LONDON, Dec. 12.-Major General
F. B. Maurice, chief director of mill
tary operations at the British war
office, today in talk with the Associ-
ated Press outlined the campaign that
resulted in the fall of Jerusalem to
General Allenby's forces.

The campaign which led to this has
been carried out mainly by British
territorial troops, supported by small
bodies of Australian and New Zea-

an the campaign as a whole the

broad gauge railroad laid across the
$50 miles of the Sinai desert. which
has defeated almost everybody mat

What was apparently intended as

shortly after dawn. and, owing to the

(By review Leased Nlre.)
The Germans, following their heavy
artillery preparations of recent days.
have attempted to drive a wedge into
the British line west of Cambria. but
although they used numerically su-
perior forces their effort brought them
only a minor gain.
The attack, launched between Bulle-
court and Queant, was similar TO that
adopted by Crown Prince Rupprecht's
troops when they pierced General
Byng's front southwest of Cambria
nearly two weeks ago and caused a
retirement of he British on the Sd
lient General Byng previously had
driven toward Cambria. A like pur-
pose doubtless was involved in the
latest offensive. and for its execution
huge waves of Bavarians were thrown
upon the sector in an endeavor to
overpower the defenders. The British,
however. held tenaciously TO their
ground, except at enc point, W ere

perial German chancellor, have been
sending him foodstuffs since he left
Bavaria for Berlin TO take up the

difficulty in getting food in the Ger

SNOW, MAY HELP
ALLIES DEFEND
NORTHERN ITALY
(By Review Leased wire)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN
NORTHERN ITALY, Dec. IL, Tues
day.-(By the Associated Press.)-
Snow which has been eagerly awaited
and long delayed. began to fall this
morning in the mountain district.
where the Austro-German armies are
striving to break through The begin
ming OF the snow fall adds to the opti-
mism of those who have been conf
dent that the drive would be checked
within its present limits.
The weather up to now had been
almot unprecedentedly fine every
where in northern Italy, a condition
which by peculiar anomaly has favor
ed the invaders almost exclusively,
since the elements have presented
none of their customary obstacles.
The cloudless skies have made pos
sible unlimited aerial reconnoitering
and the starry, moonlight nights have
rendered difficult the substitution of
French for Italian troops.
Air and Guns.
The fighting between the French
and Austro-Germans has been limited
thus far chiefly to aerial and artillery
engagements, which have been father
of tentative nature. Both sides have
taken advantage Of the fine cloudless
weather to keep squadrillas in the air
scouting from dawn to dark, and air
battles have been almost hourly oc-
currences.
The Germans have unquestioned
strategic advantages because of their
possession of the crest of Mount TOM
ba. The mountains now held by the
Germans are nearly the last of the big
peaks, but below the stretching for
solid rows for miles behind the front,
is series of peculiarly shaped hills,
each from a few hundred to a thous-
and feet high, which make the finest
imaginable defenses and which would
have to be stormed individually and
at great cost, unless the line to the
west should give way.
Defense Stopped.
The French appear in a position to
arrest any German advance for an in
definite period if the Italians continue
to resist the Austro-German onslaught
The Italians themselves express the
greatest confidence that their troops
will succeed in checking an Austro-
German advance there.
The French already have acclimated
themselves perfectly and appear to be
working in the utmost harmony with
such of the Italians that are left on
their sectors, notably with artillery,
which co-operates under joint COM
mand. The French as well as the
British armies have brought with
them the most complete equipment
imaginable, including a bewildering
number of motor trucks, so that their
lines may be supplied with every ne
cessity.

CHANCELLOR FOR
EXCHEQUER ASKS
ANOTHER CREDIT
tBy Review Leased wire.)

LONDON, Dec. 12.-In moving a
vote of credit of $4,000, 900 pounds
in the house of commons today, An
drew BOnar Law, chancellor of the eN-
cheqaer. announced that the premier
would not speak on this subject, but
would make special statement re-
harding the war before the Christmas
holidays.
The chancellor said that when the
last vote was moved. on October 30th,
for 400 100000 pounds. il was suppos-
ed that this sum would meet the ex-
penditures until the first week in jan
uary. That has been realized and it
now was estimated that this credit
would last until January ninth. The
average daily expenditure for So days
preceding December 1st was 1874
600 pounds, an evcess expenditure
over the budget estimate of 1888, 900
pounds daily.
Total Excess.
The total excess over the budget
estimate was 09,0O0,O 900 pounds. But
from that was to be deducted the ex-
penditure which had been recovered
or was recoverable and he estimated
that sum at 225. 100000 pounds. There
fore the excess over the estimate of
the daily expenditure was 350,000
pounds.
One of the causes of the increased
army expenditure said the chancellor,
was the increase in the aviation pro-
gram. Another cause was the large
number of troops employed in Mesopo-
tamia and the largest amount was dut
to advances to the armies in France
and Palestine. The estimate OF the
advances to the dominions had not
been exceeded.
State of Russia.
While the house should not exag-
gera5e what was happening in Rus
sia, the chancellor continued, no state
ever regulated its debts. 1t was al
most certain that there would be
stable government in Russia and he
could not believe that efforts which
the Russian people had made to es-
tablish freedom and a free govern
ment would end in anything but the
establishedment of a recognized re-
sponsible government in that country
"a tneiS" 40 StdDic SONciHhchl, NUS
sia knew that the development and
prosperity of the country would be i'm
possible without aid and financial as
sistance from other Countries and this
aid and assistance would be impossi-
BILE unless the previous debts of the
country were accepted by the govern
ment. Therefore he believed that the
money would be recovered sooner or
later.
