Opposition of Christians and
MohammedanS to Jews
Brings Danger.
By the Associated Pr S..

JERUSALEM, March 1s.-Open adj
vice to the Arabs is being given by
Palestine. the leading Jaffa Arabic
daily. to copy the Egyptian example
and organize real attacks so IS to COM
pei the British government to abolish
the BaIfour declaration making Pale
stine national homeland for the Jews.
This. coupled with Lord Northcliffe's
assertion made while he was in this
country that there was bound to be an
upheavai IN Palestine soon, is causing
great disquietude in Jewish circles.
Eastertime always has been an anxi-
Gus period in Palestine. Even in Turk
ish days special troops had to be con-
centerated in the large cities to guard
against disorders among the Christians
and Moslems. Now that the Christians
and followers of Mahammed are politi-
cally united against the jews. how
ever, the latter find themselves in
grave danger. They still remember
that the Jerusalem disturbance and the
troubles at Jaffa took place during
Easter week.
The proposed reduction of British
officials serving in the Palestine ad-
ministration and their substitution by
Jewish officials also is helping to ag-
gravate matters
Every British official removed from
Palestine" asserts the Belt III Makdes,
a Jerusalem Arabic daily, means the
Tightening of the strangle hold of
Zoinists among our government. We
must resist such move with force,
even with the last drop of Arab blood"
The Gazette. pro-British daily
published in English, says THE pres
ent position in Palestine is grave and
critical The Arabs all over the coun-
try are agitated to a dangerous degree.
For the sake of all parties alike, there
is only one policy to adopt at present,
and that Is firm government. but,
above all, fair government. The pres
ent time is the worst for pressing the
Zionist policy of peaceful penetration
of administrative offices in Palestine"
Twenty-Five Arab leaders last week
sent a cablegram to Prime Minister
Lloyd George asking him to send i'm
mediately to Palestine an impartial
committee. as suggested by Lord
Northcliffe, to make a careful investi-
CATION of existing conditions before
any steps are taken by parliament to
approve the proposed Palestine con-
stitution.

FLASK OF VEAL BROTH,
"a YEARS OLD, PRIZED
RELIC OF SCIENTIST
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-A
small. round flask Of glass, hold
ing a few ounces of veal broth.
. owned by PhiladeIphian. is one
of the most treasured relics OF
modern science, 1t was disclosed
here during the centenary celebra-
tion of the birth OF Louia Pastenr,
father of modern medicine.
The broth was exhibited by Dr.
Ernest La Place, a surgeon to
whom the flask was presented py
DR.. Pasteur. DR.. La Place was the
Frenchman's first American pupil.
The flask OF broth is seventy
four years old and was said to be
Pasteur's proof of his theory If
miscro- life-the germ
theory-on which the modern
structure of medicine and surgery
Is based. The veal broth is as clear
and uncontaminated now as IT was
when it was placed in the mask
no decomposition without germ
growth and no germ growth With
out contamination. :
1t was DR.. Pasteur. who evolved
step by step the theory that All
decomposition was due to Tie ac-
tion of micro-organic life: that
killing the germs would stop ihe
processes, ana thaL the germs oiu
not arise in a substance of their
own accord, but caIne from with
out.
He took sixty TASKS. flied with
the veal broth, sterilized the broth
by heat and then sealed slender
necks of the TASKS by fusins the
glass. Twenty of the iiasks re-
remained sealed and their broth
remained pure. Others he opened
at various places to demonstrate
his theory.

ITALY EXCEEDING U. S.
IN POPULATION INCREASE
War Fails to Affect Growth.
Total of 37,27O, 493 Now
Claimed.

ROME. April 14.-Italy's population
on December /. 1891. was 3s.s35. .1S4.
which includes 1,564.691 persons in
the redeemed provinces. The popula-
tion within the old boundaries. there
fore, was 37.270,493. making an in
crease of rs per cent over the census
of 1911.
These figures were given out today
by the government statistics bureau.
which claims they show the greatest
increase in population of any country
in the world, even exceeding that of
the United States during the same
period. If resident Italians absent
from Italy December / were included
in the statistics the total population
would amount to 40,07S.161. The war
did not affect the growth of popula-
tion in any way. as the increase in
population in the ten years from 1911
to 1921 was greater than that Of 1901
1911. which was CT per cent over the
census Of 1901.

PEkING. April 15.--While the po-
litical situation generally is restless
and the conservatives are not afraid
of a military clash. reports indicate
the possibility of military trouble be-
tween Gen. Chang Tso-Lin and Gen.
Wu Pei-Fu. Both these militarists
have troops within striking distance
of Peking. Chang Tso-Lin's forces
are thirty miles from Tientsin and
Wu Pei-Fu is moving his soldiers
north of the Peking -Hankow line
toward Tientsin and Peking:
Traffic on the PekingM Mukden and

Wu Pei-Fu is now paying more at

militarist in China, who represents

The appointment of Chow TIE chi
as acting premier is significant. He
is close friend of Premier Lfang

and is prominent leader of the
ChiaoTung party. His appointment
by the president is generally accepted
to mean that it is Chang Tso-Lins s

of the Chiao Tung party in control
of the government. The president
is confident that the appointment or
Chow TZe-Chi will solve the cabinet
crisis. This morning he went to a

the Shipping Board few weeks ago
had stated that while "he was very
sorry for the creditors. they should
have acquainted themselves with the
financial standing of the company
