are in a conspiracy to establish a
despotic rule over it has called forth
from the American Jewish Commit

These attacks on the Jews have re-
ceived circulation in many ways,
among which are by articles in sew
eral English papers. prominent
among which is the London Post, and
In this country Henry Ford's paper
has made severe attacks.
Charles F1eischer in a recent pub
lie address denounced Ford as a Jew
hater. declaring anti-semitism. a
mental disease, and said because he
hated one Jew Ford is denouncing
them all and giving circula ton to vile
irresponsible ISLANDERS.
The number of Jews connected
with the inception Of bolshevisnf, or
supposed to be connected with it,
has caused comment. That there
was any world wide plot among the
Jews to upset civilization is absurd
and such of the bolshevistic Jews as
may have hoped to contribute to such
an undertaking must be pretty we'll

with it's estimates figures showing
that each year the national parks re-

form of revenues a large dividend on
the investment. These revenues in

parks that year while the revenues
this year are expected to amount to
40 percent of the years cost. The
suggestion is added that. should the

Had President Wilson been better

paid to one T. K. Sands, at one time

him pay me, under no circumstances
