The Jews of Soviet Russia
By MAJOR•GENERAL (Retired) BARON VON SCHOENAICH
(Copyright, 1925, by Jewish Telegraphic Agency.)
(Editor's Note:—The author, a doctor by honorary degree and
erstwhile Prussian Minister of War, has just returned from a Rus-

article on the present situation of the Jews in Russia.)

was for a few days commanding of-! '
fiver of a troop stationed in the vil-
lage of Kirsnawjelka, between Kal-
varia and Mariampol. Among the
local peasants, there were a number
of Jews whose forbears had been
tilling the same soil for several hun-
dred years. Their efficiency as peas-
ants and their ancient rural status
were unquystionable. I inquired
among the non-Jewish peasants about
these Jews and their ways. They
were well spoken of and in very good
repute with their non-Jewish neigh-
bors. On the last day of my stay,
the village was shot to pieces by Rus-
sian artillery. The entire population
took refuge in the only stone build-,
ing of the place and I noticed that'
the Jewish peasants were more re-
markable than the others for their
p resence of mind .

an autonomous Jewish republic. I
