EDITOR'S PREFACE
The most interesting part of
the encyclopedia is undoubted-
ly the preface and the intro-
ductions by the editors, pub-
lishers and others, of which we
may avail ourselves for the
purpose of illustration of the
"encyclopedic" spirit. "Sigilla
Veri" is "dedicated to Jews,
pro-Jews and anti-Jews of all
times and all lands, especially
of Germany, their Torah, their
manners and customs, their
thieves' tongue, their assumed
names, their secret circles .. ."
Each of the four volumes
published contains 1,200 pages.
The publishers are "The World
League Against Falsehood"
and "The Federation of Aryan
Christians." Every precaution
is taken so that the Encyclo-
pedia shall not fall into the
hands of any undesirable per-
son, particularly a Jew. A
special inscription on the fron-
tispiece proclaims the work to
be: "In memory of the fallen
of all nations in the war of
1914-1918, the war that re-
sulted from the machinations of
commerce and Jewry."
The list of authors and con-
tributors is extremely cosmo-
politan. There are correspon-
dents from Switzerland, Amer-
ica, France, England, Scandi-
navia, Japan, even Russia, and,
of course, Germany.
The preface offers an apol-
oil, to all those who have been
mistaken for Jews or half-Jews,
and goes on to warn Jews that
all denials, arguments, or le-
gal proceedings that they may
institute against the publishers
will be ignored, since the edi-
tors are of the opinion that one
could not very well have a duel
with a Jew or go to law with
hint "The code of honor of
the human race is totally dif-
ferent from that of the 'anti-
race' and its hangers on . . ."
- —
truth) is first and foremost to be
made an international work. To
that end, negotiations are on foot
with publishers in France, Eng-
land, Spain, Sweden and else-
where for the publication of "Sig-
ilia Veri" in translated form, so
that "it may become a text-book
for the nations."
The editors boast of "generous
support by the sons of all nations
of the earth," thanks to which the
financial basis of the encyclo-
pedia has been assured, and they
express their hope that "now the
nations will understand that not
Germany is their foe, but Jewry."

Neo-Jewish Sect Seeks Cir- "COUNTER-RACE"
Of special interest is the con-

ception of the new word "anti-
race" (Gegenrasse), a descrip-
tion often used for the Jews in
Germany. The introduction
takes great pains to demon-
strate that Jews are a "counter-
race," a parasite nation, from
the very beginning of their
history. The author of this

iaeval "theory" of a Christ and

Every approved subscriber is
assured that his identity will
be kept secret and the trans-
action conducted confidentially.
Nor are the names of the au-
thors disclosed, for "many wild
beasts and real criminals are at
large," though the editors do
not forget to assure the Jews
that this precaution is taken
not out of cowardice, but as a
matter of "convenience."
The work is faultlessly ar-
ranged in true German pe-
dantic style. Many pages are
devoted to bibliography, refer-
ences, abbreviations, signs, di-
visions and sub-divisions. A
true masterpiece or art, care
and diligence.
A Curious R
A rather curious reason is
given for the fact that the en-
cyclopedia is arranged not in or-
der of the economic groups of
Jewry but in alphabetical order.
"Jews," it is argued, "neither
have nor recognize limits and di-
visions. A Jew is born in Gal-
icia, he becomes a senator or a
preacher in
sectional church
America, and dies in Africa as the
owner of a gold-mine. The Jew
is everywhere and yet nowhere.
A Jewish poet is simultaneously a
threatical magnate and a white
slave dealer; a Jewish commercial
counsellor is a Communist, from
time to time a poet and an ethi-
cal essayist; an economist among
them suddenly turns into a man-
ufacturer of works of art."
The encyclopedia deal not only
with Jews and those descended
from Jews; it enlarges also on
"Jewish slaves."
