WELL LAID PLANS

with the British Forces in Pales-
tine, Friday. Sept a0-(Reutcrs)-
While the Turkish army was occu-
pied in strengthening its defensive
positions Gen. Allenbys plans for
the present British offensive were
carefully maturing. The troops were
insensively trained and the ground
was closely studied. British air
planes prevented enemy craft from
crossing the British lines to observe
the preparations for the attack,
which took the Turks completely by
surprise.
The Ottoman right flank, though
in formidable positions. was over
whelmed. The British troops went
through the enemys wires and cap
tured his first trenches before he
had time to lay down barrage. OF
the remaining works some we're most
powerfully organized but they we're
speedily overcome by the dash and
gallantry of the British and Indian
troops In one sector an entire
Turkish regiment, with it's command
ing officer, was captured with in
significant loss. Within a few min
utes after the offensive was launched
the Turkish troops were streaming
eastward in the direction of Tul
Keran.
The British air supremacy was 50
complete that not one German ma
chine was able to show itself. Brit
ish aYiators harassed the enemy by
a series of bombing raids. while
camps. troops and transports were
effectively machine-gunned by low
flying airplanes.
The German airdromes at the same
time were dominated by British
machines. which dropped bombs on
any plane that attempted to rise.
The airmen also assisted the infant
ry to advance by means Of smoke
screens and night flyers bombed the
