LONDON, Nov. 23. The capture of the important Mediterranean port of Jaffa, the ancient city of Joppa of biblical times, is bailed as one of the most encouraging events of the present week. Gen. Sir Edmund Allenby, in charge of the Anglo-French-Italian forces in Palestine, is now almost within sight of Jerusalem. Sir Edmund after capturing Gaza, the city where Samson enacted his

great tragedy, has also occupied Askkalon, the birthplace of Herod the Great and the scene of the defeat inflicted by Baldwin, King of Jerusa

lem, upon the Saracen Sultan Sala-

ride on horseback from the Holy City of Christendom.

As to whether the resistance will be

of a very determined character it is

difficult to say. The cable dispatches seem to indicate that the Turks in that portion of Palestine have had their morale deeply affected by the numerous defeats which they have sustained. Large quantities of their guns and supplies have been captured, and those who have been taken prisoners bitterly complain of the manner in which they have been neglected by the government at Constantinople, which has failed to furnish them with re-enforcements, with money for

the payment of the troops, with foodstuffs and with ammunition. They are said to declare that Enver Pasha has sold them and the entire Turkish empire to the kaiser, and they manifest the most profound loathing for their German officers, whom they denounce as brutal, as selfish and as particularly revolting in all their treatment of Moslem religious prejudices. In fact, the Turks still holding the approaches of Jerusalem are reported to be thoroughly disaffected and demoralized, and the only fear Is lest their German officers should suffil their own threats and those made from Berlin to the effect that if the allies reach Jerusalem they will find the Holy City a mere mound of ruins and every one of the sacred shrines and holy places of Chrlsten-

vlew of Jaffa from the sea.

dom destroyed in the same ruthless manner as the Cathedral of Rhelms, the stronghold of Coucy-le-Chateau and all those other glorious memorials of mediaeval art in western Franco and Flanders, which, spared by all previous wars and invasions, have been shelled, burned and blown up by Emperor William's hordes during the past three years. Sir Edmund Allenby, like Sir Douglas Haig, is a cavalry officer, and was in command of the entire cavalry of the first British army In France, contributing in no small degree with his mounted men to save the sorely tried infantry and artillery in their now historic retreat from Mons. He is one of the very few generals inactive service since the beginning or the war at whose doors no mistakes nor errors of judgment have been laid, and he Is known as a leader of exceptional re

sourcefulness who never hesitates about shouldering a responsibility. On his etaff are some of the greatest nobles of Great Britain, of France and of Italy, who, in emulation of their Crusader forbears, have volunteered for service in the Holy Land and who look forward to taking part within the next week or two in his triumphal entry into the Holy City, where their ancestors flourished in the days of its Christian domination seven and eight centuries ago.
