MARY RYAN, 54 Seaton St. MOHAMMEDAN RULE OF 1200 YEARS HAS ENDED BRITISH CAPTURE OF JERUSALEM BROUGHT 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 lioly City has been undisputed ownership of the Turks, the last Christian ruler of Jerusalem being the German Em- peror, . Frederick 11, 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 Jerustialem marks the de- finite collapse of the long protracted efforts of the Turks to capture the Suez canal and invade Egypt. Almost the first move made by Turkey after her entrance into the war was a campaign against Egypt across the great desert of the Sinai peninsula. In November,. 1 91 4, a Turkish army, variously es- timated at from 75,000 to 250,000 men, march on the Suez canal and succeeded in reaching within striking distance of the great artilical waterway at several poines. 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. For the greater part of 5955 con- flicting reports of the situation were received from the belligerents:but in December of that year, definite in for- mation showed that the Turks had been driven back as far as lit Arish, about S5 miles east of the canal. A lull occurred then which lasted for six months and in June 1 91 6 the Turks again adavnced as far as Kalish, about 11 5 miles from the canal, Here they were decisively 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 in December 6, the British stormed El elfish aril 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 Egypt and the British forces crossed the border into Palestine. There had been no hint from either official or unofficial sources as to a British intention to undertake a de- finite invasion 01 (110 Holy Land, and it was with intense surprise that Ole world learned on March 7 last that the British forces had captured 131 Khulil 15 miles south of Jerusalem.

The cam- palgn lapsed to Stagnancy through the heated period, bui was actively, renew- ed with the setting in of cooler weather last 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 f3eershebe, with the taking 04 4,800 prisoners, The BrItiSh at this point were then '10 miles south of Jerusalem. Simultaneously the coastal column became active, mid 10' a 1101 engagement with the Turks pene- trated the Ottoman epee southeast of Gaza end by November 7 that city was in their hands and the British were pursuing the Turks northward, after having inflicted Casualties estimated as in excess of 10,000 upon them, exclusive of nu- merous prisoners taken. By this time the British inland force was again up in the neighborhood of Hebron, where ltie Turks were reported 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 captu r- ed that important coast city, the port of Jerusalem. This was in mid-Nov- ember. By Kovenibei 22 the British had pushed. southwest from Jaffa until they were Within five miles of Jerus- alem on the northwest. They began drawing their lines closer about the city in this direction, while steady pressure was being kept by the in- terior column from 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 cut 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 emcees must have been carries( out with considerable rapidity to cul- minate as speedily as it has in the surrender of the city. In sentimental 'and romatic aspects the capture of Jerusalem far exceeds even the fall of fable -crowned Bagdad. The modern city of Jerusalem con- tains about 60,000 inhabitants, and is the home of pestilence, filth and fevers, but le historic interest it na- turalty surpasses, to the Christian world, all other places in the world. General Sir Edmund Henry Allenby, the victor of Jerusalem, was trans- ferred to the command uf the British forces in Egypt, which have conducted the Palestine campaign, in June of this year. He was in command of the Third British army on the western front during 1 91 6, and at the head of this army, General Allenby command- ed the British right wing in the battle of Arras begin ni ng Easter Monday of this year.

Thursday, DecembOr 2 7U1, 917 WAR PiptNG COLOsSAI, DEBTS What is going to be the upshot' of the elearmous tinanc150 aistreletnee caused by this universal raising' of war loans, end uf the diversion of such vaSt sums of accumuluted weitith frem unproductive machinery or destruca lion? Practically every important na- bon on earth has either to reiSe ox- pv.11111)11(11 revenueby taxation or to borrow money at war -time interest retes, All the wins that were waged in Europe prior to the Crimean War are estimated by de 13lock, -the RUSSill/1 economist, to have involved on outlay of some six and one-quarter billio1 dollars, end lie declared more the)11 a oentury ago that no country could bear the economic exhaustion which a general outbreak of hostilities would cause, Yet, at the rate of $90,000,000 a day, no less than sixteen times the amount has been spent in this war, and so far signs of exhaustion are to be seen only in enemy quarters. 111 England the pound sterling is worth in commodilies Just about half what is was before the war. At that, it has come nearer to mainaleing its parity than the money of any other European beligerent country, reports the London correspondent of the New York Sun, He assert that banking au- thorities in England believe American money, as measured in commodities, I has depreciated quite lm much as ster- ling; and he goes on to say: - When the war ends there will not be a currency in the world honestly based an the gold standard as the gold standard was rated before the war. The Legitimate. honest supply and de- mand movement of gold thrteout the world has been suspended, and every month that the War continues means the addition of a considerable period .after the war to that within which the gold will have to be handled under the moost careful restrictions in order that even a nominal adherence to the gold basis may continue. "Nevertheless, every country is mak- ing determined efforts to mobilize and control its gold stocks so that when peace returns, gold, no matter how depreciated, may still retain its place as elle universal standard. It is realiz- ed that in the era of world-wide re- construction later there will be greater need than eve before for a universal standard of some sort; and nobody has ever remotely suggested the serious possibility of substituting anything else for the ounce of pee. 'The English pound sterling is about equivalent in value to the half, pound of pre-war days. But England is still so much better off than Russia that an English pound will buy twice as many rubles as it would buy before the war. The ruble was worth two shillings before the war, and now it is only worth one shilling, while Ile one 111 turn, has lost half of its value, a "The German mark has not done much better than Russia money.

J. Jennings points out in the North American Review, they will vary ac- cording to conditions, such, for in- stance, as the population of this or that country, whether the occupations of its peop le are chiefly agricultural or manufacturing, the extent of its ac- cumulated wealth and trf its na- tional income.

But the war bas made the old dollar rate quite impossible. Paper prices have jumped alarmingly, Ink prices have doubled, trebled, quadrupled. Many colored inks are quite off the market. Linotype metal Is terrrIbly high. And so we could go on reciting the dismal tale of higher publishing costs, What we 555(11 to do is to let yuu see for yourself that in the face of these things, only one thing lo left open to us -it is to raise the price of The New Era to 51.50 a year. "Your weekly newspaper is rendering this com- munity a service no city daily can. No daily gives space to local news and affairs as The New Era does. No city daily publishes the advertis- ing 'of local merchants. If you had to depend solely on a City daily for local news you would cry out for your local weekly. On and after January 15th, the new rate of $L5 0 will go into effect. We ask you and all the good people of Clinton and Huron County and neighborhood to fall in with the new rate -just because it is an honest price and because you are fairaminded, Your Local Newspaper Keeps this Community on the Map country like the United Kingdom or the United Slates. Also, the pressure up- on a small or stationary population will be heavier than that upon. a large and increasing one. It would be absurd to class Bulgaria or even the Dual Mon- archy with France or with the United Kingdom, with at transferable wealth estimated at eighty-five billions and ae national income of fifteen biffions. One effect of the war will be to stim- ulate the trade itctivity of the world to find a recompense for the inoney that has been spent. Where that activity is effectual it 'will kelp in varying degrees to make the burden of taxation endur- able.
