(Editor's Note:—The author, a doctor by honorary degree and erstwhile Prussian Minister of War, has just returned from a Rus- sian tour. Immediately upon his return he has written the following article on the present situation of the Jews in Russia.) DETROIT SAFE CO. 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 .
