10,000 TROOPS GOING TO PALESTINE
MARTIAL LAW NECESSARY?
Britain Takes All Precautions
ARAB LEADERS NOW ADMIT SITUATION OUT OF HAND
London, Sept. 5.
The Daily Telegraph understands that reinforcements destined for Palestine total about 10,000 men, who are leaving Aldershot on September 11.
The force comprises twelve infantry battalions, four field companies of Royal Engineers, three companies of Royal Corps of Signals and three companies of Royal Army Service Corps.
This reinforcement will bring the British forces in Palestine to a total of 17,000 men, sufficient to allow the imposition of martial law, though it is hoped this step will not be necessary.
The Telegraph learns from Jerusalem that British troops yesterday reinforced the street patrols and pickets and barricades appeared in the streets.
Arab leaders admit the situation has got beyond
their control.-Reuter.

Irun is now a smoking mass of ruins. The last militiamen have crossed the French frontier, and all real resistance has finished. The insurgents, however, are still not in possession of the whole town, and are advancing prudently, fearing a trap. But for all practical purposes Irun is completely in their hands.
It is reported that bombardment of the Government's advance positions at San Sebas- tian has begun.
The rebels are massing troops to the north-east of the city and it is rumoured that it may surrender in order to avoid the horrors of street fighting-Reuter.
