The names of many Jews appear in a list of high dignitaries of Free Mason orders and Theosophical societies published today in the Journal Official with the alleged purpose of preventing the reorganizing of “secret societies.” The Government has also decided to bar Free Masons from holding public office, extending to them the anti-Jewish restrictions.
