Arabs Dissatisfied With Their Prospective Fate Under Peace Treaty. __ Christians and Mohammedans Join Hands Through Fear of Immigration of Russian Jews.
(Dom. Press Special.)
LONDON, March l5.-—There ls general dissatisfaction among the Arabs with what is expected will be their fate under the peace treaty. This may be the explana- tion of the reported Syrian declara- tion of independence. No official confirmation of that occurence has fbeenreceived but there is no dis- position here to cast doubt on the substantial accurancy of the press telegrams. . .
lt is suggested that it would be as well to withhold Judgment. a few days as to Emir Deisai's con- nection with the matter. He has shown himself a good friend of the Allies and It is thought that it ls quite possible he may have to ‘arc- quiesce temporarily in a move- ment which he could not otherwise
The Arabs have been seriously disturbed at the course which events have been taking. They have strongly objected to the con- version of the Emir Deisals shad- owy friendly interest, which France has traditionally taken in Syrina affairs, ifrto a very active protectorate at the prospect of the establishment of a Zionist statein Palestine. Recently the Christian and Mohammedan inhabitants of Jerusalem have joined hands in an agitation against handing over the country to the nationalist party wich forms only a small minority of the population. Thei-r fears seem to have been aroused not -by the wellesta-blished Jewish popul- ation but by the prospect of exten- sive immigration of Russian JGWa who would seek to crowd them off

PARIS, March 15.—Prince Frold- rich Wilhelm, elder son of the Crown Prince, in a candidate for the throne and is expected to be proclaimed Emperor, George Blum, special correspondent of Le Journ- al, telegraphs from Berlin. This decision was formulated at a fam- ily council presided over by Prince Adalbert and is supported by Prl-uce Eital Friederlch.
The plot for the restoration ol the monarchy has been hatched in Berlin by Ludendorff and Haiferich who have been in close communi- cation with Potsdam. The Doeber- i-tz and Zosseus brigades, as well as the famous iron Divlsjml from the Baltic States, form the nucleus of the reactionary forces and are ready to fight for the re-establisit- ment of the tnonarchy.
The triumph on the reactlonaries would mean annulment of the peace treaty and probably the re
opening of the war.
