All Jews have been ousted from the telephone, post and telegraph services in Algeria, it was reported here today, in accordance with a new decree that rescinds the citizenship of all Algerian Jews, whether Algerian-born or French-born.

Only exceptions to the new citizenship law are Jews who fought for France in this war, members of the Legion of Honor, holders of the Medaille Militaire, families of men killed while fighting for France and “those who have rendered prominent service to the country.”
