MOHAMMEDAN RULE OF
1200 YEARS HAS ENDED
BRITISH CAPTURE OF JERUSALEM
BROUGIil ABOUT WITHOUT AR-
TILLERY BEING USED ON THE
HOLY PLACES -MORAL EFFECT
WILL BE GREAT.
The capture of Jerusalem by the
British forces marks the end, with
two brief interludes, of no more than
1200 years' possession of the seat of
Christain religion by the Mohamme-
dans, For 673 years the holy City
has been undisputed ownership of
the Turks, the last Christian ruler
of Jerusalem being the German Em-
peror,' Frederick II, whose short-lived
domination last from 1229 to 1242.
Apart from its connection with the
campaign being waged against Turkey
by the British -forces in Mesopotamia,
the fall of Jarusualenl marks the de-
finite collapse of the long protracted
efforts of the Turks to capture the Suez
canal and invade Egypt. Almost the
first stove made by Turkey after her
entrance into the war was a campaign
against Egypt across the great desert
of the Sinai peninsula. In November,
1914, a Turkish army, variously es-
timated at from 75,000 to 250,000
Coen, march on the Suez canal and
succeeded in reaching within striking
distance of the great artifice! waterway
at several points. For several months
bitter fighting took place, the canal
being defended by. an Anglo-Egyptian
army aided by Australians and New
Zealanders and French and British for-
ces.
Fur the greater part of 1915 con-
flicting reports of the situation were
received fruit the belligerents, but in
December of that year, detinite in for-
mation showed that the Turks had been
driven back as fax as EI Arish, about
35 miles east of the canal, A lull
oceurred then which lasted for six
months and in June 1916 the Tares
again adavnced as far as Katish, about
15 miles from the canal, Here they
ware deetsively defeated, losing more
than 3,000 prisoners and a great quan-
tity of equipment. Another period
followed in which the situation was
greatly confused through the vague-
ness and contradictory character of the
official statements, but its December 16,
the l3ritish stormed Ei Arish and a few
days later severely defeated the Turks
at Magdabah, about 60 miles to the
south on the same front. Two weeks
later the invaders had been driven off
Egy,,t and the British forces crossed
the border into Palestine.
Thera had seen no hint from either
official or unofficial sources as to a
British intention to , undertake a de-
finite invasion of the Holy Land, and it
WAS with intense surprise that the
world learned on March 7 last that the
British forces had captured El Khalil
15 miles south of Jerusalem. El Khulil
also known as Shellal and El Khalil is
the modern name of ancient Bebron,
the site of the tomb of Abraham and
the home of David.
Apparently the British advance to
force to
Hebron was not In ssufficientf o
maintain a hold on this position, for
while shortly afterwards the despatches
from the Palatine front showed the
British to have pushed up the coast
to within a short distance of Gaza,
their interior column was located some
distance south of Beersheba, The cam-
paign lapsed to stagnancy through the
heated period, but was actively, renew-
ed with the setting in of cooler weather
lest fall.
Early in November the activity
which had been displayed by the
British forces for some time bore
fruit in a victory which resulted in
the capture of Beersheba, With the
taking of 1,800 prisoners. The British
at this point were then 40 miles south
Jerusalem. Simultaneously the
00041 column became active, and in
a hot 'e agement with the Turks pene-
trated tlfel Ottoman lines southeast
of Gaza and by November 7 that
city , :was In„ their hands and the
British were pursuing the Turks
n'orthward, after having inflicted
eastlalties estimated as in excess of
10,0.0 epos them, exclusive of .nue
LETTERS
1Vltat is the call'
The Bugle Call
The call that has no betters,
The silver call,
That beats then all;
The music call for "Letters,"
You cnn take a silver trumpet
And sound the dread "aiarm",
T. A. will spring to action
With his rifle ')teath his arm;
But If you want to ,see him jump,
Or run like a streak of hall,
Just 'take the stupe old bugle
And sound the call for "Mail."
