The Jerusalem correspondent of Great Britain and the East reported today that active steps have been taken for the defense of strategic points along the Palestine coast although it is not believed that the Holy Land, for the time being, will become directly involved in hostilities.
Commenting on the general situation in Palestine, the correspondent said that “terrorism continues to have its fling, but the outbursts have become so sporadic and so minor in character that they can only be attributed to utter criminal callousness and depraved instincts of the persons or groups concerned.”
