nouncement at headquarters that
money, food and supplies were on the
way from various American cities. But,
while deeply appreciative and grateful,
Halifax wants the word accepted as of
ficial that it is best not to start ship
ments until the, general committee has
been advised as to their nature.
6000 PERSONS WOUNDED
Known Dead Now Jf umber 12 80
With 192 0 Unaccounted For
Homeless Xumber 2 5,000.
Newcomers' .Influx Stopped.
HALIFAX, N". S., Dec. 10. A roaring
blizzard, the third to strike this sorely
afflicted city since the blast from the
exploding munition steamer made 25,
000 persons homeless four days ago,
burst from the northeast late today.
Raging with all the fury for which
these northern "Winter storms are not
"d. it all but crushed the hearts of
the brave band of workers struggling
against overwhelming odds to allevi
ate suffering.
For a while contingOits of the Cana
dian army tolled doggedly amid the
Ice-shrouded ruins for the unrecovered
dead, but were obliged to withdraw.
Reigns bearing hospital supplies and
food to the -numerous relief stations
were stormbound. The crippled light
ing system broke down again, leaving
the city in darkness.
Burial Parties Boated by Cold.
Burial parties who had volunteered
their services when the medical au
thorities announced that the recovered
dead must be disposed of at once were
driven to cover. From the devastated
area hundreds of men and women pa
tiently seeking their dead gave up
their task and sought shelter. Relief
trains reached the city In' the height
of the blizzard, but the workers found
themselves helpless.
In tents, barracks, private homes and
public buildings, the homeless have
shelter. Reports from the 6000 wound
ed stated that for them at least the
storm brought no added danger, so
well had they been provided for.
A total of 12S0 persons are now
known to be dead, 940 of whom had
been identified and 1920 are unaccount
ed for.
So serious is the problem of housing
and feeding those already in the city
that a strict embargo was issued to
night against the admission of all per
sons not connected with relief or re
constructive work. Military guards
were detailed to stop newcomers at
Truro. Among the first to feel this
stringent but necessary step were
many Americans, who were halted at
8t. John.
Accommodation Are Short.
The citizens and the authorities gen
erally recognize that the multitude of
visitors who have been flocking in
since railway communication was re
established are moved by the best of
intentions. The city appreciates their
generous desire to help. But there are
pimply no accommodations for them.
In a community of 65.000 inhabitants
26,000 have been made suddenly home
less. These must first be provided
for, as well as the army of workmen
needed to clear away the debris and re
build the city.
The numerous relief agencies orga
nized today under one head, with A.
Handfield Whitman, a prominent busi
ness man, as chairman. All the work,
both on the ground here and in obtain
ing supplies from the outside, will
henceforth be systematized, with Hali
fax people themselves In control of the
situation.
Munitions Ship Sunk.
Taking stock tonight, the general
committee in charge of relief found
that while the storm had upset plans
and greatly delayed reconstruction, con
ditions were by no means hopeless, pro
vided relief continued to come forward
In a substantial way.
A great nervous strain was lifted
from the city today when the munitions
steamer Plcton was towed to sea and
sunk. Almost hourly rumors have been
flying about the city that munitions
ships were afire In the harbor and the
Plcton has been regarded with much
apprehension.
Twice yesterday fire -started on her
decks. In the vessel's hold was enough
explosive to cause considerable dam
age. It was announced tonight that the
Admiralty court hearing as to the cause
of the collision between the Mont
Blanc and the Imo, which was to have
begun tomorrow, had been put over
until Wednesday. Failure to obtain the
services of a competent interpretet
made the postponement necessary.
Nothing has been more cheering to
the city than the assurances of sub
stantial aid from the United States.
There was applause with each an-
COUGHS WASTE ENERGY
Careful physicians always point
out that every cough wears human
strength and tears down the body's
resistive powers. The reason

it peculiarly soothes the tender
membranes while its rich,
creamy food rebuilds the
tissues to avert bronchitis
and lung trouble.
No alcohol just food.
HALIFAX ITXD IS STARTED
Liocal Red Cross Awaits Instruc
tions as to Needs.
Although local Red Cross headquar
ters has received no instructions from
men sent to ascertain the needs for re
lief of Halifax sufferers, a fund has
been started and contributions are be
ing received. Instructions are expected
from Halifax within a short time.
Amedee' Smith, who heads the Red
Cross work in Portland, said last night
that the organization is awaiting ad
vice from the message sent immediately
after the disaster to determine what is
needed most. Until that is received, he
said, nothing will be done except to re
ceive subscriptions, which should be
sent to the local Red Cross with a note
designating that the money given is
for the Halifax fund. i
STEEL ENOUGH IN SIGHT

