Bucharest, Aug. 8.
THE murder here of 'Mihail Stelescu is new evidence of the frenzy now sweeping Rumanian anti-Semitic fanatics.
For years these spoiled darlings of Rumanian nationalism have tortured and murdered Jews. Now they are using the same methods against all their rivals.
Chief among the anti-Semite leaders is Professor A, C. Cuza, For two decades he has had no other aim than to incite students in the name of Christ to persecute Jews.
