The War Office announced today the recall from Palestine of two brigades of the British expeditionary force sent last Fall to quell Arab disturbances.

There is no intention of bringing Lieut.-Gen. John Greer Dill, commander-in-chief of the Palestine military forces, back to England “presently,” it was stated.

Recall of the troops leave in Palestine only two infantry brigades. It was stated that these ultimately will be placed under the British Egyptian command, although they will be permanently stationed in Palestine, cooperating with the Royal Air Force there.
