(By Canadian | Prod Leased Wire) Jerusalem, Sept. 5.--Moslem Arabs throughout the Holy Land and the bordering states are being called up- on by highly inflamatory propaganda to revolt and move against the gov- ernment of Palestine, Floods of this propaganda material were said here today to have emana- ted from Jaffa, Haifa, Egypt, Damas- cus, Beirut, and Aleppo and have been instrumental in the smouldering of renewed discontent which some re- gard as portentious. One of the proclamations among the Arabs heralded a "fighters' holy war" and called upon all Arabs fo help Arab insurgents in Palestine, whose condition was described in the blackest terms. Although Jerusalem was quiet to- day British troops continued their in- cessant clashes with bands of tribes- men who have penetrated the Pales- tine borders. One automobile which Jostarday attempted to cross Allen- by bridge from Trans-Jordania . to Palestine. was found to contain 14 rifles and 1,000 rounds of ammuni- tion. British military authorities immed- iately despatched armoured cars in- to Amman in an attempt to cut off the Palestine Arabs' source of arms and ammunition at its source. Reports persisted despite official denial that skirmishes with Bedouins have occurred near Beersheba in which six native Christians have been killed. Jews, who hailed the first procla- mation of the high commissioner, Sir John Chancellor, as aiding and abett- ing their cause, were not so joyful today over a 'second proclamation by the high commission which announced constitution' of special courts presided over: by British judges to try crim- inal' cases among both Jews: and Ar- abs growing out of the recent dis- turbances.

Aristide Briand of France today made one of the most notable speeches of his career before 'the assembly of the League of Nations, With all the eloquence for which he is famous, with his animated gestures and in a tone of intense earnestness he pleaded for the reign of peace. His declarations brought the as- sembly cheering to its feet. France had already signed the optional clause of the world court to which Great Britain and Canada announced their adhension this week. But ow- ing to a reservation the French sig- nature has not vet become effective. On this point M. Briand promised that before the conclusion of the present assembly he would re-open the question, He went further in connection with the general arbitration act and said he wished to see it extended to cover arbitration for all disputes. Raising his right hand, the French premier declared, "I solemnly pledge myself that when I return I shall do every- thing I can to have the French par- liament ratify the act." M. Briand did not say so specifi- cally but many who heard him inter- preted his statement as meaning that he would resign if he failed. The speaker warmly praised the work of the league. The results had completely answered the scepticism, irony and sarcasm with which its for- mation had been greeted. But the league stifl had -a grave. problem to solve, There was still a gap to fill.

But they were far from admitting it. The Westminster sport follows ers are much like the Hamilton fans, They cheer loud and long and they stick mainly to the local boys. It not only broke their hearts when they saw the ragging tacti-s of the winners in the dying min- utes of the game, but it broke the hearts of the Red Shirts them selves, and as the minutes ticked slowly away and the play remained in Westminster territory, ti- fac-s of the Salmon Bellies became as red as the sweaters they wore when their fr-ntic efforts failed to pro< duce the desired tally.
