LONDON, Sept. 23. —Moving north
ward with surprising speed and pow
er, the allied troops in Palestine seem
to,have deAlt the Turks a blow that
may shatter thei r power in that
theatre of the war.. So far as reports,

completely routed and the march of
the British, French and Arabs toward
the sea of Tiberias virtually is un
opposed.
The advance has carried the allies
past the village of Nazareth and they
are approaching the line east of the
ancient city of Tyre. To the north
is Beyrut, while off to the north
west, seventy miles away, is Damas
cus. These two cities are important
centers in this region of the world
and their capture would mean .com
plete disorganization of the Turkish ,
mavLifery of war over a wide area.
Over 18,000 prisoners and 120 can
non were captured.
