What do you think about the nation being made per
manently dry by constitutional amendment

DAMASCUS REDEEMED

THE fall of Damascus is the inevitable
u consequence of the great victory won
by General Allenby between Nabus and
the Lake of Gallee No battle of modern
dimensions appears to have been fought
outside the walls of the most ancient of all
cities and the largest metropolis taken
10y the Allies throughout the war The
virtual destruction Of the Turkish army
IN Syria some two weeks ago assured the
occupation of Damascus by the British
forces.
II now remains to he seen whether the
beaten Turks can reconstruct an army Of
sufficient strength to hinder Allenby's tri-
umphal progress 10 Aeppo. Delay in the
crisis is the most the Sultans generals
and their discounted Teuton mentors can
hope for.

lion people and capital Of Syria, is the key

inha nitnnts have hated the OttomauS for
centuries thus escape simultaneously from
the Turkish yoke.
The comparatively mild winter climate
of Syria renders it fully possible for the
victorious British to reach the angle in
the Mediterranean where the coast turns
west within the next month or SO. pro-
vided Turkey holds out that long. The
important port of Alexandretta and the
railway ccNter of Aeppo in Allied hands
would not only mean the splitting of Tur.
