DUKE 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." risner isher Wall Paper Company F WHAT I PREACH Grand 6944 87 Brady St. Con assemblies, and certified to by the proper staff.
