The Jewish people, in the opinion of the famous Czecho-Slovakian Orientalist, Prof. Hroseny, of Prague University, are not Semites, but Hittites, declares a special copyrighted article to the Chicago “Daily News” from Eugene Crawford, its Vienna correspondent. The Jews, according to Prof. Hroseny, are descended from a race thousands of years old, which once dominated the entire East. This opinion he bases on several years’ study and excavation in Asia Minor. Prof. Hroseny states that monuments excavated by his expedition show that the Armenians, Persians, Jews, Assyrians and Hitites belong to the same ethnological family.
