“Peace on earth and good will toward men” has induced the members of the Ku Klux Klan in Milwaukee to be charitable to the Jews, Catholics and Negroes in that city, according to a despatch to the New York “Herald-Tribune”.
According to the despatch, members of the Ku Klux Klan donned white robes over their overcoats and after posing for the camera men in the “colored colony”, where fifty Christmas baskets went to Negro families they moved on to the Jewish district, where eighty baskets were given away. Two hundred and seventy went to Catholic families.
