British, to Spare Sacred
Spots, Withheld Big Guns,
and Final Attack Was
Made by Storming In
fantry

LONDON. Dec. L. Some Of the most
desperate fighting in the Palestine cam
paign marked the fall Of Jerusalem,
says a Reuter- dispatch sent by air
plane from British headquarters One
thousand unwounded and zoo wounded
Turks were captured The Mount Of
Olives was the scene Of fierce Brit
.sh charge
Bethlehem was stormed by the bayo-
net without artillery preparation, be
cause the British, in spite Of several
enemy batteries being posted there, Ie-
fused 90 shell this most sacred spot.
The hardest fighting was al Nebi
Samuel. traditional burial place Of the
Prophet Samuel. northwest Of the city.
There the Turks sent troops in sue
cessiye waves against London Tcgi-
ments stationed there. The final at
tack was preceded by such heavy
sheling that j.; appeared the enemy
was confident the British would be
blown of the summit, but all their as
saults were sanguinsrily repulsed.
Turks Fought StubbOrnly
The Turks had strong line west,
south and northeast of Jerusalem.
They were well provided with machine
guns and their artillery dominated the
crests over which the British would
have 20 advance. Some Turkish guns
were placed just outside the city walls,
making il impossible 10 reply TO their
fire without endangering the town.
"A torrential rain made the roads in
passable." the correspondent continues.
THE problems of supply and transport
almost drove US to despair. The camels
were unable TO keep a foothold on the
slippery paths. Nevertheless, the food
and ammunition supply was maintained
fully.
"Ou tie night Of December =, when
our attack begaa. the men moved up

pivoting on Nebi Samuel, from which
the Londoncrs advanced eastward tow

cended the Hebron Road. threatening
the town from the south.
They found Hebron evacuated. but
encountered resistance around BethIe-
hem, where the Turks also had posted
guns so that counter battery work
would endanger the sacred village.
Hence our troops had the disagreeable
experience Of being shelled without the
ability 10 reply, But they pressed for
ward. and by noon OF the Sth were two
miles north OF Bethlehem.
The Londoners had a hard task on
the steep slopes Of the Judean hills,
where ii was impossible TO bring field
guns 20 their support, but some noun
tain batteries and howitzers rendered
magnificent service. and by II o'clock
In the morning the Londoners had come
60 grips. stormed and captured all the
enemy'S works west Of the town.
Charged Lost Position
The Turks still held the last line on
the ridge overlooking Jerusalem, hav-
ing posted numerous machine guns in
the houses Of the Jewish and German
colonists in the furthest outskirts Of
the town. The position was charged
late on the afternoon Of the Sth. The
magnificent feat was crowned with com
plete success. and the Turks were
driven out at the point Of the bayonet:
the survivors bolting to either side OF
the town. Their losses were enormous.

Complete tabulated returns of the

State Commissioner Finley was so
much interested show that in the TO-

the girls showed generally the great
er proficiency in spelling, and that of

champions only 80 per cent so to boys.

accepted theory TINT good speller Is
born, not made. Which means, perhaps,
that visual 1nemcry is an inherited
faculty, capable, it may be, of develop
ment, but only within limit fixed by
the brain of the pupil. Logic helps very
little, almost none at all, till after
study of Greek and Latin and French
has forced attention on the origin of
words. The boy or girl or man or
woman who Dlgst rarely mis-spel.s a
word Is fortunate rather than admir-
able. The memory visualzes the print
ed form Which reading has made ia
miliar. And this was the secret of
the way our grancmothers and grand
fathers got mastery over the old blue
spelling book. Doubtless the pre-Froe-
bel "Nebster" book, like all other
books used for the purpose, helped VS.
uall5Jtion By concentrating attention.
