No Invasion Apparent.
After considering the title of the ar
ticle and finding no justification FOR
I the same. we naturally read II more
carefully, we ask the reason for pub
fishing this report Of a Jewish in
vasiOn2
have Found no satisfactory reason
nor does the article justify itself. II
1t is to sound IN alarm then surely
/ sane men viii admit no alarm is nes-
essary when no invasion is apparent
: If it is TO call attention to conditions
needing consideration then we may
rightfully ask what new facts have
zen discovered TO make this neces-
sary. And If it is an educational ar
/ ticle then it should be more honest and
not give the world some half-truths
or magnify other facts into noun
/ tains when in truth they are but mole
( hills. Half-truthS are more danger
Gus than untruths; the latter can be
refuted or disprOve themselves; the
former wearing the mask Of truth con-

Remarkable Advance of Men.
@-mn
advance of men in all avenues of hui
man endeavOr yet with the hidden in
nuendO that this advance is made at
the expenses of the German, the Irish
and the native American. Who the
native Americans might be, and what
makes one native American, this ar
ticle does not disclose and I know
none unless they be the children Of
naturalized. American citizens and
such the Jews surely are.
In the first place the writer makes
the usual New York mistake in con-
siderinS New York, America and New
York conditions, American condi-

New York Jew. he is able TO take care

1t would take much more time than
IS at my disposal to answer al the
lnnuenSOes and half truths in this ar
ucle so / win simply outline some OBJ

In the flrst place-Why speak of the
Jew as shoe string capitalist ana
a ml0Qleman when he has created the
garment working industry Of Amer

praised who within 80 years have de-
veloped an industry from thirty mil

Praise or Blamee
Should the Jew be praised or blamed
because he stints himself that his
children might receive an education
and pass with credit civil service ex-
aminatiOns2
Should the jew be praised or blamed
If one-third Of the students at Colum-
bia college are Jews and three-fourths
in the college OF the city of New York
are Of the same faith? Is this a Jew
ish invasiOn2 IF so, the sooner the
Germans, the Irish. the English. the
French and the Italians enter upon a
similar invasion the better it win b.
for the nation. An educated electorate

Jews are Safe and sane.
