Lisan, Jerusalem Arab newspaper, has published an article in praise of Nathan Straus, noted American philanthropist, who recently arrived in Palestine for a tour of the Holy Land. Mr. Straus’ coming, according to Lisan, has created as much stir among the Arabs as among the Jews, all peoples benefitting by his benefactions in Palestine, chief among which are pure milk stations and large contributions to the medical faculties of the country, both of which are under the direction of Hadassah, American Women’s Zionist Organization.
