Ar&ns—J or dan frontier, X had some difficulty in understand

matter appeared to be of some urgency and as it was difficult
to make further enquiries here owing to the visit of the
Iraq delegation, I telegraphed the substance of the not® to
His Majesty’s High Commissioner for Trans~, T or dan,
The High Commissioner ha® now communicated to me the
substance of a report from which it appears that about that
time Hawwaf al Awaji committed two raids, firstly a raid
at Ashr&r Wmt of Aauf ©gainst Jarad falad Rubaiya of the
Bowel tat and s econdly a raid on the deni Atiya which took
place on April 6th in Trans-Jord&n territory Weat of Mudawara.
It would appear that before starting on the second raid Xawwaf
restored the loot token from Jarad Walad Rubaiya in the
first raid, which would appear to be that referred to in
Sheikh Yussuf Tasinis note.
At the request of Hi© Majesty's High Commissioner
for Trans-Jordan, t have the honour to record a formal protest
in respect of the second raid and to request that the necessary
