 Cairo, Egypt. May 25.-A family of refugees from Tripol, Syria. has just arrived here. having escaped from Turkish territory in boat of their own manufacture. The boat was constructed entirely at night, being built inslde their house with the ut- most secrecy. As soon as completed. it was launched late one evening on rough seA. The Journey to . place of safety was . terrible one, tho oc- cupants of the boat being much of the time waist deep in water and es- caping sinking only through tireless and persistent bailing.
 According to information brought by this family, the population Of Jerusalem had been reduced about 60 per cent. since the war.

"Tommy Atkins" Surprised by
 Ease of His Conquests

London, May 2s-"Fritz don't seem to have any sand in him these days: nothing like what they were at Yprea in 1915. said private of the Can- adian Expeditionary force recently re- turned from the front in France. "One of them whom we captured along with . party that was making .
 real Hindenburg advance to the rear in double time said to me: This war no good at all. We finished. Why not stop?' "I told him his whole machine had
 got to be smashed right up before there would be any stop, so far as we were concerned.
 After that we went into a Cor combined trench-mortar emplacement and munition store. It was very deep, and had hardly been damaged at all. A doping passage led up to the em- placement, and down below there were piles of mortar shells. We found the whole crew of the mortar hiding behind one of these piles, and they surrendered at once. They could cas- fly have blown us all to Kingdom come.''
 Other men wounded on the Arras battlefield tell similar incidents. A corporal of the Devons who was sniped on outpost duty when the Ger mans were being driven from a vii. lage near Croiselles, said:
 II think their snipers are about the best men they've got left, now. and even they throw up their hands directly you get near them. and will only light at rife range, never with a chance of tasting the bayonet. n saw the cavalry attacking that yil- lage; one of the finest fights I've seen. They came over rise of ground, and Ealloped clean through a screen of whizz-bangs. They were great. It was hne to see them sweep through. Our boys got up in time to take over the prisoners"
