deferred percentage Of the first

no further call, therefore, before

benefits of QUESTIONABLE classifi-
cation and will be drawn only II
they come under class 1.
Crowder announced that very

tiers In City Controller Shoemak-
er's office, there were 1906
registered men last June, and the

BRITISH LABOR LEADER
ENDORSES u. S. WAR Aims

tarism must be universally dis
credited"
Declaring his complete support
of President Wilson's war aims for
America, Henderson said:
THE American people are fight
ing for a league of nations more
than anything else. And yet this
moment has been selected by Sir
Edward Carson to treat that pro-
posal with scorn and contempt"
Labor must demand a clarifi-
cation OF Britain's position, II the
workers are called for further sac
rifices.
This does not mean the white
feather. Labor does not desire
that Germany be admitted to
league of nations while intoxicated
by her military triumphs, but the
allies should make It clear that
the struggle will continue only
for principles and ideals and net
for conquest.

CAPTURE OF JERUSALEM.
Conquest Of Sinai Desert Was Greater
Than Defeat of Turks,

LONDON, Dec 13.-Maj Gen F. B.
Maurice, chief director of military OPP
crations at the British war office, yes
terday in talk with an Associated
Press representative here, outlined the
campaign that resulted in the fall of
Jerusalem to Gen. Allenby s forces.
''Gen. Allenby entered Jerusalem
yesterday, said Gen. Maurice. 1.-The
campaign which led to this has been
carried out mainly by British territori-
al troops, supported by small bodies of
Australian and New Zealand mounted
men and British yeomanry.
In the campaign as a whole the
great accomplishment has been not the
defeat Of the Turks, but the conquest
of the Sinai desert. The troops who
fought at GAIA drank water from
Egypt pumped through an American
pipe line, and were supplied with
broad gauge railroad laid clear across
the $50 miles of the Sinai desert, which
has defeated almost everybody that
tried TO conquer Egypt for centuries.
Every ounce of material for the pipe
line, the railroad and the other works
came either from Great Britain or the
United States
All the time this conquest of the
desert has been going on, the official
communications have been able to say
only nothing to report, and the pub
lie thought we were idle. The fall of
Jerusalem was made possible by indus
try. organization and material help
m the United States

Extremist Forces.

LONDON, Dee. l3.-Reports of fight
ing at Mohilev, Russian general head
quarters, between troops newly arrived
there and the Bolsheviki garrison, were
received in Petrograd Monday. 1t is

Guards, infantry, and armored cars
sent from Petrograd and troops from
Kharkov The Russko Slovo Of Petro-
grad says the fighting lasted all day

very severe and that there were a
great number of casualties

banners upholding the Constituent AS
sembly were carried converged on the
Tauride palace in Petrograd on Tues
day, according to a Reuter- despatch. A
series of extemporaneous meetings was
held outside the palace

Hoover to Ask Food Pledge
Signers of Country to
Keep Within This Limit
MEANS A SAVING
OF FIFTY PER CENT
England Has Cut Her Consumption to
20 Pounds Per Person in Year,
France to Is and Italy to Candy
Prohibition Suggested.

WASHINGTON, Dec l3.-Food Admin
istrator Hoover will issue supplemental
food card within few days to the 10000,
600. food conservation pledge signers
announcing that the food administration s
sugar rationing plan for the United States
month to each person during the coming
year
This yearly ratio of thirty-six pounds
is about one-half the rate Of sugar con
sumption in the country at this time. Be
fore the war the average American con
sumed ninety pounds Of sugar a year. II
the public responds to the new appeal the
use of sugar in the United States will be
cut from 9,3eo0O0,000 pounds to 3,SH, 900,
COO
The great reduction if effected will
place the sugar resources of the country
in much better position to meet the
large loss in beet sugar production now
generally believed to be inevitable and
will also permit America to give relief to
the allies In making the request that
Americans cut their use of sugar to thirty
six pounds a year the food administration
points out IuaL the consumption bl Eng
land has been cut TO twenty-six pounds,
that OF France to thirteen pounds and Of
Italy to nine pounds per annum for each
inhabitant.
In the new card, which supplements
the program placed before American
housewives in August, Administrator
Hoover IN making the request for big
reduction IN sugar consumtiQn says:
The food administration will make
every endeavor to see that the country
is provided with a supply OF household
sugar on a basis Of three pounds of sugar
for each person per month. Do not con.
sumo more
Rumors persist that the part played
by the candy stores Of America in encour-
| aging the consumption OF sugar is receiv'
| ing the serious consideration of the food
administration, which has been urged by
some radicals to issue prohibition
against the candy and confectionery trade
now doing business with but little better
| than an allotment OF one-half OF Their
normal sugar shipments
