POSSIBILITIES IN PALESTINE
General Allenby's Attack Will Pre-
vent Aid Going to the Bulgars;
BY J. w. T. MASON.

New York, Sept. 21.-General Allen
by's resumption of operations in the
Holy Land will play a direct part on
the operations in Europe bysrestrain-
ing the Turks from sending heavy re-
Endorsements to the relief of the Bull
garians.
At the same time agitation against
the Germans in Constantinople will be
encouraged by the impossibility of
Won Hindenburg dispatching troops to
the relief of the kaiser's hard pressed
Mahometan ally. The British success
north of JOppa carries the Palestine
campaign into the plains of Sharon
and puts General Allenby within forty
five miles of the single railway sup
plying the Turks with munitions of
war. This line of communication is
now the main objective of the British
army. 1t crosses the Holy Zand east
ward from Joffa, passes over the Jor-
dan river. borders the southern tip
of the sea of Gallilee and then runs
northeast of Damascus and proceeds
via Aleppo to Constantinople. Once
the British succeed in cutting the line
the Turks will be seriously handicap
ped in bringing up supplies for the
whole province of Gallilee on the west
coast Hereafter General Allenby's
progress will probably become more
rapid.
May Go to Damascus.
mascus. which would mean an inland
campaign, or he will cling to the
country along the Mediterranean coast
with the port of Beirut as his OBJ
jective.
Either of these operations will ne
cessitate the seizure of the sea of
GalliIee as a defensive measure to
prevent a Turkish surprise attack.
The town of Nazareth. ten miles
northeast of the Jaffa-Jordan railroad
and midway between the Mediter
ranean and the southern end of the
sea of Gallilee. will certainly be rev
erently occupied by the British fol-
lowing their occupation of the rail
line of communication. The Turks
are now being driven into a difficult
mountainous country to the east of
the plain of Sharon. The British are
in a position to hold the plains and
this fact makes possible abe employ
ment of f1anking operations. with de n
gerous results for the Turks. Once
the enemy is forced far into the
mountains. his line of communica-
tions, running southwest from the
Jaffa-Jordan railway thru the plain
of Sharon will become lost. There
after the Turks who still cling to the
hills. will sink to the status of
guerillas.
The possibilities. therefore. are ex-
cellent for the accomplishment of a
triumphant coup by General Allenby.

FRANCE, Nov. 12.-(By Mail -
Loss of one foot and part of the Other
did not end the fighting career OF
Owen Holleran, of Atlanta, Ga. A
man with artificial feet is unfit fol-
. infantry duty, SO Owen was honorably
discharged from that branch of ser
vice. Being a soldier of fortune Hol-
leran refused ito be dumped on the
army scrap heap" as he expressed it
In spite of his physical handicap he
wormed his way into the British All
Service, won pilots license. oper.
ating type of machine that did not
require foot manipulation, became a
lieutenant, captain and flight com
mander Some climb for fellow with

you knew Holleran. He had all sorts
Of thrills and adventures, and then
one day-but I am getting ahead OF
my story
Better let Captain E. G. Lowry tell
it, as he told it to me on u rainy n:g'.t
while l was with the British Army.
He was attached to the American EN-
bassy at London before entering the
United States Army. 1t was while az
the London Embassy tha5 he first had
the case of Owen Cobb Holleran call
ed to his attention Captain Lowry s
home also is in Atlanta.
There is material for book in
Holleran's experiences" said Captain
Lowry. Stranger than fiction in
spots. His papers came to me at the
embassy and he has kept up a CORES
pondenCe. There is lot in the chap.
He is clever and brave as they make
them. He was employed as clerk
in the office of the Southern Bell Tele-
phone company in Atlanta. Like many
other young Americans he wanted to
see the great war. 1t got into his
blood long before our country was in
volved. In 1915 he started out from
Atlanta with friend named Gray
They had just $500 between them for
the big adventure. They went to New
York and tried to enlist in the British
Army, but the consul said he couldn't
enroll Americons.

Footless Albanian Is Made
British Air Commander In
Kaleidoscope War Career

From a crossing policeman they
learned that cattle boat was to said
next day. They decided to work the.I
passage. They applied and got the
job. Reaching London, they were &C
cepted at recruiting station in Scot
land Yard. The recruiting sergeant
wanted to know what branch of ser,
vice they preferred Holleran replied
No choice. Just as som serve in
one branch as the other. My only
request 8 that you send us to warm
climate came from the South and
I like it hot
g You can get it hot enough at any
part Of the 'front.' replied the, sergeant.
I see your point, lad, and we'll see
what can be done With a name like
yours, think an Irish outfit is the
rlace for you Hol!eran was assigned
to the Dublin Fusileers. His friend
Gray went to the same regiment. In
a few months Holleran's regiment was
sent to Gallipoli. He served through
that campaign and saw hard fighting.
The regiment went with other British
units to Egypt to be reftted after the
Gallipoli scrap,
Next Holleran went with the Dub
lin Fusileers intor Serbia with the first
Allied expedition. In the mountains
many of the soldiers suffered from
frozen feet and hands Holleran's feet
were badly frozen, and he told me with
a grin that he couldn't help seeing the
funny side of it after having asked
to be sent to a not place.
Fate began to extend a helping
hand to Holleran out there. Attached
to the British Field Hospital in Serbia
were two American surgeons, one from
Georgia and the other from South
Carolina. Learning that Holleran
hailed from Atlanta, they took special
interest in him. They did everything
possible to save his feet, but later,
to avoid more serious complications
and possibly death, they amputated
part of each foot.
"Holleran returned to England,
blighty. He was at Cliveden Hospital
maintained by Mrs. Aston. He was
fitted out with artificial feet there.
When it came time to think about
