Arabs unsuccessfully attempted to wreck a troop train conveying a battalion of the Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire regiment. They blew up two bridges on tho Jerusalem-Nebron road, and destroyed telephone wires and seriously wounded two Jews. Policemen and a platoop of Scots Fusiliers arrested the assailants. Five hundred Bethelehem Arabs stoned the police, who charged with batons and arrested four. Two police were wounded. Police pay has been increased 1/- a day. A bomb exploded near the lighthouse at Acre. Tho Arabs uro apparently being subsidised from abroad, because tho strikers’ funds were recently at a low ebb.
