 or THE ENEMIES

Turks from a portion of the plateau of Armageddon, north of Jerusalem. The Allies have cut off all communi- cations from Jerusalem save the route to Aleppo, along the valley of the Jordan, northeast of the city.
 Reuters correspondent with British headquarters in Palestine, says:
 "Within a fortnight of the inception of the British offensive the Turkish army, occupying apparently an i'm pregnable line, strongly fortified and provided with guns, ammunition and supplies, has been driven headlong from its defenscs and chased across country. Its losses have been enor- nous.
 "The enemy has been clinging ten aciously to a position about Mug hair, beyond Wadi Rubin, where he has hastily entrenched himself. Sup ported by field and machine guns, the mounted troops charged across the swelling upland straight upon the enemy. They were received with a heavy fire, but nothing could stop them. They cut right through the Turks, sabering right and left.
 When the enemy found themselves surrounded, HOO of them laid down their arms. The Turk is fighting bravely, but he is hopelessly out classed.'
 Indian troops have captured the junction station of Wadi Surah and two field guns. Scottish troops have captured Naneh, north of Mansura, taking sixty prisoners and a mount ain gun.
 "Anzac forces have reached Kez- azeh and advanced toward Fl Ramie. British airmen bombed trains and troops"

LONDON, Dec. 3. - With the Brit ish and French forces in Palestine but a few miles from Jerusalem, that capital of early Christianity is prac- tically in their hands, and announce ment is expected hourly that they have taken possession.
 While the Italian offensive, the Russian turmoil, and the active of fcnsive on the Western front, mostly have occupied the attention of the public, the southern campaign is also regarded as an important h K in the chain that the Allies haTJ welded about the Central Powers, and one that is beginning to loom large on the horizon.
 That Germany regards the situa- ton in the Holy Lands as dangerous and a very serious matter is shown in an article by Capt. Von Salzman, a German writer, who says in a Berlin paper that the capture of Jerusalem by the Allies will threaten Gemary's entire policy in the Orient.
