Four persons were seriously injured and scores received slight wounds during anti-Semitic student riots which took place here last night.
The riots were instigated by members of the Polish students organization, Polonia. Members of this organization recently made it a practice to attack Jewish students, commanding them not to wear the insignia of the organization.
During the excesses last night many of the Jewish students were cruelly beaten, notwithstanding the fact that they offered strong resistance. In the evening the Polish students made an attack on the office of the Polish Jewish newspaper, Schwila. The attack was repulsed upon the intervention of the police.
Leaders of the Jewish population here expressed satisfaction with the attitude of the police during the riots.