WAR. NEEDS ASSURED.
Manufacturers See No Reaaom for Fear.
iag Interruption or Delay
In Production.
WASHINGTON. Dec 10. Revision of
steel prices was taken up today by
manufacturers conferring with the War
Industries Board. Prices were agreed
upon several months ago with the pro
vision that they would be reviewed at
this time and adjustments made if
found necessary.
Ample supplies of steel for all the
Government's war needs were assured
to the War Industries Board by repre
sentatives of the Nation's largest steel
mills. They proposed, however, a dif
ferent system of alloting orders to take
Into consideration idle capacity, the
fuel supply and transportation condi
tions. In line with, this suggestion, here
after, placing of orders will be cen
tralized in the hands of J. L. Replogle,
the board's steel expert, and it Is be
lieved that deliveries will be expedited.
Labor problems arising from the
draft and the dismissal of alien enemies
heretofore employed in the mills were
said to be working out "pretty well,"
and the steel men foresaw no reason
to fear Interruption or delay in turning
out war necessities.

WASHINGTON, Dec 10. Utilization
of prison labor for manufacturing Gov
ernment war materials will be dis
cussed at a conference here tomorrow
of prison reform advocates and labor
leaders.
A bill to remove present restrictions
on Government purchase of prison-
made goods already has been intro
duced by Senator Smith, of Georgia.

pushed on to Jaffa, the port of Jerusa
iem. in mid-November.
By November 22 the British had
pushed within five miles of Jerusalem,
on the northwest, and on December 7
General Allenby announced that be
had definite possession of Hebron.
Jerusalem thus was virtually cut off
on all sides but the east.
City Home of Pestilence.
Few details have come through since
that date, but the encircling movement
must have been carried out with con
siderable rapidity, culminating in the
surrender of the city.
In sentimental and romantic aspect
the capture of Jerusalem far exceeds
even the fall of fable-crowned Bagdad.
The modern city of Jerusalem contains
about 60,000 Inhabitants, and is the
home of pestilence, filth and fevers,
but in historic interest it naturally
surpasses, to the Christian world, all
other places in the world. Since the
days when David wrested it from the
hands of Jebusites to make It the cap
ital of the Jewish race Jerusalem has
been the prized prey of half the races
of the world. It has passed successive
ly into the hands of the Assyrians,
Baby Ions, Greeks, Romans, Persians.
Arabs, Turks, the motley crowds or
the Crusaders, finally to fall before
the descendants of that Richard the
Lion Hearted who strove in vain for
its possession more than 700 years ago.
JEWISH PEOPLE ARE JTJBIXAXT
Portland Editor Predicts Boom for
Zionist Movement.
The capture of Jerusalem is the
greatest piece of news to the Jewish
people that has thus far come out of
the war and its restoration to Chris
tian peoples pledged to turn Palestine
over to the Jews for the rehabitation
of their race as a nation, has been
looked for for many centuries, said Dr.
N. Mosessohn, editor of the Jewish Trib
une, of Potland, and formerly a well
known rabbi.
"Its capture by the British Is a most
noteworthy event," said Dr. Mosessohn,
"for that government has promised t
restore Palestine to the Jews, that the
may possess it as a nation. Every
orthodox Jew has long prayed for its
deliverance; in fact, that has been out
prayer through the centuries.
"Undoubtedly, in due time, Jerusalem
and the surrounding country will be
peopled by Jews and I should think not
less than 25,000 young people from this
country would locate there; the older
ones are not so likely to go. The
Zionist movement, which has for its
chief aim the peopling of Palestine and
the upbuilding of the country by Jews
throughout the world, will undoubtedly
receive a great stimulus from the mo
mentous event just chronicled."

Capture of Jerusalem by British Will

NEW YORK. Dec. 10. Word that
Jerusalem had been taken by the Brit'
ish was welcomed today by members "t
the joint distribution committee of the
American funds for Jewish sufferers.
who said It would now be pobb.ble lor
relief work there to be conducted on a
more extensive scale.
A cablegram from the committee's
representatives in Europe which stated
that in Poland and Lithuania alone
1,000,000 Jews were peri&nlng from hun

