STEADY PROGRESS
RESTORATION OF ORDER IN PALESTINE RAIDING GANGS NOW SMALL & SCATTERED. HAMPERED BY HOSTILITY OF VILLAGERS. . (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, April 24. The restoration of order in Palestine proceeds steadily, and such terrorist bands as still remain are small and scattered and avoid carefully any en-' counter with the military. Sniping still occasionally occurs, but terrorists activities are now much hampered by the recent captures of arms and munitions and by the growing hostility of the villagers toward the bandits who pillage the countryside on the pretext that they arc protecting the interests of the Arabs. In some regions, such as Jericho, there has been no shooting at all since March 28. when a military billet was sniped without any damage to the troops.
