The annual march to the grave of Dr. Theodore Herzl in the Jewish cemetery here, which is held each year about the time of his birthday, took place to-day without any incident, the police authorities acting up to their promise to guarantee absolute order, despite the Nazi threats that there would be a pogrom against the marchers. Immense forces of police escorted the thousands of Jews who marched in the procession, carrying Zionist flags. Nazi storm troops appeared in the vicinity of the cemetery, but no one was molested.
