BattIeshipS Rushed

LONDON, Aug. 27.-The serious
ness of the situation in Palestine
where the centuries-old conflict be-
tween Moslems and Jews broke out
afresh with terrific casualties on
both sides was illustrated today by
the number of troops and battle
ships which the British government
was rushing to the riot zone.
The tremendous forces already in
Palestine or en- route there included
the First battalion of the South
Wales borderers; the First battalion
Of the Kings regiment; the Second
battalion of the South StaffordShire
regiment; the Second battalion of
the Green Howard; the First
battalion of the Queens regiment,
battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers,
armed airplanes, bon1bers, eleven
deStroyers, a squadron Of armored
cars, sappers and Signallers.
It was reported from Malta that
the battlesllip Royal Sovereign also
was preparing to depart from
Palestine waters.
The London Press was disposed
today to blame the British authori-
ties for failure to anticipate the out
break in view of the long antagon-
ism between Jews and Arabs over
the Wailing Wall. The newspapers
editorially also question the wisdom
of Great Britain accepting the man

Casualties in the fighting between
Jews and Arabs in Palestine con-
tinued to mount today.
The French foreign Office an
nounced it had been advised that
900 Jews and Arabs had been killed.
The wounded amounted to many
hundreds.
Uncensored United Press reports
from Beirut, Syria, today indicated
that the Palestine riots now we're
spreading to small villages and to
the agricultural communities. These
dispatches said the situation was
becoming aggravated because of an
alliance between Moslems and Chris
tianS,
Strong forces of Arab Moslems
were concentrating before the all
Jewish settlement of Tel-Ayiv today,
the fifth day of rioting between Jews
and Arabs in Palestine over the
wailing wall. British reinforcements
were being rushed to the towns de-
fense.
Dozens of battleships, cruisers and
destroyers from various points of the
British empire were steaming
toward the Palestine ports at full
speed today, some of them carrying
battalionS of land troops, others
marines and naval police.
Despite the additional British pa
trols the rioting continued today.

patches from several points in Pal
estine indicated the Arabs were
planning to renew hostilities.

We young men of 20, however,
