JERUSALEM IS TAKEN
Turks Surrender Holy City to British
Moslem Stronghold for 1200 Years
Again Possessed by Christians,
London Andrew Bonar Law, Chan
cellor of the exchequer, announced in
the house of commons Monday that
Jerusalem, after being surrounded on
all sides by British troops, had sur
rendered. ' The Chancellor said British, French
and Mohammedan representative were
on the way to Jerusalem to safeguard
the holy places.
"General Allenby reported that on
Saturday he attacked the enemy's po
sitions south and west of Jerusalem,
the Chancellor said. Welsh and home
county troops advancing from the di
rection of Bethlehem, drove back the
enemy and, passing Jerusalem on the
east, established themselves on the
Jerusalem-Jericho road. At the same
time London infantry and dismounted
yoemanry attacked the strong .enemy
positions west and northwest of Jeru
salem and placed themselves astride
the Jerusalem-Shechem road. The
holy city, being thus isolated, surren
dered to General Allenby.
The chancellor said General Allenby
entered Jerusalem officially Tuesday,
accompanied by the commanders of the
French and Italian contingents and the
heads of the French political mission..
British political officers, together with
the British governor, were in the
party that had gone ahead on the safe
guarding mission, the chancellor
stated.
The capture of Jerusalem had been
delayed to some degree, added the
chancellor, in consequence of the great
care that had been taken to avoid dam
age to the sacred places in and around
the city.
The capture of Jerusalem by the
British forces marks the end, with two
brief interludes, of more than 1200
years' possession of the seat of the
Christian religion by the Mohammed
ans. For 673 years the Holy City has
been in undisputed ownership of the
Turks, the last Christian ruler of Jeru
salem being the German Emperor,
Frederick 11, whose short-lived domi
nation lasted from 1229 to 1244.
Apart from its connection with the
campaign being waged against Turkey
by the British in Mesopotamia, the
fall of Jerusalem was the definite col
lapse of long-protracted efforts of the
Turks to capture the Suez canal and
invade Egypt. Almost the first move
made by Turkey after entrance into
the war was a campaign against Egypt
across the great desert of the Sinai
peninsula. Id November, 1914, a
Turkish army variously estimated at
from 75,000 to 250,000 men marched
on the Suez canal and succeeded in
reaching within striking distance of
the great artificial waterway at sev
eral points. For several months bitter
fighting took place, the canal being
defended by an Anglo-Egyptian army,
aided by Australians and New Zealand
ers and French and British forces.
TO ASK FOR UNIFIED ROADS
Wilson to Appear Before CongTess for
Better Railroad Service.
Washington, D. C President Wil
son will go to congress for special leg
islation to bring about unification of
the railroads during the war.
The fact that the President has de
cided definitely on such a move be
came known Tuesday night after he
had gone over the whole transporta
tion system with Senator Newlands,
chairman of the senate interstate com
merce committee.
He probably will ask for the legisla
tion in an address to be delivered be
fore the Christmas holidays.
Indications are that the President
had confided to none of his associates
his full intention, and officials were
doubtful as to just what he may ask.
Some were of the opinion that he
might request action in line with the
suggestion of the Interstate commerce
commission that anti-trust laws might
be suspended during the war. Others
pointed out that the Interstate com
merce commission's report also carried
the suggestion that additional legisla
tion might be needed, were the gov
ernment to decide to take over opera
tion of the roads.
The President's advisers are divided
in their views as to what is necessary
to be done. Most of them, however,
have come out for government opera
tion, and some of the strongest sup
porters of this proposal declare that
the executive under the army appro
priation act has power to take over
the roads for operation under an ad
ministrator. Pacifists Sent to Jail.
Los Angeles, Cal. Three so-called
"pacifists" convicted on three charges
of disorderly conduct, were each sen
tenced Tuesday in the police court to
serve six months in jail and fined
$1200 each.
The men sentenced were the Rev.
Floyd Hardin, of Atwater, Cal.; the
Rev. Robert Whittaker, of Los Gatos,
Cal, and Harold H. Story, of Whit
tier, Cal., all leaders at a series of
meetings held here recently in subur
ban homes after the police prevented
open meetings in halls.
Ten Women Are Carriers.
New York Ten women letter car
ries were Monday added to the list of
women who entered various lines of

