IN THE CLOUDS
BY D'OR
(Translated from the Russian)
F course, the first strike of avi-
ators took place at Petrograd.
And suddenly everybody got wise
and exclaimed :
"But they are Jews !"
"Who ?"
"All of them ! The aviators, the
aviatresses and even the aero-
planes!"
"What ?.. Even the aeroplanes?"
"Certainly, they too. Just look
closely at a Wright machine. Its
tail looks like the skirts of a Jewish
caftan."
Everybody sighed and moaned.
Popvo was immediately told that
his services as instructor were no
longer required on account of his
criminal friendship with the Jew
named Wright Biplane.
"I knew since long that the avi-
ators are Jews !" declared the editor
of the Novoye Vremya. "I at-
O
EQUALITY FOR THE JEW
(Continued from pate /)
This requires previous work and
organization. It requires an insight
into the condition of Jews through-
out the world from an economic, as
well as diplomatic, point of view,
and in the strength of such knowl-
edge to riarticipate in negotiations
following the conclusion of the war.
It is cowardly to be afraid. Our
people have been cringing too long
—always afraid—afraid of conse-
quences.
What could be worse than the
treatment they have received for
centuries—and for the last fifty
years worse than ever?
The end of this shameful war,
which, demonstrates forever the fu-
tility of nationally organized mur-
der, will leave men with chastened
spirits and open minds.
The nations of Europe are able
now to realize from bitter experi-
ence what our co-religionists have
suffered through the ages in the
lands of despotism and superstition.
In every European home a beloved
face is missing. They can appreci-
ate now the life that has been 'led
by these, who never knew safety,
and they will listen, because they
must listen.
The day of brute' force will have
gone by with this war. The' days
of "Might Makes Right" are to
make way for a better day, in which
Right will conquer ,Might, and jus-
tice be the law.
As we pray and hope for early
peace—let us be prepared to pro-
cure for our brethren a share of its
blessings ; so that our bible prophecy
will be realized that "Oat of Zion
shall go forth the Law and the
Word of the Lord from Jerusa•
lem."
