Enlisted men and officers of the American, British, Canadian, French and Polish armies, and men of the Jewish Brigade dotted the Rothschild Synagogue here yesterday at special services arranged by the Jewish community to observe Armistice Day. Leaders of the community and Jewish chaplains of the various Allied armies spoke. In the afternoon a unit of the Brigade placed a wreath on the grave of the unknown soldier at the Are de Triomphe.
At the national cemetery of Mont Valerien the bodies of fifteen French war berces were reburied with solemn ceremonies. Among them was that of Renee Lovy, a forty-four-year-old Jewish school teacher who was captured by the Germans in 1941 while operating an underground radio transmitter in her Paris apartment. Mlle. Levy was deported to Germany and was shot in Cologne in April, 1943. The body of Henri Ulner, a Jewish soldier killed in action in 1939, was also among the fifteen.
