THE JEWISH CHRONICLE
DETHRONEMENT OF CZAR A MIS- MANY VISITORS AT MT. CLEM-
FORTUNE, SAYS AMERICAN
ENS.
ISRAELITE.
Thinking men are gradually coming
to the conclusion that the dethrone-
ment of the Czar was a misfortune for
the Russians and the world. Usually a
country ha.s the government it needs
and for which its people are fit. From
present appearances, it would seem that
the Russian people are utterly unfit for
se lf-government. The wildest extrav-
agances of the French Revolution seem
coldly reasonable when compared with
the lunacies of the Bolsheviki and other
sections of the Russian nation. Russia
i s tit guiltless of a share in bringing
about this terrible war. True. it was
due to Germany's plottings that this
calamity came, but Russia furnished
the pretext by her assumption of
hegemony in the Balkans. Her treach-
erous desertion of her allies and her
traitorous deal with Germany have put
Russia outside of the pale of civilized
nations and she should be dealt o ith
regardless of her desires. If it would
he to the advantage of the allies to lhive
Japan interfere in Russia, and if such
a step would prevent the Huns from
utilizing the agricultural and mineral
resources and perhaps the man-power
of that country, the Mikado 's govern-
ment should be given a free hand, even
though it would he necessary to give
Siberian territory in compensation.
This, of course, might be a dangerous
step to take, as it might lead to an
active alliance between the Bolsheviki
and the Huns, but it is a question
whether this would be of much greater
advantage to the Central Powers than
the cur-like submission which today
allows Germany a free hand in the
greater that of 1i hat was (awe the
Russian Empire.' To an unprejudiced
observer it would seem that back of the
great reluctance displayed by the allied
governments to avail themselves to a
greater extent of the help of the splen-
did Japanese army and navy is some
strong motive that is not apparent. We.
know that the diplomatic and military
mistakes of the allies have been griev-
ous and numerous and late' has
too often been the verdict of their
own statesmen. It is therefore to be
hoped that this epithet will not have to
be applied to the dealing with Russia
when something definite is finally done.

THE SUCCFSS OF A
MOTOR CAR DEALER
One of the hest known and most
popular automobile men in Detroit is
W. D. Block, President of the \V. D.
Block Motor Co., of 1225 Woodward
ave. His recent success is a roost re-
markable one but is consistent with
his extraordinary ability as a business
executive and possession of a wide
technical and administrative knowledge,
of the motor car field. NIr. lflocIf lot - {

Mt. Clemens, Mich.—This resort
town is enjoying the greatest activity
of its history. While the local waters
drew a large patronage from all over
the country before the war, the closing
of the European bathing centers and
the recent U-boat scare off the .bmer-
ican coast has given NIL Clemens au
emelt wider drawing power. Hotel reg-
isters show prominent guests from
every large city in this country and
Canada.
The two fine motoring roads to De-
troit are an excellent card, and the St.
Clair Flat, are another source of reef,

The Lake Shore Drive brings
many Detroiters to the Bath City daily.
while the Gratiot route is one steady
string of cars. The Bath City has many
pretty parks.
Selfridge field has proved as much
of all attraction as was expected and
the planes which sail over the city daily
are a source of much interest to the
guests.
Richard F. Hemline, milli:ay director
for the Bath City, believes that the
health resort business will he even bet-
ter after the war.

Our country, its allies and its enemies realized that victory for jus

The latest reports show a surplus and
undivided profits to the extent of
$100,000.
Mr. Block has received a thorough
schooling in the automobile trade. He
was for a number of years an official
in the General !doors Co. and served
as comptroller lime the Carter Car Co.,
of Pontiac. His widespread personal
success is due to his congenial man-
ner of dealing with the buying public.
He has done much to break down that
almost impenetrable barrier artificially
set up between buyer and seller. He
was able to do this public service
mainly by reason of the fact that he
had the privilege of offering the pub-
lic such proven product, of the motor
industry as the Nlarmon and the Oak-
land. \I r. Block selected these two
makes of machines because of their
incomparable features 'of roadability,
design, easy riding, and minimum up-
keep. That he made no mistake in his
selection is evidenced by the great in-
crease in the sales of these cars through
his company during the past year when
motor buying was of the highest stand-
ards of discrimination.

Navy will be able to handle the situation in true American style,
provided there are enough trained sailors to man these ships as
they are launched, Michigan has done nobly in raising money

share in raising the needed Manpower.
