Turkish Troops are Fleeing to the Rihs
British Victory is More Irnpor- tant Than Number of Pris- oneTs Taken Indicates.

London, Sept 22 British Wireless Service) Further information re- ceived concerning the dramatic ad- vance of the British army in Palestine, begun during the night of Sept. H5 serves to confirm the completeness of the surprise and the magnitude of the success. A special correspondent at General Allenby's headquarters writes:
 The victory is much more impor- tant tsaan tke number of prisoners at present reported indicates, for the Turk has had a smashing blow and is retiring into the hills as fast as his weary legs will permit. The British are pressing him with splendid ener- gy, delivering soverpowering blows in every attempt to resist.
 The situation is most promising. It is certain that General Allenby will now deliver another large portion of Palestine from the dominion of the Turks as well as inflict on the enemy severe defeat
 Preparations for this battle entail ed a good deal of marching. The troops were always moved by night ard re- mained hidden in the orange and olive groves in the daytime. The British mastery of the air prevented er<mS observers from seeing any change 1T the dispositions and the movements of large columns Troops of all arm: l were thus concealed skilfully in z country where the marching of me1 raises huge columns of dust. and thu 1 Turk, too, possessed positions tha | comma nded a wide range But he re mained mystifed, which is the fines | tribute that could be given to tar work of the British staff
 The infantry opened way for tn i cavalry to pass through, and thel
 there was a wonderful spectacle o

 l have just completed an inspec- tion of the ports and am now making thorough inspeGtion of the service of supplies from hare and later I am thence to general headquarters. have been in England and return there in week .or, ten days, returning again to France from England, and will spend some time with our combat ant troops in the American sector. af- ter which I will sail for home.
 Six months have elapsed between the time of my two visits to the ports and the service of supply The progress which has been made in building up the great facilities upon which the subsistence of the army ex- ists is amazing. From the docks to the central storage facilities enlarge ments have taken place everywhere on d scale which beggars description. The promptness, efficiency and accuracy of the service are evident and the spirit of the officers and men is confident and high. Greatly accelerated ship ments of troops from the United States have of course made heavy de- mands upon the supply system. It has more than met it's burden"
 The correspondent of The Associated Press told Secretary Baker that he had been with the serV;ce of supply for six months and that once the American officers talked of the Ger man organization. The secretary in fterrupted, saying: We've beaten it i from the beginning"

(By The Associated Press.)


 With the violence of the operations on the western front in France con- siderably diminished in intensity, the Turks in Palestine and the Bulgarians and their allies in Macedonia are be- ing put to the test. But nowhere thus far have they been able to hold back, or even to counteract, the onslaughts of their foes.
 In Palestine the Turks seemingly are in the process of being crushed; in Macedonia the entente forces are driv- ing sharp wedges for considerable dis tances into the enemy fronts.
 In France and Flanders where there has been any fighting rising in inn portance above patrol encounters, the British, French and American troops have kept the upper hand and ad- vanced their respective lines.
 Of transcendent interest, for the mo- ment, at least, are the operations of the British General Allenby's forces in Palestine. Here in less than four days the British have swept forward in the center between the River Jor- dan and the sea and taken famous Nazareth, while their wings closed round in a swift enveloping move ment and nipped within the nav of the great pincer all the Ottoman forces in the coastal sector. the plain of Sha- ron the hill region in the center and along the western Jordan valley Meanwhile to the northeast the friend ly Arab forces of the king of the He'd jas have cut all railway communica- ton in front of the fleeing Turks and are standing q barrier to their escape by way of the eastern plains.
 Wore than lS.o00 Turks had been made prisoner by the British and guns in excess of TO had been counted when the last reports from General AIenby were received. In addition great quantities of war stores had Lsen captured. and still others had rat been counted owing to the rapid ity of the movement.

taut, closing the mouth, thousands of Turks are enmeshed. Many of those already made priso0er, fleeing in dis order, literally walked into the hands of the British, not knowing their line of retreat had been cut off.
 Although the Turks at eome points offered considerable resistance to the British, at no point were they able to stay the advance, even on the famous Field of Arrnageddon, across which the British cavalry swept and occupied Nazareth to the north.
 In Macedonia the Italians have join ed the fray with the British, French, Serbian and Greek troops and are hard after the Bulgarianss and their allies, who are being driven northward through southern Serbia. Between the Cerna and Varda rivers. although the Bulgarians and Germans are send ing up endorsements, the allied troops have continued their pressure The Serbians west of the Vardar river have crossed the Prilepe- -Ishtib road at Kavardar, which constitutes an ad- vance of more than 20 miles into their cnce-held territory. To the east of Monastir the Italians have begun op erations in the famous Cerna Bend and have taken several positions, while between the Cerna and the Var da the French also have met with sue cesses.
 On the French front the British north of the Scarpe River advanced their line on a two mile front, while east of Epehy, lying between Cam brai and St. Quentin, and at several other points on this sector in strong fighting they captured German posi- tions. On that part of the front he'd by the French there was little activ- ity except by the opposing artillery, which at times was heavy.
 On the Lorraine front the Ameri- cans have carried out two successful raids against the Germans and taken prisoners. In addition some casual ties were inflicted on the enemy. Sev- eral guns also were captured.

The shell, of canister, is about A inches long by inches in diameter. The range of the projector is some four hundred yards greater than those previously in use. Two hundred of the new shells which fell between the advanced post and the front line contained phosgene gas.
