In the push for Jerusalem, General
Allenby's grGndiose plan hinged main

Well, the Turks gdt wind of Gen

across into reserve at Beersheba. The
move about balanced the opposing

the Turkish fire was becoming more

CANADIAN MONOPOLY.

WASHINGTON, D.

Victor F. Lawson, who also appeared before the com mittee, declared that he is com pelled to accept the Canadian com panies' terms. ..
 Chairman Reed, of the committee, pointed out that a solution of the problem would be possible through curtailment of consumption, or an excise tax. The committeeman, he said, preferred to have the great papers of the country solve the problem themselves.

FAvORS SUSPENSION ACT
 F0R YEAR 1920

The sentiment of the Fairbanks District, as expressed at largely attended meeting of the Panama val ley chapter of the American Mining congress in Fairbanks last night, strongly favors the further suspen- sion of annual labor requirements on mining claims in Alaska
 There were only 30 members of the chapter on hand when the meet ing began, but the hall was filled with interested spectators, and when the vote was taken on the question, p of the members voted for suspen- sion, while eight opposed the pro- posed relief, which is now pending in Congress in the form of a reso- lution providing for the suspension of assessment work for the year 1920.
 The matter was taken up by the chapter at the request of Delegate Grigsby, who is trying to ascertain the sentiment of Alaskans in order that he may support the measure or oppose it, as may be the desire of his constituents.
 Mining men and business men of the Fairbanks district are said to favor the further suspension of the annual labor requirement. They ar que that the cost of operating al present is much greater than when the law was first suspended by Con gress, and they believe claim owners should have all the relief Congress can give them until such time as mining conditions are again normal.

CARS TO MOVE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.- In response to the appeal of the railroads for authority to expedite freight shipments, the interstate commerce commission has ordered the forwarding of traffic without reference to previous routing. The order abrogates all rules governing car service and directs the transfer of 32,000 coal cars from the West to the East, and 10000 boxcars from the East to the grain fields of the West. The congestion, it is believed, will be greatly relieved within ten days in consequence of action taken by the commission.

Senator McCumber, whose opposi- tion was largely responsible for kill ing the proposal, objected on the ground that such regulation would greatly inconvenience American trav- Ielers.
 Senator Jones, of Washington, who supported the measure, explain led that it had been designed for the purpose of building up a mer- chant marine to Alaska waters. The purpose of the provision, ad- vocated by Governor Riggs and the
 members of his shipping board, was
 to limit the operations of Canadian
 vessels, which now handle large
 part of Alaska shipping.

COMMISSION HAS LEFT FOR NORTH
 10 START MINES

SEATTLE, May 21.-Fully equip ped and organized for mining pur- poses, the naval coal commission sailed for Alaska on the steamship Alameda late yesterday afternoon, to begin the first actual attempt to mine coal in Alaska for the navy.
 In a statement made for publica- ton shortly before sailing, Com mander Doling informed repre- sentative of The Associated Press that there is every assurance that the million-dollar appropriation for coal development will be available by the first of July, and that the amount will be sufficient to meet the requirements of the commission.
 Strategically, he said, the naval situation has shifted from the Allan tic to the Pacific. Coal must be secured on the Pacific coast now, and Alaska is the only source of supply.
 All the members of the commis- sion are volunteers, and it is said that they have their hearts in the work before them. ~-: .-..

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 21.-- The price reduction wave in wearing apparel is due very largely to the public withdrawal from the market, in the opinion of Assistant Attorney General Garvin. He also attributes the price decline to investigations started by the department of justice. but says he does not believe the de- partment entitled to too much credit.
 Garvin refuses to endorse the pa- triotic claims of merchants.
