Fortification of the Western, Palestine, side of the Jordan River, from the Dead Sea to Beisan, is contemplated by the authorities, owing to disquieting reports from Transjordania, declares the Jerusalem correspondent of the “El Ahram,” Cairo publication.

Arab sources stated that Emir Abdallah, ruler of Transjordania, is enroute to Bagdad to visit-King Feisul, ruler of Hedjaz.
