...night calm and cloudless, last week, Death hovered over the Soviet Socialist Republic of Armenia.* To the west Mount Ararat slumbered. To the east peasants watched their flocks in the valley of Araxes, allegedly the valley created "Eden" by Jehovah. Suddenly the earth's crust moved, opened a thousand cracks and fissures throughout the great plain of Alexandropol (now Leninakan). Whirling seething earth-masses hurtled and reeled. With a roar like that of thunder, many of the stone buildings of Leninakan crashed in ruins. All electric, gas, telephone and telegraph equipment were thrown out of commission. When communication...

But each bore the face of Tikhon. The old priest smiled: "Donskoi was before the Romanovs, and after Zinoviev will be Donskoi...
...home of the Jews as the land promised by Jehovah to the children of Israel; home of the Christians as the scenes of the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. *Since Palestine is mandated by the League of Nations, British policy there is tacitly a League policy. ?In general, Zionism is a political movement to repopulate Palestine with Jews. It achieved its greatest significance?before the Balfour Declaration?under the brilliant leadership of Dr. Theodor Herzl (1860-1904), a Hungarian Jew. Dr. Herzl negotiated fruitlessly with the Porte (Turkey) for a Palestine charter. He tried Britain...
