...Jewish family has most efficiently exploited these gifts of their race in modern times? The House of Rothschild comes instantly to mind. One Amschel Moses, a peddler so obscure that he did not know his own surname, set up a shop in Jew Street, Frankfort, two centuries ago, with a rothes schild (red shield) over the door. From that advertisement the House of Rothschild takes its name. Today it stands for a family with, some say, two billion dollars in worldly goods, great banking houses in London, Vienna, Paris and the motto: Servare Modum, Finemque Tenere ("Be moderate, and never...
Once a distracted Frankfort woman came moaning to the aged Frau Rothschild, sobbed: "They say that war is breaking out. They will take my only son."

Such golden cases may be counted, studied, and the nature of their petty contents learned by inference...

Strictly speaking, the crime alleged in this indictment was a post-War affair but it grew out of War measures. Stock of the American Metals Co., property of the Metallgesellschaft and the Metallbank of Frankfort-am-Main, was seized as alien property by the Government soon after the U. S. entered the War. Some $7,000,000 was derived from the sale of these shares. In 1921, this amount in cash and Liberty bonds was turned over to the Société Suisse pour Valeurs de Meteaux, of Basle...
