 The telegram received by the News from Secretary Daniels follows:
 "The president last night signed an executive order directing that the au- tborized enlisted strength of the navy he increased to 87,000. He was author ized by Congress, in case of emer- gencv. to direct such increase in enlist ment. New ships and ships in reserve are being fully commissioned as rap idly as possible and the need is i'm perative for a large enlistment to man them. There has been net increase of over 6,500 in enlistment since Con- gress recently authorized an increase, but many more are needed, and need cd now.
 Will you not emphasize this need fg giving special prominence Monday on the first page of your paper to the presidents order, and also by making an editorial appeal for new recruits for the navy.
 The navy offers exceptional advan- tages to young men of stuff and ambi- ton to serve in the first line for na- tiOnal defense.

GENERAL ALLENBY ENTERS JE-
RUSALEM TODAY.
British Troops Finally Complete
Movement Delayed by DiSinclfna-
ton tn Innict Damage.

London, Dec. 1o-Andrew Bonar
Law, chancellor of the eXcheQuer, an
nOunced in the house of commons to-
day that Jerusalem, after being sur
rounded on all sides by British troops
had surrendered.
The chancellor said British, French
and Mohammedan representatives
were on the way to Jerusalem to
safeguard the holy places.
General Allcnby reported that on
Saturday he attacked the cnemys po-
stions south and west of Jerusalem,
the chancellor said. Welsh and home
county troops, advancing from the di-
rection Of Bcthlohem, drove back the
enemy and, pass.n2 Jerusalem on the
east, established themselves on tho
Jerusalem Jericho road. At the same
time London infantry and dismounte ted
yeomanry attacked the strong enemy
positions west and northwest Of Jeru-
salem and place themselves astride
the Observation-Disclosures road. The
holy city, being thus isolated. surren-
dered to General Allenby.
The chancellor said General Allenby
expected to enter Jerusalem officially
tomorrow, accompanied by the officers
of the French and British forces, and
the heads Of the French political mis-
sion. British political officials to-
gether with the British governor, were
in the party that had gone ahead on
the safeguarding mission, the chan
cellor stated.
The capture OF Jerusalem had been
delayed to some degree, added the
chancellor. in consequence Of the
great care that had been taken to
avoid damage to the sacred places ir
and around the city.

CAVALRY DIVISION FORMED.
Regular Army Now Has the Largest
Force Of Mounted Men Since Civil
War.

Washington, Dec. 10.-A division
Of regular cavalry, the first the Amer
lean army has had since the days of
the War Between the Sections, is be
said today the step was in prepara-
ton for eventualities abroad, and ha |
no significance so far as the Mexican
border patrol was concerned. The
division is to be organized under the
old army plan with about IL 900 men.
The project is part of the regular
plan of the department, it is under
stood, for the tactical organization of
the expanded regular army. The
Third Infantry Division has already
been formed and modified at Char
lotte, n. c., and additional infantry
divisions are in process of organiza-
ton. There is no present intention
or employing mounted troops with
General Pershing's forces, although
the general officer is reported TO have
recommended the creation OF from
three to five cavalry divisions. En-.
ployment of General Byng leader of
the recent British surprise attack, OF
mounted troops, points the way to the
conclusion that il may be advisable
later when the transportation situa-
ton is easier to send over cavalry -
such numbers as the American staff
may think wise. 1t was emphasized
that formation of the cavalry divis-
ion at FL Paso reflected no uneasinesS
as TO the border situation. Winter
has REQUIRED the withdrawal of the
mounted troops from the Northerh

Washington, Dec. 1l.-Onc single

Admiral David w. Taylor, chief of the
bureau of construction and repair, al
though that officer is carrying ont the
largest naval building program ever
entered upon by any nation.
More than 500 vessels are under
construction from dreadnaughts and

In some cases year has been saw
Ell in the construction Of destroyers
Vessels not expected for delivery until
late i'm 1918 are today in actual SER
vice in European waters.
Billions of dollars are involved in
the contracts, yet the report says only
that all building facilities are being
used and exceptional measures to ac-
celerate construction OF certain types
have been taken.
These measures are producing re-
suits" Admiral Taylor concludes,
summarizing his gigantic task in what
is probably the briefest report ever

Washington. Dec. 1O.-Rome dis
patches today confirming earlier re-
ports of lull after the fierce fight
ing in which the Teutons failed to
break through Italian lines, say the
Austro-German commander sacrificed
hundreds of thousands of his best men
without improving his position.
This description of the situation is
given:
THE fierce fighting Of the last few
days has subsided into a period of
comparative calm. The super human
resistance Of the Italian soldiers pre-
vented the Austro- G ermans from at.
tanning the strategical advantages of
their objective although they sue
ceeded in obtaining grounds of purely
tactical character. The failure of the
enemy attacks is indicaed by the in
activity on the entire front for three
consecutive days. The invaders have
desisted from attacking the positions
in the direction of the Brenta canal
on account Of the complete exhaustion
OF the forces engaged.
Gen. Conrad has sacrificed hun
dieds Of thousands Of his best soldiers
In successive assaults. preceded by un-
precedented artillery preparation, and
today the position of the Austro- Ger
mans, while not improved by the pro-
gress made. is, in fact, more unfavor-
able to them than at the beginning of
the offensive because Of the Difficult
ties OF revictualing the troops it be-
ing necessary for the invaders to
transport all the water to their po-
sitions.
The heavy snowfalls of the sea-
son will also aggravate the hardship
Of the enemy and threaten the lines
Of communication
1T may be stated therefore that
the Central Powers have failed to OBJ.
tain their concrete general objective
namely, to break through our lines
and lead the victorious armies into
the plains of Italy where they expect
ed to find comfortable shelter dur.
ing the winter months. Such failure
is due to staggering losses, which
our soldiers were able to inflict upor
the invaders.