periment proves a success Washington
authorities will authorize the regular

Troopers Pay Penalty at Fort
Sam Houston, Texas.
AFFAIR KEPT SECRET
Sixty-Three Men Tried by Court mar
tial, 41 of Whom Are Sentenced
for Life -Others Get Less.
San Antonio, Tex. Thirteen ne
groes were hanged' at Fort Sam Hous
ton at 7:17 a. m. Tuesday for com
plicity in the riot at Houston August
23. The announcement of action on
the court martial's verdict was made
at Southern department headquarters
at 9 o'clock by the chief of stalF, who
also gave out a formal statement in
which the names of the men sentenced
to death were given.
Only army officers and Sheriff John
Tobin, of Baxter county, were present
when the sentence was carried out by
soldiers from the post. No newspaper
men or civilian spectators were al
lowed, the time and place of execution
having been kept a secret.
Of the 63 men tried, by the same
courtmartial, 41 were sentenced to
dishonorable discharge from the army,
forfeiture of all pay and allowances
and to be confined at hard labor for 2
years. Three were sentenced to be
dishonorably discharged' from the
army, forfeit all pay and allowances
and be confined at hard labor for two
years. Five were acquitted.
Following the hanging of the 13 men
the chief of staff of the Southern de
partment gave out a written state
ment, at the same time refusing to
answer any question.
The rioting in Houston occurred
while the third battalion of the 24th
infantry was guarding new buildings
being erected at Camp Logan. Dur
ing the afternoon of August 23 a re
port was circulated in the negro camp
that Corporal Baltimore, "of the bat
talion, had been shot and killed by a
Houston police officer. This was said
to have been directly responsible for
the trouble.
According to the testimony pf one of
the participants the negroes obtained
their rifles and a quantity 'of ammuni
tion nftpr rptrpRt the same evening.
and after dark started toward Hous
ton. There were about 125 of these
negroes, according to the statement,
and they opened fire on an automobile
in which an American was riding. He
was said to have been the first one
killed.
'OPEN SHOP" IS HELD LEGAL
United States Supreme Court Issues
Important Labor Ruling.
Washington, D. C Decisions defin
ing in general terms the rights of
both organized labor and the employer
were rendered Tuesday by the bu
preme court. While the right of work
men to organize for lawful purposes
was re-affirmed, the court held that
employers legally may operate their
plants as "open shops" and prevent
conspiracies to bring their non-union
employes into labor organizations.
The opinions were rendered in the
cases of the Hitchman Coal & Coke
company and the Eagle Glass Manufac
turing company of West Virginia, the
court deciding that both were entitled
to operate their plants as "open
shops" and upholdng injunctions issued
by Judge A. G. Dayton, restraining
union officials from attempting to or
ganize their employes. Lower court
decrees holding that the United Mine
Workers of America, and the Ameri
can Flint Glass Workers' Union, were
illegal organizations and that under
the Sherman law they were secret con
spiracies in restraint of trade were ig
nored by the Supreme court opinion.
In the Hitchman case the majority
of the court held that the officails of
the miners' union "deliberately and
advisedly selected that method of en
larging the union membership, which
would inflflict injury" upon the com
pany and its loyal employes, and de
clared that the "conduct in so doing
was unlawful and malicious."
Lakeside Inn is Raided.
Tacoma, WTash. Swooping down on
the Lakeside Inn, a resort on the moun
tain road famous for its chicken dinners
and open "all night" policy, police cap
tains Falconer and Strickland, Deputy
Sheriff Sears and Lieutenant Folston,
of the military police, early Monday
morning broke in upon a mixed crowd
of some 150 civilian men, women, army
officers and soldiers in the main dining
room, while upstairs, stretched out on
a bed they found Florence Webb, a do
mestic, half unconscious from drugged
liquor and in a delirium.
Phone Workers Get Lift.
New York General salary increases
to meet the increased cost of living
will be granted to its employes by the
New York Telephone company, instead
of the yearly bonus which the company
has heretofore given, it was announced
Tuesday. The increase in the aggre
gate will amount virtually to double
the bonus granted last year, it was
stated, and will in no way affect ad
vances awarded. "from tmeio liSm -in-J

