train and three locomotives were
damaged heavily and Their

Casualties thus far reported were
a British soldier killed and one

believed dead, and two wounded;
two Palestine railroad men killed,
six wounded. The Haifa reports
said one dead was found beneath

All the signs of wartime activity
could be seen in Palestine, al
though the people were outwardly
calm. Armed patrols searched
automobile riders. Frontier posts
were strengthened. Searchlights
and barbed wire entanglements
guarded strategic points and pa
trolls were on the alert in various
towns.
Outbreaks conceded with a visit

The Arabs protest any rise in
J e w i S h immigration, claiming
Palestine is a Holy Land. British
officials sitting on the lid intensi-
fled their campaign against ter
rorists and it was believed that
police and possibly army counter
action against the latest outbreaks
would be swift.
Observers believed last night S
violence meant that Jewish ter
rorist elements had strengthened
themselves considerably in Pales-
tine. Relations repeatedly have
been firmed between the Irgun
Svai Leumi and the Haganah, both
militaristic groups.
It was reported that a party of
armed men, dressed in uniforms
and identified as Jews, held up a
train halfway between LYDIA and
Jerusalem shortly after midnight.
Some shots were fired.
