"One day my wife told lie what
she had read in the papers, and
what the neighbors were saying

it. She had read about a man who

of medicines, so | didn't have much
hope of it doing me much good,

London, Dec. 1.-THE surrender
OF Jerusalem came as a complete
surprise to the British public. A week
or ten days ago II was repeatedly
reported that the city had been
taken but these rumors were set at
rest by an authoritative statement
that another battle would be neces-
sary before the British could hope to
enter Jerusalem. In fact the public
had almost given up its much
cherished hope that the task General
AIienby had set his troops would be
accomplished by Christmas day.
The British general however
proved himself a super master OF
strategy and while the Turks and
their German officers were expecting

CONGRESS BEGINS

Inquiry Into Ordnance At
fairs First on the List
of Those Examined

(By Associated Press.l )

Washington, Dec. 12.-Inquiry by
congress into the general conduct OF
the war was begun. today with in
vestigation by the senate military
committee of the war departments
work in arming and equipping the
American forces.
Major General Croziers chief of the
ordnance. said an obstacle in the
early work was that the military poll
act OF 1915 contemplated q force OF
1,0O0,O00 men to be raised in i've
years.
@It is apparent." |" ho-said. that the
original program Tor one million men
did not contemplate our participation
IN the war. We compressed the fve

we did everything we could" he
continued, "to get the manufacturing
estab blishments OF the country going
on orders in anticipation Of appro-
priations. One obstacls was that
many manufacturers did not care to
spend money or could not secure
loans In advance Of actual appropria-
tions. That caused very consider
able delay. There also were delays
under the abnormal purchasing sys-
tenn necessary. without time for COM
petitive bidding, in many cases."
Referring to the cost plus ten per
cent contracts. General Crozier said
the system had worked out fairly
weIl.'
''But it is not as good as when
prices are definitely fxed," he said,
1T is better to use that only in case
of emergency"
"Some manufacturers would not
take fixed price contracts at all"
General Crozier said. They would
not take the risk except with profit
on a percentage basis. They had
had their fingers burned. No orders
for rifles were made at q fixed price;
manufacturers wouldn't take the or
ders."
Upon inquiry by Senator Wads-
worth, General Crozier said that
early in the war the President had
allotted $S5.000,000 OF his 500, ,00O, 900
emergency fund to the war depart
ment and that emergency orders for
material had been given.
