Seaport of Jerusalem Falls
to Mounted Troops With
Slight Resistance
Allenby in Control
OF Most of Railway
Occupation Will Delay
Enemy Attempt to
Retake Bagdad

LONDON. Nov. 1s.-Jaffa, the seaport
q, Jerusalem, has fallen into the hands
- The British. The Turks are continu-
;ne 20 retreat northward, General Al
Ienby reports. Apparently they are no
lopVer capable Of effective action
against the victorious British.
Jerusalem is now almost isolated.
Military observers here believe the
British advance on II will be rapid and
hat it will fall an easy prey to AL
lsnby's men.
Hold Most Of Railroad
The British now hold most Of the
camille railroad connecting Jerusalem
and Jafa, including the junction with
The north and south line connecting
Damascus and Beerscheba. Their posi-
lions lie from northeast 20 southwest
Y Is thought here the actual siege Of
Jerusalem is about TO begin, but the
failure Of the Turks TO defend Jsfa
suggests they will give up the capital
without much Of struggle.
The Official report yesterday declared
the Turks seemed TO be preparing de-
f.nsive position along a brook about
four miles north Of Jaffa. General Al
l.nbv's telegram of to-day is inter
nreted 70 mean, however, that Djemal
pscba and his Austro-German advisers
have decided 70 give up this line and re-
tire further north.
The continuous withdrawal Of the
beaten Turks in Palestine is bound to
affect favorably the British operations
further east in Mesopotamia, It Is
thought here. It has been understood
for q long time that the German gen
.ral and former chief OF the General
staff. Falkenhayn, is preparing Turk
ish army for an attempt TO retake Bag
dad.
The loss Of q great section Of Pales-
tine will probably force him to detach
considerable Of his forces for the relief
q. the hard pressed Turks northwest OF
Jerusalem. He may be so weakened
TIA: he will have TO leave the British
in undisturbed possession Of Mesopo-
tamia.

TOXIC POLICY
IN RUSSIA TO
BEHANDSOFF
That Interpretation Placed
on Emperor's S Speech by
Washington Officials. :

japan viii observe the same hands
|pff policy toward Russia as the United
States and the other allies observe.
This was officially stated, here yes
terday in interpreting the speech from
the throne Of the japanese Emperor
HIS appeal for additions to the gov
ernment funds for defense are not to
be construed, 1T was stated, as indi-
eating an immediate intention on the
part Of Japan to intervene in Russia.
Japan, It was declared. recognizes
even more readily than do the other
nations allied against Germany that
any display Of force by the allies in
Russia would react strongly against
their interests and the best interests
of Russia herself.
1t Is admitted in japanese circles
that the time may ultimately come
when the Empire will be forced to
defend her own interests against Ger
man aggression through Russia and
Siberia 1t Is believed that 1t is for
this contingency that the Emperor
aimed to provide in his speech to the
Diet.
This attitude is interpreted as as
surfing that japan will take no active
steps in Russia or Siberia. except
to protect her property through the
use Of marines, unless Russia should
be pacified, organized and aligned on
the side of the central powers.

gressive sea campaign, in which all
the air and sea forces will be used
to the fullest extent. This school has
many followers in this country.
In the British navy the senior as
well as the Junior Officers are keen
for action, but the older men have
cautioned against any policy where
the odds are heavily against success.
This b due to the fact that anything
short of a naval victory would mean
the downfall of the allied cause, while
Germany could lose her fleet and still
be very much in the war.
However. this argument has lost
much of its forceNsince America enter
ed the war. Now the allies have a
naval reserve infinitely greater than
at any time in the war. and Wemyss
has the opportunity Of trying out an
offensive campaign.
So long as the German submarines
maintain their present rate OF sink
ings, the allied shipping situation will
remain grave. Jellicoe has strength
ened the blockade and held command
of the sea, but the very fact that
he Is now deposed shows that the
British government considers some
thing more necessary. That something
is to reduce the U-boat menace.
1t is the greatest factor of the war
today.

Rail Executives Await
u. S. Unifcahon Orders

Chicago, Dec. 2S.-Railroad ex-
ecutives here today awaited definite
word from Director of Railroads
McAdoo concerning unification of
the systems and they declared they
could take no step until ordered by
the government.
According to W. B. Storey, vice
president of the Santa Fe. one of
the Arst acts executed is the cut
ting on of passenger trains to the
West and the abolition of parlor
and observation cars. This, he said,
would be welcomed by the rail-
roads, as they do not own these cars
and they represent an expense to
the roads.
Mr.. Storey said there are three
big problems that the government
must face in its control of the
lines. No step of real value can be
made, he said. until action is taken
on these questions. He also reveal
ed that the roads had decided to
submit recent demands of the rail-
road employees to arbitration had
not the government intervened.

And wished l were grown up, to be just

So hard did / labor. I scarcely could stay
TIL my days work was done; l wished

to gray
My races about run; I've wished life

TURN HAIR WITH
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur II
Darkens SO Naturally
Nobody Can Tell.

The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using 1t to keep their hair good,
even color, which is quite sensible, as
we are living in an age when youth
full appearance is Of the greatest ad-
vantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's s
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about so cents bottle. It is very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at q time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, 1t also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which Is SO attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation Is a de-
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire more youthful appearance. 1t
Is not intended for the cure, mitigation
or prevention of disease.

ing this look like huge strawberry

dipped in, beet Juice, may be cured by
a simple operation. Sir William Mil
llgan of the Royal infrmary, Manches-
ter, describes this In the London
Lancet.
The operation consists in cutting
off all the hypertrophled tissue, while
the nasal passages are kept extended
with absorbent wool In order to pre-
serve their contour. The raw surface
Is covered with two thin CRAFTS Of
skin cut from the patients thigh, over
which a sheet of gold leaf Is placed
and dry dressing fastened with ad-
heslve plaster. 1t should be possible
to remove the dressing in five days.

This Is the way to build 1t:
Make screened case 3h feet high

place the water pan on this. Other
wise fit the pan closely into the open
ing Of the top frame and support 1t
by one-inch cleats fastened to the In
side of the frame. Place two nova
BILE shelves In the frame, 12' to 15
inches apart. Use biscuit pan II by
IA inches on the top to hold the wa
ter, apd where the refrigerator is to
be used indoors have the whole thing
standing in large pan to catch any
drip. The pans and case may be
painted white, allowed to dry, and
then enameled. A covering of white
canton flannel should be made to fit
the frame. Have the smooth side out
and button the covering on the frame
with buggy or automobile curtain
hooks and eyes, arranged so that the
door may be opened without unfasten-
ing these hooks. This can easily be
done by putting one row of hooks on
the edge of the door near the latch
and the other just opposite the open
ing, with the hem on each side ex-
tended far enough to cover the crack
at the edge of the door, so as to keep
out the warm, outside air and retain
the cooled air. This dress or cover
ing will have to be hooked around the
top edge also. Two double strips one
half the width Of each side should be
sewed on the top of each side cover
ing, and allowed to extend over about
2h or 8 inches In the pan of water.
The bottom Of the covering should ex-
tend into the lower pan.
Pluce the refrigerator In a shady
place, where air will circulate around
1t freely. If buttons and buttonholes
are used on the canton flannel instead
of buggy hooks, the cost will be re-
duced.
