THE JEWS AND THE WAR.

The Jews of France have just published their denunciation of the, nameless outrages inflicted .upon the peaceable and industrious Israelites of Bulgaria, outrages which culminated m the -massacre of half the Jewish population m severallocalities. ' The horrifying details are still but

partially known m the West. In Germany, on the other hand, where so many of the foremost organs of opinion are; owned by Jews, the. whole horrid .story has Veen published far and wide, and there is certainly not a Hebrew household m the fatherland which is not conversant with the miseries of the fifteen thousand Jewish fugitives from the Cossacks and Bulgarians of General Gkmrko who have arrived plundered and starving at Adrianople. Only very recently the " Koelnische Zeiturig," writing on the contrast between the behaviour of the Turkish troops m Servia last , year and the Russian invaders of Bulgaria now, was enabled, to say that the comparison was entirely in'the favour of the Qsmanli. "Where was the single proof that one Servian woman had been Xiri sujted by soldier, that one Servian womanhad suffered by ay sa^r© stroke ? On the other handji must no^ bur very Jhajr stand on, end at the horrors perpetrated byr Eussia rin the present war; Not even ? the sucking babe at the mother^s breast, not even the feebleness of tottering old age, has been spared.
