German Propaganda

London, May 1.

In Palestine for the last few days, the West Yorkshire Regiment has been conducting a careful search of Belt Rima village for arms and ammunition belonging to terrorists. The total arms found amounted to 37 rifles, one shot-gun and 1,100 rounds of rifle ammunition.

Although the search took place quietly and without any incident, the German radio in Arabic has invented stories of appalling atrocity by the troops, thus following up last week's invention of incidents in Jerusalem which local listeners knew well had never taken place.—Wireless through Reuter.
