What the Juniors Are Loing
MAKE GOOD IMPRESSION ALTOONA, Pa. At the recent mammoth demonstration of the Women of the Ku Klux Klan of Altoona, the Junior Klan of Altoona took part and initiated a class of young Americans. Considerable comment was made along the line of march, commending the orderly conduct of the Junior Klansmen. Seven Juniors rode in a nar with the state director of . the Junior Klan of Pennsylvania, and the rest marched behind the car. The Juniors were instructed to keep absolutely quiet no matter what might be said to them as they marched along. This rule was closely observed by every Junior Klansman. At the initiation ceremonial in the evening, fifty-nine American" boys were initiated. The Junior Klan is growing rapidly throughout the state of Pennsylvania, and the Altoona demonstration is an indication of the splendid progress already made by a state which has just recently entered the ranks of Junior Klankraft.
SENIORS MAKE PRESENT MORGANTOWN, W. Va. At a recent meeting of the Junior Klan of Monongahela county, a representative of the Morgantown Klan gave $100 to the treasury of the local Junior Klan in the name of the senior Klan.

The Juniors here say that the seniors will never have occasion to regret the co-operative interest they have taken in the boys' organization.

The first class of Burlington county, composed of a large number f American hoys, was initiated into the Junior Klan. Senior Klansmen and Klanswomen witnessed the ceremony. At no place in New Jersey has there been a keener interest in the Junior Klan than was evidenced on the part of the men and women who attended this Klonklave. The spirit of co-operation among members of the senior organizations here has not been excelled in any other locality in the state of New Jersey. JUNIORS BURN CROSS JOHNSTOWN, Pa Marching in solid, silent ranks, about 2,500 sturdy youths of Cambria county, members of the Junior Ku Klux Klan, came sweeping onto the ball field on Berkebile Hill here recently at 9:30 o'clock in the evening. After initiating a large class and other brief ceremonies, they prepared for the event of the evening, the burning of their first cross. The cross was made with two cross bars and had a big J and a small R, one on each side of the upright. There were a few
moments of silence, way down the
nin a ngnt nasneu once, twice, thrice, followed by three blasts' from aerial bombs, then a snurt nf fire
as the 40-foot cross burst into flame.
tremendous cheering was followed by the Juniors singing the first stanza of "America." while in a larcro
circle around the Juniors and their
cross stood a white, silent ring of senior Klansmen.
RECEIVE AMERICAN FLAG BRIDGETON, NJ.-The Junior Order United American Mechanics of Bridgeton presented the local organization of the Junior Ku Klux Klan of Cumberland county with a Holy Bible and an American flag recently. The ceremony, held in the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, was most beautiful. Long before the time scheduled for the presentation, the church was filled to capacity and overflowing. As the Klansmen and Klanswomen filed into the church, followed by the Junior Klansmen carrying an American flag and a cross of red gladioli, a tremendous reception was given by the great throng. The ceremony was opened with prayer by a local minister, followed by an address of welcome from the pastor of Trinity. A member of the Jersey City chapter of the Junior Order United American Mechanics made the presentation address in behalf of his order.

Fourth Attack by Aliens Leads Klansmen to Ask for Removal of Ohio Mayor
Rolling Mill Employe Victim of Etonian Catholic Mob Other Citizens Hare Been Beaten Up
NILES, Ohio, Sept. 1 Following the fourth attack on supposed Klansmen by enemies of the organization within the last month, Governor Donahey has been asked to remove Mayor H. C. Kistler andX. J. Round, chief of police, for alleged failure to enforce the law. The petition was filed with the governor by the Mahoning County Klan when it became known that Steven Martin, rolling mill employe, was the victim of an attack by an un-American mob. According to Martin's story, he was sitting on the steps of the Presbyterian church late one Sunday night, when about 150 men drove up in automobiles and prepared to burn a "circle" in front of the McKinley Memorial. One of the men, he said, came ..across the street and invited him to "come over and see it," but he refused. Invitation Becomes Order The invitation was changed to a command which was repeated several times, but Martin persisted in his refusal. When several of the men assumed a menacing attitude, he started to run and took refuge in a nearby store. Several pursued him and demanded that? he come out, and when he did not, they went in after him. Approaching him from behind, one of the mob struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious. After he was down, they beat and kicked him about the face and head, according to witnesses. He was taken to his home where a physician attended to his injuries. As soon as he was able to be out, he told his story to the chief of police, but failed to receive any satisfaction, he said, whereupon he appealed to Mayor Kistler, and again his charges were ignored. His next step was to lay his case before officials of the Mahoning County Klan, and it was decided to ask the governor to remove both officials. Body Mass of Bruises Youngstown officials of the Klan were astounded at Martin's condition. His body was almost a solid mass of bruises and abrasions. The candidacy of Kistler was indorsed by the Klan and it was largely due to Klan support that he was elected. The appointment of Round as chief of police was the first intimation that Kistler was making a play to Roman Catholics and other anti-Klan elements, and almost every official move since has been against the patriotic movement. It has been openly charged that Mayor Kistler has been friendly toward the anti-Klan element for political purposes, and law enforcement under his administration has virtually ceased to exist, Klansmen assert. "We helped to put Kistler in office and we have a right to help put him out." said a county Klan official. "We feel that the situation has become so acute that there is only one satisfactory way out the removal of Kistler. At the beginning of the year Mayor Kistler gave his promise that he would enforce the law to the letter." Of late he has apparently forgotten that promise. Four citizens of Niles have been beaten up." v Among other charges against the mayor and his chief of nolice is that
of failure to stop the interception of
motor vehicles by members of "the flaming circle," who demanded to know whether the occupants were Klan members.

Jews Are Indignant "The protest to the government was made on the ground of article 9 of the Palestine mandate, which lays it down that respect for the personal status of the various peoples and communities and for Iheir religious interests shall be fully guaranteed. "The action has aroused much indignation amapg the Jews here. "As they look upon Hebrew opera as one of the most tangible and laudable features in the revival of Jewish culture, they consider that the prohibition of a performance in Hebrew in the Jewish National Home of a Jewish opera idealizing-Jewish character is a relapse into medievalism, and as being in conflict with the spirit of the Balfour declaration."

Officers Will Emphasize Rule
Against Revealing Identity of Members
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 1. "Visors down and chins nn" is tho now
Klan watchword in Ohio. It has
been called to the attention of the state officials that tho rule" against revealing the identity of members has been violated at many Klon-klaves.-and other open meetings within the last "few months, and it is known that the opposition has lost no opportunity to check iip, so far as possible, on individual members. "It is not a question of whether the individual member is willing to be known as a Kfansman," said an official of the organization, "but it is a rule to preserve the secrecy which is so essential to the success of our movement. Imperial Klasyk Speaks Relative to the wearing of visors, the Imperial Klazik said in a recent address :s "We have not maintained our secrecy. The identity of Klansmen has been revealed. Visors have been lifted, names have been disclosed, and individuals have been advertised as Klansmen. Many untrained Klansmen, through their overmuch zeal," have been too free to make
themselves known as Klansmen. and to take personal credit -for all beneficentSsf acts " nerfnrmeil hv it. a

"Klansmen must be reminded again that our secret TnpTYiheraViiTi

an matters, all symbols, all information, and all persons connected with the Kniehts of the Kn Kin
Klan. The greatest enemy we have
is tne most secret, compact military machine in the whole world. We shall not be able to cope with .this secret power unless we learn to maintain our own secrecy. The order must be, "Visors down; the veil of secrecy .lowered" for every Klansman. Spread the slogan, "Get the vision through the visor!" - "
