The surrender OF Jerusalem to the Eng
lish forces was announced in London Mon
day. The city was nearly surrounded by
Gen. Allenby's troops when the Turkish
forces fled. The British took possession
without firing Il shot and none of the
buildings in the city were damaged. The
capture Of Jerusalem marks the end
with two brief interludes, of more than
! POO years OF POSSESSION of the seat OF
the Christian religion by the Mohammc-
dams. For 673 years the Holy City has
been in undisputed possession o. the
Turks. Apart from its connection with
the campaign being waged against 1ur-
key by the British in Mesopotamia the
fall OF Jerusalem marks the definite
collapse OF the long-protracted effort OF
the Turks to capture the Suez canal and
invade Egypt.

nix last week, was the result of COLI
sion between a French munitions ship.
the Mont Blanc and the Belgian relief
ship limo. The former was bound in from
New York, and the former was outward
bound, when the crash took place in the
narrows leading to Bedford Basin. The
Mont Blanc was badly damaged and ben
zine cans on Ithc deck took fire. The
crew, knowing that an explosion was
inevitable rowed ashore The explosion
occurred II to % minutes after the COLI
sion. Many buildings were shattered by
the awful defamation and hundreds of
persons were buried in the ruins, which
burst into flames almost Immediately.
Many on the waterfront were thrown into
the water and loss of life also took place
ON ships in the harbor The shock was
felt distance more than 60 miles.
Buildings all over the city and in the
suburbs were damaged and glass was
broken in almost every house The great
est loss of life was in the Richmond sec
ton, where the small wooden buildings
were demolished.
The estimates of dead early this week
were placed at 1000 with G,OOO wounded
but later reports indicate that these
figures were exaggerated. Many people
who were missing have been heard from
and it is probable that not over 1900
persisted, and the number may fall to the
|, 200 mark
The property loss will amount to many
millions 1t was hours before the fire
was under control The weather condi-
tons since the disaster have been very
trying, three heavy snow storms impcd-
ing the work of recovering bodies from the
wleckagc Five hundred houses were
totally destroyed, an equal number
wrecked beyond repair, and about 1000
badly damaged can be restored to use
Many of the survivors were horribly cut
by glass. noses and ears being cut off,
and from 800 to 800 are totally or pa,ti-
ally blind
The Dominion authorities took prompt
measures of relief, and trains carrying
surgeons, nurses and surgical supplies
were hurried to the scene from Boston,
Providence and other cities. Since then
large amounts of glass and building
material have been taken to the stricken
city on trains and in ships.
