According to the last census there
were 8,000 Jews in Denmark, or about
4% of the whole population. Of these
4.000 lived in Copenhagen. During
the war, there was a stream of Jew-
ish immigration to Copenhagen, and
the old figure is now probably doubled
or trebled. The new Jewish influx
has attracted the attention and in-

giving the newcomers and their prob-

JERCSALEM—A Memorial Serv-
ice was held in the Leniel-School,
Jerusalem, in honor of Aaron Aaron-
sohn, who was drowned more than a
year ago while flying from London
to Paris. The service was attended
by many representatives of the Ad-
ministration, including the Nlilitary

eloquent addresses by 1f r. Ben Ye-
huda, Dr. Eder, and Mr. Ab. Gold-
berg.
"It was easy to be eloquent about
Aaron Aaronsohn, whose services to
the British army in Palestine during
the war were only surpassed by what
he accomplished in the cause of
science, and particularly agricultural
science in Palestine before the war.
At the time of his death Lord Allen-
by paid Aaronsohn a very remark-
able tribute, acknowledging the
army's indebtedness to his prodigious
efforts when, in charge at G. II 0. of
a group of men responsible for all
intelligence from behind the Turkish
lines, he accomplished miracles. He
himself spent notch of his time on
very dangerous ventures in enemy
territory: in fact Ile was the beau
ideal intelligence officer. It was al-
most entirely thanks to hint and his
intricate knowledge of the country
that the British army was able to
cross the Sinaitic Peninsular, his re-
ports on the whereabouts of water
and the possible routes being inva-
riably accurate.
"As a Zionist Aaron Aaronsolm
was an enthusiast who never lost
sight of those essentials of success,
fair dealing and reasonableness. Ile
was no politician at all, but a states-
man of wide vision who understood
that to succeed Zionism must co-
onerate with, and win the friendship
of the Arab, leaving the Aral, more
prosperous and friendly than he
found him, instead of distrustful and
sore.
"Perhaps Aarensohn will be re-
membered longest for his work at
the Agricultural Experimental Sta-
tion near Zemerin, and his discovery
of white wheat."

than we were able to do in the smaller place.
This marks one more step in our forward progress.
Our intention is to have the best service stations and to

We have some comprehensive plans now under way for
enlarging and augmenting our mechanical service depart-
ments to take care of the rapidly growing number of
Reo owners.

delays but in the near future we hope to offer you service
facilities and equipment equal, if not superior, to any other
