Princess Sees Documents.
One day he confided to her the rea-
son for his presence in the FRENCH
capital-namely. to fabricate proto-
coils summarizing Jewish activities
through the centuries and represent
ing the lsraelites as a great danger
threatening European civilization and
all reigning dynasties. He even show
ed the princess his manuscript, but
when she scoffed at the idea lie took
offense.
The protocols were first published
in 1905 as an appendix to a mystic
book. edited at Tsarskoe -Selo, and
sold by the Russian lied Cross press,
which was always used for printing
the cars personal documents. Wheth-
er the Serge Nilus who signed the pro-
tocols. was really a judge in a Moscow
municipal court. as Is said. or whether
he was a mythical parsonage. Princess
Radziwill does not know. but IL he
really existed she considers that he
was merely dupe of the secret po-
lice.
