ENGLAND TALKS OF ITS
HEROES EAST AND WEST

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Since the tri-
umphal return Of Lord Allenby, "con-
queror of the Hody Land" there has
been some discussion in the press and
military circles Of the relative merits
of military leadership In tho East and
West, There have been suggestions
that war in the West and wal In the
East are SO different In character that
the laurels gained in the second are.
in q military sense. not comparable to
the laurels gained in the first.
The Zionist Review. the official organ
OF the English Zionist federation, makes
a spirited reply to certain critics who,
they infer. seek to discount what is
widely acclaimed as Gen. Allenby's
proved military genius.
Lord Allenhy has returned from the
East to England with a military repu-
tation and the romance OF success sec
ond to those OF no British commander, .
says the Review. I'VE are convinced
that no British commander could have
conducted the Palestine campaign with
brilliance superior TO h manifested
by Lord Allenby. From GAIA and
Beersheba to Aleppo his work bore the
stamp Of genius and we are disposed
to doubt whether any British command
er during the war has a surer claim
to military genius than he"
