Africa and the whole of Ara- bia, were on the verge of revuit. The Emir has been an opponent of the Balfour declaration aud the British mandate over Palestine since its inception. He has the ability to swing the Arabs into action on the plea that the British and the Jews must be forced out of the Holy Land and adjacent territories. He holds the allegiance of many powerful sheiks. ! Reports persist here that Colonel T. E. Lawrence is again in the Arabian desert. British officials have denied that he is in Palestine, but there has been no denial or confirmation of Cairo despatches that he has been called by the col- onial office and has hurriedly left, under a disguise, for conferences with the great sheiks of the sand plains, who in the war days per- mitted him to organize them into a cohesive body that successfully, as a powerful ally of the British, broke the backbone of the Turkish offensive in the Near East. Colonel Lawrence's movements, in the reports filtering through from the areas disturbed by the rioting that started more than a week ago in Jerusalem, are again cloaked in them ystery that sur- rounded him during the entire campaign of which he was the lead- er.
