CIVIL AND MILITARY OFFICIALS PAY HONOR TO AARON AARONSOHN Jerusalem Paper Comments on Noble Work of Jewish Hero on Anni- versary of His Death. 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 Governor, Colonel Brantley and Col. The large room was Bentwich. There were crowded to capacity. 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."
