THIS YEAR'S ACTIVITY.

28TH, 1918.

LONDON, February 25th. Reuter's Correspondent with the British Army in Palestine. telegraphing on February 22nd, stated:The lull in the operations since the new year was due to the cold and the wet weather, and to the necessity for strengthening the lengthened lines of communication, now broken by the fresh offensive, which was completely successful, yielding important strategic results. The fighting after Christus left our troops in possession of the importuot heights cast of Jerusa lem and dominating the road to Jericho The Turke had still some forces west of Jericho, and if they had been sufficiently. strong and energetic they might have worked round between Bethlehem and the Dead Sea and even menaced the rend to Hebron. Most of the region between Jerusalem and Jericho is barren, broken, and very hilly till within seven miles of the river Jordan, where it is apparently a level surface, which, however, is fur- rowed with innumerable steep narrow gorges.
