THE TURKS BY BRITISH
TROOPS.
CROSS NOW ABOVE CRESCENT

Avoid Damage to the Sacred
PIaces-Campaion Opened by
by English Last March.

London, Dee. 12.-Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the eXchequer, an
nounced in the house of commons on
Monday that Jerusalem, after being
surrounded on all sides by British
troops, had been surrendered by the
Turks.
The chancellor said British, French
and Mohammedan representatives
were on the way to Jerusalem to safe
guard the holy places.
General Allenby reported that on
Saturday he attacked the enemy's po-
sitions south and west of Jerusalem,
the chancellor stated. Welsh and
home county troops, advancing from
the direction of Bethlehem, drove back
the enemy and, passing Jerusalem on
the east, established themselves on the
Jerusalem-Jericho road.
At the same time London Infantry
and dismounted yeomanry attacked
the strong enemy positions west ana
northwest of Jerusalem and placed
themselves astride the Jerusalem
Shecchem road. The holy city, being
thus isolated, surrendered to General
Allenby.
The chancellor announced that Cen
eral Allenby expected to enter Jeru-
salem officially during the day, accom-
panied by the commanders of the
French and italian contingents and the
heads of the French political mission.
British political officers, together with
the British governor, were in the party
that had gone ahead on the safeguard
ing mission.
The capture of Jerusalem had been
delayed to some degree, added the
chancellor, in consequence Of the great
care that had been taken to avoid
damage to the sacred places in and
around the city.
The British campaign in Palestine
was opened last March and has been
prosecuted steadily since then. first
by Gen. Sir Archibald Murray and then
by General Allenby, who assumed COM
mand on June 90 The advance was
northward along the Mediterranean
coast, out was necessarily slow be-
caues OF the arid desert that had TO be
crossed.
