They conform outwardly to the demands of the Bolshe-
vik zealots who would annihilate all religion at one
stroke, but secretly many of them are carrying on the
ancient practices of their faith.
But Russia of today is not the land of the auto-da-fe,
the rack and thumb screw. Russia learns with almost
incredible speed that the methods of the inquisition
are really not efficient nor are they calculated to make
men change profound convictions. The Russian Mar-
rano is but a passing phase in the land which has made
famous the phrase "transition stage." This necessity
for taking in the Marmito color is only a transition
stage in Russian Jewish life.

determination of the French
A government to begin on Devil's
Island a series of colonization pro-
jeers and thus erase the unsavory
history which has attached to the
island in consequence of the practice
of sending to it the most grievous of-
fenders possesses peculiar interest for
Jews. For Devil'a Island conjures
up a by no means remote chapter in
Jewish history, not only in France but
throughout the world. The banish-
went of Captain Alfred Dreyfus, af-
ter a striking demonstration of bigot-
ry and corruption in high political
circles, was not merely that of an
individual. The while that Dreyfus
languished in his prison house on
Devil's Island, the honor of the Jew-
ish people
was in a state of suffering'
{
and degradation. For in the cabal
which resulted in the French Jewish
soldier's conviction and disgrace there
was brought into play every element
in French society which hated the
Jews both because they were the con-
venient objects of the inbred passion
and because the Jew, consciously and
otherwise, typifies progress and the
political reasonableness which seeks
expression in freedom and oppor-
tunity.
The conversion of Devil's Island
into a scene of peaceful labor no
doubt marks another step in the di-
rection of enlightened action on the
part of the Berried administration.
We should not be surprised to learn
that some Jewish committee or other
interested in the refugee problem
would suggest that Devil's Island be
considered as a possible place where
Jews might live and work.
