DEMONSTRATIONS IN BAGDAD
ENGLISH VISITORS THREATENED DOWN WITH ZIONISM. BAGDAD, February 11. Sir Alfred and Lady Mond, their daughter, Lady Erleigh, and eleven others, in order to avoid a threatening mob of 10,000, were forced to enter the city by a circuitous route after a journey across the desert froin Palestine. They were transferred into light motors, and drove to the British Residency undetected. The mob’s attitude was due to political propagandists declaring that _ Sir Alfred was coming to introduce into Iraq Zionist principles based on the Palestine regime. Students held processions in the streets, shouting; “Down with Zionism.” They were quickly reinforced by thousands of idlers and a sprinkling of natives and officials, and stopped other motors and robbed the occupants. Mounted police dispersed the demonstrators, several fairing injured.
