Today, the big steamer President Arthur of the American Palestine line sails for the Holy Land. Passengers, six hundred of them on the first trip, will land as near to Jerusalem as Milwaukee is to Chicago, and much nearer. That, perhaps, is the first distinctly Jewish steamship that ever crossed the ocean. It will be strictly "Kosher," which means that all food will be selected and prepared, in accordance with the laws of Moses.

(International News Service.) -Brig. Gen. William Mitchell today praised the Hearst newspapers for their signal service to the country in giving publicity to the aviation situation.

"The Hearst newspapers and Arthur Brisbane," General Mitchell said, "have done much for the country. Others are just now getting into line and seeing the necessity of an air force. Mr. Hearst was at least four years ahead of every one else in his vision on this situation."

Form-er Premier Ramsay MacDonald is about to return to Sir Alexander Grant the famous gift automobile and its endowment, which was placed at the former premier's disposal by the Scottish biscuit maker during the Labor administration. In some quarters this is taken as significant of MacDonald's determination to leave nothing undone that may help to hold his position as leader of the Labor party.

(By Universal Service.) Complete vindication for Brigadier General William Mitchell, demoted for his fearless exposure of America's air defense before the House Aircraft investigation, was found in a summary of the ttstimony made public today by Representative Florlan Lampert of Wisconsin, chairman of the committee. He said: General Mitchell was the outstanding witness before the committee. Hardly anyone could fall to appreciate his earnest desire to benefit the American people and also to realize that he was doing what he considered a duty with the expectation of discipline which seems to have been meted out to him. As to deficiencies in equipment nd number of personnel and lack of defense against aircraft he seems to have been thoroughly vindicated. TESTIMONY LAUDED.

The directness of his testimony was refreshing to members of committee when compared to seeming restraint on the part of so large a number connected with the air services.
