Fleeing Moslem Force in
Palestine Virtually Is
Surrounded
$4,000 Prisoners
Have Been Taken
Victors Extend Gains to
North and East; Entente
Losses Slight

LONDON. Sept. 26.--Thc Turkish
Fourth Army on the Palestine front
virtually is surrounded in the region
! east Of the Jordan and faces annihila-
ton by General Allcnby's forces, to-
days advices show.
The total Of prisoners already taken
was increased to-day to $4,000.
The destruction of the Fourth Army,
now hoped for, would complete the
cleaning up of the ATurkish forces in
men.
The precarious position of the Fourth
Army may be seen from the fact that
Arab cavalry and infantry are north of
and British troops to the south. All
these are pressing inward on the en-
cmy, while the Jordan, with the cross
ings, is in the hands of the Allies.
British troops operating in Palestine
are extending their occupation about
the Sea of Gallce. They have occupied
Tiberias and Semakh, on the borders
of that sea, and Es-Samra, it was off
cially announced.
The text of the British statement
reads:
'ln the northern area our cavalry has
occupied Tiberias. Semakh and Es-
Samra, on the shores of Lake Tiberias
(Sea Of Galilee) despite the determined
resistance of the Turkish garrisons.
East Of the Jordan our cavalry has
occupied Amman on the Hedjaz railway
and is in pursuit of the Turkish force
retreating northward along the rail
way.
Since the commencement of the op-
eratlons on the night of September IS
our total casualties from all causes
amount to less than tenth of the
number of prisoners captured"

| German government may come at any
moment. The Socialists and the Centre
party leaders sharply criticised the

declared that the Brest treaty stood
in the way of general peace and that

warfare was to draw America into the
conflict, while Groeber, speaking for
the Catholic party, stated that Luden-

There is a lively struggle between
the militarsts and the moderates, with
Hertling trying to satisfy both. The
Socialists and Erzberger followers are
laying down terms on which they will
enter the government, and those terms
are far from salts sfactory to the mill
admit that they will be helpless if the
left wing of the Reichstag becomes
wholly hostile.
Evidently an attempt is heinc made
to reach compromise. but whatever
change there may be in the personnel
there will be no real change in the
controllers OF German policy.
Moderate forces are fattenng on
German adversity but however large
they may be in numbers. their inhu-
ence is still small Ludendorff con-

remain in power until the Allies deaf

The militarists are up to their ewes

to increase rather than decrease dur

home front is causing them a lot of
worry, but not by tenths as much as

 SHERIFF REPORT

After three-day manhunt Sheriff Wilky'S force and a score of citizens Of the southside, including Yaqui In- dians from Guadeloupe, near Chandler. believe they have surrounded Vincente Gonzales. thought to be the murderer of little Jose Olezes. the son of a Chandler rancher Wednesday after noon.
 No word was received from the posse at the sheriff's office in Phoenix all day yesterday until o'clock last night when Deputy Sheriff Charles Nafziger, who had been on the trail for three days, arrived in Phoenix to place in jail lgnacio Romarez, confessed draft evader whom Nafziger picked up at the government road camp near Superior.
 Nafziger learned from Romarez and other MeXicans at the road camp that Gonzales reached the government camp almost exhausted late Friday night and asked for food, which they gave him. He later crawled into some hay and slept until early Saturday morning Their description of the man tallied ex- actly with that given the authorities by the senior Olezes, who last saw Jose Olezes alive when he was walk lIi5 dOh II lllc IOdu near HIS lOlHGT s ranch with Gonzales.
 Traced to Desert Wells
 Nafziger reported that Gonzales was traced to Desert Wells on his way to- ward the government camp. The posse determined without a doubt that he was fed at Desert Wells and that he slept there Thursday night. leaving early Friday morning.
 The posse when it reached the gov ernment camp searched thoroughly for man tracks but the teams going out to work early in the morning had oblit- erated any tracks that might have been made in any direction except that to Superior, and in that direction no trace, in tracks or otherwise. was found. The search, however, was continued to Su- perior in the belief that the Mexican fugitive might have got past them.
 The possemen after finding nothing in that direction that resembled a clew they concluded that Gonzales was doubling back, possibly to get to Guadeloupe or another small Indian settlement nearby, where he has lived for the past seven years.
 Without Food or Water They feel confident. said Nafziger, that Gonzales will be captured within few hours. He says that the country is filled with possemen, that Gonzales is virtually surrounded. however he says, the country is rough and desolate, and good place to hide in. Gonzales, so far as the sheriff knows, is travelling light. having no food or water with him. In that event, he would hardly stay in a remote place in the hills from water, for any length Of time Gonzales, according to the story told by the senior Olezes to Sheriff Wilky strangled his little son to death on the desert The body of the boy was dis covered by the father. naked and with his overalls tied about his neck.
