PALESTINE PARTITION

GENEVA SANCTION. [British Official Wireless!. RUGBY, September 15. The Palestine Committee of the Council of the League of Nations has been instructed to prepare a draft resolution, for submission to the next meeting of the Council. It is understood that the resolution will give the British Government authority to proceed to work out details of a scheme of partition for Palestine, with the co-operation, if possible, of the Jews and Arabs. JERUSALEM, September 15. In disobedience of the regulations, and evading police searchers who anticipated the happening, a Jewish youth blew the “Day of Atonement’’ on a ram’s horn at prayers at the Wailing Wall, during the three minutes’ silence for the Muezzin’s call from the minaret. The worshippers were overjoyed, but the police surrounded and arrested the offender.

JEWS IN GERMANY. BERLIN, September 15. Recalling the mediaeval edict compelling Jews to wear a distinguishing yellow garb, two benches, painted yellow, have been erected in Kurfuerstendamm, Berlin’s most fashionable street. Others elsewhere in the city are marked “Jews only.” Aryans are not allowed to use them.
