JERUSALEM TURMOIL

More Bloodshed And Fatalities

Disquieting Situation

London, Nov. 15. Yesterday morning's Incidents in Jerusalem which included the firing of shots at two Arabs in n Jewish suburb, both being wounded, one fatally, and the shooting in unother Jewish suburb of two Arabs, one of who was shot down and the second seriously wounded might give the impression of being in the nature of reprisals underinken by the more Irresponsible elements with the iden of taking the law inte their own honds.

Such an interpretation is not dis- credited in some well-informed cir cles in Jerusalem. It may be hoped that with the coming into force of the new regulations all sections of the population will remember that the suppression of disorder is the function of the authorities.

A second incident occurred to-day, two Arabs being slightly injured by stones and another dying from wounds. Later in the morning an Arab omnibus, passing through u Jewish suburb came under heavy fire, There Arab passengers, one man and two women, were fatally wounded. Two Jewish girls standing nearby were slightly wounded.-British Wireless.
