Villna Also Quiet: Attacks on Jews Continue However in Provincial Towns: Serious Boycott Movement in

Quiet was maintained to-day also in Vilna. No incidents occurred, but the police reinforcements brought into the city at the height of the disturbances from other parts of the district are still being kept on duty in the streets, in case any attempts are made to renew the outbreak. The Vilna Jewish Community has decided to put back at its own expense the windows in Jewish shops and houses smashed by the rioters.

Several attacks on Jews were made again, though, in provincial towns, like Lowicz, Wloclawek, and Plock.

In Cracow, the capital of Western Galicia, where the present wave of anti-Jewish outbreaks started at the beginning of this month, following on the disturbances which had taken place last month at Lemberg University, the situation continues to be very disturbing. The accusation that Jews smashed windows in the St. Eernard Church in Cracow is being maintained and the two Jewish youths who were arrested on this charge have now been transferred to the jurisdiction of the Public Prosecutor, but remain in custody.

There is also a great deal of anxiety in Cracow over the anti-Jewish boycott agitation which has been started there. After holding a memorial service at the St. Hannah Church for the Vilna student, Stanislaw Waclawski, the Cracow students organised a demonstration, from which groups of students proceeded to Jewish shops, where they started picketting, refusing to allow intending customers to enter. Several clashes occurred in various parts of Cracow, mostly in connection with the boycott agitation. A number of Jewish shopkeepers found it impossible to carry on their business and had to shut their shops. One of the student-pickets picked a quarrel with a Jewish shopkeeper named Schoenfeld, who retaliated by throwing an empty box at the student, which injured him in the head. The National Democrats are parading the injured student about to show how “the Jews are killing our students”.
