SUPPLY ORGANISATION

WONDERFUL EFFICIENCY

ARMY STILL GOING AHEAD,

(Received September 28, 11.30 a.m.)

LONDON, 27th September. Mr. W. T. Massey writes from Palestine on Thursday: The pace of General Allenby's army does not slacken, although a portion of the force has advanced well over fifty miles. The supply question is one of paramount importance^ The army is going forward practically everywhere. The vast character of the victory can only be appreciated by a close study of maps.

This is not the place or the time to enter into details of the organisation and supply branch, but the efforts of this department are fully in keeping with all the other staff work. Those of us who have seen what is going-on at the front can declare that the problem has been' tackled with marvellous efficiency, i 'All across the country we see columns of lorires and light cars carrying rations and fodder, camel trains, and huge lilies of donkey transport, each in the place where the service vcan be best employed. The testimony of the men is perhaps the best, and it is hard to hear a single "grouse" at the food. Captured rolling-stock is already carrying heavy supplies. We are round the west and south sides v ,of the Sea of Galilee. At Semakh, on' the south, the Turks fought with desperation, but the heavy street fighting was to our advantage.
