BY HOMER H. METZ

CLEVELAND, Aug. 81. u.N.Sl
The 1929 National Air races at the
Municipal Airport here are only two
days old. but they already have an
achievement to their credit that Is
OF inestimable value.
This achievement. let 1t be stated,
il the focusing of the eyes OF the
layman on the fact that warfare in
which airplanes are participants is
horror of the most indeScribable
manner.
Nothing more terrible or terrifying
can be imagined than the sight of
sQuadrons of fighting airplanes zoom-
ing down on field in a power dive.
And there have been many such
sights here since the big sky circus
officially got under way on Sunday.
Service Filters Shine
The various units of the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps, which have
been assigned to go through their
PAGES for the entertainment and edu-
cation of spectators at the races
have provided the outstanding num-
bers on a program of thrills that Is
diversified in the extreme.
So well lave these service flyers
done their work that they have COM
pletely overshadowed and dimmed
the lustre of such glamorous events
as the women's derby and parachute
jumping contests.
The service flyers. led by the
Nays crack High Hat" squadron,
have been giving exhibitions Of form
alton flying and the manner in
which enemy objects, both movable
and stationary. are disposed Of by
airplanes that mean business. To-
day and thereafter for the duration
Of the race meet, they are scheduled
to offer still more thrilling stunts.
Women Cry in Fright
Yesterday the "high hat squad.
ron dived down over the grandstand
in an imaginary attack on an
enemy force with such realism that
innumerable women among the
spectators uttered cries of fright
and hardened aviation men were
forced to exert themselves to the
utmost to keep their nerves under
control. .s
The race meet, by the way, is
now reaching Its highest point
which Is to say, the major events
are under way.
The finish of the women's derby
from Santa Monica. Cal. to CIeve.
land which was won by Mrs. Louise
Thaden of Pittsburgh, and the
finish of the all.Ohio Derby. yester.
day, were the first Of these feature
attractions.
Today. the schedule calls for the
finish Of the Miami>Adiami Beach
Derby, the Portland, Ore, to CleVe'
land Derby. the start Of the Rim-oi
Ohio Derby, and the possible sp.
pearance Of the globe Eirdling Graf

it now appears that the JEWS.
deaths have passed the 100 mark.
Activities of the Arab raiders
have not been ,nfined to attacks
upon, Jews, for reports were re-
ceived here today of an assault upon
a British troop train nea' Jaffa.
This report, Piled with others
of ! hilar nature which have been
circulated since tn pogrom started,
confirm the opinions of many OBJ.
servers that the present situation is
due less to anti-semitisnI than it is
to genuine Arab revolt.
British Plan Drive
In view of the possibility that
these recent outbreaks may repre-
sent the first signs of a widespread
revolt by Arab t: against British
rule, the English authorities are
taking all possible steps to wipe out
the insurrection before 1t grows to
unmanageable proportions.
A British flotilla, consisting Of
eight destroyers and three sloops,
is understood to be on the way here
from Malta to enforce three cruis-
ers dispatched at an earlier date.
The hope is expressed In the foreign
colony that this strong force of
armed craft may have the effect of
reducing the Arab tribes to i'm.
mediate submission. -
But indications today were that
the germ of unrest had been sewn.
and that a long and determined
series of punitive measures must be
taken before the disturbance is
quelled once and for all.
The death list in Jerusalem alone
now totals 80, while more than 40
are reported dead at Habron, where
the Slobogka Rabbinical College was
attacked on Saturday, resulting in
the deaths OF IL American students.
Population In Panic
The spirits of the public in gen
eral were considerably heightened
when the first detachment of Brit
ish troops arrived on the scene.
but the recurring outbreaks in out
lying districts have had the result
Of reducing the population to a
state bordering on panic.
1t is hoped, however, that arrival
OF the British flotilla will result in
immediate intimidation of the Nos
lem raiders. and that peace may be
effected between the two factions.
The Arabs are directing their
devastating activities principally
against homes of prominent Jewish
residents and Hebrew religious In.
situations. Besides the Slobodka
College, which was badly damaged
in the Arab raid, the Chayai Olam
Rabbinical College was damaged
by bomb hurled by fanatical
Moslem raiders. No one was in.
jured.
Efforts Of the British troops to
quell the disturbance have been
made more difficult by the fact
the Moslems are resorting to a
guerilla type of warfare. hiding
themselves in nests in isolated parts
of outlying villages and attacking
when the armed patrols are oc.
cupied elsewhere. The Arabs are
heavily armed, and apparently are
being directed by competent and
well-informed leaders.
