Whereas Britain weathered a general strike without a single loss of life, the recent disturbance in Palestine must go down to history as an orgy of throat-cutting, mutilations, and sudden deaths. Captain Frcderiek Partridge, who was chief of police immediately after Allenby’s capture of Jerusalem, gives some interesting sidelights on the precise value of a man’s life in those parts, and incidentally the recent prodigality of murders in Palestine. When he undertook to keep law and order he found that rifles were sold successfully to the Arabs only by a practical demonstration of their long-range man-kill-ing power.
