General Allcnby reported that on
Saturday he (attacked the enemy's po

the chancellor said. Welsh and Home

enemy and, passing Jerusalem on the
east, established themselves dn the Je

the Jerusalem-Shechem road. The
Holy City, being thus isolated, sur
rendered to General- Allenby.
Official Entrance Tomorrow.
;The chancellor said General Allenby
expected to enter Jer-ffsalem officially

manders of .the French and Italian
contingents and' the heads of the
Fjrench political missions British po
litical officers,' together wih the Brit
ish governor,: were in the party that
had gone ahead on the safeguarding
mission, the chancellor, stated.
"The capture' of Jerusalem had been
delayed to "some - degree, added , the
chancellor, in" consequence of the
great-J 'rare . that had been' taken to
avoid damage to thetacred places in
and around the city.. , '
.Apart from its connection with the
campaign being waged against Tur
key by the British in Mesopotamia,
the fall of Jerusalem was the definite
collapse of the long-protracted efforts

In December. 1915, the Turks were
driven back as far as El Arisli, about
85 miles casf of the canal. In; June,
the Turks again advanced -as far as
Katicb,- about. 15 miles east of the
canal. Here they were decisively de

BULLETIN.
Washington, , Dec. , 10. Rome dis
patches today, conforming earlier re
ports of a lull after the fierce fight
ing in which ' the,. Teutons failed to
break through the Italian lines, say
the Austro-German .contmandersac
rificed hundreds of thousands of his
best men without improving his posi
tion. . -;
It may be stated that the central
powers have failed to obtain their
general objective, namely, to break
through the Italians' lines into the
plains of .Italy, where they expected
to find comfortable shelter during the
winter months. ;""'' ;;
- Rome, Dec." ' 10. Observation f
trenches which had been lost by the
Italian's east of Caposile, on the lower
Piave line, have been retaken by the
Italian forces,- - -the war office an
nounced today. '
(By Associated Press.)
In northern Italy the Austro-German
efforts to penetrate the Ital
ian mountain barrier have, been sus-
pended, but apparently the attempt,
to break the Italian dine is beinge-
newed along-the Piave. , Berlin re
ports a success near the mouth of the
river, m which the bridgehead ot
Sile.'at the edge of the inundated dis
trict about eight miles from the Adri
atic and three miles west of the main
river bed, was'captured. ,
Reports-from the Italian front have
jiiininiized the danger ,of any move
ment by the Austro-German invaders
along this section' of the river, and
apparently the Itafian force, at this
point was not an important! one, as
the capture of only 200 prisoners is
claimed by the 6erman staff. ' " '
"Official anouncement is made by
Berlin of the signing of an armistice
with the Russo-Roumanian armies on
the Roumanian front, the agreement
embracing the line from the Dniester
to the mouth of the Danube.
ANOTHER SHIP
CATCHES FIRE IN
HAUFAXHARB0R
Halifax, N. Dec. 10. The deck
cargo of the British steamer Picton,
laden with munitions, caught fire
last night and only the quick and
courageous work of the Halifax
company of riflemen prevented an
other big explosion in the harbor.
The men boarded the ship, threw
the burning cargo overboard and
checked the flames before they
could spread to the holds. The ves
sel' was taken to sea today and
-sunk.
After the Picton had gone to the
bottom, it was officially announced 1
that , there was absolutely no dan
ger now of other explosions in the
harbor.

Farmers9-Co-Operative Union
A mild "rebuke has been adminis

by the federal fodd administration-on
account of the way Jthe union has
sought to deal with the sugar situa

is said, emi loyed an attorney to make
a trip to Washington to use his in
fluence to bring about a' change in the
rules governing the shipping of sugar.
; The rules 6f the food administra
tion had been made with a view to
serving sugar consumers in any given

to avoid useless hauls of the commod

Corporal Leonard . Pracy Seri
ously Burned-in Terrific
Explosion That Rocks
v v Army Post.
Lives and property weto endan
gered yesterday wnen an army
balloon exploded in the huge balloon
shed at Fort Omaha.
The explosion1 occurred at 11
o'clock. Houses were shaken and win
dow' glass broken by the ' terrific de
tonation, which could be heard all
over the north end of the city.
Lives Endangered.
Had the balloon shed . caught 'fire
and the flames spread to the bijj gas
manufacturing plant nearby, all build
ings and the lives of thousands of peo
ple in that part of Omaha would have
been m danger. . '
Corporal Leonard Pracy was tfie
only soldier seriously injured. He was
burned about the face and hands. His
injuries were treated at the post hos
pital. ' .
Lieutenant Colonel Hersey, com
manding officer at the fort, issued, a
statement that the explosion, was
caused by friction creating a spark in
side an old army balloon that was be
in inflated.
, j. here were two explosions, the first
a juinor,one. Immediately following
the iirstlast 4he second explosion
came. ' . t '
All the windows in the big balloon
shed were blown out. "
Two Balloons Escape.
. .Two big army balloons; each fully
inflated with 7,000 cubic feet of gas,
weres alongside the gas bag that blew
up. " .
Neither was damaged, although it
is considered a miracle that they too
did" not explode. '
Both the Omaha city fire depart
ment and the army post tire brigade)
had apparatusat the scene of the ex
plosions a few minutes after they oc
curred. t. .
Owing to the heavy smoke and gas
which followed, the explosion of the
gas bag, .army men were unable to
gain entrance to the balloon house to
The entire north side of OUnaha
was thrown into a furor of excite
ment over the explosion, which, could
be distinctly heard over a radius of
many blocks. -
V The huge balloon house is constantly
guarded. At night great searchlights
play upon the building and not even
a rat could cross the open ground
near the shed without being detected
Immediately adjacent to the bal
loon shed is the large gas plant. Had
the fire extended to the gas plant an
explosion which would have rocked
the north end of Omaha might have
occurred.

