Heretofore Greek immigrants have arrived in America, that is, men and women, young and old, boys and girls, likewise queer musical instruments, loom-woven blankets, dried fruits, rare liquors, and what not, but a Greek immigrant dog had never before set foot in Castle Garden, Ellis Island.

The dog Ivanof whose picture you see below is the first immigrant to arrive in this country and was sent to Mr. John Christaros, a coffee merchant in Chicago.

Ivanof, a native of Kilkis, wears around his neck a war medal for distinguishing himself as an enemy of the Bulgarians. His spying was very valuable to the Evzones.

We advise Mr. Christaros, for the peace and welfare of Chicago, to keep this new addition to the Greek community far away from Bulgarians, lest a Chicago Greco-Bulgarian war should break out, which undoubtedly would be disastrous for the Bulgarians, who are in the minority.
