SHOTS FIRED IN SAFED
TWO PEOPLE INJURED,
DOCTOR IN SERIOUS CONDITION.
(British Official Wireless.) (United Press Association.)
(By Electric Telegraph— Copyright) RUGBY, December 18. In the House of Commons, Dr Shiols (Parliamentary Under-secretary for India) confirmed the report that Dr Berkoritz was shot at and wounded on December 3 at Safed, in Palestine, and that his condition was serious. He added that 10 minutes later, at the same place, an Arab Customs officer was shot at and wounded. The British Government was satisfied that the Palestine Government was capable of maintaining order in that country, but it was, of course, impossible to guarantee in Palestine, or elsewhere, that isolated cases might not occur of offences against life or property.
