Two thousand students, following a meeting at the University of Lwow yesterday, marched through the streets of the city in a demonstration to Mizkiewicz Park.

Police forces had to be augmented by a fire brigade which employed water hoses before the demonstration could be dispersed.

The students then formed into groups and scattered through the streets where attacks upon Jews were resumed.

Among those injured were Dayan Rabbi Anshel Schreiber, Dr. Karl Zipor, a Jewish war veteran, who has received the highest military award; Nahum Silber and a Miss Peck, sister of a Jewish soldier who was killed on the war front.

A new instrument of attack was introduced yesterday when two powderbombs were exploded at the Gmilus Chassodim building and the Jewish cemetery. All the windows of the structure and those of the neighboring buildings were broken and their walls shaken.

The attacks upon Jews in running trains, which began in the suburbs, yesterday were extended to long distance trains, particularly on the Lemberg-Bratislava-Prezemysl lines.

Attempts to re-open the Jewish business places which have been closed throughout the week of the rioting were soon abandoned yesterday in view of the tense situation which has now been increased by the fact that the condition of Samorski, a Polish student shot following the funeral of Jan Grotowski, is worse.
