JERUSALEM RECOVERED. BA ere: City of Peace, as the name means in the Hebrew—wrested from the Turke! Gen. Allenby and his forces have done more than #ignalise the defeat of tho loug, stubborn attempt the Kaiser and his Turkish allies have made to force their way down through Asia Minor to the Suez Canal and open for themscives roads into Egypt and to India, Even western nations absorbed by the grim and terrific phases of the great conflict that are being fought out on their home soil will thrill to the news that Jerusalem is in British hands. Jews and Christians alike can rejoice that the ancient capital with its sacre¢ and august associations has beon recovered at last from Mohammodan rule. The long line of conquerors who in past centuries have entered Jerusalem—Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great, Ptolemy L., Antiochus, Pompey, Herod, Chosroes II. (the Persian), Omar, Godfrey of Bouillon, Saladin—comes down at last to a sturdy British General who takes possession of the city in the name of democracy, self-gov- ernment end the protection of peoples against the ruthless ambitions of dynasties, Only a day or two ago the United States Consul revently re- turned from Jerusalem described the sufferings of the Jews in Palea- tine owing to the policy of German organizers who demand the first produce of the land for the armie “It {s absolutely necessary.” declared the Consul, “for the integrity of the Jewish race, for the permanency of the Jewish people, that the Allies should win the war. Every Jew should pray, wish and hope for his own snake, for the sake of his people, for the sake of the ancient prophecy, that th Entente Powers should achieve a final and complete victory.” In the general progress of the war the capture of Jerusalem marks the breaking down of the Turks at the task allotted them by Berlin. The British have rolled the Turkish forces back from the Canal. There will be no triumphal Turco-Teutonic marches into Egypt or the East. So far, from the point of view of the Allies, the taking of Jeru- salem carries reassurance as to the defeat of German plans in this qnarter and stimulates fresh effort on the western war fronts to ruin hepes that Germany may base of the results of Russia’s collapse. * The moral effect of the freeing of Jerusalem from Moslem rule is bound to be even more tonic. All Allied peoples will joyfully hail it as one of the great auspicious events of the war. in history stirs the spirit and encourages new faith and confidence Christmas sermons will dwell upon it and spread abroad the wish to see in the recovery of the Sacred City of Pence at this season ® promiso—to hasten the fulfilment of which millions will willingl Fedouble their efforts and their sacrifices. y A WHOLE WINTER AHEAD. HE first severe weather of the winter has hit New York hard. T It is scant comfort to recall assurances that plenty of coal can be mined for American needs during the next few months, se moment when thousands of tons are held up by storm and wind Gat of reach of shivering New Yorkers. Nor are the 40,000 tons on hand st the Jersey terminals enough to last the city more than two or three days, With freight traffic all over the country badly tied up and the thinking more of what the Government may do to them than of buckling to and showing what they can do for themselves, the out- leek is anything but reassuring. As usual at such times the sinal) coal dealer has the hardest work te get coal and therefore it is the small consumer who suffers most. Fuel Administration has been working at the top. Now let it down to where the small dealer and consumer can direct! benefit of ite activities. The present cold spell has sufficiently shown tho unprepared- ness of thie city so far as current coal supply is concerned. And thi only the first half of December. oo y feel the Letters From the People Please Umit communications to 150 words, A Soldier's Thanks, the EAitor of The Drening World: to thank the people of New the splendid way tn which Feeponded to my plea for phono- is.

Mra. Jarr remarked in mild amaze. “How should I remember the hard winter of years ago? I was a mere ohild then.
