George Harry Asher (Georg Harry Ascher) was born on November 18, 1907 in Vienna. After studying advertisement and graphic design in Prague, he stayed in Czechoslovakia working in advertising and as a commercial traveler. When the Germans marched into Prague, he found asylum in the French Embassy and, after having been arrested and released by the Gestapo, he fled to France, where he was interred in several French camps. The writer Oskar Maria Graf put Ascher's name on a list of a visa program for intellectuals, and he obtained a visa to the U.S. Coming from Lisbon, he arrived in New York, where - from 1941 to 1947 - he held various blue-collar jobs. In 1942 he married Esther Lea Lewin (she was born 1907 in Nevel, Russia, escaped Germany via London, settled in New York in 1940 and died in 1992). In 1947, Asher started his career as an art director in the advertising industry.

Most of the English media tended to down play the violence of the 1907 riots. This view, widely circulated in local newspapers, came to dominate later views as well. Sixty years later, a historian writing about the riots concluded from reading local English language newspapers that: “There was considerable damage to property held by Chinese and Japanese, but there were no deaths.1”. Chinese and Japanese language newspapers tended to describe the riots in a much more violent light. For instance, in an article, “The Detailed Report of the Vancouver Riot”, published in Taiwan in both Japanese and Chinese on September 22, 1907, roughly two weeks after the riot, THE TAIWAN DAILY NEWS, reported that there were in fact multiple deaths: “The Japanese stores in Vancouver on the evening of September 8th, were damaged by a thousand rioters; The Japanese fought with them and killed four white men2.”Additionally, this article described in detail the number of stores that were damaged and specifically indicated the name of the stores, “The eighteen stores ran by the Japanese, including nine hotels, two public bathing places, two shoes stores, five barber shop, a bank, a press, a Japanese food restaurant, and a glass store, were all damaged.3

Even in new publications and works, many authors refer to a "Cossack-carbine M. 1907", a "Carbine M. 1910" or a "Cossack-carbine M. 1910." All these references are incorrect. The only correct name is "Three-Line-Carbine, Model of the Year 1907." It is even incorrect too to refer to this carbine as the "Carbine Mosin-Nagant M. 1907", as was done in the headline of this article; ... the names of the designers of the Three-Line-Rifles are so commonly used in the Western Countries as names that it seems permissible to make use of this name while not entirely correct.
