PRO-GERMANS BOMBED

NEW INCIDENT IN PARIS VICHY ROUNDS UP JEWS (9.30 a.m.) ~LONDON. Aug 28. Reports reaching Berne, Switzerland, from Paris indicate that unrest is continuing. The latest incident occurred last night when a bomb exploded during a meeting of the collaboration movement, Reassemblement Populaire, killing one person and injuring many. The Lyons radio announced that tor the first time since the armistice, the tricolour flew from the dome of Les Invalides, Paris, on the departure of the first French volunteers for the Russian front. A tricolour standard was presented to the battalion. The Marseillaise was played. Admiral Darlan, M. Debrinon, French Minister in Paris, and Herr Abetz, German Minister, were present. A Vichy message, quoting the newspaper Petit Parisien, says that the last of the Jews of foreign nationality who have entered France since 1936, were rounded up in the unoccupied zone to-day for deportation to eastern Europe. The Vichy occupation authorities have ordered the mayors to erase the names of all Jews from the civil register, thereby depriving them of ordinary civil rights. The Bulgarian Government, according to the Paris radio, approved of 59 laws against the Jews last night. All Jews in Bulgaria must henceforth wear a yellow star and their premises must be specially marked. The Government reserves the right to deport any number of Jews over the frontier,
