Lord Melchett arrived in Palestine today and measures to insure his safety were ordered when a rumor was spread that Arabs were planning to attack him.
Lord Melchett, who is accompanied by Lady Melchett, arrived in Palestine after a triumphant tour to leading European centers in the interests of the World Maccabee Union of which he is the Honorary president.
Lord and Lady Melchett were met at the Syrian frontier by a Maccabee delegation. They proceeded at once to their estate in Migdal where they will remain until Saturday, before proceeding to Jerusalem.
From the Syrian border they were escorted up to Rosh Pinah by mounted members of the Maccabee organization.
Receptions in their honor are being arranged by various groups throughout Palestine.
