Louis and thence eastward to Washington would embrace over four-fifths of them, for most of the great American cities lie in this northeastern corner of the land. Whence come these millions.^ From the vast and mysterious lands of the Slavs, from Italy, from Greece, and from the Levant. The term Slav covers a welter of nationalities whose common ethnic heritage has long been con- cealed under religious, geographical, and political diversities and feuds. They may be divided into North Slavs, incl...uding Bohemians, Poles, Ruthen- ians, Slovaks, and "Russians," and South Slavs, including Bulgarians, Serbians and Montenegrins, Croatians, Slovenians, and Dalmatians. As one writer on these races says, "It is often impossible in America to distinguish these national groups. . . . Yet the differences are there. ... In American communities they have their different churches, societies, newspapers, and a separate social life. . . . The Pole v/astes no love on the Russian, nor the Ruthenian on the Pole, and a person who acts in ignorance of these facts, a missionary for instance, or a political boss, or a trade union organizer, may THE CITY BUILDERS 165 find himself in the position of a host who should innocently invite a Fenian from Cork County to hobnob with an Ulster Orangeman on the ground that both were Irish." ^ The Bohemians (including the Moravians) are the most venturesome and the most enlightened of the great Slav family.
