that the foundation of an independent Jew- *“Jewish .‘mlmfion from Russia to’ .fi ish state in Palestine comes. the ‘domain of practical politics, b\lt 1 see no.reason why guarantees should not be given to the Jews there of the fullest liberty to manage their own local affairs and for the protection of the results, of their labor.” IN DR.

Economy Mayor Quigley this morning frank- 1y admitted that he 1s worried ‘about ‘) the finances of the future and de- clared that he is going even farther than the city meeting, which cut ‘the tax rate, a advise every depart- ment .and every board to practice the, strictest economy- Every additional expense eauled by this war, the mayor states, will have to be shared by the #tate, city and individuals.

Thus fortified and .with- his eye watchful 'for any com- mencement of activity by the distant German batteries, heé may walk and climb among the ruins or follow the debris-cluttered bank of the lovely Meuse, broad, green, calm, and in- different to solitude such as it has not known fop'a thousand years, The railn arfps through the shell- torn raof of the cathedral, pulping the Choir-scores and- the - missais tossed with the fallen imasonry about the floors making mud of the altar’s dust, rotting the canvas. th. fallen Plctures, rendering ail things squalid. i Close by is the theater, with fits brocaded galleries brimming over with 'wreckage, flauting rags, and re- vealitlg through the uncurtained stage all’ the shabby mysteries of its mechanism, all in wild donfustan. ‘Visitors-are rare in Verdun, but the town ‘holds out to them emphatically the freedom of the city, every door and window open and no human eye to watch. Along the river bank are the little restaurants and cafes, the floors strewn with cups and saucers, glasses ranged on ‘the counters, the open ledger on the cashiers’ desks in- viting the inspection of the curious. It ‘has beéery many months since the cus- tomers sat around these upturned tables or out on the terrace, and watched the green Meuse slide below the bridges on sunny afternoons, The little humble shops along the side streets are mare pathef than hopelessly out of date.
