JERUSALEM, November 30.
Twenty-five Arab leaders, representing 45 villages and 70,000 Arabs, meeting at the home of Fakhry Bey, told the correspondent of Reuters that the behaviour of the British troops had been exemplary. They denied foreign allegations of British atrocities. The meeting declared that the Arab terrorists under the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem were guilty of acts of barbarism. These terrorists had killed more Arabs than had fallen in fighting against the troops, according to the meeting.