The message said: "Conditionr are in

stimulating the New York City cam

Twentieth Century Limited Limps
In Nine Hours Late Theatrical
Troupe Lost Rich and Poor
Suffeir From Intense Cold.
CHICAGO, Dec 10. (Special.) Death
began taking heavy toll today in the
Intense cold wave that now envelops
the country east of the Rocky Moun
tains, extending with unusual severity
to the Mexican border and to the south
ernmost tip of Florida. In Chicago,
three persona were frozen to death or
died of exposure, and there were scores
of cases of frozen hands, feet and ears.
Some of these cases were serious and
many deaths from pneumonia contract
ed during the siege are expected. Dis
patches from other cities announce alv
deaths and temperature of 10 degrees
below zero in Pittsburg.
Youngstown, O., reports four dead
and three fatally frozen. Advices to
night from Cleveland, O., announce the
death of eight persons, and from wide
ly scattered points through Iowa,
Southern Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Northern Illinois come reports of peo
ple freezing to death. - There is much
suffering in Michigan, where a fuel
famine exists. Cincinnati reports 8 de
grees, below zero, a remarkable figure
for the Ohio Valley.
North Dakota Coldest.
Chicago is experiencing the coldest
weather for this season of the year
In the last 35 years. Temperature of
7 degrees below zero has not been
recorded here since 18S2, and no relief
is promised by the Government for
several days.
North Dakota appears to lead the
cold column. Devil's Lake, in that
state, shows 24 degrees below zero,
and Pierre, S. D., reports 21 degrees
below zero, -the coldest weather in 20
years for December. (
Minnesota points tonight shows 29
degrees below zero, but it is a dry
atmosphere and is not felt as severely
as in districts where there is more
moisture In the air and only at the
zero mark or slightly lower.
All trains were again late today, the
engineers being unable to make steam.
The Twentieth Century, crack train
from New York, crept in nine and one-
ba.lt hours late and had to refund $1
per passenger for the hoi rs it was be
hind schedule. It was held up by se
vere snowstorms in the vicinity of Buf
falo. Theatrical Troupe Lost.
The "Love o'Mike" theatrical com
pany, coming to Chicago from Provi
dence via .Buffalo, is lost somewhere
In the snow storms east of here and the
opening, scheduled for tonight, has been
postponed until the company is located.
Chicago was warned today to Hoover
ize its coal supply, as it would be ex
hausted in 48 hours with the present
weather continuing. Yesterday it waa
said there was a 10-day supply on
hand, but this estimate-was cut today
when the yards were searched. Great
apartment-houses and the homes of
wealthy were cold because of lack of
fuel and suffering in the tenement dis
tricts was acute for the same reason.
UNIFIED ROADS WANTED
(Continued From Flint Pace.)
which Is general throughout the country and
common to all Industry. Nevertheless, the
railroads under present management are
prepared to furnish ail the transportation
s-hlch the existing- plant can produce under
any form of management.
No Money la Asked.
What the railroads do not ask:
1. They do not ask one billion dollars
from the Government or anybody el so at
the moment; they could not Immediately In
vest It in plant and equipment It they had
It, because of the difficulty In setting ma
terials and labor. That figure represents,
in round figures, what ought to be spent
In every year tor several years to bring the
American railroad plant up to capacity to
handle efficiently the growing traffic. About
$000,000,000 per annum on the average has
been spent for a number of years for road
and equipment, which at present prices,
would be equivalent to about 1. 000.000. 0l0
for road and equipment.
, 2. They do not at this time, aak for
repeal of the anti-trust and antl-poollng
laws relating to them, for they do not con
sider such relief immediately necessary to
Increase unified operations.
The co-operative use ot facilities will be
continued in such way as to obtain maximum
efficiency.
The present system of voluntary unifica
tion Is adequate for this. No Interest haa
declined, or will decline, for selfish or other
reasons, to respond to the requirement of the
present co-operative organization.
Bequests Are Set Forth.
What the railroads do ask:
8. The Immediate appointment of a traf
fice officer to represent all Important Gov
ernment departments In transportation mat
ters with whom the railroads can deal, to
obtain active Government co-operation; the
prompt and orderly transportation of the
Government traffic and avoid the excessive
use of preference orders, which congest traf
fics Instead of facilitating It.
4. Most of the roads need more locomo
tives Immediately and enough new care to
replaca those worn out. There are approxi
mately 3800 locomotives and 38.000 cara still
on order undelivered for American rail
roads. The railroads expect to provide the
capital, but priority orders are essential for
prompt delivery of such equipment.
6. Approximately 2000 locomotives and
150.000 cara, in addition to those now on
order, are necessary to meet the require
ments ot next year. This is no more than the
railroads usually require every year, and at
present prices represent a cost of approxi
mately IdUO.000,000.
Federal Aid Asked.
While a number of the railroads are able
to purchase their quotas of such equipment
without aid. It is apparent that because ths
United States has necessarily occupied the
Investment market for war loans, as evi
denced by the recent Tequest of the Sec
retary of the Treasury that no new private
financing shall be undercaKen without con
ferences with him. the railroads generally
cannot next year provide through their usual
channels for the capital required for the
acquisition of equipment and other possible
additions to plant- They Invoke, therefore,
the co-operation and aid of the Government
through the Treasury Department and tht
Federal Reserve Board to secure for them
the new capital found by the Government
to be necessary not only for enlargement of
plant, but for renewing maturing obligations.
6. Immediate Increases In rates as de
fined by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion special report to meet Increasing oper
ating expenses and strengthen railroad
credit are necessary In Eastern territory
and may become necessary In other terri
tories 7. Railroad men drafted to be en
rolled and assigned to railroad service until
actually needed for military service.

