A unique historic document, wor-
thy of a conspicuous place in both
Russian and Jewish history, was
placed before the Zionist convention
in Russia when the chairman, Dr.
Yechiel Tchlenow, read the full text
of the military order of the day is-
sued and signed by General Alexieff,
commander in chief of the western
front, permitting the Jewish soldiers
to elect from their number delegates
to the convention, and furnishing
passes and transportation to the dele-
gates to facilitate their presence at the
gathering.
The translation given herewith was
made by the publicity department of
the Zionist organizations of America.
It is as follows:
In accordance with the representa-
tion of the Minsk Zionist organization
of May 19, received on May 20, the
commander-in-chief, by a decision of
May 21, has permitted the Jewish-
Zionist soldiers of the army and of
the rear guard of the western front
to participate in the Russian Zionist
convention, which is to begin in Pet-
rograd on May 24 at the building of
the publishers, Vostok, Torgovaya
street, 11, through elected representa-
tives, one for each division, or other
corresponding units. The elections
front each division arc divided into two
sections: from each company, the Jew-
ish Zionist Soldiers elect one elector;
the electors gather at the general staff
of the division and elect from their
midst one delegate to the Convention.
In accordance with the above de-
scribed plan, delegates should he
elected at once. From units which do
not form a part of the division ac-
cording to this order, the election
must take place with the co-operation
of the existing committees, whereby
the representation shall not be higher
than one for every full 15,000 persons.
In the garrisons of the rear of the
line, Polotzk, Minsk, Mozir, one for
every 15,000 should be elected by the
general assemblage of all Jewish
Zionist soldiers of any given garrison.
For this purpose, in accordance with
the above order of the Commander-
in-Chief, the garrison commanders are
to communicate with the executive
committees of the local councils of
workingmen soldiers' deputies, and in
Minsk with the commandant of that
fortress.
The chosen electors and delegates
should be furnished with written cre-
dentials by the Presidium of the elec-
I NEVER DISAPPOINT AND PRACTICE
The spokesman of the soldier-
delegates read the following resolu-
tion which had been adopted by his
colleagues:
"We, Jewish soldier-delegates from
the army, who participate in this
convention, avow to the convention
and to the Jewish people:
"Hundreds and thousands of Jews
are in battle in the Russian Army. In
a time of outlawry and terrible perse-
cution, under the burden of false ac-
cusation, the Jewish soldiers fulfilled
their full military duty': In the ocean
of blood poured out by the heroic
Russian Army there is no little of
Jewish blood.
"Now, having become free citizens
of Russia, and fully privileged mem-
bers of the Army, the Jewish soldiers
will continue their efforts in a new
spirit of enthusiasm. Beli.wing that
the strengthening of the revolution
and the strengthening of the peoples
in Russia can be accomplished only
through the union of all the peoples
and by a strong discipline in the free
army, the Jewish soldiers declare tri-
umphantly that they are prepared to
follow the call of the revolutionary
democracy to defend Russia against
her enemies.
"Jewish soldiers, true to this dec-
laration, will support the Provisional
Government, and with the greatest
devotion and faith, will follow the be-
loved leader of the people, the War
Minister Kerensky. We strongly pro-
test against those who are attempting
to bring confusion and disorder into
the army.
"We believe that the Russian
democracy, which has assumed the
task of freeing all the peoples of the
world, will understand the strivings
of our people, and will support Jewry
in its effort to create a national cen-
ter for the Jewish people, on its his-
toric soil, Palestine."
