General Allenby on Tuesday began a new move against the

Turks east of the Jordan. Our infantry moved due east to attach the enemy in the hills, while our cavalry, taking a north-easterly route, advanced within two miles of Es Salt, on the plateau of Gilead. The Hedjaz Arabs a week earlier had occupied over fifty miles of the railway between Mean and Medina. General Allenby on Tuesday also advanced a mile northward to Mezrah, on the road to' Nablus (Shechem).
