England has issued decree reestab-
fishing civil courts in Palestine and
assigning court of appeals in Jeru-
salem. Two additional courts of the
first instance will sit at Jerusalem
and Jaffa with special courts in the
other districts.
1t Is the plan of the government to
have the staff of the courts consist
as ia ras possible of native inhabi-
tants assisted by British officers pO-
sessing legal experience and knowl,

The salaries of these local officials
have been increased, doing away with
any temptation of bribery, the cOurce
of evil in the Turkish administration.
Local law will be administered un-
altered, except for special military
operations, when military DEGREES will
OF necessity take precedence.
The work of religious courts will
not be interfered with and Moslem re,
ligious courts will be allowed to do
their work in their own districts.

Haifa is at present the only fairly

Probably no man in North Dakota
