HEAVY ASSAULTS ON
BRITISH REPULSED
General Falkenhayn Has Been
Placed In Command TurkO-
German Forces

Washington, Dec. 29.-Four Turkish
army divisions-upwards of 10000 men
reinforced by Austro- German troops
from the Russian and Rumanian fronts
have begun desperate campaign to
retake Jerusalem and drive the British
from the holy land, according to Off
cial reports reaching Washington to-
day.
Heavy fighting is in progress over a
line extending from Jaffa through Jeru-
salem and along the Jericho road almost
ito the River Jordan. The Turks vainly
attempted to break the British grip on
the Jaffa-J erusalem railroad. Abortive
efforts to turn the British flank in the
neighborhood of Bethany, northeast of
Jerusalem failed.
At some points along the line General
Allenby's expeditionary force is out
numbered two to one. According to of
ficial reports, he is making a deter
mined stand against General Falken-
hayn's combined Turko- -Austro-G German
divisions.
''On December 26, 27 and 2s, the
official report read, "the enemy de-
livered a number of determined attacks
with four full divisions in the neigh
borhood of Bir Ne Bala. Entente mili-
tary experts here estimate Turkish
division as $4,000 men, making Falken-
hayn's forces in Palestine upwards of
10000 troops.)
"They were repulsed with heavy los
ses. Subsequently we launched deter
mined counter attack against the enemy
right flank with two divisions. Our
troops won a brilliant victory, advanc-
ing a distance of two and one-half miles
over a nine mile front along the Bella
Kafr Nomah line. The Turkish losses
were exceptionally sanguinary."

Freight Congestion Problem
Made Worse by Fierce
Eastern Blizzard
EQUIPMENT TO BE
POOLED BY RAILROADS
Employees Of All Lines Pledge
Hearty Support to Govern
ment Plan
By Robert j. Bender

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Dec. 29.-In the face of
a blizzard which swept the eastern
states, Director General McAdoo, thru
his operating board of railroad ex-
cutives, moved quickly today in the
effort to relieve freight congestion.
More locomotives were ordered from
Western lines to pull the eastern points
out of their jam. Eighty engines already
have been transferred into congested
districts and the board is expediting
movement of twenty two more.
Meantime, McAdoo conferred his at
tention ON the great need of the nation
for prompt transportation of supplies.
The board expects him to recommend
Immediately strict curtaiIment Of pas
senger traffic and movement Of nom
war products to give the right Of way
to coal and other supplies. McAdoo ex-
poets the public to accept these changes
as war measures.
In the belief that action is the first
necessity, McAdoo is letting other prob
lens rest until the congestion begins to
dissolve.
The war board Of executives met
throughout the day, discussing plans
for pooling equipment with the end in
view of relieving communities suffer
ing from lack of coal, congestion at
terminals and other difficulties.
1t was explained that this board, ac-
ting under control of McAdoo, could take
steps absolutely impossible under the
old regime where private interests nat
urally injected themselves despite the
patriotism Of the roads. In this power
the effect economies and revolutionary
changes, impossible or illegal under pri-
vate management, officials today saw
the greatest promise of McAdoo's sue
ce9s.

NATURAuzED GERMAN

Alleged to Have Tarnpered
With Delicate Machinery

gyroscopic machinery of torpedoes for
American ships, Paul Hennig, natur-
allied German, and an employe Of the
Piss Torpedo Works, was arrested to-
day and arraigned on a charge of trea-
son.
If convicted the law may sentence
him to DEATH
Lieutenant Francis d. Shea, U. S. N,
torpedo inspector for the plant, dis
covered that many exceedingly delicate
bearings and parts for horoscopes on
which the torpedoes' effectiveness de-
pends, had been deliberately tampered
with, filled with emery dust, or jam
med. He traced the parts to Hennig, it
was asserted.
Hennig declared he was innocent. He
will be examined Wednesday. One of
his sons in interned on Ellis Island.
Officials stated that certain of the
defective parts which it seemed Hennig
deliberately damaged, might have caus-
ed torpedo discharged from an Am
erican ship to circle back and explode
against that ships side, instead Of the
target at which it was aimed.
Statement Issued.
Following the arraignment of Hennig
and his plea of not guilty, the district
attorneys office issued a formal state

Following an appearance Of consider
able strength with the entire list gem

days two hour session, a healthy but
narrow reaction in stocks which have

tone was good and the market had q
dull tendency whenever prices began
to decline.
The railroads, which are in new
ground in response to investment buy
ing following the presidents railroad

action. While steel and coppoc stocks
were generally steady, early firmness
was shown by equipment and motor
stocks. News Of consequence to the

J -Four officers and 35 members of
