For Palestine Typist Who Became Sultan's Bride: Rumours Denied

THE Jerusalem, Aug, 10.

NEVEN Arab terrorists were killed and one wounded in a sharp engagement with British troops near Jenin this afternoon. One soldier was slightly wounded.

Royal Corps of Signals linesmen were attacked while repair- ing a telephone wire. They summoned aid; troops of the Loyal Regiment were rushed to the scene and trapped the Arabs who, however, continued firing.

During the past few days terrorists have shown increased activity, and are now attacking villagers who refuse to aid them.

Rigorous measures, however, are now being adopted by the military authorities and police in Palestine to prevent the rebels from putting their plans into effect.

While an intensive search for hidden stores of arms and ammunition is proceeding in the hilla, in Jerusalem and other centres, pedestrians are continually being stopped and searched for bombs, revolvers and other lethal weapona.

The fine work of Palestine detectives in tracking down Com- munist agitators was crowned recently by the discovery of the "territorial headquarters" of the Communist Party in the north- ern quarter of Tel Aviv.

The direct connection of this organisation with Moscow, where instructions concerning the disturbances have been re- ceived was established by the finding of documents from the Department of Near East Propaganda in Moscow.

The papers included the counterfoils of receipts for large sums of money.

Some of the documents were

written in a secret code and others In inviable ink.

Information obtained resulted in further searches and arrests at mid- night, the suspects including n gir' of 10.

There were several "surprise" arrests of people hitherto unsuspect- ed of any .connection with Com- munisnt. This

nction, it is believed, has dealt

a strong blow against Com- munist incitement which obviously has been partly responsible for t recent intensification of terrorism.

Incidents to-day included the throwing of a bomb at the house of the Mayor of Bethlehem, a sniping attuck on the military camp at Tulkarem and the ring of shots at patrols in the Jenin, Birch and Latrun arcas.

Died In Sight Of Homeland

Manila, P. I., Aug. 20. Pedro Napal knew he was dy- ing, as doctors in the United States had told him so. He wanted to return to his native Philippines to die.

When Uncle Sam began send- ing Filipinos back to the Islands under the Repatriation Act, Pedro applied for passage and boarded the President Lin- coln with 120 of his country.. men

The ship arrived at the breakwater in Manila Bay and stopped for the customary quarantine. Pedro gazed at the low skyline of the Philippine Capital and at the mountains rising up behind.

Then death closed his eyes. A few minutes later the ship docked and his fellow repatriates walked their native soil.—United Press.

HEAT HUMIDITY

AND

HEADACHE

DON'T let Headaches lower your powers of resistance. Two or three 'ASPRO' Tablets, taken with a drink of water, will banish most Head- aches in a few minutes. It's a mistake to think that because it's hot and humid you must endure a Headache. Even the most healthy suffer at times; beat, sun-glare, humidity and sleeplessness all help to reduce physical resis- tance, with the result that a Headache attacks you. ‘ASPRO' will quickly clean it up before it has time to sap your vitality, make you listless, irritable. nervy and out of sorts. ASPROarelieves in a perfectly soothing way, and is not harmful, because it is a pure medicine, containing no questionable or dangerous antidotes. Keep ‘ASPRO' in the house to check Colds, Influenza, Rheumatism, Dengue, Neuritis, etc. It is safe insurance against everyday summer ills; it gives quick, certain relief and does not harm the heart..
