It reassured the Russian people about the soundness of their economic conditions, warning them to give no heed to the insidious calumnies of the jealous German and Aus- trian neighbors. Blioch was one of the founders of the agricultural credit institutes which rendered so great a service to the peasant class of Russia. In the history of civilization Blioch will forever live as the au- thor of the famous six-volume work, "The War of the Future" (1898), which has been translated into German, French and English. It is this book which is said to have inspired ex-Czar Nicholas II to issue his historic peace edict which resulted in the Hague con- ference of 1899. The author showed 16 years before the outbreak of the present war that the destructive power of modern warfare and the radical dislocation of the economic and political fabric of society pro- duced by world-war are certain to represent such a calamity for the nations involved therein that even the greatest military successes would not compensate the victor for the desolation and ensuing bankruptcy. Although, for political and so- cial reasons, Blioch early in his life embraced Calvinism, he started his last will with the words: "I was my whole life a Jew and I die as a Jew." There were thousands and thou- sands of Russian Marranos—i. e., crypto-Jews, in pre-revolutionary Russia, who, as their brethren un- der the Spanish inquisition, se- cretly lived as Jews and were as such considered by their own co- religionists, but were outwardly forced to wear the mask of the holy synod. This time seems hap- pily to be over. Church and state will in all probability be separated in the Russian republic of the fu- ture. The Jewish "intellegenzia" will no longer be forced to recur to the universities of Switzerland and France and the Haffkines will be given a chance to place their talent at the service of their own fatherland. A Great Bacteriologist. There is a great jump from the sculptor's atelier and the concert 'hall to the laboratory of the physi- ologist, but Waldemar Mordecai Haffkine's researches at the zoolog- ical museum of the university of his native town, Odessa, are as in- teresting as the statues of Antok- olski and the oratorios of Rubin- stein.

Of the many odd happenings during the course of the war, perhaps the odd- est and most difficult to believe, although it is vouched for by the Associated Press, is suspension of business by the moving picture theater in Beer Sheba because of the "pernicious" activity of the British airplane fleet operating in Palestine. The "movie" bears the pretentious name of "Hotel Abraham,". its proprie- tor being inspired by a desire, no doubt, to commemorate. an event in local history. and has specialized in war pictures. The tall masts of a wireless station tower high over this oasis in the borders of the Sinai desert, and the "movie" has not lacked patronage, Beer Sheba enjoying greater prosperity, because of the war, than ever before in its history. British airmen have been making nightly raids upon Abraham's ancient country seat, and the authorities decided that this movie paradise made a shining target which was of great help in placing suc- cessful hits. They therefore ordered the place closed, and thus, with one stroke of the pen, deprived the "bohe- mia" of Beer Sheba of its "great white way."
