Taken Only by Fiankina

A spokesman for the party, who for
a number of years has been in charge
of the work of a foreign mission board
at a city in Palestine, asserted that in
his opinion Jerusalem could never be
taken by frontal attack and could be
conquered only by extensive thanking OPP
erations. This defense Of the Turks, he
said. had been prepared with every in
genuity of modern military engineers.
In December or even January he de-
clared, "the city could have been taken
with ease by single army corps
The Turks however. as we'll as their
German allies to the north of the city
are not being allowed to rest in peace,
he added, but are being continually sub
ject TO air raids from the British camp.
Mount Olivet Bombed
Reports that have gone forth from
German sources that the British are de-
stroying sacred and Historical! relics on
Mount Olivet are inspired propaganda, A"
he said. The historic mountain has been
subject to aerial bomb attack, but moth
ing of value to Christianity has been de-
stroyed. for the reason that there is moth
ing there Of that nature aside from the
mountain itself to destroy.
The only structure OF any consequence
on the mountain is a German school, and
that has been taken over by the Turkish
military authorities and Is used as head
quarters by DENIAL Pasha and his staff. -

Crawling, choking with thirst, slow
Iy forward, he reached the water, and,
reclining on his side and one elbow, he
was about to lean down to drink when
he suddenly felt, with some kind of an
instructive shock, that he was no long
er alone on the ledge. He had no in
terest in analyzing the conviction; he
did not even question 1t. Not a sound
had reached his ears. Only moment
before he had looked carefully all
around. But the field of his vision was
closely circumscribed by the walls
about him. 1t was easy for an invader
to come on his retreat unawares-at
all events, somebody, he was almost
sure, stood behind him. The silence
meant an enemy. The first thing to
expect was bullet 1t would prob
ably be aimed at the back of his head.
At least he knew this was the spot to
aim for to kill man instantly and
