The British cabinet will take up the question of disorder-ridden Palestine probably tomorrow, it was learned today. Only a week ago today, the government ordered fresh levies to Palestine and appointed Lieut. Gen. John G. Dill as generalissimo of military forces there.

A report by High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope concerning the outcome of last-minute negotiations with Arab leaders will be considered by the Cabinet, says the Morning Post.

The Daily Mail declared in a Jerusalem dispatch that all preparations for martial law have been completed even to the very printing of the proclamation and assignment of temporary army commissions for civilians.

It was reliably learned that there is no foundation to a report that Sir Arthur will come here soon to report to the Cabinet on the 22-week-old disorders in the Holy Land.
