SPECIAL SERVICE.
Picked Body To Be Sent To Palestine. AIRCRAFT-CARRIER EN ROUTE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received 11.30 a.m.) RUGBY, September 10. A picked body of 100 ex-servicemen, who were recently recruited in London, is to go to Palestine for special service. The men will be drafted into the British section of the Palestine police force, which is composed of British Jews and Arabs. The bulk of the ex-service men for Palestine are under 25 years of age, and 75 per cent of them have recently left the forces. A great majority have served in the Brigade of Guards. The Jerusalem correspondent of the "Daily News" says the bodies of massacred Jews are being exhumed at Hebron with a view to obtaining definite evidence in regard to the alleged atrocities by Arabs. Naval detachments have replaced the Devons at Ghaza and Jaffa. The aircraft-carrier Courageous is about to leave for Malta.
