A despatch from London says;
Reuter's eoro3spondent with British
headquarters in Palestine, . telegraph-
ing last Wednesday, says: 'Within
a fortnight of the inception of. the
British offensive the Turkish army,
occupying apparently an impregnable
line, strongly fortified and provided
with guns,.. ammunition and supplies,
has been driven headlong. from its dew
fences and chased across country. Its
losses have been enormous,
"The feature of Thursday's fighting
was a brilliant charge by the Mid-
land Counties Yeomanry, The enemy
had been clinging tenaciously to a
position above Mughair, beyond Wadi
Rubin, where he. had hastily en-
trenched himself. Supported by field
and machine guns, 'the mounted
troops charged across the swelling up-
land straight upon the enemy. They
were received with a heavy fire, but
nothing could stop them. ' They cut
right through the Turks, sabering,

"When the enemy found themselves.

fighting bravely, but he is hopelessly
outclassed-
