THE FALL OF JERUSALEM.
BY Jacob de Haas.


rovisional Zionist Committee.
The fall of Jerusalem is one of the
big events of the war, for it is both
of military and political significance,
in the division of opinion in England
between the Fasteners and the
Westerners- those who believe the
war will be won in the East and
those who believe that the peace will
result from decisive blow on the
Flanders front, the Fasteners have
won the big victories; for the capture
of Bagdad and now of Jerusalem are
capital events. The whole Orient
will respond to the fall Of the best
known city in the world. These are
prominent victories for the Allies
which must react favorably all
through Asia Minor to Scutari. This
defeat of Turkish troops led by Ger
man officers, aided by Austrian ar
tillery should lead to the withdraw
al of Turkey from the war. Turkey
has everything to gain even now
from peace.
The fall of Jerusalem without ap-
parent damage to the Holy Sites is
a matter of keen satisfaction to all
Of us-Jew, Christian, and Moham-
medan alike. The surrender of the
city shows, as was the case with the
Judean colonies, THAT war can be war
without ruthlessness, devastation
and barbaric destruction.
To the Zionists the fall of Jerusa-
lem implies the practical capture of
Palestine by the British forces, and
the early contamination of the re-
cent British declaration favorable to
the re-establishment in Palestine of
the Jewish homeland. The first steps
towards the practical end of that
plan are now being worked out.
