WHY JEWS SHOULD
FIGHT FOR THE CAR

the second, third and fourth stories.
They would take a poor, innocent,
six-months-old baby, who could not
possibly have done any harm i this
world, and throw it down onto the
pavement. You can imagine it could
not live after it struck the ground,
but this did not satisfy the stony
hearted murderers. They then rush
ed up to the child, seized it, and
broke its little arms and leg bones
into three or four pieces, then wrung
its neck, too.
They laughed and yelled, so car
ried away with pleasure at their sue
cessful work.
II was not enough for them TO cut
out an old mans tongue, and to cut
Off his nose, but they drove nails into
the eyes also.
| remember what happened to my
own classmates. There were two
who came from a small town to
Odessa to become midwives. These
girls ran to the school TO hide them
selves, as it was a government
school, and they knew the Holiganes
(m%urderers) would not dare to come
in there. But the dean of the school
had ordered they should not be adj
mitted, because they were Jewish, as
if they had different blood running
in their veins. So when they came,
the Waterman refused to open the
doors, according to his instructions.
The crowd Of Holiganes found them
outside the doors of the hospital.
They abused them right there il the
middle of the street. One was eight
cen years old and the other was
twenty. One died after the opera
ton, and the other went insane from
shame.
The Jews were helped by the Wig
i~lantes, too, who brought them arms.
The vigilantes were composed of
students at the university, and high
school boys, and also the strongest
man from each Jewish family. There
were a good many Gentiles among
the students who belonged to the
~yigilantes because they wanted JUS
tice. SO on the second day the vigil
antes stood before the doors and
gave resistance to the murderers.
Some will ask where were the SOL
diers and police. They were sent to
protect, but on arriving, joined in
with the murderers.
When the vigilantes took their
stations, the scene was like a battle
field. Bullets were flying from both
sides Of the red cross carriages. We
expected to be killed any minute, but,
notwithstanding, we rushed wher-
ever there we're shots heard, in order
to carry away the wounded. When
ever we arrived we shouted "Red
cross, red cross" in order to help
make them realize we were not Wig
i~lantes. Then they would stop and
let us pick up the wounded. They
did this on account of their own
wounded.
It is an established fact that the
massacre was produced by the gov
eminent. The march of the little
children, so i%nnocently heading the
procession which ended in the bloody
carnival, was only part Of a we'll
laid plot. The business of the u
try was in a bad condition after the
Russo-Japanese war. The people
were uprising against the taxes. In
order to detract blame from itself
and to blind the peoples eys as to
the real cause Of the trouble, the
government represented that the Jews
had caused the war by lend
ing money TO Japan. They
also claimed that the Jews wished to
overthrow the government. By this
means the government clouded the
iasue, but still was in need of money.
This money was furnished by Ameri-
can capitalists.