would be an Increase in rates, priority

pointment of a traffic manager for
Government freight, and exemption
from the draft for railroad employes.
Pooling; la Sasrcested.
The railroads' opposition to Govern
ment operation is well understood
among officials who have followed the
situation, but some surprise 'was ex
pressed tonight at their objection to
suspension of provisions against pool
ing traffic and profits. In the opinion
of many officials a complete co-ordination
of railroad systems cannot be ac
complished until the roads pool their
traffic, which of Itself involves a pool
ing of profits.
The advantages in pooling have been
pointed to as the chief argument for
Government operation, since the Gov
ernment, directing the lines, could pool
traffic without violating inhibitions
Imposed now for the protection of the
public.
Two Courses Outlined.
In its special report to Congress
made public a few days ago the Inter
state Commerce Commission held out
two alternatives for relief of the trans
portation situation. One was the sua
pension of anti-trust laws and the
other Government operation. Commis
sloner McChord In a supplementary
opinion, which it haa been said since
is approved by other members, em
phatlcally urged Government operation
as the only remedy.
Those within the Government who
believe the railroads themselves can
handle the situation If given free rein
do not oppose legislation to make a full
pooling compulsory. If such a course
were pursued, they admit, it might be
advisable to name a uovernment rail
road administrator who would see that
the wishes of the Government were
carried, out.
Statement la Issued.
Before seeing the President today
Senator Newlands held a, conference
with members of the Railroad War
Board, at which Mr. Harrison's letter
was delivered to him. Later Senator
Newlands gave out a statement in
which he said:
"The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion and the Railway War Board, com
posed of railway executives, differ as
to the necessity of legislation in order
to meet the urgent requirements of the
war. The Commission Insists that uni
fication of. operation should be con
ducted either by the carriers or by the
President.
"The railroads, on the other hand,
contend that there is no necessity for
legislation; that the unification of the
railways already arranged for under
the Railroad War Board is proceeding
successfully and will be further per
fected; that they do not ask for the
repeal of the anti-trust and anti-pool
ing laws as relating to them; that they
do not ask $1,000,000,000 from the Gov
ernment or anybody else."
r Collapse la Denied.
Mr. Harrison's letter to Senator New
lands follows:
The American railroad system has not
broken down- . On the contrary, it has in
recent months bandied 50 per cent more
business than In 1813 without material en
larteement ot plant.
Some misconception seems to exist as to
the Immediate requirements of the rail
roads In their present situation. Their chief
operating troubles are a volume of traffic
greater than ths capacity of the plants in
certain limited territories, aggravated by
excessive use of preference orders and thsir
bow serious milady of "dilution" of labor.
Citlsen. Haa No Conatltntlonal Right to
Posseaa Liquor Which State
Wishes to Forbid.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. With a de
cision upholding the Idaho prohibition
law, the Supreme Court today gave an i
opinion which may be one of the most
far-reaching victories for "bone dry"
prohibition yet recorded. .
It was held that a citizen has no
constitutional right to possess liquors
for his personal use if the etate wishes
to forbld.it. -
Justice McReynoIds. who gave the
court's opinion, held that a state "has
power absolutely to prohibit manufac
ture, gift, purchase, sale or transpor
tation of intoxicating liquors within
its borders without violating the Constitution."
"We further think," he added, "it
clearly follows from our numerous de
cisions upholding prohibition legisla
tion that the right to hold intoxicat
ing liquors for personal use la not one
of those fundamental privileges of a
citizen of the United States which no
state may abridge. A contrary view
would be incompatible with the un
doubted power to prevent manufacture,
gift, sale, purchase, transportation of
such articles the only feasible ways
of getting them. An assured right of
possession would necessarily Imply
some adequate method to obtain not
subject to destruction at the will of
the state."

Skepticism Expressed as to Ability of

If the armament competition con

cars are guaranteed to you. Our guarantee is what a guarantee
should be. You always guard your money when you look for a
bank to keep it in, don't you? Buy your automobile in the same
good business way and you are sure to receive lasting satisfaction.
