Stimson's action was somewhat
unusual in diplomatic procedure.
1t was announced that the United
States will not send any warships
to the scene.
this respect is based upon two
considerations: a. Palestine Is a
British mandate, and the response
bility for maintaining order AMI
security belongs to Britain; and (2)
there are no American warships
within thousands of miles OF
Palestine. The European station
OF the Navy, established during the
war anad maintained steadily since,
was abandoned only a few weeks
ago.
In addition to the verbal repre-
sentations which Stimson instructed
Dawes to make to the foreign office
in London, direct representations
have also been made to the British
Administration in Palestine. through
American Consul Paul Knabenshue.
He informed the British that the
American Government looked to
them to protect its nationals and
their property.
Knabenshue's report to the De-
partment today confirmed deaths
Of American Jewish students but
gave no details. The situation, fol-
lowing yesterdays bloody rioting,
was described as somewhat easier,
due to the arrival of British en-
forcements, who came from Egypt
by air.
The village of Talpioth, where
some Americans resided, was evacu-
ated completely without casualties,
Knabenshue reported, but the Mos.
lens later entered it and looted
some of the homes.
JERUSALEM, Aug. 26 Q.N.S).-
The bloody interracial rioting be-
tween Arabs and Jews throughout
Palestine entered phase fraught
with serious complications today as
result Of the Moslem attack upon
the STobodka Rabbinical College al
Hebron, in which an undetermined
number of students, including 20
Americans, were stabbed or beaten
to death.
The sudden attack upon the
Slobodka College followed three days
OF sporadic fighting between the
two religious factions, and although
no adequate check-up has as yet
been possible, it is reported that
