Eugenjusz Bielinski, a native Pole who covered 20,00 kilometers of Europe and Asia Minor, in a successful attempt to go by automobile from Warsaw to Jerusalem, died in the French hospital here from injuries received in an accident with his automobile.
The trip was successful all the way along. However, two days after arriving in Palestine, on the road to Bethlehem, he met with an accident in which all the occupants of the car, including the owner, were injured.
Members of the Polish colony attended services held in the chapel of the French hospital.
