JERUSALEM, Aug., 28, (JP)—
Moslem uprisings throughout Pal
estine. Syria and Trans-Jordania,
loomed unless British power in
the middle east crushes quickly
the rising spirit of unrest among
the fanatical tribesmen.
The situation has already ap
peared to have passed far beyond
the original dispute between Arabs
and Jews over the Wailing Wall.
Observers looked to Ibn
Saud, the mighty, king of the
Hedjaz whose ultimate attitude
will turn the scales one way or
another.
Certain facts are being rapid
ly assembled and thus far these
fail to bear out the optomistic
tone of official dispatches. These
fixed the dead at 143 of both
Arabs and Jews and the wounded
at 420. An accurate check, how
ever, is impossible.
Beershada tribes are reported
to be arming and gathering by
the thousands for march into bat
tle near Hebron the scene of Sat
urday’s massacre when the Arabs
literally cut to pieces Jewish men,
women and children.
Italy and France have sent
warships to protect nationals.
British troops fired on a mob
yesterday and killed a large num
ber of both Jews and Arabs.
