THE HOLY CITY
IN BRITISH HANDS
Turks Are Forced to Give Up
Jerusalem.
SAFEGUARDING HOLY PLACES
Glorious ConsummstIon OF Endeavor
Which For 1900 Years Has Been
The Desire OF The Chris
tian World.

LondoI.-Andrew Bonar Law, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, announced in
the House of Commons that Jeru-
salem, after being surrounded on all
sides by British troops, had surren-
dered.
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 said. Welsh and Home
County troops, advancing from the d.
rection 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 and northwest of Jeru-
salem and placed themselves astride
the Jerusalem-Shechem road. The
Holy City, being thus isolated, sur
rendered to General Allenby.
The Chancellor said General Allenby
expected to enter Jerusalem officially
Tuesday, accompanied by the COM
manders OF the French and Italian
contingents and the heads of the
French political mission. British po-
litical officers, together with the Brit
ish governor, were in the party that
had gone ahead on the safeguarding
mission, the Chancellor stated.
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.

Turks Held II 673 Years.

The capture of Jerusalem by the
British forces marks the end, with
two brief interludes, Of more than
1,2O0 years possession Of the seat OF
the Christian religion by the Moham-
medans. For 673 years the Holy City
has been in indisputed ownership Of
the Turks, the last Christian ruler Of
Jerusalem being the German Emperor,
Frederick II, whose short-lived domina-
tion lasted from 1929 to 1914.
Apart from its connection with the
campaign being waged against Turkey
by the British in Mesopotamia, the fall
of Jerusalem marks the definite col
lapse of the long,protracted efforts OF
the Turks to capture the Suez Canal
and invade Egypt. Almost the first
move made by Turkey after her en-
trance into the war was campaign
against Egypt across the great desert
of the Sinai Peninsula.
