THE MARCH ON JERUSALEM
General Allenby's present campaign
in Palestine is causing something
like a panic in Turkish military
circles. The British have not
advanced far into the enemy's country
but they have advanced over and
thru Turkish armies sent to bar their
passage and, unless Germany comes
to the rescue of her hard-prest ally,
the Jews and Syrians will soon be un
der the shelter of the Union Jack and
no longer subject to the tyranny of
the Cresent. The British army is
advancing northward with cavalry,
artillery, "tanks" and airplanes; supported
on the Mediterranean coast
by detachments of the British and
French navies. While engaged in
this work of co-operation a British
destroyer and a monitor were sunk
by an enemy submarine.
On November 9 the British army
took the city of Askalon and with it
700 Turkish prisoners and thirteen
cannon. 'Ihe retreating Turks, who
were supported Dy Austrian artillerymen,
fell back on Hebron, about
twenty miles south of Jerusalem.
During the whole campaign the Turks
are estimated to have suffered more
than 10,000 casualties, exclusive of
their loss in prisoners. ,
Foreign Secretary Balfour promised
British favor for the establishment
of a Jewish nationality in Palestine.
%The Brtish stipulate, however,
"that nothing shall be do/ie to
preudice the civil and religious
rights of existing non-Jewish communities
in Palestine ot the rights
and political status enjoyed by Jews
in any other country."
NORTHCLFFE ASSAILS
BRITISH GOVERMENT
*
S
Lord Northcliffe, who has returned
to England from his war mission to
the United States, has rejected the
position of Minister of Air Operations,
offered to him by Premier
4
Lloyd George. The tone of his let,
tor is one of marked discontent with
the present British Goverment and
seems to foreshadow an attempt to
overturn the cabinet. This is by no
means an impossibility, for Lord
Northcliffe's opposition, voiced Ly the
chain of newspapers which he controls,
was largely responsible for the
overthrow of the Asquith ministry
and the elevation of Premier Lloyd
George to his present post.
In his letter Lord Northcliffe praised
the war preparations of the United
States and Canada "little understood
on this side of the Atlantic" and contrasted
them with the mismanagement
prevalent in England where
"there are still in office here those
who dally with urgent questions as
that of the unity of war control, the
eradication of sedition, the mobilization
of the whole man and woman
power of the country and the introduction
of compulsory food rations."
He also criticized the censorship and
"the absurd secrecy about the war
which is still prevalent." "Unless,"
he declares, "there is swift improvement
in our methods here the United
States will rightly take into its
own hands the entire management
of u great part of the war. It will
not sacrifice its blood and treasure
to the incompetent handling of attain
in Europe."
