Serious Situation Arising from Outrages on Nomad Tribes Baghdad, Jan. 2
All the inhabitants of Iraq are seething indignation at the atrocities perpetrated by the lender of a large force of We el Dowish, who, following a dispute over the construction of a police post at Nasiriyeh, recently concentrated 5,000 troops on the Iraq border.
Dowish recently carried out his third ferocious raid in six weeks Traq of harmless shepherds, slaughtering all including infants, driving off their cattle and leaving a miserable remnant of women to die of hunger.
News trickles across the desert too late for effective action by the Air Force, who recently have been watching the frontier very closely.
All the nomads are panic-stricken, including the great Anizah Tribe, who are scattered along the desert route to Syria.
The raids reveal the weakness of Ton Saud's regime, which, apparently, is impotent to control its former supporters, and unless immediate punitive measures are devised serious political consequences in Iraq are feared—Reuter, Beuizz, British Honduras, Dec. 30:—Colonel_ Lindbergh arrived here to-day from Guatemala in the course of his Central American "goodwill" fight—Reuter.
