To weat extent the Gerraans had secured a hold on the sacred land of Palestine is evidenced by the numer- ours palatial buildinge they erected, not only in and around Jerusalem, but iu other parte of the country as well.

But before that time came' the Germans had, metaphorically speaklug, to take Turkey to their bosom, and are hap- pened, having erected at the hospice it powerful wireleee installation, they made the place during the war their headquarters. Our airmen bombed it several times-, but examination has shown that as the result of these at- taeles comparatively damage has been done to the actual buildings..
