Holy Land in Turmoil Over Jewish Immigration; Britain Sends Troops Danger of General Uprising Endangers Long Mandate Granted by League Nations; No Peaceful Solution Seen (Editor's Note: Martial law Is ordered for the Holy Land as Great Britain strives to end the terrorism of the Arab's war against Jewish im migration. Edward J. Nell, Associated Press war correspondent, on his way from covering the Italo-Ethioplan conflict, spent two months In the Holy Land with both British and Arab forces and In the following story gives a picture of the Arab-Jewish background as gathered first hand.) By KWKAlin J. NEIL Associated Press Sinff Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 1. (AP) Nine teen years have passed since Field Marshal Allenby stormed Jerusalem with British and Arab forces, bring ing Turkish domination of centuries to an end. Today martini law cul minates the 16 years of Britain's man date over the Holy Land. Outwardly the world war might still be on there. Troops, some 16,000 of Britain's 'finest regiments augmented by thou sands more arriving dally, with the finest of eqxiipment; hundreds of machine guns, field pieces and squad rons of airplanes, are striving to make the mandate workable; They are fighting not only a com parative handful of desperate Arabs, raiding from the barren, rock-strewn hlllB and the desert country around the Dead Sea, but to preserve as well Britain's empire chain through the Near East Into Africa. General t prising Feared Overhead hongs the danger of ' a general uprising of the millions of Moslems of the cast, and particularly of the dreaded Bedouins of Trans Jordanla, where money judicially spread among the chieftains has kept 100,000 of the world's fiercest fight ers on the sidelines. Worse still Is the threat to Great Britain of another humiliation in the east to match the loss of prestige suffered In tho failure to stop Italy in Ethiopia. She may be called before the League of Nations at any time for an accounting of the mandate given her 16 years ago. Today the country la in greater disorder than ever be fore. Martial law Is the new law, terror the normal state of all lnhaoltants. Tw Mill Trtbmifi w.mt a" LADIES!

But tills one. which has gone on 24 weeks, is a fight to the death In surround ings now so bitter that leaders on both sides agree there Is no peaceful solution. This uprising started spontaneonsly, without leadership. There was a funeral In Jaffa In April, and Arabs claim that slurring remarks from the sidewalks as the cortege passed start ed a fight. Before the day was over ten Jews and two Arabs had been killed. The Arabs closed their shops all over Palestine, more as a protection against what might follow than any thing else. It was decided this was a time to fight to the death. When Arabs sought to reopen their stores, they were told to wait. They did. Then came the formation of a strike committee and decision not to allow anyone to reopen. Great Britain refused to deal with the Arabs until order was restored and the strike called off. The Arabs said they'd die first. Italy, Germany Blamed Britain hints that Italy and Ger many have had hands In strengthen ing the resistance of the natives, since they now have no visible me-.ns of support. But since the famous Balfour declaration in 1917, looking with favor on establishment of a na tional home In Palestine, Britain's way there has been trouble. All the time the Arab has raged against the promise Britain gave In , 101P that In return for Arab partlci pation In the world war, freedom would be his. Today the Jews number 400,000 In Palestine, but own about one-third of the tillable land. The Arabs, num bering 700,000, live mostly in pov erty. Most of the land has been sold to the Jews by wealthy absentee Arab owners and the Arab peasants who worked the land for oenturiea have been dispossessed.

(&) An elk massacre kept secret for months by fear "guerilla warfare might crop out against the killers" came to light today with an an nouncement that Information would be laid before a federal grand jury. Evidence will Include motion pic tures of 31 dead elk. their crushed bodies in a ghastly pile at the bot tom of an 8 00 -foot cliff. United States forest service officials said. State Game Commissioner Newell B, Cok said charges would be sought against seven stockmen for the al leged Btampedlng of the animals last December over the cliff on North Horn mountain In Emery county. In wild south central Utah. Elk which did not leap to their death were shot at the top of the cliff and their bodies left to rot. Cook asserted, adding: "The purpoa of the msssacre, the worst game atrocity ever committed in this state, was not to secure meat. "The motive was much more shameful to kill animals accused of consuming forage needed by the stockmen. "But these animals were killed on forest land, on the public grazing domain. Stockmen as well as sports men were stunned by the brutal deed. That's why we've kept it secret so long we didn't want any guer.Ua warfare to crop up against the kill ers." Information gathered in the nine month Investigation has been placed with T. M. Talbert, forest service at torney, for presentation to a grand Jury, Cook said. Penalty for the of fense Includes a heavy fine and loss of grazing privileges. LETTUCE WORKERS IN NEW STRIKE DISORDER WASTONVILLE, Cal.. Oct. I.
