A merica 'elfish Periodical Cotter CLIFTON AVENUE • CINCINNATI 20, OHIO PAGE SEVEN 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. —American Israelite. 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.

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. trj - Aiti :o11111,40 - r. righting ships of all descriptions are being built rapidly and the 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 to build these ships.and the nation Is now looking to her to doter share in raising the needed Manpower.
