said Wheeler.
Wheeler declared he believed the
report criticising the trade commits

functions of the chamber.

After fencing for ten minutes on
this point, Wheeler angrily declared
he would not answer.
Wheeler also had brush with
Senator Kendrick, who asked him
whether the committee report was
made without reference to its truth
fitness.
You have no right to make that
assumption" Wheeler declared.
Kendrick said he wanted to lear
whether the report was the work Of

ion of the chamber generally
Wheeler said it was not necessary

Advance In Palestine,

Advance In Palestine.
by J. W. T. Mason. United Press
War Expert.]
NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-General
Alleniby is continuing his advance
northward in Palestine, along the
Mediterranean coast road, at about
as rapid a pace as has marked his
constant progress since the present
offensive began The capture OF
Haifa and Acre, by the British, gives
to the allies the use of the excellent
Bay of Acre, for the landing of sup
plies and reinforcements. Haifa, for
this reason, probably will become
the principal base of operations for
the immediate future in the develop
ment of General Allenby's strategy.
The remarkable use to which Cen
eral Allenby has recently put his
cavalry must now begin to be cur
tailed, and for that reason the prog
ness of operations henceaorth Ian-
not be expected to continue the I'M
precedented record OF the last few
days.
Fifteen miles north of Acre. the
plains of Acre terminate in the
mountains of Phoenicia- The plains
of Tyre, somewhat farther to the
north, are available for cavalry OPP
erations, but only to a very limited
extent Hereafter the British must
move their artillery and supplies
through the mountainous territory
OF Phoenicia and Gallillee. The cav
airy cannot conduct pursuits Of the
enemy and must be used principally
as transport animals. Fighting for
the most part will occur on foot
The extent of the opposition which
the Turks will be able to bring
against the British north of Acre
however, must be very limited, at
least for the time being. 1t is i'm
possible for many of the Mahometans
to have escaped IN that direction
General AIlenby, therefore, has the
fact in his favor that his progress
through the hill country toward Bel
rut and Damascus can be properly
organized with little enemy inter
ruption.
The area of the main Turkish regi-
ment is far from the Acre sector.
The Turks, who have crossed the
Jordan. are moving eastward. away
from the Mediterranean coast. They
are reported to have reached Am
man, on the Damascus railway, lis
miles south of that city and eighty
five miles southeast OF Acre, on the
other side of Palestine. Arabs in
strong force are in that vicinity and
the future Of the scattered Turkish
units is uncertain.
