Price for Loyal Leader

Jerusalem, Oct. 24.

Doubling the price which Great Britain has placed on his head, Abdul Razek, Aras rebel leader, today offered £1,000 for the head of Fahkhry Bey Nashashibi, the sole remaining Arab leader still opposing the rebellion against Britain.

All of the other Arab leaders who signified their willingness to stand by Britain and not engage in the rebellion have either been killed or have fled from the Holy Land.

Fakhry, who was wounded at Jaffa three months ago by an assassin, at present is in hiding at Mount Scopus, surrounded by guards.

"I accuse the ex-Grand Mufti, Hai Aminel Husseini of diverting a noble Arab revolt for his own selfish ends."

Fakhry alleged that the former Grand Muft's methods had resulted in anarchy in Palestine instead of leading to a moralistic revolt—United Press.
