The city Of Aleppo was occupied
by British cavalry and armorrd cars
Saturday, says u British official state
ment issued today. The fall of .Aleppo
to the British is the crowning event
of the victorious campaign of General
Allenby. in which he captured Jerusa-
lem and Damascus on his way north
ward through Palestine and Syria.
Alcppo is lS5 miles north ot Damas-
Gus and 20 miles east of the Mediter-
ranean sea. At Apollo the railway line
from Constantinople branches. one
line going south OF Palestine and the
other east and south to Bagdad. With
hlpppo in the hands OF the British. the
Turkish forces facing the British army
In McSopotamia are i'll a more or less
prccariOus position. The railroad
from Aleppo has been their main
source Of supply and the cutting OF the
line at Aleppo renders II useless to the
Turks. An advance northward from
Aleppo would cut the Turkish forces
in Armenia and northern Mesopota-
mia and would open n road over
which to send help to the Czecho-
Slovak and other anti-holsheviki
forces in Russia. Aleppo has popu-
lation OF about $4,000.
-. Information has been given out
from Washington within the past few
days that the United States forces in
France are now employing against the
German front and back areas guns
that are larger and more powerful
than any ever turned out by the

and throw shells that are l6 inches In
diameter They We're originally in

cruisers then building. but because Of
changes in the plans of the cruisers
for which they were intended became
available for the army. The guns are
mounted OH special cars. and each one
il equipped with a whole train. all the
ears heavily armored. This arrange
mcnt provides for the moving OF the
big guns from place to place. making
them less liable to destruction from
overhead bombs or long distance enc
my artillery. The gun trains carry
machine shops. sleeping quarters for
crews. ammunition. and various con-
vrnicnccs. \ she'll from one of these
big guns. which are said to he the
largest ever put into mobile use in
land operations is several times
larger and more powerful than the
shells the Germans threw into Paris
by means of their great long range
gun. Although being used in land
work. the guns are manned and ope-
rated by naval forces.
