PALESTINE.
PROCLAMATION OF MANDATE. PASSES WITHOUT DISTURBANCE. (Received 13, 1.25 p.m.) Cairo, Sept. 12. A message from Jerusalem states that the proclamation of the mandate passed off without incident, thanks to the elaborate precautions throughout the country. The High Commissioner, the Rt. Hon. Sir Herbert Samuel, took the oath in the council hall, formerly a German hospital, in the presence of a brilliant assembly, expressing the hope that the British regime would mark an Arab-Jewish revival. When Britain laid down her trust she would leave Palestine populous, prosperous, selfgoverning, and worthy of the greatest epochs of her past. A strike of drivers of conveyances nearly upset the transport of guests. The Government threatened to cancel the strikers’ licenses and successfully averted the danger.—(A. and N.Z.)
