Tho <<H)>tore of Jerusalem by tho Itritish forces marks tho end, with two brh'f interlude*, of more than 1,200 yours' is>s.-*?sslon of tho seat of tho Christian religion by tho Moham medans. Kor OTt years tho Holy City has boon in undisputed ownership of tho Turks, the last Christian ruler of Jvriisulom being tho Oorman Kuiperor, Frederick II, whoso short lived doml-l nation lasted from 1220 to 124-1. Apart from Its connection with tho campaign being waged against Tur key by the ltritish in Mosopotamln, the fall of Jerusalem marks tho definite col la poo <*f the long protracted efforts of tho Turks to capture the Suit on- 1 mil and Invade lOgy pt . Almost the first move made b.v Tur key after her entrance Into the war was'u campaign against Kgypt across1 the grout desi'rt of tho Hlula pcnliiNii- ! la.

Two weeks later the Invaders had Ixxmi driven out of Kgypt and the British forces eroased t he border Into Palestine. There had been no hint an to Kng land's intention to undertake a deflu lte Invasion of the Holy I,and and It was with Intense surprise that tin* world learned on March 7 that the British forces had captured Kl Khulll, fifteen mile* south of Jerusalem. Kl Khulll Is the modern name or ancient I lehron. Karly In Xownbcr the Hrltlsh ac tively resulted In the capture of Her sheha. forty miles south of Jerusalem. Simultaneously a coastal column be came at tlve. By November 7 the city t>f (ia/.a was In their hands and the British were pursuing the Turka northward after having inflicted cas ual ties estimated as In oxcopm of 10, (HK). By November 'J'J the British had pushed within tlve miles of Jerusalem, on the northwest, and on December 7, <Jen. A Men by announce^ that he had detlnlte ? possession of Hebron. Jeru salem thus was virtually cut off on all sh|es but the east. Few details have come through since that date but the inclrculatlng move ment must have l>een carried o"l with considerable rapidity. culminating in the surrender of the city.

The modern clt.v of Jerusalem contains about 00.000 Inhabitants and 1m the clKime of |>estlleneo, tilth and fe vers. but In historic events It natural ly surpasses, to the Christian world, all the place on eu,rth. Since the days when I>avld wrested It from the hands of Jebusltes to make It the cap ital of the Jewish race. Jerusalem has been the prize and prey 'of half the races of the world.
