The Turks, the Bulgars and the Ger- niianless Bolsheviki are ali on the run and going fast.

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.

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.

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.

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.
