The London press reports the arrival today in Palestine of an American army hospital unit equipped more elaborately than any similar unit in the Middle East. Twenty-four specialists in addition to the complement of regular physicians, dentists and nurses, are attached to it.
The hospital which will be set up will have a capacity of 1,000 beds. The patients will be housed in thirty buildings, each of four wards. In addition, adjoining buildings will be erected for special departments including administration, surgery, X-ray departments and laboratory. The hospital will have its own water supply.
