Partition Of Palestine
May Bring Martial Law
British Mass Troops and
Prepare for Trouble Be-

ANSWER TO
PREVIOUS PUZZLE

Jerusalem, July 5.-tU.P)-Great
Britain tonight mobilized the
greatest military force seen in Pal
eStine since the World War and
prepared to establish martial law
if Jews and Arabs riot because of
the British royal commission rec
concentrations for partition of the
Holy Land.
Hand bills proclaiming martial
law already have been printed in
Arabic, Hebrew and English in an
tiCipation of disorders when the
report is announced within a few
days.
More than 5000 British troops
are in the Holy Land under COM
mand of Lieut.. John Greer
Dill and detachments are arriving
daily from Egypt.
The giant battle cruiser Re-
pulse, her decks packed with fight
ing planes, was dispatched to Hal
ia, Just above the Palestine-Syrian
boundary. from her Malta base.
In addition to the 1900 or TO-
900 troops the British have nearly
5000 other armed men in readi-
ness for an outbreak, including
$500 police commanded by u
British officers, 900 British con-
stables, and 1900 frontier guards.
Among the so-called civilian
forces are 1000 Jewish supernum-
erarieS who have been ordered to
stand by for trouble and 1900
members of the TranSjordan Arab
legion, ready to cope with out
breaks in Transjordania.
Militant Arab factions, enraged
at reports that the royal commits
sion will recommend that the Holy
Land be split into three separate
States-Jewish, Arab and a neu-
tral corridor under British man
date-organized for trouble.
Their latest move was to order
formal dissolution of the Arab
high committee, which opposes
any further concessions to Jewish
colonists, SO that the British
could not place responsibility for
trouble on any one organization.
The high committee would then
contend that any orders were the
spontaneous outburst of the
aroused Arab masses.
Trouble was brewing within the
Arab nationaliSts own ranks, how
ever, which strengthened the Bri-
tish governments efforts to main
tain order. Political strife was
said to have split the Arab nation
alist front over the question of fu-
ture policy.
The British royal commission
which arrived in the Holy Land
last Armistice Day to find a solu-
ton for bloody disorders that
have taken hundreds of lives, will
submit its recommendations to
the league of nations mandate
commission.
The commission is attempting
to find solution in keeping with
a 1917 promise Of the late LORD

wedding breakfast? There will be
only about two dozen guests.

make it really a breakfast. Some
thing such as melon and chicken
mince with hashed cream pota-
toes or scrambled eggs and sau-
age, buttered hot breads, break
fast coffee Cmeaning coffee in big
cups with sugar and cream, and

RETAIL CHAINS
UP 1,439 IN YEAR

Post-depresSion increase in the
number of retail chains in the
United States is measured in a new
chain store directory just issued
by the brokers division of the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards.
The new directory lists the head
quarters Of every retail chain hav.
ing three or more outlets and
gives the number Of units in each
chain. It finds that there are
$3.50 retail chains, as compared
with 800 last year.
This gain Of i,439 during the
year has been almost enough to
replace the depression snrinkage.
The divisions chain store directory
of 1880 carried the headquarters
addresses of 9.785 chains.

FOR HALF YEAR.
Gain Is q Per Cent
Above 1886 Level

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Savings,
building and loan associations
opened new investment accounts
for approximately $4,000 new per-
sons during the first half Of the
year. This is 81 per cent greater
than the number of shareholders
added during the first half of
1895.
The United States Building and
Loan League, source of this esti-
mate. indicates that simultane-
ously the number of accounts
closed out for the period decreased
by nearly 10000 or ~ per cent.
FIRST SUCH DECLINE
This is the first half year in
which the number of closed &C.
counts has decreased as COM
pared with the same period the
year before" commented Harold
T. Donaldson, Lansing, Mich,
president of the league.
THUS the dwindling Of share
holders needs for their savings
and the steady increase in pub
lie familiarity with the savings
and loan institutions investment
qualities are alike reflected in
this figure"
EARLY MONTHS BEST
The months which showed con-
spicuouS increases in new share
holders, as compared with the
same months the previous year,
were January, February, April
and May, Mr.. Donaldson said.
He was particularly impressed
with the way the new Sharehold-
ers came into associations in Feb
ruary this year. This month is
usually considered a slack one,
as a reaction from an abnormally
large investment flow in January.
March had the fewest new &C.
counts opened Of any of the first
six months, but from that months
low Of $4,000 shareholders the
climb each month has been steady
and June brought in 48,255 new
accounts.

SPAN STATUES
ARE PUSHED

Additional funds for equestrian
statues at the Arlington Memorial
Bridge may be sought, it was in
dicated today in an announcement
by C. Marshall Finnan, director of
the National Capital Parks, that
contracts for the statues are to be
fesubmitted to the National Fine
Arts Commission and the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The contracts we're signed in
1881, calling for the construction
of two equestrian statues by Leo
Friedlander for $134,000 and two
others by James E. Frazier for a
similar amount. Both are New
York sculptorS.
Finnan's declaration followed a
conference in New York with the
Sculptors, in which it was asserted
that mounting costs of granite
made changes in the contract i'm
peratiVe.
The Friedlander statues would
be at the east end of the Arlington
Memorial Bridge, while the Frazier
statues are to be placed at the
east end of the Rock Creek and
Potomac approach.

result in prices to consumers in
excess Of those reasonably nee
eSsary, together with condition
payments to producers, to main
tain the domestic industry as a
whole and to make the produc-
tion of sugar beetS and sugar
cane as profitable as the produc-
ton Of the principal other agri-
cultural crops.
In order to protect the expan-
sion of markets for American
exports, recommend that no de-
crease be made in the share of
other countries in the total
quotas.
1t is also highly desirable to
continue the policy, which was
inherent in the JoneS-Costigan
act, of effectuating the principle
that an industry which desires
the protection afforded by a
quota system, or a tariff, should
be expected to guarantee that
it will be good employer. I
recommend, therefore, that the
prevention of child labor, and
the payment Of wages of not
less than minimum standards,
be included among the condi-
tions for receiving a Federal
payment.
Equitable Share
I recommend that adequate
provision be made to protect
the right of both new and old
producers of small acreages of
sugar beets and sugar-cane to
an equitable share of the
benefits offered by the program.
In this connection I suggest
also that you consider the ad-
visibility Of providing for pay
ments at rates for family-size
farms higher than those ap-
plicable to large operating
units.
