was taken up in this country by Henry Ford,
in his paper the Dearborn Independent.
The signers of the statement denounced
these publications as libelous and stigma
tized the Protocols as base forgery The
charge that the Jews are responsible for
Bolshevism is termed deliberate falsehood,
as the originators Of Bolshevism were ex-
clusively non-Jews. It is admitted that
there are Jews among the Bolshevists, not
ably Trotzky, but it is claimed that they
represent small fraction of the Jews and
of the followers of Bolshevism. The state
ment concluded as follows
"1he Bolshevist Cabinet, known as the
Peoples Commissars, consists Of twenty
members, of whom Trotzky and Sverdlov are
the only Jews and they are Jews merely by
BIRTH Of the central committee of the Com
munist party, including Trotzky, there are
four Jews out of thirteen. Although Trotzky
is the head of the War Department. his
general staff is composed exclusively Of non
Jews
con the other hand the leaders of the
Mensheviki who are sworn foes Of Boshe
vism are to a large extent Jews -
Among the signers Of this statement were
such well-known leaders in business and
philanthropy as Julius Rosenwald, Julian
W. Mack Nathan Straus and Others
It seems more than mere coincidence
that The Age for the past few weeks has
been receiving a series Of unsigned articles
claiming that the colored man Of today is
ruled almost entirely by the influence Of the
Jews. and that this influence is so welded
as to keep up the color line and under the
grlise of friendship foster the sentiments of
racial hatred and revenge. 1t is also al
legged in one of these articles that the Jews
controlled the machinery of the secret orders
or societies, such as the Free Masons Elks,
Odd Flows, Knights of Pythias and others
to the end Of emphasizing the color line
and preventing the admission of colored men

In her book of "reminiscences, "Crowding
Memories" Mrs. Thomas Bailey Aldrich
tells an amusing story about her husband.
Mr. Aldrich was to be present at the open
ing night in Boston Of his play, Mercedes"
At the last moment he discovered to his
horror (and even more to the horror of
his wife) that the necessary black trousers
were missing
The only trousers available were those
of 'pepper-and.salt'' lounging suit, and
the only plan that seemed practical was for
Mr.. Aldrich to go to the theater with his
pepper-and.salt trousers combined with the
upper half Of an evening suit. He decided
to sit at the back of a box behind a screen
Of wraps which effectively hid the detection
Of the conventional evening makeup.
When, at the end of the play, the cur.
tain was rung up and there were loud cries
of "Author! Author!' Mr.. Aldrich could
only bow in ignominy behind his screen.
The next mornings newspapers, in criti.
cism and editorials, said: 1T was much to
be regretted that Mr.. Aldrich had not spon-
taneously yielded to the fattering request
to come before the curtain, instead of coldly
bowling, at the back of stage box"

ODD FELLOWS

No wonder the trustees had to buy more chairs, when we have such a crowd at the meetings they have to stand up. This was very thoughtful of them and we surely thank them.
 First degree night brings out the members, as they enjoy seeing the beautiful work that is being exempli- fled by Captain Hargraye and the de- gree staff. Large delegations were present from Tempe, Glendale, Mesa and Chandler bringing their candidates for this degree. The work of the de- gree staff is highly praised by the vis- iting brothers as well as by Brothers Barnes and Mason who were much i'm pressed with the lessons they are learning in Odd Fellowship.
 The second degree will be conferred at this meeting.
 We especially want to call your at tention to the first Thursday evening in October, when every Odd Fellow in the valley will journey to Glendale for a big celebration. Phoenix degree staff will confer the initiatory cere- mony and there will be a large delega- tion from every lodge in the valley.
 Arrangements will be made by Cap tain Hargrave and special cars will leave the car barns at 6:30 D. m. It is a special request that every member go via the street cars. Bring every thing you have to make noise. The Jazz band will be with us, also liar graves goat. We understand that Brother Pete is a full fledged Rebekah. Go to it Pete. and our best wishes go

PHILADELPHIA, Feo. .l.-Adniral
William S. Sims, orator at the University
day exercises at the University of PenIisyl-
vania, today to celebrate the birthday of
George Washington, drew lessons from the
career Of the first President and criticized
the tendency of Americans to resent ad-
verse comment upon the military UMPIRE
paredness of the United States.
THE missing element in Americanism
said the Admiral is that it does not in
cludc adequate solicitude for our safety
The government and to certain extent
our people, resent criticism OF anything
American This is a dangerous attitude
that has. cost us many thousands of lives
and many millions in treasure.
