Relative Losses of the Allies
Official figures published in connection
with the losses sustained in the war by
Italy show, says the Rome correspondent of
the Central News, that the Italian losses for
killed, which amount to 460,000, represent
1.2 per cent. of the total population.
The 1, 071,000 French dead show a similar
percentage on the population of France,
while the British losses, placed at 668, 704,
give a percentage of 0.15.
In every case the population of the
Colonies are included for the puposes of
working out the percentages.

"Ancient Prophecies"
In the book of Daniel it is written - "Blessed is he that
waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred & five
& thirty days" - how the year 1335 of the higira Arabic calendar , is the
1917 of the Christian era, the year in which Jerusalem
was freed. And there is an old Arab saying
which reads - "When the Nile flows into Palestine
then shall the prophet from the west drive the Turk
from Jerusalem". When this prophecy was made
it must have seemed utterly impossible that the
waters of the Nile should ever flow over two hundred
miles of desert into Palestine. But the pipe line
laid by the Turkish Army brought the Nile water
from Kantara & just before the capture of Jer-
usalem this water from Egypt was being pumped
into Palestine north of Gaza at the rate of thousands
of gallons a day - Then " the prophet" in arabic
is Al Hebi & General Allenby was known as
Al Hebi by the entire native population - So the
old prophecy was fulfilled to the letter.
Our London men were the successors of Richard Coeur-de-Lion
the 1st crusaders & well parched
& led theircamels the way of Old Testament history using the Bible as their
guide book. From their base at Kantara they followed the oldest
caravan route across the desert of Sinai from Gaza to Jerusalem
It was this way "Moses" guided the Israelites when they left Egypt
The same road Joseph & Mary & the infant Jesus came into
Egypt to escape Herod. Napoleon led his army along
this road when he attempted to capture Palestine, he left the
houses of many french soldiers to whither in the desert sun
but our British troops & Australians & Indians passed
along with forty six thousand horses, 40,000 camel, 15,000 mules
& three thousand five hundred donkeys carrying the water
