ANCIENT CITY IS STRONO (Oorreapoililence of the ARHOrlated I'r.-sn.) Cairo, Egypt, April 18. Military men here do not believe the British forces now in Palestine will attempt any immediate advance toward Jeru salem. The Holy City, they say. is for the present a secondary considera tion. It is considered unlikely that the capture of Jerasulcm will be at tempted until all the coast region of Palestine is secured, which may take seine time in the conditions of mod ern warfare. The strength ot Jerusalem for de fence is very good. This is no. due to it. ancient walls and towers, nor to the trenches which the Turks have dugrountlahont, but to the fact that the city lies some 2,400 feel above sea level, encircled by rugged moun tains, while the few passes are in I'eep valleys, capable of easy defense. It was these conditions of i.nturul strength that enabled the kingdom of Judah to outlive that of Israel by considerably more years than a cen tury, that made possible the sncce.i:. o, the Jewish uprising against tii e Greco-Syrians, and two centuriis, f ... .I.-1 laier, promnnca inc resistance 01 uic Jews against the Romans.
