PALESTINE BANDITS
ATTACKS ON CONVOYS TRAGIC CLASHES RESULT JERUSALEM, July lO Bandits fired a fusillade of shots at another Jewish bus near Nablus to-day. The driver lost control, and the vehicle capsized, one passenger being fatally injured and five wounded. British troops opened fire on the Arabs, killing four and capturing ono. Bandits again attacked the same convoy near Tulkeram, but the escort repulsed them. Anther convoy was attacked at Jenin. Two British soldiers were wounded before the assailants were repulsed. Arabs are roaming the countryside and demanding money from towns with the threat of death to the. authorities. This may range a mass of the population against lawless elements, who are Syrian Arabs armed with French rifles, for which they lack ammunition. They desire to buy weapons for which local ammunition is available.
