Whence come these pretended Protocols? There have been various versions. One Serge Nilus, of whose identity little is known, a Russian mystic and an ardent supporter of Czarism, claims to have received them in Eussis, in 1902, In manuscript form, from a Russian officeholder, who stated that the manuscript had been originally obtained "by a lady, whose name is not given, and who, he said, obtained them in a mysterious way. In what language they were written is not stated.

Where that manuscript now is. does not appear. Nilus asserts that he submitted The Protocols to one of ike Russian Grand Dukes, who, after examination, returned them with the despairing message: "Too late." Apparently there waa no room for them in the Russian archives, and they suggested no task for the Czar's ubiquitous police t o perform. In 1905, Nilus published at Tsarskoje Selo a second edition of a mystical book entitled "The Great in the Little," the first edition having been published in 1901. a government which only a few Reply To Attacks years later, against the protest of the enlightened clergy of the world, ineffectually sought to convict MenAgainst The Jew del Beilis on the charge- of ritual

In ary, 1917, he published another Tinder the title "It is Near, at ^ w lo'or," purporting _ to ' foretell '•the jming of the Anti-Christ and the Ehgdom of the Devil on Earth."

In this book he announces. that he h.1 only then learned authoritativelj from Jewish sources (what {keywere is not explained) that thesiProtocoTs were nothing other ^ strategic plan for the conof the world, of putting it que the yoke of Israel, "the str ier-agamst-God," a plan worktdftTby the leaders of the'Jewish during the. many centuries of dispersion, and finally presentthe Council of-Elders by the of Exile, Theodore Herzl, at _ae of the first Zionist Consummoned by him at Basle in | s t , 1897.

The Protocols as published bear signatures. The identity of the onist representatives by whom they e claimed io have been signed; is.

L" Theodore Herzl was a distingtrish<ed journalist, a man of true nobility of character. He presided at the Congress, all of whose deliberations were held in the light of day.

The insinuation that there was a thirty-third, «r any other, degree ol initiation ' in this, organization is jnerely a malicious effort to bring the Jews into, parallelism with the JFreemasons and thus to subject them • to I all the fanciful and fantastic : charges that have from time to time been laid at the door of FreemasonHry, oblivious of the fact that fifteen Presidents of the United States, including Washington, and many of 'the leading statesmen of Europe and ;America, have been members of that order. .

Nilus and his associates l>elonged 'to the Russian bureaucracy. In 1905, through the Black Hundreds, that, body sought in every way to crash •the Jews and to prevent the Iiberal^ a t i o n of the government.

In his veins, waa.v the creator as he has been the motive power of the Soviets. Tchicherin, who has conducted their foreign affairs, Bucharin, Krassin and Kalinin, all nonJews, are, with Lenine, the brains of the Communist Party.

The Bolshevist cabinet, known as the People's Commissars, consists of twenty members, of whom Trotsky and Sverdlov are the only Jews, and they are Jews merely by birth. Of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, including Trotsky, there are four Jews out of thirteen.

The so-called Extraordinary Commission, whose function it is to suppress opposition' to the Bolshevist regime from within, is directed by a triumvirate consisting'"of a Pole and two Letts, one of whom is of Jewish origin. Although Trotsky is the head of the War Department, his General Staff is composed exclusively of non-Jews.

Jews are Not Bolshevists "In "The Cause of World Unrest" a list of fifty names is given, most of whom are classified as Jews and Bolshevists, in order to establish the thesis that "nearly all of the Bolshevist leaders are Jews." An examination of the list shows that ten of the Jews included in the list are

the leaders of the anti-Bolshevist movement in Russia; that a number of those who. are classified as Jews are men who are so -obscure and hold positions so inconspicious that whether or not they are Jews is not only uncertain but unimportant. They are certainly not leaders.

On the other hand, the leaders of the Mensheviki, who are the sworn foes of Bolshevism, are to a large extent Jews. Among the chiefs of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Russia, w,ho are strongly, opposed to the Soviets, are Vinaver, Sliosberg, Pasmanik, Kaminka, Landau and Friedman, all prominent Jews.

Among the leaders of the Peoples Socialist, the Socialist Revolutionary, and the Menshivik section of the Social Democratic parties, bitter opponents of the Bolsheviks,l are a large number of Jews.

The leading anti-Bolshevist newspapers, which of necessity are published outside of Russia, have Jews upon their editorial staffs. An overwhelming majority of Russian Jews have been ruined by the coercive measures of the Soviets. They have submitted to the confiscation of their property and are undergoing unspeakable hardships.
