(Special to The Guardian) LONDON, SGDL 21.--The newg h-gm the eastern battle fronts in Syria, Macedonia and Russia is excellent. The Turks, the Bulgars and the Ger- niianless Bolsheviki are ali on the run and going fast. '
The greatest news comes from Pai.
estine where Allenby has begun his campaign for th'e conquest of the Vil- ayet of Beirut with clean break' throug the Turkish positions, operations are in progress against what the London Times speaks of as the flower of the Turkish army on the entire fifty mile front between the Jordan and the sea and are aided by- naval forces on the coast, while east of the Jordan the Ara/be are cutting the Turkish railway on the edge of the Syrian des- ert and making'it extremely difficult to rush reinforcements southward from Damascus. The eriemy's ptrongest positions were in the region north of Jaffa and there they were over-run on Thurs- day hy British. French and Indian troops .who went throughithe entire defensive system -to a depth of iive miles. in less than four hours the Turks began to fall iback in disorder toward Nablus. the ancient Schechem the chief road and rail centre of the region. British, Indian and Austral- -ian _c_aY.alr3_`.have-been loosed upon the, fleeing Turks and are rounding tli'sin_u-p in large numbers. Over 3,000 prisonershave passed through the cages ind many more are coming in.
vicroav oven NATURE As wEi.if A8 TURK
Allenby's victory is a victory over
nature as well as the Moslem. The desert has always been a great obst- acle' to an invasion of Palestine and northern Syria. From the south the British conquered the desert iby lay- ing a railway across it and by bring- ing.water for the operation of this railway from the region of the Suez Canal. .lin the campaign of last fall the country between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean coast was swept clear of the Turks- by General Allen- by's army. Jaffa, the Joppa of scrip- ture, was captured by the Australians on November 18 and the British army
thus secured a base or rather an an- chorage on the Mediterranean coast] A dismantled railway from Jaffa con- necting with the |Dam'nscus‘-.ierusal- em line gave Opportunity which was no doubt \piedily_taken advantage of to repair thejine and bring in the -bulk of the ariuy su-pplies by water instead of continuing the long rail ‘haul from liigypt. Alienby entered Jerusalem on Dec. 11_and operations were coatinueduntii prajcticaily all of Judea, including, 1 the 'Jericho' district

The presence on the westerri front,
near Cambraii, of a scottish territorial division which constituted an im- portant part of the army in Palestine was disclosed recently. In a despatch from Sir Douglas Haig it was also sn-
Knounced some time that the troops of the indian army used in the exped-
xitions to Palestine an dMesopotamia ‘have been materially increased and ‘that probably twice as many men Ifrom the indian army will be used on these fronts as in former campaigns.
THE TURK8 A-,BOUT ALL IN
This season the spirit of the Turks
in Syria has probably been broken by 'failure to obtain sufficient supplies. ‘They have always fought well in the itrenches but in the open and espec- »inlly in a losing fight they have not stood up to the punishment.

In Macedonia the -Serbs and French
are pushing tho Bulgars out of the ground ‘between the Cerna and the Vardor. On a front of over twenty fivr. miles they have advanced on an av crage about seventeen miles and havt crossed the Ccrnn at a point more than t\ven`ty miles from the front as it ex isted before the advance began. Over five thousand prisoners, eight guns;
'many of them heavies, and large stores of war material have been cap 'tured by the Serbs and French. East of the Vnrdar the British and Greeks are not oil’ to so good a start. On o ten mile front an advance of little ov- er a miie was made on Wednescday' but on the left, to the west of Lake Doiran the Bulgnrs came back in a strong counterattack and recaptured
part ‘of the lost gropndl after fierce fighting in which the Greeks who took part in the Buttle displayed great gallantry. The Allied troops captured over 700 prisoners. The Buigars state they took over live hundred unwound- od British and Greek prisoners and that many of the Allied soldiers were killed and wounded in the fight. The ,Bulgars admit ,that they‘have retired wost of the Vardar to new positions previously assigned.,-= That sounds like Berlin at its best.
