("Reuter's" Special Correspondent in Damascus)
JERUSALEM, July 14-With the close of the Syrian campaign, it is pointed out here that within a period of 34 days from June 8 when the Allles entered Syria, a country of an grea of 60,000 square miles has been so effectively penetrated that General Dentz, despite considerable Vichy forces at his disposal, has been obliged to sue for peace. It is emphasised in military circles that, the Allied object could have been achieved in half the time or less if there had been any intention of proceeding on the lines of the German blitz which was possible with the forces at the Allies' disposal.
