Thanks to the intervention of the administrative authorities and the police, the excesses at Zloczow were put down the same day that they occurred, the Jewish Community of Sieradz, the district town of the area in which Zloczow is situated, has replied to an enquiry made to it by the J.T.A. here. All is now quiet, the statement proceeds, but the names of the victims and the extent of the damage have not yet been established.

Although quiet has been completely restored, the panic-stricken Jewish inhabitants of Zloczow are still afraid to leave their homes after dark, the J.T.A. learns. One of the teachers of the elementary school in Zloczow, a certain Halber, who is a member of the antisemitic National Democratic Party, is stated to have been the ringleader of the agitation against the Jews which led to the excesses and the Jews have stopped sending their children to the school as a protest against his attitude.
