" CB0SS W0W ABOVE CRESCENT Victory Delayed to Some Oegree to Avoid Damage to the Sacred • Places--Campaign Opened by by English Last March. London, Dec. 12.--Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, an­ nounced in the house of commons on Monday that Jerusalem, after being surrounded on all sides by -British troops, had been surrendered by'the Turks. The chancellor said British, French »nd Mohammedan representatives were on the way to Jerusalem to safe­ guard the holy places. General Allenby reported that on Saturday he attacked the enemy's po­ sitions south and west of Jerusalem, the chancellor stated. Welsh and home county troops, advancing from the direction of Bethlehem, drove back the enemy and, passing Jerusalem on tile east, established themselves on the Jerusalem-Jericho road. At the same time London Infantry and dismounted yeomanry attacked the strong enemy positiohs west and northwest of Jerusalem and placed themselves astride the Jerusalenj- Shecchem road. The holy city, being thus isolated, surrendered to General Allenby. The chancellor announced that Gen­ eral Allenby expected to enter Jeru­ salem officially during the day, accom­ panied "by tfie comihanders of the French and Italian contingents and the heads of the French political mission. British political officers, together with the British governor, were In the party that had gone ahead on the safeguard­ ing mission. The capture of Jerusalem had been delayed to some degree, added the chancellor, in consequence of the great care that had been taken to avoid damage, to the sacred places In and around the city. The British campaign in Palestine was opened last March and has been prosecuted steadily since then, by Gen. Sir Archibald Murray and by General Allenby, who assumed mand on June 29. The advance was northward along the Mediterranean coast, but was necessarily slow be- caues of the arid desert that had to be crossed. Jerusalem, the birthplace of Chris­ tianity, is the mdst fought-for city in the world. "Down through the ages it has been battled for by .Tew, Moham­ medan, Pagan and Christian. The hills of Palestine have been drenched with Christian blood In mighty battles fought hy fanatfc Christian invaders. The historic city has been destroyed and rebuilt times without number, only to finally fall for the second time into the hands of Chrtstinn British. The gigflnllc British encircling strat­ egy took in. on the south, the little town of Bethlehem, where Christ was horn, 2,017 years ago. There settns to be no doubt that the capture of Jerusalem is one of the most stupend­ ous moral victories of the war. It Is a unique fact that British lead­ ers and British armies now, as in the centuries past, are still the tenacious, successful foes of Mohammed's people.

Chairman Stone of the senate for­ eign relations committee presented the resolution and moved its immediate adoption. Besides the reason that Austria is Germany's active ally and as such has committed warlike acts* against/ the United States, Senator Stone declared there was the further reason that inas­ much as Italy, France and Belgium comprised one battle front, American troops might at any time be facing Austrians.
