irst Time in Seven Centuries Christian Flag Floats Over
the City of David; Commander Takes Steps to
Preserve Sacred Shrines and Private
' Property.
(By Associated Press.)
London, Dec. 11. Official entry
into Jerusalem, the holy city of the
Christians, is planned for today.
Allied troops entered the capital of
Palestine after it was'surrounded and
the Turks were forced to Surrender.
Capture of the city was delayed
through the fear that fighting opera
tion might result in the damaging of
religious shrines.
No attempt will be made to define
the future position of Jerusalem until
a general peace comes, the Times
says it understands. In the mean
time the city w ill be treated as in
British military occupation and will
be under martial law. General Alien
by will appoint a military governor.
While the British flag will fly over
the city, the French and Italian flags
will be placed over their national
property, such as convents and
schools.
A solemn thanksgiving and te deum
was held in St. Paul's cathedral
today in celebration of the surrender,
field fo. Research.
The historical significance of this
event cannot be overestimated.
Archaeologists who formerly have
been embarrassed, if not forcibly
hindered in . their tireless work of
excavation, will now have unrestricted
access to a fertile field of inestimably
interest to the student of Bible life
and times.
Thousands of Crusaders, believing
themselves called to a holy war, shed
their blood before Acre and other
points near the holy city, only to be
repelled by the sabre of the ferocious
Turk.
The Zionists, who are at present
making extensive plans for the return
of the Jews to their ancient home, are
especially jubilant over the restora
tion of the capital to civilized peoples.
It is believed that much contention
regarding the authenticity of certain
portions of both old and new testa
ments will now be silenced. Adher
ents of both Jewish and Christian
faiths say that historical sources will
be brought to light, establishing many
facts of Bible times now surrounded
by a cloud of superstition and unbe
lief. Children's Crusade.
At one time an army of children
marched" toward Jerusalem, believing
that the Moslem would sher-.th his
bloody sword at the sight of the
young and innocent marching upon
the city. Hundreds of babes died on
the way, and the expedition had to be
bandoned.
Richard the Lion-Hearted, famed in
romance and song, led several expedi
tions .'.-gainst the former Jewish
stronghold, and was taken prisoner
ind barely escaped with his life on
more than one occasion.
Reporter Arrested
While on Trail of
A Balloon
States in general that the greatest
precautions be taken to prevent spies
from obtaining photographs of any
part of a fort or post; or to let every
Tom. Dick and Harry have free access
to the grounds for fear that a spy
could slip in and in a few seconds do
irreparable injury. Finally the re
porter was released and the rapidity
with which he "beat it" to the gate
and liberty would have made a jack
rabbit look as if it was tied to a post.
The reporter as soon as he got out
side the gate of the army post tele
phoned his office to explain where he
had been half the day. Just as he
left The telephone booth he bumped
into a newsboy yelling "Wuxtry
Bee! He bought a paper and there
was the story of the balloon explo
sion in big, bold type on the front
page. "Good thing I got outside the
gate before the colonel had a chance
to see a Bee," mused the scribe.
There are proper methods of pro
cedure to go through to gain admit
tance to the post and after one knows
how it is no trouble at all, but bear
m mind that any individual cannot
stalk around and walk roughshod
over the prescribed rules and regula
tions. The slogan, "Safety first," is
quite applicable to forts and posts.

porter sat huddled down in his chair
in the office wondering whether he
would be escorted from the post at
the point of a ba.-onet or shot a sun
rise. In a surreptitious manner he
cast about for some means of escape,
but at each entrance stood an armed
guard and all officers carried big re
volvers a little less than a foqt long
strapped to thnr waists.
"Now," reasoned the reporter to
himself, "would it be safe to attempt
to make a getaway and get riddled
with small particles of ore, or would
it be better to await the arrival of
the colonel; make a complete confes
sion and ask for leniency." Deeming
discretion the better part of valor, he
selected the latter course.
Colonel Explains Regulations.
After the trying ordeal was over
Colonel Hersey did not appear to
be a big boogy. In fact, he acted
very gentlemanly and listened at
tentively while the reporter pleaded
his case. He gently explained to the
scribe that it was absolutely neces
sary for the well being of the United