None who ain't been there himself
Can tell just .what it means
To have a live epistle
From your home tucked In your jeans
A dripping sweeet John Collins
To a thirst you wouldn't sell,
Ain't in it with the striving heart
That gets a word from Nell.
Or if the maiden's name be Kate,
Or Jean, or Marguerite,
A scented word of love -kin makes
A week,s dull drudgery sweet,
Why any mother's soldier -son
Who hears that bugle cry,
Just stops his heart and holds his
breath
For fear he'll be passed by.
His hand is all a -tremble,
His eyes stick out like pegs
He goes all of a -quiver
From the ague in his legs.
And if his name's not on the list,
He wilts like a frozen bud
Until another mail -call drags
Hint plousing thro' the mud,
i•le ain't no correspondent,
And his answers may be few;
His opportunities are slim
To write his billy' doo,
But when he does, it is beneath
A sputtteringpin.e-knot taper
With the broken nib of an ink -starved
pen
On a scrap of cartridge paper.
Now the moral is for folks at home:
Don't wait for hint to write;
And don't say: "Dear Tont-must
close
I hope this finds you right."
A good, long, newsy letter
Is the best that you can yield
In the way of downright service
To your Tommy in the field,
merous prisoners taken, By this time
the British inland force was again up
in the neighborhood of Hebron, where
the Turks were repbrted organizing
for the defense of Jerusalem. Gen-
eral Allenby, the British commander,
meanwhile kept his forces near the
coast in rapid motion northward,
and after taking the railway line
junction between Jaffa and Jerus-
alem, pushed on to Jaffa and •captur-
ed that important coast city, the port
of Jerusalem. This was in mid-Nov-
ember,
By November 22 the British had
pushed southwest from Jaffa 'until
they were within five miles of Jerus-
alem on the northwest. They begat
drawing their lines closer about the
city in this direction, while steady
pressure was being kept by the in-
terior column frofn the south and
on December 7, General Allenby an-
nounced that he had definite pos-
session of Hebron. The city of Jer-
usalem thus was virtually but off on all
sides but the east.
Few details have come through as
to the progress of the encircling
movement since that date, but the
process must have been carried out
with considerable rapidity to cul-
minate as speedily as It has in the
'surrender of the city.

RUINING GERMANY.
The slate to which (rormany, has
been reduced by the way, the New
York Times declares, is clear to the
vision of that Hamburg' business nal
who tells the Leipsic Neueste Nach
eichten that Germany will be isolated
commercially after the war, It snakes
00 difference, he says, whether Eng-
land grants her "the freedom of the
seas" or not; "no voluntary agreement
of England's, no paper understanding,
:an protect us." The German mer-
.:hault marine has been destroyed; her
commerce with the world is so ir-
retrievably gone that we must liter-
ally begin from the beginning again,
and decades of strenuous work will
not suffice to rebuild what has been
destroyed in these three years."
This calamity, he declares, has not
been brought about so much by the
forcible destruction of the merchant
marine as by the alienation of hither-
to neutral countries, which, of course,
be ascribes to England's machinations,
not to the real cause.
The heaviest blow of this kind was
the inducement of China and most of
the South American countries to take
steps of this nature. The Gertnan
business man, who, after peace is de-
clared, goes out into the world, will
find ruins everywhere, and if he at-
tempts to rebuild them he will be pre-
vented by a wall of enmity.
if this condition is kept up, he de-
clares, "the German Empire \vould be
reduced to a second-class power." All
this he makes an argument tar coo
issuing the war until England is thor-
oughly beaten, so that she cannot ef-
fectively keep up her enmity after
peace is declared, It seems a non -
sequitur, and inclines idle t,l believe
that the conclusion is recorded 'only
for the purpose of avoiding the censor-
ship. However that may be, he has,
1 ;ihly without knowing it. trained a
tr...ible indictment of the German
militarists for the injury they have
inflicted on their own country,
