ARAB ATTACK NEAR METULLAH.
Captain Trumpelder's Gallant Death.

Details received by the Zionist Or
ganization in London of the Arab raid
on the Jewish Colony of Tel Hal near
Metullah in Upper Galilee on March
1st, show that the Arabs came and
demanded that French soldiers should
be handed over. The district is in the
French zone of occupation. Ex-Cap-
tain Trumpelder replied that there
were no French soldiers in, the place.
The Arabs, however, began search,
and whilst it was being conducted
shooting broke out.
Trumpelder, who was one-armed,
received three wounds with the first
shots, but he pluckily directed the
fighting to the end. when the Arabs
were beaten off with loss of five
killed and Is wounded. They also
left behind a French machine-gun.
During the night the Jews abandoned
Tel Hal and moved to Giladi, and
Trumpelder died on the way. Before
he .bFeathed his last, he said to his
comrades who were carrying him, 1T
is good to die for our country"
Giladi was attacked next day, and
again the Arabs were driven off, leav-
ing two killed. Their total casualties
were thus seven killed, against four
Jews and two Jewesses killed at Tel
Hal, the latter with the first shots
during the search.
The Arab leader of Metullah, Ha-
bak Kamil, gave the Jews shelter, but,
owing to the gathering of large Arab
forces. they all left on March 18th.
Kamil Effendi, the Arab Sheikh who
attacked Tel Hal, is said to be only
10 years Of age.
General Sir L. Bols, Chief Admin
istrator of Palestine, has written to
M. Ussischkin, the Head of the Zion
list Commission, expressing his deep
sympathy and adding, "I think you
know that General Gouraud was in
formed of the dangerous situation of
those villages on the 18th February
by the Zionist representative at tt
berias Cairo is also aware of the
situation"
The Zionist Commission has decid-
ed that, though for the moment Me-
tullah and the farms have been
abandoned, steps should be. taken to
safeguard Jewish claims Ito these
places, and as soon as order is re-
stored. iR. the. district Wofk is to be

But he declared that running big hotel
in Baltimore is not what ii was in the good
old days before prohibition rose up and

Hotel managers all over the country
said, when prohibition became effective,
that il wouldn't make much difference
IN the hotel business" Mr.. kincaid was
reminded. They declared that the bar
receipts formed but q small percentage
of hotels income. and that the profits
from liquor were largely offset by break
age. fights and the loss of family pat
ronage. How about that?'
I'VE were whistiing our way through
