RISING PROTEST
IN OCCUPIED FRANCE AGAINST INHUMAN TREATMENT , OF JEWS. AGED ARCHBISHOP DEFIES THREAT OF DEATH. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, September 25. The entire country is ranging behind the churches in condemnation of the inhuman treatment of Jews, according to reports reaching Lisbon from Occupied France. Travellers reveal that the Archbishop of Toulouse was threatened with death if he allowed a recent pastoral letter to be read in his churches. The Archbishop replied: “I am so old that it does not matter if I die.” A goods train arrived at Toulouse in which 45 women and children were packed into each wagon, from 5 a.m. until 2 p.m. Protests were made and permission was sought to allow the women and children to leave the coaches at least for a few minutes, but this was refused. Eye-witnesses state that they watched armed men hunt Jews in the fields as though they were \ rabbits.
