The center of the Paris Jewish quarter, called Carreau du Temple, was the scene today of an anti-Semitic incident rare in Paris. Six members of the Royalist League, nicknamed Camelots du Roy, ran through the street shouting, “Down with the Jews” and distributed among passersby copies of L’Action Francaise, the Royalist organ. During the row which followed one of the rowdies was knocked down and the others fled.
