On the case of Russia, I prefer not to dwell too long. The very body knows how there hundreds of thousands of Jews have been driven out at one hour's notice, sometimes less, from their Polish and Lithuanian homes; how tens of thousands of women, children, old men, valetudinarians and invalids have perished miserably on the roads; how millions of the Jewish population have been slandered wholesale as traitors and spies, although it was not a Jew, but a noble Russian colonel of the general staff, who, after due trial and sentence, was hanged for having sold his own soldiers to the Germans. I will not evoke these pictures of horror with details. These short allusions are sufficient, seeing that public opinion in the United States has been extensively informed about them from many sources.
Of all these things, the Jewish soldiers in the field do not think at present, but after the war they will find time to take a stand with regard to them, and behind the front their brothers in faith and race do it already. Each of the belligerent peoples promises itself, as the outcome of victory, territorial gain, enrichment, power, domination, fame. The Jewish people alone has nothing to expect for itself from the heroism of its sons, not even the acknowledgement of the fact that everywhere it has proved itself exemplarily state-supporting.
Hint, everywhere it has shown itself loyal and faithful unto death to its native country, even there where it always had been cruelly and abjectly persecuted. It accomplishes its prowess lost in a large majority of non-combatants.  (Jewish comrades, to whose credit all its virtues are booked.)
