RAID

Ismailia, Feb. 11.

The Egyptian civil police here, some of whom were permitted by the British to carry rifles, ar- rested an unknown number of terrorists during the past 24 hours.

The raid by the Egyptian police was reliably described today as the largest of its kind so far. The number of persons arrested was said to be "considerable."

A similar raid was made early last week when the first group of terrorists 36 according to an official Egyptian source was arrested in Ismailia and taken to the Egyptian military camp at Kan- tara, half way between Ismailia and Port Said.

The latest raid was thought in j neutral quarters to be connected with last Saturday's meeting at General Sir George Ersitine, Commander of Abdel Hady Ghazaly Bey, the British troops in Egypt, and Syptian Governor of the Carial Zone whose jurisdiction extends over both the Port Spld and Ismailia areas.
