The spectacle of the Jewish national flag flapping in the early morning breeze over the German Consulate here brought a large crowd of cheering Jews to the scene. The cheering was kept up until the police, answering a call, took down the flag, thus dispersing the crowd. The explanation for this untoward spectacle is said to be that a young girl climbed onto the roof of the Consulate building and hoisted the Jewish flag to the German flagpole in the middle of the night. It could not be ascertained whether the German government will make representations either to the British Government or to any Jewish organization on the incident.
