Welsh Troops' Part in Palestine. I Spksutid Work in i^u^ed. it ills. Jerusalem hnjoying the Mew j I iI Writing from Jerusalem on Dec. j -Masscy, Btitiah prc&i j tonv.sj'.oadont with the forces, says:— Our soidiers. whose Y. be- havi-'u/ is everywhere acknowledged, are i\cld in high regard by all. I Bethlehem was taken from the Turks, wiibhoat any attempt of direct attack, through li- vigorous p'Ogrè3S of Welsh and Homo Counties troopa. j That they viewed &he pr'ospect cf I dri'lring the Turk out of his hoiv site with feelings of national pridf; was instanced by the remark made bv a ¡ footsore Welsh soldier, wh-o. when j told by a Sta.ff officer he had better I get into the ambulance, replied, "No, indeed; there's Bethlehem aiid Itru- salem bof\üre me." This soldier had trudged up and down mountains as steop and rugged a..s his native hills, but toiled 011 manfully, despite his pain, to take his share in ousting the enemy from the saored places. The Welshman, nsft-urally, are very proud of the part they played in these historic victories. They had their full s hare of the trials and of the campaign. Recently they haye been. fighting at altitudes about equal to the crest of their own Snow don. j ami thev have quitted themselves like men. Before they could get from Khuweilfeh, where in the early davs of the advance they beat off the deter- mined attacks of two and a half Turk- ish divisions, to the Hebron road they had made a road through the moun- tains in one day. The road nc-rth- wards was considerably longer than shown on pre-war maps. because when the Turks planned the attack on the Canal German engineers, to improve the gradients, made some long zigzag roads up the mountains. The Welsh and Home Counties troops marched, therefore, longer than the old maps suggest. The road was badly blown up about Hebron. I DIFFICULT COUNTRY. It was typical rearguard country, where the enemy cavalry could have delayed our progress, but though oome cavalry were seen the march was rapid. The strong line on the south- ern end, Ras es Sherifeh, was occu- pied unopposed. We thus obtained the highest point in Southern Pales- tine. and thenee pto-osded to witt.r at SMom?n'? Pc'&Lt. Sharit'e-k h?d &? at P?-Olx. Shop-Ifsk, Ikad aR rerses and breaatworks be5*g bfaufc!- fullv made. In fro^t exf that the hill Baad took a bend to the west, the whole of it expoeej to the defences south of Bethlehem, aaid it became nec-eesar to securre the hilb on the east side of the road before adrftmang. I This was a desperately bad bit of country, and the battalion which ww:t j to st found it impossiiblft to get the | mules up. The Cheshires went up one n!immtaita without greatooatf?, blankets and rations. Raiit fell hearilv, all eight, th. oold was }.t.m: jt.ê Ne i pack ttoipals eoald resbk tiisM, hut j the oommanding officer reported the •; man all right, amd next day, when the battalion was relieved, the men f marched to their transport whistling, j ha,ppy but almost ffczeB. and onJv one i man reported sick. This sample of hardy British soddisra, 8Dked to the I skin. cheerfully endured the piercing j blasts and high wind, for the goal I wæ worth any sa?'rince. ¡ From the top of Sh?ri?eh the Staff had a beauiJful v-iew of Bethlehem and Jerumlem for five minutes at dawn, I then a heavy fog e»v-ek»ped the sum- mi t for the r<eroa.nKi«r -Of the day. I However, the best use was made of the fog, for the force watered at Sob- roan's Pools, though the- were withia I rifle range of the enemy trenches. ) BETHLEHEM SPARED. J 1 The gons in position amongst the trees on the southern outskirts of Bethlehem had the range. The com- mander decided to take Best Jala* a picturesque town on the slopes west of Bethlehem, and refuse Bethlehem it- self, thus avoiding any semblance of fighting around that hallowed spot. With same London Yeomanry on his left, Jala was occupied, and after a.n- I other had night it was found that the enomv had left the Bethlehem de- fenees. [ An advance on Jerusalem was order- ed immediately. Leading Welsh troops fighting east of JenL-aAem, by a j determined attack down the Jor jcho  r<Md so threatened tb? Turks' rear that the enemv wera compelled to ?ve the Mount of Olives, where they had man" machine guns. Since then the Welshmen hare taken an important share in pressing the Turks back. During the last two dayr, thev have brought in nearly 150 prison era. From a splendid point of obser- vation I have seen something of their work, and, far beyond the ridges they hold securely, I have looked upon the Itiiver Jordan and the Dead Sea. the surfaoe of which is occasionally ruffled by Turkish motor-boats conveying stores. In their ?.rd;uou> march north the Welsh troops saw mucli of the Egyptian camel transport corps, and speak in terms of the highest praise of the Egvpti.an.s' cn'orts to get up sup- plies WhfJl the oameb four.dcvred in masses of mud. These Egjptia* J cameil man behaved magnificently under circumstances of immenst dili. ("ulty, iii a temperature so low that, with bl#.ikets worn a.* shawls over thick greatcoats, the Egyptians were always shivering. They have proved excellent workers for this arm. CONTENT IN JERUSALEM. Jerusalem to-da.y is smilin--az)d con- tented. Food supplies are not abun- dant, but there iw sufficient. Affluent people never were hungry, but during the war prices went up so high, and the paper money in circulation was at such a discount, that the poor suffered greatly, and I am told the poor had nianv deaths from, slow atar- vation. Now the conditions have undergone a remarkable change. We are giving employment to all majes in road making. In the suburbs the roads had beoai a llowed to became rough and brokan on th,e surface by the Turks., Now big gangs of the poorer population are improving them receiving ample rates of pay in cash, with which they can buy food at reasonable prices. One of tha reasons for the higfc prices of foodstuffs during the war was that Turkish officers bought ooneider- able supplies of wheat and flour from 1 heir military depots, being debited s.gainst their pay, which was paid ia paper. Th«*r Bold the suppliee far gold, whhjh was worth fire t)11188 more 1ha' the ].i"p«r. Whem in tha middle of Ncreaaber there was a pro«pe«t mf tlie Turkish evacuation ,J6rul., I the omer:" sold out their stocks of provisions, with the result that prices came <towa consi-derabl- • but when it was again decided to defend the city the cost of food again rose to almost famine price. »
