(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Animosity of the Moslem Bedouin tribes towards Christians was checked by an action of the Transjordanian Government, despatches received from Amaan state.

Government agents discovered a plot of the Bedouin tribes Balka, Gali and Bnai Sacher to attack and kill their Christian neighbors. Measures were taken by the Government to prevent bloodshed. British aeroplanes were also used to insure order.
