iect. Whence come these pretended
Protocols? There have been various
versions. One Serge Nilus. OF whose
identity little is known, a Russian
mystic and an ardent supporter OF
czarlsm, claims 10 have received Them
in Russia in 1901, In manuscript form,
from Russian 0fllceholder, who
slated that the manuscript had been
originally obtained by a lady, whose
name is not given. and who, he said,
obtained Them In mysterious way.
In what language they were written
Is not slated. Where that manuscript
now Is does not appear. Nilus asserts
that he submitted the Protocols TO
one Of The RussOn Grand Dukes, who,
after examination. returned them
with the despalring message. Too
late" Apparently there was no room
for them In The Russian arch ives, and
they suggested no task for The Cars
ubiquitous police TO perform In 1900,
Nilus published al rsarskOie Selo a
second edition Of 4. mystical book en-
titled "Ihe Great In the Little" the
FIRST edition having been publ sh In
1901. Into this later edition he lncOr-
porated for the first time the PrOiO-
coils. which he ella med 10 have had In
his possession for four years. In jan
uary. 1917, he published another book
under the title 1T Is Near, at The
Door," purportlng TO foretell "the
coming Of the Antl-Ohrisi and the
Kingdom OF the Devil on Earth" In
this book he announces M az he had
only then learned aulhorilatlvcly from
Jewish sources what they were Is
not explained that these Protocols
were nothing other than a strategic
plan for the conQues. Of lhe world,
OF putting 10 under the yoke OF Israel.
The struggler-againsi- plan
worked out by ihe leaders OF ihe
Jewish people during the many CEN
turics OF their Dispersion. and finally
presented 10 the Council OF Elders by
the Prince OF Exile Theodor Herzl,
at the time Of the first Zionist Con
gress summoned by him at Basle In
August, 1897. He declared that the
Protocols were signed by The Zionist
representatives OF the thirty-ihird
degree OF initiation; that they were
secretly removed from the complete
Ole OF Protocols that perlalned 10 the
FIRST Zionist Congress- that they wire
taken from the secret vaults al the
main Zionist Office, which. lt is said,
'at present is located in French barri-
tory"
The Protocols as published bear
no signatures. The Identity OF the
Zionist representatives by whom ih ey
are claimed 10 have been signed Is
left untold The location Of the main
Zionist oflce and OF the secret vaults
from which the Protocols were Sc
cretly removed remain a secret. II Is.
