attendant paraphernalia necessary to the care and comfort of the thousands of henchmen that rallied about the standard of Coucy.
 In the center rose a chapel the orig inal nucleus of the chateau. Founda- tions and a grass plot are all that remain. The fourth defense was the chateau proper, great quadrangle as spacious as most chateauX in their ensemble. Each corner was crowned with great cylindrical tower more than hundred feet iu height. their walls nearly five yards thick.
 Then came the final defense, the great donjon tower, the kernel of the impregnable nut which has never been cracked, nearly POO feet in height, 100 feet in diameter and at the base 30 odd feet thick, the most nearly perfect example of the medieval architecture of defense.
 In 1914, month after the opening of hostilities, the gray wave of the German army of invasion had swept over Coucy. Its great towers con- mand the greater part of the battle field over which writhe three armies in their titanic struggle. For this reason the enemy placed their anti aircraft guns and searchlights on the topmost tower When in the middle of March they finally uprooted them selves for the first time since the be- ginning from their trenches and be- gan their backward goosestep out of France, it was not likely that in the holocaust of destruction which they left in their way, which included chil- dren's toys, family photographs and the doghouse, they would forget the Chateau of Coucy.
 As the horizon-blue lines of the French yagues of solGery came within sight of the huge pile of their nations proudest medieval monument so long hidden from their sight, thunderous explosions rent the fair sky of spring time above Coucy, and they saw with horror its great towers totter and fall through the veil of smoke. With an almost human groan there came to their ears the rending crash of the enormous Assure which broke through the stern heart of the great donjon And so at last was cracked the kernel of the nut which had remained i'm pregnable for 600 years.

JERUSALEM |S |H HANDS OF BRITISH LEMS PRACTICALLY 1,2oo
 YEARS.
TURKISH PLAN DEFEATED
Dream of the Moslems and Turks To Drive Southward Through Palestine and Capture Suez Canal and h.
 wade Egypt Has Collapsed.

New York.-Jerusalem is in the hands of the British after having been for practically 1,200 years in the con trol of the Moslems.
 The Holy City of the Christian re- ligion surrendered to General Alleif- by's forces, consisting of British, French and Italian troops, after 1t had been surrounded. Its fall appar- ently ended the dream of the Moslems and the Turs of driving southWard, through Palestine, capturing the Suez canal and invading Egypt.
 Since the recent taking Of the town of Jaffa on the Mediterranean sea and the gradual closing in on Jerusalem by the allied forces, the fall of the an cient city daily had been anticipated. The delay was due to the desire Of General Allenby to carry out his plan of enveloping the city and forcing Us equalization, as a frontal attack would have endangered the many sacred places inside the city and in it's en- virons.
 For 673 years the Holy City has been in undisputed ownership of the Turks, the last Christian ruler Of Je- rusalem being the German emperor, Frederick H., wh4se short-lived dom- ination lasted froh 1929 to 1244.
 Apart from its,connection with the campaign being waged against TN key by the British is Mesopotamia, the fall of Jerusalem was the definite collapse of the long continued efforts of the Turks to capture the Suez ca nal and invade Egypt Almost the first moves made by Turkey after her entrance into the war was campaign against Egypt, across the great desert of the Sinai peninsula. In November. 1914, Turkish army, estimated at from 75,000 to 250,000 men, marched on the SueZ canal and got within striking distance of the great water way at several points. For several months bitter fighting took place. The canal was defended by an Anglo Egytpian army aided by Australians i. and New Zealanders and French ana British forces.
