Judge that the Arabs made an entirely
unprovoked attack in force on the Jews
before dawn on August II. The Jews,
however, appear to have been waiting
for it and had organized defense units.
In any case, the fighting, when 1t
came. caught the British government OF
Palestine off balance and without sum
Gent force to maintain order. The
nearest British troops were in Egypt,
which adjoins Palestine on the south.
and they arrived too late to suppress
the fighting at the start. when 1t might
have been halted or prevented.
Where Trouble Began.
Trouble had been brewing for some
weeks, with the Wailing Wall, as usual,
the center. The Jewish Telegraph
Agency reported that horde Of Mos
lens swept from the Enclosure OF the
Mosque of Omar through the new gate
into the area of the Wailing Wall and
there destroyed whatever they found,
burned Jewish prayer slips which had
been thrust into the crevices OF the
wall, and otherwise displayed their en-
nifty.
With those beginnings the warlike
Arabs became aggressors. RidiculouSly
exaggerated reports of the fighting
spread through the little country, where
communication is primitive. Telephone
lines have been cut, the newspapers sup
pressed, there Is no means Of any man
learning what is really going on, and
anxiety Is increased a hundred fold
thereby.
Once the fighting spread outside the
walls of Jerusalem, as 1t Straightaway
did, there was no stopping it except by
the most heavy military occupation. The
farther from the city the rioting went,
the greater the vu!nerabi!ity Of the OUT
numbered Jews and the less the re-
straint of the Arabs, since there was
little chance of their being caught and
punished individually. Where they kill
they loot.
In previous fights about the Wailing
Wall the Jewish leaders have admitted
that the culpr1ss were promptly caught
and punished by the Palestine govern
ment.
The extsit of the ruins ot tAe Sewisn
community and the permaneree 81 TIE
fighting mood of the Arab is impossible
to estimate.
In Syria and other Arab communities
there have been demonstrations in ap-
prevail of the action of the Palestine
Jews, and France has sent more troops
to the centers of that country. There
is no doubt that England can subdue
the general riot1ng IN snort time as
her forces of troops, planes and ships In
Palestine waters increase, but for the
Jews in Transjordania and the Arabian
hinterland there Is still great danger.
And the general discomfort of the h.ass
with the results of the treaty ds YER
sailles smolders IN every section.

Alsatians Skirnish
Over Bastille Day

Whereas in 1919 the whole of Alsace
and Lorraine celebrated with the ut
most fervor and emotion the first July
IA CBaStille day. after the World War,
the autonomist mayor and town council
of Colnar refused this year, as a sign
of disaffection, to attend the military
parade and did not even illuminate the
town hall. In return, a schoolboy,
winner of the highest class honor and
to whom prize book had been pre-
sented by the mayor himself, declined
to take it, as he would have nothing
to do with an enemy of France. This
is a skirmish of kind frequently hap
pening in Alsace nowadays.

Details of Tax Refund Com
promise Show Interest

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Details of a compromise settlement
under which the Government would
pay SI5,O00,000 in tax refunds, plus
Sll 100000 interest, to the United
States Steel Corporation in termsna-
ton of long-stan0ing litigation, were
made public today in testimony given
House appropriations subcommittee.
The explanation was given by Assist
ant Secretary Bond of the Treasury,
who said that if the settlement is ac-
cepted by the steel company in lieu
Of the $161 100000 it had sued for, the
case would be closed forever"
The settlement, which already has
drawn criticism from Represen ltive
Garner of Texas, one of the Democratic
leaders, was described by Bond as
more of compromise by the tax
payer than the Government, since The
steel company has conceded about 20
important issues"
The original return of the company
in 1917. he said, showed tax of about
$l99, 100000, but. after years Of study,
the amount finally was whitfield down
to $173,000,000 The errors, Bond ex-
planned. occurred in determining
whether certain income of the cor
poration and its subsidiaries on long
term contracts should be credited to
1916 or 1917, the latter year being the
first one in which an excess profits tax
was paid.
Bond said the refund largely was
responsible for an appeal by the Treas
ury to Congress for an additio- al SIS
100000 to repay Illegally collected taxes
in addition To the $l5,000,000 refund,
plus $ll ,000,0 900 interest
The report covering the various points
of the compromise now is before the
joint congressional committee on tax
refunds. Bond said, and the 0xaaeury
proposes to GO ahead with the settle
ments o. cases that have arisen from
the collection of taxes from the con-
cern in 1918, 1919 and 1920 as soon as
the 1917 one has been disposed Of.
Replying to questions by Representa-
tive Buchanan, Democrat, Texas, con-
cerning the activities of Secretary Mel
Ion in settling the case, Bond said that
the Secretary had issued no instruc-
tions in connection with it,
Buchanan inquired If, In view of the
fact that the settlement involves a
great corporation in which current re-
ports state that the Secrtary of the
Treasury holds good bunch of stock, "
Bond did not think he was disqualified
from participating in such negotiations
Bond said that the g9iieral enforce
ment of the law was In the hands OF
the commissioner of internal revenue
over which the Secretary, through his
assistants, had supervisory powers.

WASHINGTON TALKS
WITH UTAH At SEA.
Navy Radio Corps Keeps Up
Constant Communication
With Vessel.

Radio communication with the U. S.
S. Utah, on which President-elect Her
bert Hoover and his party are return
ing to the United States. has been car
ried on steadily direct from Washing
ton with corps of trained naval radio
operators.
Daily, as the Utah makes her way
to Hampton Roads, Va, the operators
in the office Of naval communications
at the Navy Department talk over
the air with the ship and do business
that runs into $4,000 words each day,
90 per cent of it copy" of the press
correspondents.
Under the duplex" system, messages
can be sent and received at the same
time from the Utah. and 40 words
minute is considered a good working
speed. When the Utah was faTthest
south on her South American cruise,
naval radio operators sitting in the
Navy Department worked" with the
vessels in an air line of 5,400 miles and
carried thrc...e.l the task without a
hitch.
Three Stations in Use.
Stations NAA at Arlington. NKF at
Bellevue. D. c., and MSS at Annapolis,
Md. have been brought into play to
carry on the tremendous IOdQ OF cOLn-
munication While the Utah was steam
ing southwark to pick up the Hoover
party, the Navy utilized this opportuni-
ty to experiment with the best systems
to use in getting into communication
with the ship and found that at all
times Washington was able to talk"
with the Utah.
Special arrangements for expedition
of the press copy at the Navy Depart
ment were made so that the early edi-
tions of the newspapers could get the
news from their correspondents aS
promptly as possible.
This extra load of work. comparable
to sudden wartime expansion, is being
conducted under the leadership of
Capt. Stanford Z. Hooper. director of
naval communications, with Radio
Gunner James II. Durkee having under
his direct supervision three specially
selected high-frequency expert op-
erato~S.
