The added gifts of Mr. Straus awl his sons Mr. David A. Brown declared, constituted one of the most inspiring scenes he has ever witnessed in hu experience in philanthropic work. “The beloved philanthropist seemed to have aged ten years since the new< of the slaughter of the Jews in Pales tine. It must be borne in mind that Mr. Straus has consecrated himself to the Jewish development of Pales tine and the establishment of friendly relations there between the Jews and the Arabs. He has given up many luxuries, cut dearly into his capital and reduced his personal living ex penses to a minimum in order that he might be able to give generously to Palestine in addition to giving to so many other humanitarian causes.’ “One of his first great benefaction? to Palestine occurred shortly after the outbreak of the World War, when he sold his private yacht in order U obtain funds to shelter, clothe and feed Jewish orphans in that country. Later Mr. Straus disposed of his fa mous trotting-stable and turned the proceeds over to Palestine Welfare stations. This was followed by the sale of his green houses, so that be could give more money to Palestine. And Mrs. Nathan Straus gave her jewels to Hadassah to be sold for the benefit of the medical work of that organization in Palestine.” LONDON HOLDS MEMORIAL SERVICES FOR PALESTINE VICTIMS London (J.
