PALESTINE UNDER BRITAIN.
MANDATE PROCLAIMED.
CEREMONY IN JERUSALEM. ELABORATE PRECAUTIONS. By Telegraph—rrecs Association—Copyright. A. and N.Z. CAIRO. Sept. 12. A message from Jerusalem states that the proclamation of the British mandate for Palestine passed ofc' without incident, thanks to elaborate precautions throughout the country. The High Commissioner, Sir Herbert Samuel, took the oath in the Council Hall, formerly a German hospital, in the presence of a brilliant assembly. He expressed the hope that the British regime would mark an Arab and Jewish revival, and that when Britain laid down her trust she would leave Palestine populous, prosperous, and self-governing, and worthy of the greatest epochs of the past. A strike of drivers of conveyances nearly upset the transport of guests, but the Government threatened to cancel the strikers' licenses and successfully averted the danger.
