they were secretly removed from the complete file of protocols that per tained to the first Zionist congress, that they were taken from the se- cret vaults at the main Zionist of flee, which, it is said, tat present is located in French territory
 Pro ocols Anonymous.
 The protocols as published bear no signatures. The identity of the Zionist representatives by whom they are claimed to have been signed, is left untold. The location of the main Zionist office and of the secret vaults from which the protocols were It is, however, a matter of history that the first Zionist congress was publicly held by Jews who came from various parts of Europe for the pur- pose of considering the misery of their brethren in eastern Europe and of enabling them to find shelter in the Holy Land. Theodore Herzl was a distinguished journalist, a man of true nobility of character. He pre- sided at the congress. all of whose deliberations were held in the light of day.
 Malicious Parallel
 The insinuation that there was a thirty-third, or any other, degree Of initiation in this organization is mere ly malicious effort to bring the Jews into paraIlelism with the Free masons and thus to, subject them to all the fanatical and fantastic charges that have from time to time been laid at the door of Freemasonry, oblivious of the United States. including Wash ington, and many of the leading statesmen of Europe and America, have been members of that order.

 BeiIis' Prosecutor Implicated.
 The time was propitious for the perpetration of a political forgery by a government that habitually resort ed to the employment of agents pro- vocateurs, a government which only a few years later, against the pro- test of the enlightened clergy of the world, Intellectually sought to con vict Mendel Beilis on the charge of ritual murder. It is significant that one of his prosecutors has been ac- tive in distributing manuscript cop ies of the protocols throughout the United States
 Irrespective of this history, brist- ling with suspicion. an analysis of the protocols shows that on their face they are a fabrication and that they must have emanated from the bitter opponents of democracy They are replete with cynical refer ences to the French revolution, and to the conceptions of liberty, equality and fraternity. They uphold privi- Iese and autocracy They belittle education. They condemn religious liberty. They assert that political freedom is an idea and not a fact, and that the doctrine that a govern ment is nothing but a, steward of the people is a mere phrase. These are the very doctrines that one would ex- pect from the protagonists of au- tocracy.
 Foreign to Jewish Thought
 Nothing be more foreign 10 Jewish thought and aspiration than these brutal theories of reaction. That the Jews, wose very life has been a prayer for the blessings of liberty and equality, should hold them in contempt is unthinkable.
 Significant Omission
 The document throughout is far cical in it's absurdities. In the Rus sian original there is a passage, significantly omitted from the trans lation, to the effect that the English are he descendants of the lost government is violently attacked for it's liberalism. If climax there be to all this folly, it lies in the idea set forth in The Protocol that from the dynastic roots of King David" and that "the King of 1s- rael will become the real pope and patriarch of the international church." whatever that may mean.
 It is needless. however, to elab- crate, when one considers that the editor of the London Morning Post, in his introduction to .'The Cause of the World Unrest" himself doubts the genuineness of The Protocols, and that the anonymous author o1 that book, after using them as his text is unable to give them any high CT certificate than that they may Or may not be genuine. Indeed, he goes So far as to say:
