KILLED BY ARABS
. TWO TRAVELLERS IN IRAK Two young globe-trotters, Mi Fisher, an American, and Herr Rudolf, a German, met their death al the hands of Bedouin’s near Diwaniyah, on the Euphrates, about 120 miles south of Bagdad, early last month. The travellers, who were paddling down the river in a collapsible canoe, had tied up their boat for the night when,' according to the dying declaration made by Herr . Rudolf in Diwaniyah Hospital, some Arabs approached them and demanded matches. Immediately afterward shots were fired. Mr Fisher, shot through the head, fell into the river and his body has not yet been found. Herr Rudolf, who was wounded in the abdomen, was found a few hours later by other Arabs, who took him to Diwaniyah, where he died soon after reaching the hospital. The American State Department has asked the Iraqui Government to take vigorous measures to bring Mr Fisher’s murderers to justice.
