MUCH DUELING FOR NOTHING.
De Lubersar-De ROthschild Dispute
Has Involved Friends.

Paris April The talk of society is of
the crop of duels spriraing from the De
Lubersac-pe Rothschild quarrel. which is
really the fruit Of the present anti-Semite
mania.
The whole affair Is of trivial origin. dat
ing from the school days of the two princi-
pal actors. when o! one occasion Comtc
de I.ubcrsac found Baron Robert de Roth
court and asked him to quit. De RothsC hid
refused. and in the course of a dispute
which "nsu"d De Luhersac called him a
"iirty Jew" The resultant ill-feeling lasted
during the remainder Of their college days.
Comtc dc Luhersac was recently Il member
Of the Jockey club. An unpleasant re-
mark was repeated to him which he at
tributed to his old disputant. and he
thcrcupon wrote an insulting letter 10
Baron Robert dc Rothschiid.
Three other duels are the immediate out
come of the quarrel, and are directly trace
able to the hostility of the rival Semitic
and anti-Semitic c!iGues.