heretofore. It could not get the
same terms with the Nebraska sugar
mills it had been getting from the
cane mills of New Orleans, hence the
prfetest and the request to change the
shipping rules.
In a letter to Food Administratar
Wattles of Nebraska the federal food
administration says: "It is to be re
gretted that any organization should
have employed a paid attorne to rep
resent them. "It is also to be regret
ted that any organization has been
selling sugar for less than cost or in
quantities larger that, those permitted
by the regulations of the administra

REAL AMERICAN WOMAN. 0 , '
A woman of medium height, still
young-looking in spite of her graying
hair, she is dressed in black, with a
bit of white at the throat. She might
well stand for the type of "American
motherhood." Only a few hours ago
she had received word that her son,
her only son, had lost his life out on
the bleak waters of the North Sea-
had lost hisjifc in the service of his
country. Only two days ago she had
received a letter from the boy, as
she had received (them nearly every
day, tor the motner an$ son were al
ways comrades. -... . , .
Suddenly the one remaining mem
ber of her family hid been taken
from her.Tt is .the hardest conceivable
blow. But this American mother does
not give way utterly to. grief. Her
eyes are swollen and red, telling of a
night spent m weeping. Her voice
trembles as she talks. But she does
not give way to her sorrow not in
public.
Widow of Soldier. .
Such mothers make America what
it is, ah irresistible intelligent, self
controlling force. Mrs. Kalk is the
daughter, the widow and the mother
of men who spent their, lives in the
Service of their country. Her father

Halifax, N. S., Dec. lO.-Memberj
of the crew of the ' Belgian 'steamer
Imo assert that the French munitions
steamer Mont' Blauc was ' to' blame
for the1-collision which caused the
terrible explosion last Thursday.
! The crew's, version of the tragedy
follows:', .
i The Imo was proceeding down the
harbor toward the. sea when the Mont
Blanc was seen coming toward it,
apparently, tor, tne ucaiora ,iasiu.
The French vessel was on the Dart
mouth side of the narrows. It blew
two blasts of the whistle, indicating
that it was going to starboard. The
Imo replied with two blasts. The
Mont Blanc turned and the crew of
the Imo thought that they could, pass
in safety,, but the distance between
the two vessels was too short and the
Imo rammed the Mont Blade on tho
starboad side. , s
Saw Chemical Flames.
Neither vessel appeared to be se
riously damaged" by the' collision.
After they separated the Mont' Blanc
headed for one of the city piers. The
Imo went on,-the skipper's intention
being, .the crew believe, to get into
shallow water in order to find out ex
actly what damage had been done to
his ship.
The seamen received their first
warning of danger when they saw
chemical , flames leaping from the
decks of the Mont Blanc. Then
came the explosion. The Imo was
caught in the tidal wave and, riding
on its crest, was hurled on the rocky
beach. The sailors declare that no
attempt was made to leave the ship
until it struck and that every man
was in his place. '
Head Blown OfT. , '
The capU.in was standing on the
bridge and his head was blown off.
The wheelsman was at his post and
his body was found in that os tion
when the steamer was examined later.
The body f the pilot, Willia-Ulayes,Lernnin't dissolving the Tctrograd mu-
was found along the shore near the
hulk, and it is thought he was blown
from the deck. Every man above
uec.K was kiiicu.
When the vessel struck the beach
the survivors rushed up from beneath
decks. 'and scrambled ashore. Thirtv-
one men escaped. Naval relief parties
found them wandering about in the
brush. "

escaped from the ship, but three men

) CIVIL WAR BREAKS OUT.
Civil war has broken out In Russia
and the Bolshevik! regime apparently
will be put to the tet. The Petro
grad government has issued a proc
lamation announcing that Generals
Kaledines, Korniloff and Dutoff have
begun a revolt in southeastern Euro
pean Russia. ' '
The Bolsheviki announcement . de
clares that the constitutional demo
crats are assisting the hetman of the
Don Cossacks, and his fellow military;
leaders, who are said to aim at cut-'
ting off food supplies and in seizing
power from the Black Sea to the Ural "
mountains, as well as in the . Cauca
sus. Bolsheviki troops have been or
dered to take the held against the
counter revolutionists.
COLLECTING FORCES.
General Katedinc- is said to: be
collecting his forces and it is inferred
that their objectives' include Moscow.
General Dutoff is leading the revolt
in the . province of Orenburg and 1 is
endeavoring to cut the trans-S'berian
railway at Tcheliabinsk.. , Two: towns .

they protested against their arrest. ',
Returns from the elections in Mos
cow show that five Bolsheviki, four '
constitutional democrats and 'one so-'
cial revolutionist were elected to the
constituent assembly,, Scattering re
turns from the provinces indicate that "
the Bolsheviki will have the largest
vote of any single faction, probably
equaling tha,t of all the others com
bined.. The garrisons were largely for
