Featured with big headlines, a story appears on the first page of the Acht Uhr Abendblatt charging the existence of a conspiracy on the part of the Alliance Israelite and B’nai B’rith to overthrow the German government.
The story charges that the Order of Freemasons is working together with the Alliance in this alleged plot which is, according to Achtuhrblatt, the reason for the current Grand Orient Conference of the order.
Plans for Jewish rule of the world, Achtuhrblatt declares, are bound to fail if the anonymity of the conspirators is removed.