HANGED
RIOT
ITALIANS GET HELP
Allies Arrlre .t I'ront With Men and
Munition in Time to Se Any
Further Invasion by Teutons.
ifi;un Hoadmiartera in Northern
Italy-The battle of Aaiago has been
!n,.n misnended. with the enemy
checked, if not defeated, in his main
design of breaking thrown to in.
Brenta valley and the plain a hw
Jmlnw. althouuliho succeeded in
advancing his lines ' a short distance
when the Italians fell back to new po
sitions, guarding the Frenia and Ga
dena passes, have successfully resisted
all enemy effort. 'J the Italians on
thfi BtPCD heiirhts on each bkIo oi me
passes rain down artillery and rn
fira and release huge boulders eory
time the enemy forces try to Kt
through. t '
Ti,:a h.. i.nntmucd until the Italians
seem reasonably assured of holding
the passes and compelling mo ciiunij
to look for another line of approach.
It will be cheering news to the allied
world that allied reinforcements have
taken their place on the Italian front
and are now occupying trenches in the
battered positions held by tho Italian
troops, now relieved for aj needed
respite.
The British position is around the
heights of Montello, on the Upper
Piave, where the batteries on the
heights are all ready in action, and
rifle fire answers the steady sniping
from across tho river. The French
position cannot as yet be indicated,
but it is in an equally important
sector.
The formalities of transfer have
been in progress for the past week,
and now are definitely accomplished,
when the Italians saluted the British
flag and the Tommies cheered tho men
in gray as they went for their well
earned rest.
This transfer is significant First,
it is visible evidence of alllied unity,
not alone in conferences, but on the
fighting lines. Second, it is the in
fusion of new blood, new life, new
spirit at a timely moment.
The Italians have done wonders in
resistance in the' last month, but
there is a limit to human endurance,
and the arrival of new men, materials,
suppiles and guns brings reassurance,
as well as needed relief.
REBEL AGAINST BOLSHEVIKI
Kaledines and Korniloff Revolt Gains
Power in Russia.
London A proclamation to the Rus
sian nation has been issued by the Rus
sian government announcing that Kal
edines and Korniloff, assisted by the
Imperialists and constitutional demo
crats, have raised a revolt and de
clared war in the Don region against
the people and the revolution.
The proclamation adds that "the
constitutional democrats and bour
geoise are supplying the revolting
generals with Bcores of millions.
"The workmen's and soldiers' dele
gates have ordered the necessary
movements of troops against the coun
ter-revolution and issued decrees au
thorizing the local revolutionary garri
sons to attack the enemies of the peo
ple without awaiting orders from the
supreme authorities, and forbidding
any attempts at mediation.
General Kaledines, the Cossack
leader, is at Novo Tcherkask, where,
apparently, he is awaiting events, ac
cording to dispatches published by the
Petrograd newspapers Denuj, says a
semi-official Russian news agency dis
patch from Petrograd, dated Saturday,
In all the other Don districts, accord
ing to this information, the power is
in the hands of the soldiers and work
men and the Ukranian authorities.
"In soldiers' and workmen's cir
cles," continues the dispatch, "the
opinion is held that General Kaledines
has prepared for an armed demonstra
tion. The government is taking the
most vigorous measures to repel him.'
150 Planes Bomb Huns.
Rome An exceptionally large air
raid was craried out Sunday with a
fleet of 150 Biplanes, including Italian
light and heavy squadrons. The huge
fleet new low, scattering more than
2000 bombs, which caused extensive
damage in the northern sector, where
the enemy is assembling forces and
supplies.
Troop trains were scattered, railway
depots destroyed and munition suplies
blown up. Large fires marked the
route of the raiders, indicating the ex
tent of the destruction.
Reforms Are Demanded.
Amsterdam In a debate on the
franchise last Thursday in the Prus
sian lower house, Herr Lohmann, na
tional liberal, acknowledged the neces
sity of a reform, especially in the na
ture of a direct, secret franchise.
Herr Stroebel, independent Socialist,
demanded an equal franchise for wo
men, Vice President Friedburgh said:
"It is a question of the King's
pledge which must be redeemed and
not trifled with."

act forbids not only trading KXrcpt
under special license with an enemy
or an allv of an enemy, but prohibits
commerce as well with a person con
ducting trade on belialt or for the ben-
oflt of an enemy.
Any license issued for trading with
firms named In tho list will be apart
from tho regular f H'ort ami Import li
censes which must bo obtained for the
shipment In or out of tho United

Issuance of tho list recalled tho vig
orous protest made by this government
to Great Itritaitl when tins Iirsi uriusn
blacklist, containing the names of
many American firms, first was pub
lished. Tho Hrltlsh reply, however,
was considered In many quarters bre
as establishing the legality of the
action.
It is possible that In many Instances
licenses may be issued, as It may be
found that trading In certain commod
ities with those named In the list will
not work to any advantage for Ger
many or her allies.
To mlnlmlzo Inconvenience to nier

the declaration, the War Hoard will
classify the names of mm enemy firms

In every case the beard will take
pains to assure Itself through consular
officers or other agencies that the

It will not, however, assume responsi

In Issuing the list the board makes
It plain that It cannot be made com
plete and that merchants trading with
enemy firms net named are In no
measure relieved from prohibitions
and penalties contained In tho trailing
with the enemy act.
It Is considered certain that until
all sections of the list have been Is
sued the law of necessity will be en
forced with some degree of laxity.
Most of the firms named in tho lint

others evidently aro ot Enellsh, Span

contains the greatest number of firms,
