WAR TALK IN

ARABIA /'

Britain Watching Developments

CAIRO, November 15.

Another little war in Arabia is imminent with the advance of Yemen' troops .under Imam Yehia beyond Néjran into the territory of King Ibn Saud, ruler of the more important State of Saudi-Arabia, formerly known as Hedjaz and Nejd.

Ibn Saud has sent an ultimatum to the invader to adhere to the treaties and withdraw.

The British Commissioner at Aden is watching .developments. A few years ago Britain had to take air action against Yemen troops for en-croaching on tribes under the Aden Protectorate. If much fighting de-velops it may have repercussions on the Arabs in Palestine and other man-dated territories.
