Sabbath of MOslems

JERUSALEM, Aug. 80 Q.N.S).-
Although comparative quiet ruled
throughout the Holy Land today,
the populace remained in a state Of
extreme tension as British authori-
ties worked to the full extent Of
their power to put down the Moslem
rebellion reported to be spreading
throughout the entire Near East.
At the time this message was
filed, the population was even more
uneasy than it has been during the
last week Of maSsacres and bloody
riots between Arabs and Jews. For
today Is the Moslem Sabbath. and
it Is feared it may prove to be the
signal for a general advance upon
JeruBalm by the unruly Arab tribes
from villages surrounding the Holy
City. .--
Brig. Gen. william G. Dobbie,
commander-in-ch Of the British
forces in Palestine, has declared
that the situation is now completely
under control, and that sufficient
troops have now been sent to all
outlying sections of Palestine to
guard against MosIem uprising Of
such proportions as might endanger
Jerusalem.
