Only the intense heat is keeping the British land, air, and tank forces from undertaking a so-called puni- tive expedition beyond the Irak frontier. The British forces, which numbered several thousand origi- nally with strong plane and tank support, have been doubled, accord- | ing to the latest dispatches from Jeddah.

Two of the instructors at the school were close-* ly examined by the police. Questions like, “Are you financed by the I. W. W. or do you get your money from Moscow?” were asked of the instructors. The instructors failing to satisfy the police with their replies, the students were marched to the local police- station. All the books at the school, and the wall-newspaper issued by the /stu- dents were confiscated by the police. After being held for two hours the workers were finally released, although not freed. Court action will be taken against them by the police, according tp all indications. The International Labor Defense took immediate steps to aid the ar- rested students.
