and , on the other hand , from an inconclusive peace forced upon both Russia and Roumania by a Germany that not only has failed to win the war , but that has gone down in disastrous de¬ feat in the great battle -field events which have stirred the world since the 18th of July , and who , at this writing , famine -stricken and in the throes of revolution , is a suppliant for mercy at the hands of the victorious Allies . By the ar¬ mistice terms submitted to by Germany on November n , the " Peace " treaties of both Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest have already become null and void , so that the position of the Jews of the above -mentioned countries will presently again become materially changed . All this goes to show how difficult is the task of the writer of present -day history , since what is a fact to -day may become an untruth to -morrow , and prog¬ nostication is at best but idle speculation.The author herewith expresses his thanks to Mr . Alexander Plarkavy and Mr . Abraham S. Freidus , of New York , for many helpful suggestions .and to his sister , Mrs .