men liable to have changing views.
Refuse to Obey Bolsheviki.
Peking, Dec. 11. The council of
soldiers' and workmen's deputies at
Harbin, Manchuria, on the trans- Si
berian railway line, have received tele
grams from Nikola Lenine, the Bol
sheviki premier in Petrograd, order
ing the council to assume control of
the town, the railway and the Rus
sian customs on the Manchurian
frontiers.
The Chinese astern railway em
ployes union has prosted against this
action as bringing in foreign inter
ference. . The railway men express
their determination to support Lieu
tenant General Horvath, the Russian
military commander at Harbin, saying
that it is imposible for either the for
eign authorities or khe local social
organizations to recognize the Bol
sheviki rule.
Fighting in Moscow.
London, Dec. 11. Street fighting
has occurred in Moscow, and the
Swedish consul there has advised all
Swedes to leave, the city, according
to advices received in Haparanda and
forwarded by the Stockholm corre
spondent of the Morning Post. It is
added that starvation seems to threat
en Moscow. Most of the Swedes there
arc said to have taken the consul's
advice.
The situation in Moscow is reported
to be grave, according to a Times
dispatch from Petrograd. The Bol
sheviki, according to Petrograd news
papers, have placed machine guns in
the streets, as they fear an uprising of
hostile parties. The garrison, how
ever, shows signs of insubordination
and is reported to be disobeying the
Bolsheviki commander, a priate sol
dier named Murangff. Considerable
forces, the dispatch adds, are being
detached from the west front to be
sent against the Cossacks.
London, Dec. ll.The Cossacks
are preparing to fight, he Petrograd
correspondent of the Daily Mail re
ports. Three trainloads of Cossacks
are said to be at Bielgorod and three
at Sumy, commanded by General
Korniloff. Extremist red guards to
the number of about ',000 are expect
ed at Kharko. from Moscow.
Bolsheviki Troops Defeated.
Petrograd. Sunday, Dec. 9. A "bat
talion of death," which left Staffka, is
reported to have defeated the Bol
sheviki troops near the town of

printed page constitutes the annual
report, made public today, of Rear
Admiral David W. Taylor, chief of
the bureau of construction ana re

Water Facilities at Fort Crook
Questioned, But Objection
Disposed of in Letter From
Commissioner Manley.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Washington, D. C. Dec. 10. Spe
cial Telegram.) Omaha is still the
subject of serious consideration by the
surgeon general's office for, the loca
tion of one of the reconstruction hos
pitals soon to be needed when wound
ed and ' invalided- boys return from
France. Last week one of the objec
tions raised against Fort Crook as the
site for such a hospital was inade
quate water supply and further that it
might not be large enough comfort
ably to house a large number of
wounded. Happily a letter was re
ceived from Commissioner Manley of
the Omah.i Commercial club which
gives all the information desired by
the surgeon general's office to the
points above mentioned. This letter
was sent the surgeon general by Con
gressman Lobeck as soon as received.
Mr. Manley states that the Omaha
water board has agreed to extend the
water main from South Omaha to
Fort Crook without expense to the
government. The letter further says:
"Colonel Settle, commanding officer
of the Forty-first infantry, now oc
cupying Fort Crook, desires to requisi
tion the government for water and is
now preparing his information so that
he may sendtit in with his requisition."
As to the possible enlargement of Fort
Crook, Mr. Manley writes: "Photo

Telegraphers' Strike
Averted by Mediation
Washington, Dec. lU -Difficulties
which threatened a strike of 2..W0 te
legraphers employed by the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad and a tieup of traf
fic on one of the country's most im
portant munitions and coal-carrying
roads were settled today by the fed
eral board of mediation and concilia
tion under the direction of Commis
sioner G. W. Hanger.
A basic eight-hour day and in
creased pay Jor overtime work were
the most important concessions
gained by the men. Questions of pay
for all Sunday work and a general 20
per cent increase in wages will be ar
bitrated by a board to be chosen by
the two sides.
Today's settlement is regarded by
the Order of Railway Telegraphers
as confirming the principle of an
eight-hour day for operators, which
has been established through demands
made on western roads.

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This destroys
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
By morning most if not all of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it, no
matter how much dandruff you may
have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid p.cven at any
drug store. It is inexpensive, and four
kounces is all you will need. This sim
ple remedy has never been knnwa to
