ARABS MASS ARMIES

SHOWING

ON PALESTINE BORDER TO QUEEN'S

Beirut, Oct. 9.-The Lebanese and Syrian Governments have ordered various units of their armies to mass along the Palestine border for a possible invasion of the Holy Land, and the first units already have started marching, it was announced tonight.

Abdul Rahman Azzam 'Pasha, Secretary-General of the Arab League Council now meeting in nearby Alleh, announced the massing of troops along the northern borders of Palestine. He told Lebanese reporters that the Egyptian Government was also ordering strong contingents of its army to move to Palestine's southern frontier.
