The police here arrested, yesterday, many Jewish students after they, together with some foreigners who were guests at a fair here, demonstrated in front of an anti-Semitic perfumery shop, demanding the removal of an anti-Semitic sign.

As a result of intervention by the Zionist organization, the demonstrators have been temporarily released, but they will probably be tried. Their trial will probably air the entire question of the anti-Semitic propaganda which is being carried on by the shop.

The Austrian authorities have hitherto declared that they are powerless to stop the anti-Semitic propaganda of this shop, because the anti-Semitic pamphlets displayed in its show windows have passed the censorship.
