Dor today for bodies and survivors
among 1,77l wandering, homeless
Jewish refugees hurled overheard
yesterday when the 11,885-ton
steamer Patria exploded and cap
sized.
Most of those aboard managed to
swim ashore following the unex-
planned blast, but authorities feared
the loss of life was heavy. The refu-
gees, who had sought Illegally to
settle in Palestine, had been placed
aboard the Patria for transportation
to some other British colony for the
wars duration.
Waiting Safe Passage.
They had been packed into the
ship, waiting to begin their voyage
as soon as authorities felt conditions
in the Mediterranean to be reason
ably safe.
The refugees, mostly from Austria,
Slovakia, Bohemia, Hungary and
Rumania, had been here since No
vember 81, when they arrived aboard
two ships identified as the Pacific
and the Milos from Black Sea port.
British authorities were reported
to have found these ships unSea-
worthy and had arranged for their
transfer to another place, since
Jewish immigration to Palestine has
been forbidden since June, 1889,
when the British Colonial Secretary
reported an organized attempt to
thwart the usual immigration quota.
This was the second tragedy to
overtake refugees seeking to enter
Palestine. In August, 1889, the 1000
ton ship Parita, with 870 Jews aboard
and manned by an all-Jewish crew,
ran aground at nearby Tel Aviv after
futile efforts to enter various Med
iterranean ports. The Parita's pas
sengers were interned.

Measures Include Placing
Of 100000 Troops On
A Combat Footing

thoritative Yugoslav quarters declar-
ed today they had taken all precau-
lions, including the placing of 700,-
900 troops on a combat footing, to
protect the country should Italy en-
ter the war.
These sources said anti-British
demonstrations in Italy confirmed
the Yugoslav governments fears
that Italy would fight on the side
Of Germany. In this event, they
said, both Yugoslavia and Greece
would be in immediate danger of in
vasion.
Yugoslav government circles
dropped the appearance of outward
calm of recent weeks based upon
fascist assurances that Italy would
press no territorial claims against
Yugoslavia.
Reliable sources reported:
Strongest concentrations of Yugo-
slav troops are along the Italian and
German frontiers in the north, but
the Adriatic coast down to Italian
held Albania has not been neglected.
Additional divisions have been
sent to the border of Hungary,
through which Yugoslavs have long
feared Germany might drive into
southeastern Europe.
Work has been intensified on all
border Notifications.
