British Army Headquarters in
France. March 29-(By the ASCOT
ated Press.l-The Germans were able
to penetrate Marcelcave. 10 miles east
of Anliens in. the region south of the
Somn,e, only by mea of heavy
massed attacks late Yesterday which
gradually forced the British back.
1t was in this district, south Of the
Son7me. that the invaders continued
to make their greatest efforts. The
British here are battling stubbornly
and brilliantly against an advance
which, II must be admitted, has been
steady.
The conflict in this region has been
most s%anguinary, and at latest reports
sented roughly. by Hamel. Warfusee,
Abancourt and .Marcelcave. This
point, seemed to mark the extreme ad-
vance against the British.
The German attack in this region
was made, from Cerisy, on the Somn,e.
supported by artillery from across the
river. s.s =
Yesterdays assaults on the extreme
northern and southern parts Of the
battlefield were in continuance of the
Germans scheme to swing their lines
out 70 as to broaden the salient and
thereby possibly enable them to make
an attempt to envelop, Amiens.
The fighting s Of Arras yesterday
was of q most desperate nature. es-
:pecially in the region, of Telegraph
Hill. southeast of the city. Here the
masses Of troops struggled at close
quarters throughout the day. the
British holding grimly to the defenses
which guard the already .w~ar-shocked
town. x" -.
Melville -vitasse, southeast Of Tele-
graph Hill. was occupied. by the Ger
mans. They also succeeded in getting
a hold on orange Hill. further north.
From these positions they were con-
tinuing their offensive. So
The resistance Of the British yester-
day south OF Arras was most gallant.
Here the Germans advanced time aft
err time for. heavy attacks, in the
region of Ablainzevelle. but in every
instance they were thrown back. At
latest reports the line was being
strongly held. =.
In their attacks out of the Somnie
upon Marcelcave the Germans pushed
southwark from Cerisy and then
gradually swung westward until Mar
celcave vas occupied.
\. All told, while the intense fighting
Of. yesterday Inc last night along the
extended battle front gave the, Ger

to shake the intidel hold on the Valley
of the Jordan.
The hilly country north of Jerusa-
lem, between the Mediterranean and
the Jordan. has been the battle-ground
between swarming races and creeds of
world domination since the beginning
of history. Egyptian, Turk, Roman,
Jew, Christian and Mahometan have
fought and refought for possession Of
the fertilc lands. Since 1916, when the
Ottoman Sultan overcame the Name
lukcs of Egypt, Palestine has been al
most continuously in the hands of the
Turks.
In 1896. on the return from his ill
fated expedition to Egypt, Napoleon
tried to capture Acre. He took Jaffa
and Lydd but got no further, and
British interference in the end forced
him to raise the siege. In the next
century the Turks were once more
restored to possession through the help
OF Great Britain.
The history Of modern Palestine was
chiefly a story of German encroach-
ment. Lotn as commercial and re-
ligious visitor In 1898 the Kaiser
went 90 the Holy Land and performed
some sort of a ceremony on the Mount
of Olives, in which he was reported d
to have proclaimed his own high rela.

enemy columns attacked the salient
of Point 703 at Dissalte, the first
column pressing forward frontally
and the second endeavoring to un-
hinge the base of the salient with an
cncircling movement.
The gallant troops of the Sixth
Czecho-Slovak Division, who were
holding the position, defended them
selves wSth admirable valor. and the
enclrcling attack was crushed and
repulsed by machine gunners. who
bravely went outside their lines to
fight. The other hostile column. hay

gained foothold on Point 70S, but
immediately was driven back in bit

losses.

afternoon, completely reestablishinr

Of the surprise attack shade by the
British. A staff car with Turkish ofti-
GERS in turning corner in one town
met British armorcd car and all the
Turks were captured.

In the southern sector, east of the
Nasulus road, Welsh and Indian troops
encountered strong opposition Wednes-
day, but accomplished remarkable
performance, capturing all their OBJ
jectives. The units making the attack
moved in echelon, passing through one
another as they reached the assigned
limits, covering about ten miles OF
most difficult country.
While the Turkish army was occu-
pied in strengthening its defensive
positions General Allenby's plans for
the present British offensive were care
fully maturing. The troops were in
tensively trained and the ground was
closely studied. British alrplanes pre-
vented enemy craft from crossing the
British lines to observe the prepara
tions for the attack, which took the
Turks completely by surprise. The
Ottoman right flank though in for
midable positions, was overwh helmed
British troops went through the
enemy's wires and captured his first
trenches before he had time to lay
down q barrage. OF the remaining
works some were most powerfully or
ganized, but they were speedily over
come by the dash and gallantry of the
British and Indian troops.
A unit of Cape colored troops en-
gagged in the operations displayed great
gallantry and push.
In one sector an entire Turkish regi

captured, with insignificant loss. With

Christians Hold All ofthe HolyLand
For the First Time in 1900 Years

In driving the Turks back across
the line between Acre and Nazareth.
Christian forces, fer the first time in
200 years, yesterday held virtually
all OF the Holy Land. Names that are
older than written history reappeared
last night upon the map Of civiliza-
ton.
Helped by low-nying arplanes,
quick -tirers and all the modern para
phernalia Of warfare, British troops
fought their way across the mythical
field of Armageddon. mentioned in the
Riblc as the scene OF the worlds last
great conflict. General Allenbys sol
diers secured the brdgeheads of the
River Jordan at Afue and Besan
They bivouaced about Mary's we'll in
Nazareth. which historians have
marked as the spring where Christ
drank as child
When Allenby takes Acre he will
duplicate the achievement of Richard
C~ur de Lion during the third crusade
of 1889, In those days the English
crusaders fought beside the German
knights under KING Frederick ! but
the combined forces were not strong
enough TO gain more than precarious
foothold on the Seacoast. The armies
Of Christianity then and for hundreds

Tho following statement regarding
the operations was given out earlier
IN the day:
By s y. ~. on Sep
tember 20 the enemy resistance had
collapsed everywhere save on the Turk
ish left in the Jordan Valley.
Our left wing, having swung around
10 atho east, had reached the line of
Bidich. Baka and Messudich junction,
and was astrido tho rail and roads cou~
vcrgng at Nabulus.
Our right wing, advancing through
difficult country against considerable
resistance. had reached the line Of
Khan Jibeit. one and one quarter miles
northeast Of El-Mugheir. and Es-Sa-
wieh, and was facing north astrdc the
Jerusalem Nabulus road.
"On the north our cavalry, travcrs-
ing the field of Armagcddon, had occu-
pied Nazareth. Afule and Beisan, and
were collecting the dlsorganized masses
Of enemy troops and transport as they
arrived from the south. All avenues
Of escape open to the enemy, except
The fords across the Jordan between
Bcisan and Jisr~ed- Dancer, thus were
closed.
East of the Jordan Arab forces of
the King of the Hedjaz had effected
numerous demolitions on the railways
radiating from Deraa, several impor-
tant bridges, including one in the Yur-
max Valley, having been destroyed.
