Palestine Nuptial
Events Oddities to
-'American Visitors
Bjr AnaocUtrd Preu)
Jerusalem, Oct. 15 The marriage
customs of Palenstine demonstrated
to-do merchant, are among the most
interesting celebration of this an
cient city.
No person who is privileged to
witness one will ever forget either
the gorgeous costumes displayed or
the thrill of the music and dancing
indulged in by the guests.
Not only the respective families
of the bride and bridegroom but also
the entire neighborhood takes part
in the merrymaking-which generally
lasts for seven days.
The celebration begins always on
Monday and the wedding ceremony,
itself, always occurs at dawn on the
following Sunday.
Invitations are sent only to those
from whom presents are expected.
However, any -person may attend
who' wishes. Presents-are always in
the nature of foodstuffs such as rice,
meat, 3ugar, coffee, flour, butter and
vegetables. These are necessary to
provide food for the hundreds of
guests who flock to the bridegroom'3
house daily to take part in the sing
ing and dancing.
Saturdays bring the climax to all
joy making. If the bridegroom's fa
ther is of even moderate circumstne-
es, professional musicians are hired
for the day.
Men and women in Palestine do
not mix together, often, due to the
general belief that women are not
mentally worthy of association. Con
sequently it becomes necessary to en
tertain women separately .
On Saturday evening at eight
o'clock there takes place the shaving
of the bridegroom, a feature of the
entertainment. Surrounded by scores
of men and women who keep up in
cessant maddening yells, which may
he heard for a mile around, the bar
ber undertakes the operation.
This done, a procession is formed
proceeding to the church with people
marching abreats. At the head
come eight kawases (guards) follow
ed by ten children carrying in their
hands palm branches and long can
dies lighted. Immediately after hob
ble four priests dressed in their
church robes and singing psalms,
The bridegroom, accompanied by his
father and the best man, come next,
trailed by 200 or 300 men. At the
end of the procession come the wo
men and children.
A similar procession having start
ed at about the same time from the
bride's place, the two groups meet at
some appointed place and proceed
jointly to the church. All along the
streets men and women, wakened by
the noise, lean out of their window

Turk Guerillas
Terrorize Greek
Troopers in Field
With the Greek Army In the Field,
Sivri-Hissar, Anatolia, Oct. 15 Ro
ving groups of mounted bandits,
known as ChesfasJ are terrorizing
the inhabitants of ' the Turkioh vil
lages, and murdering soliders of the
Greek army.
One band of these desperadoes at
tacked a Greek motor ambulence re
turning from the front and killed the
wounded, numbering four. Similar
attacks on Greek supply trucks have
been taking place for weeks. The
Greek army has lost a score of tel
egraph linemen and mnny chauffeurs
-nre tnmyiu-' ue mui.ii -vum-Bin,
as they haven't sufficient troops to
leave in the rear to cope with these
highwaymen. .
These "bad men of the East,' as
they are called, are continually cut
ting the Greek army's telephone lines
and hindering the transport of mu
nitions. While it is clear that these Chetas
are not actively competed with Kc
inal's army, the Sreek authorities as
sert that they have the sanction and
cooperation of the Turkish Jeader.
Many of 'he members of the trine
who have been caught by the ureeKs
hsve acknowledged that they were
once in the Turkish Nationalist ar
my. Indeed, it has been said that
Mustapha Kemal's army had its ori
ginlargely in the Cheta bands.
The' depredations of the Chetas are
not. confined to one area, but extend
Vil over Asia Minor. At Idmid re
cent'y, they pillaged villages and
then burined them. An official of the
Baedad railroad told the Associated
Press correspondent that he had lost
onganus.' : .
Travel in any part of the interior
of Asia Minor is at the peril of one's
life. Chetas are encountered at ev
ery point where mcmbe'rs of the band
think it likely they will nna piunaer.
The Chetas usually ride on small po
nies which they steal from the coun
tryside. They are . daring riders,
clever marksmen, and know no fear.
When recently the correspondent

the Sakaria (Sangarius) river, in"

do so only under guard of Greek Jl
