A group of Arab workmen, formerly employed in an orange grove here, owned by a Jew, were looking for new jobs today.

The proprietor of the grove, who knows Arabic, was passing near the workers, and overheard them singing a ditty which, roughly translated, ran as follows: “The Mufti is our leader. He’ll drench Palestine with Jewish blood and give it to the Arabs.”
