A despatch from London say a: The Holy Land is aflame under the im- petus of a mighty stroke by the Bri- tlfh, French and friendly Arab forces, and the Turks frcm the Jordan River westward tc the Mediterranean are in rout. In less than a day Gen. Allenby's Briti.sb forces, aided by French troops and natives under the flag of the King of the Hsdjas, s-truck the Turkish line over a front of It! miles and pene- trated it to a depth of 12 miles, tak- ing more than 3,000 Turks prisoner end overrunning the entire ho.stile de- fensive system. Railway and high- way junction points were captured and strong forces of cavalry at last accounts were well in advance of the attacking troops, threatening to carry out a turning movement against the fleeing Turks. Meanwhile along the shores of the Mediterranean naval units were clearing the coastal roads of thf enemy by their gunfire. I In addition to the large number oi ' prisoners taken great fiuantities of I war materials had al.so fallen into the i hands of the allied troops, and the pre.ssure against the enemy wan go- ing on unabated. The predicament of ; the Turks is heightened by the opera- I tlons of the Hedjas tribesmen on ths eaiitcrn Ride of the .Jordan, which will prevent' them from taking ref ug« 'across the .stieam in the Jordan Val- ley and compel them to fight their way out of their trouble west of th« rivar as beat they can. El Mugeir, which has been captured I by the British in Palestine, is the j junction of uoveral roads, and its oc- â- cupation will prevent the Turks from ; escaping eastward. There are 18,00C Turks on the west and (),000 on th« I east. Gen.
