KRETE OLD RUSSIAN GROUND.
a Mistake or Two That Scholars
May Well Steer Clear OF.

Among the inyeterate errors of the great
est scholars none is more to be avoided by
truth-Seekers than the idea that the Phoeni-
clans were Semites. If the white people
of the United States We're 70 gradually be
worn out and moved away and the mu-
Iattoes and negroes left. and the scientists
of the future were to say that the missing
race was of negro origin 1t would be Just
what they 10 now when they call PhOeni-
clans Semites. The Jews are to the Phoeni-
clans as the mulattoes. quadroons and oc-
toroons are to the whites. and for the same
reason. to wit: that they were Phoenician
slaves. The Phoenicians We're white or
Aryan people of Babylonian origin. and
Babylon got its civilization from Slavic
source. according to the great scholar
Gesenius. In short, the Phoenicians were
a far-away Russian race The key word
to the riddle OF the Phoeniciaus is the name
by which they called their cities-speIIed
without the vowels. as krt- 1t is in Kar-
tago. and in Kreta, Carthage and Crete
Andi is the same word as Russian GorOd
All Russia was known TO the Northmen as
Garda-riki. The word is essentially the
same as our words court. guard, yard and
Old word garth. The CORD, or gorod, was
at first a wooden stockade that the Aryans
built against the riding Tartars from the
East, who for centuries pestered them, as
did their kin. the red Indians, our Western
settlers. Russia is the first Aryan pow
er that has at last and for good and all
turned the Mongolian tide backward.
DR.. Movers, the great authority on the
Phoenicians, speaks of "Gortyna, the old
est capital OF the island From this cap
ital, it may be, the name Crete was given
to the whole island. The so-called Pelas-
Cians were in those waters ahead of any
body else. so the historians tells US. But
the word tells the story that the Pelasgians
were Russians If we know how to read it
1t is no doubt akin to the whole set of
Celtic words: iasg, pysg, uisg, esk, which
by the system of diphthOngal vowels is
icsk, same as iasg; and the Morse words
piska, to switch or whisk, and fisk, fish.
These words mean either water or fish,
and perhaps go back TO common root.
The Pelasgians were sea-faring and fish
eating Celtic folk by the proofs of word
lore. Celt is from Russian Xoltu, spoken
about as Zholtee, and meant yellow, re
ferring to the hair. TaCitus said of the
British Celts that their language belonged
in what is now the Russian country, at
the east OF the Baltic. Grimm, whose great
ness and usefulness as g phiIologist, " a.
greatly obscured and crippled by his hatred
of the Russians, made up the fairy tale Of
Celts going from Britain back to that part
OF Russia; just few of them, not enough
to amount to anything; but just enough to
account for the findiugof the Kettle tongue
there.
1t is to the Slavs that We owe it that the
Turks are not masters of Europe today,
and if ever that blot and ulcer On the fair
face of the earth is wiped off or cured we
shall owe it to the brave, ar-headed and
persistent SIav. 1t is said that Russia is
hacking Greece in Crete. This was told
in our papers before it could possibly be
known to be true, and is n sample Of the
vast stock Of ready made lies about Rus
sia that are always kept on hand in Eng
land and in England's American annex
