Anti-Jewish student excesses took place to-day outside Berlin University. The trouble started with a group of Hitlerist students attacking newspaper-vendors who were selling anti-Hitlerist papers, calling them slaves of the Jews. Some students belonging to the Democratic Party came to the protection of the newspaper-sellers, who meanwhile took the opportunity to escape. The Hitlerists pursued them, and soon the fighting had become general. Many Jews in the streets were beaten. The police finally restored order, but at the same time they have issued an order prohibiting the further sale of those newspapers which led to the outbreak. The Democratic Press demands that the prohibition should be extended also to the Hitlerist Press.
