REVELATIONS GIVEN
 BY GERARD CAUSE
 MUCH OFFICIAL TALK
Members of Both Branches of the National Legislature Are Appreciative of Good to Come From Such Pub licity

MT. Gerard's revelation have caused a tremendous sensation in official cir cles here Many senators and repre- sentatives who made last-hour efforts to obtain copies of the Sunday Public Ledges discovered that the unprece- dented demand had swamped the news dealers hence the action by Senator Brandagee today.
 Members of both branches of the na- tional legislature are keenly apprecia- tive of the importance of MT. Gerard s disclosure and their direct and signifi- cant bearing on the international sit uation. Those who missed reading the first installment of the ambassadors book will now be able to do SC in the Congressional Record.
 They are especially interested in the opening chapters, as they contained the Kaiser's personal letter of August 10, 1914, to President Wilson, GScu ment which was then withheld from publication by Mr. Wilson in the inter- est of preserving good relations with one of the principal belligerents al most at the beginning of the European conflict.
 Utmost Historic Value.
 It was in this letter, now universally regarded of the utmost historic im' portance, that the German emperor admitted that the invasion of Belgium was a necessity on "strategical grounds"
 T regard the letter of the emperor as highly important in the light that it throws on the incidents at the out break of the war" said Senator Bran. dagee today in discussing the Gerard publication. For the first time the public learns that the emperor justi- fled the violation of Belgium's neu, trality on the. ground of strategy
 Senator Philander C. Knox of Penn sylvania, former Secretary of state. who is a close student of international affairs, said: 'I greatly enjoyed read, ing the Gerard article, and I expect to find Illuminating sidelights in the Ger man situation in subsequent chapters of his remarkable book"

 Hopeless Snarl.
 When plans had apparently reached a hopeless snarl, word came that Thos Van Lear, socialist mayor, was ready to meet with the council members. In threes and fours they clipped from council headquarters in a small hotel to the meeting place. While the con- ference proceeded, incoming delegates at headquarters protested against the ridiculous procrastination' of lead CTS in choosing a convention city be- cause of annoyance of petty civil au- thOrities."
 Refuses to Talk.
 MT Lochner, closely guarded by his several assistants, evaded newspaper men after the conference, merely send ing word that there was nothing to add to his previous statement that the con vention would be held
 Delegates at Sea.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 31-Delegates from the east to the proposed conference of the Peoples Council of America for Democracy and Peace arrived here to- night, still at sea as to the ultimate destination. So far as the eastern del egates were concerned no place of meeting had been determined upon. despite a statement credited to Nor ris Hillquit of New York that the meeting would be held at Milwaukee on Sunday. IL was decided ro remain here until tomorrow, when Secretary Louis F. Lochner would be present and consideration of plans for the fu- ure resumed.
 So far as could be learned by eX- haustive inquiry among members of the eastern party and railroad repre- sentatives there is 10 other organized delegation headed this way. week ago there was talk of a special tIaIh from San Francisco, but apparently such westerners as desired to attend q possible meeting will come as inGi- yiduals on regular trains.
 The contingent from the east arriy- ed tired, and hungry, shortly aftel nightfall. They had not the remotest idea where they would meet. This was followed by a report that they were to go to Fargo, N. D. The Far go rumor was dissipated by another telegram that they were to meet In Milwaukee. At Elkhart, Ind, they learned that Milwaukee was a matter of doubt. In their arrival here a sub stitute committee was approved to communicate with MT. Lochner while other members of the party held an inforal meeting at a hctel near the railroad station. The passenger agents of railroads reaching in every direction from Chicago were on hand. each IF the belief that the convention would go to some point on his particular rail read.

London.-For the first time since the
DAYS of the Crusaders Jerusalem, the
ancient Jewish capital and the shrine
Of the Christian world, is in the hands
of Christian troops. The city surren-
dered to British and entente forces
under General Allenby. The last ad-
vance was made from Bethlehem and
the last stand of the enemy was on
"the road that leads to Jericho"
|. General Allenby began his final at,
tack Saturday. The Turkish forces
held strong positions south and west
of the city. One entente contingent
swept forward and captured the Jeru'
salem-Jericho road and another cap
tured the road from the Holy City to
Shechem. This practically completed
the towns isolation and its surrender
soon after was foregone conclusion
General Allenby then made his Off
cial entry into the city. Commanders
OF the French and Italian missions
and other officials accompanied him
French and British political officers
already have taken up their residence
there to safeguard the sacred places
Apparently rome of these has been
damaged by the enemy.
The British have been careful dur.
ing their entire campaign in the Holy
Land to spare religious structures OF
all kinds, including the Moslem
mosques. Apparently none of the
cities has suffered from an allied bonn
bardment, most Of the fighting having
been in comparatively open country.
For some days the British have been
within cannon shot of Jerusalem, but
have confined their operations to cut
ting off and surrounding the enemy.
British capture Of Jerusalem means
that for the first time in hundreds of
years some Of the places held most
dear to Christian and Jewish hearts
will be accessible to others than Mo-
hammedans. The Turks and their
predecessors in the faith Of Islam had
held many of these shrines as fanes
of their own religion, and in some of
them no Christian foot has entered
for centuries.
Apart from it's connection with the
campaign being waged against Tur-
key by the British in Mesopotamia
the fall of Jerusalem, marks the def
mite collapse of the long protracted
efforts of the Turks to capture the
Suez canal and invade Egypt. AL
most the first move made by Turkey
after her entrance into the war was
a campaign against Egypt across the
great desert of the Sinai peninsula.
