The rate of progress was to be eight miles on the first day, twelve on the second and twenty on the third. In spite of their intense gunfire of massed batteries, supported by Austrian howitzers and large num- bers of heavy trench mortars, the Germans' plans were thwarted, so far as this rapidity of progress was concerned.

It is an en- largement of his strategical plan in attack of Nov. 30 against the lines we held after the first Cambrai battle, and it covers the same ground on a much wider boundary.

The Hebron of To-day. Hebron, or Khulil er Rahman ("The friend of the merciful one"), lies some twenty miles to the gouth- west of Jerusalem, in a narrow val- ley 3,040 feet above the sea, which can be seen 40 miles away, from a View Tower, built behind the Russian Hospice, where, in the gardem, the traditional! Oak of Mamre is slowly dyiug. Hebron is set along the east- ern side of the Jerusalem road amid vineyards, olive groves, and almond and apricot trees, while its fertile en- virons are well watered, mainly by three deep springs, Sarah's Well at the foot of Rumeideh Hill being one of them. The chief industries of the population (variously given as 22,000 and 10,000, mostly Moslems) are the manufacture of water-skins and glassmaking, which has been in oper- ation there since the Middle Ages, | and a brisk trade is carried on with the Bedouins, The city was destroy- ed by the Romans, and was captured by Saladin in T7187. Near Hebron, meaning "Alliance," is the Cave of Machpela, which Abra- ham bought from the "Sons of Hen! e ward, King George, and his brother, the late Prince Albert Victor.
