.S5,O5O,OO0 BUDGET
 FOR WAR RELIEF
Rockefeller Foundation Able to Use Big Sum This
 Year in Work

New York, December 10.-The Rocke- feller foundation budget for war relief expenditures in 1918 will reach $5,050, 900, with a possible addition of s5,O00.000 which can be appropriated from the principal fund of the foundation. The budget was approved by the trustees at their month- ly meeting today.
 The estimated Income for 1918 is $10,745,- 36o. oEs V lhich s4,2ss,36o is a balance from 1917, consisting largely of moneys already appropriated for Red Cross Y. M. c. A. and other camp activities. and to be paid in 1918.
 The proposed expenditures include s3- 345000 for the work of the international health board. Of this amount s424,Oo0 is for the tuberculosis commission in France
 In announcing the budget. the founda- tion officials said that in view of the ex- pected calls for war work during the coming year is seemed likely the total of 900 recently voted as available from the principal fund would have to be called upon. The question of additional appropriations will be considered by the trustees from time to time.

CAVALRY DIVISION FOR SERVICE ABROAD
 BEING ORGANIZED.
Pershing to Need Mounted Men When Open Fight ing Once More
 Develops

Washington, December 10-A division can army has had since Civil war days, is being formed at Fl Paso. Officials said today the step was in preparation for eventualities abroad, and had no sig nificance so far as the Mexican border patrol was concerned.
 The division is to be organized un- der the old army plan. with about 11,Ooo men.
 The project is part of the regular plan of the department, it Is understood, for the tactical organization of the expanded regular army. The Third infantry di- vision has already been formed and mob- ilized at Charlotte, N. C.. and addi- tional infantry divisions are in process of organization.
 There is no present intention of em- ploying 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. Employment of General Byng, leader of the recent great British sur- prise attack, of mounted troops points the way to the conclusion that it may be advisable later, when the transporta- tion situation is easier to send over cavalry in such numbers as the American staff may think wise Should the Ger man line be broken by drive in which American troops participated, it is not to be doubted that General Pershing would need mounted forces to drive home his attack in the open country beyond.
 It is argued that it would be inadvisa- ble to send cavalrymen until there is prospect for need for them, which hard ly will be this win ter. Besides the trans- portation problem furnished by the horses another would have to be met to keep them supplied with feed.
 It wass emphasized that formation of the cavalry division at Fl Paso reflect ed no uneasiness as to the border situa- tion. Winter has required the withdraw al of the mounted troops from the north ern expansion camps.

"It may be stated, therefore. that the central powers have failed to obtain their concrete general ob- jeetive. namely to break through our lines and lead the victorious armies into the plains of Italy where they expected to find com fortable shelter during the win ter months. such failure is due to staggering losses which our sol diers were able to infiict upon the invaders.''

i, New York, December 10.-The Associ- ated Press summarizes notable day in the great war as follows:
 Jerusalem is In the hands of the Brit fish after having been for virtually l2O0 years in the control of the Moslems.
 The holy city of the Christian religion capitulated to General Allenby's forces, consisting of British. French and ltal- ian troops after it had been entirely surrounded and with it's fall seemed swept away the dream of the Germans and the Turks of driving southwar0 through Palestine. capturing the Suez canal and invading Egypt.
 < Since the recent taking of the town of Jana on the Mediterranean sea and the gradual closing in on Jerusalem by the allied forces the fall of the ancient city daily had been anticipated. It was not the lack of strength that preventHi its capture, but rather the desire of G srai Allenby to carry out his plan ok sn- |veloping the city and forcing its capitula- 'tien. as frontal attack would have en-

 tive. although they succeeded in obtaining gains of purely tactical character. The failure of the enemy attacks is indicated by the inac- tivity on the entire front for three consecutive days. The invaders have desisted from attacking the positions in direction of the Brenta canal on account of the complete exhaustion of the forces engaged.
 General Conrad has sacrificed hundreds of thousands of his best soldiers in successive assaults preceded by unprecedented artil- lery preparation. and today the position of the Austro- Germans. while not improved by the prog ress made. is in fact more unfa- vorable to them than at the be- ginning of the offensive because

In order that gigantic plans might not be checkmated, the government is preparing immediately to take pos- session of 3200 acres of land east of Sheffield.
 When property owners west of Shelf field and owners of property to be overflowed by the construction of the dam across the shoals patriotically turned over their holdings to the gov ernment, the war department dis counted the probability of profiteering on the part of landowners east of Sheffield It is now the information of the department that owners of this necessary property are attempt ing to get. rich quickly at the ex- pense of the government.
 NO LAND SPECULATION
 On the highest authority it may be stated that while the government is willing to pay actual value of prop erty, it will not countenance land gambling and town lot speculation. If within the next few days satisfactory adjustment be not had the govern iHeHt, uetefiHiieu lo dNoiu uSidS iH- cident to condemnation processes, will ask for legislation giving it immedi- ate possession Such legislations if asked for, will be obtained within four days and thereafter busted owners with complaint will have recourse only to the court of claims.
 Such methods were recently with sue cess resorted to when property owners attempted profiteering at the cost of the government when plans for a shipyard at Norfolk were given publication.
 Save that options on lands to be over flowed are being sought by the govern ment, nothing definite is announced re- garding the construction of the sl2,000, GOO dam across Muscle Shoals. In view of fine progress made in the installa-
