employes into labor organizations.
The opinions were, rendered .in the

Washington, Dec. 10.—Mail and
freight carrying, the locating of ves-
sels in distress at sea, the destroying
of derelicts menacing navigation and
the, mapping of the United States are
some of the duties to which the gov-
ernment proposes to put airplanes af-
ter the war.
Dr. W. F. Durand, chairman of the
national advisory committee for aero-
nautics, in a statement tonight of the
scope and plans of the civil aerial
transport committees said the future
of aviation is of vital importance be-
cause upon it depends "the possibil-
ity of salvaging the present invest-
ment in aviation expressed in terms of
human energy, skilled workmen,
trained aviators, time and capital."
"Peace will find this country with
an immense air capital on hand and
comprising skilled workmen, factories,
machinery and industrial organization
in effective operation," said Dr. Du-
rand. "This capital must he so con-

"The first and more obvious use of
airplanes in the future lies in the de-

appropriated $100,000 for the initial
steps in aerial mall delivery. P|ans

the airdromes, quarters, personnel,

have developed aerial mail service in

The position of the railroads them-

to Senator Newlands from Fairfax
Harrison, chairman of the railroad
board. The railroads, Mr. Harrison
declared, do not seek a repeal of
any legislation, believing the co-
operative use of facilities recently
put Into operation will bring about
maximum efficiency. Neither do they
seek a loan from the government, he
said, though government aid is ask-

KATE RAISED FROM TO 1-
PER CENT—PRIVATE FIRMS
TO FOLLOW Sl lT?
(Associated press Dispatch.)
Washington, Dec. 10.—The general
upward movement of interest rates
was recognized today by the federal
farm loan board by raising the rate
on government loans to farmers from
5 to 5 1-2 per cent in anticipation of
a later increase in the present 4 1-2
per cent rate on farm loan bonds. De-
cision probably will be reached tomor-
row whether to raise the bond interest
rate at this time or to reduce the sell-
ing price which heretofore has been
at a premium of 1 1-8 per cent.
In spite of the decision reached by
tho farm loan board, Secretary Mc-
Adoo said today he hoped future issues
of Liberty bonds would bear 4 per
cent, the same as of the second loan.
One of the immediate effects of the
higher farm loan rates, it is expected,
will be to encourage a similar advance
of private mortgage loan rates on
land, which now range from 1-2 to 2
per cent above the government loans.
Reports reached the treasury today
that several insurance companies with
big loans on middle western farm
lands had decided to make no new
loans in order to keep assets liquid and
would refuse to renew many expiring
mortgages. This, it ras pointed out,
would tend to increase the cost of
available loans.
The farm loan system has placed
nearly 130,000,000 In loans since It
started operation six months ago and
applications for $300,000,000 are pend-
ing. Private loans outstanding on
farm lands in the entire country are
estimated at nearly $4,000,000,000
The new Interest rate announced to-
day will not apply to loans approved
by any of the farm land banks though

The counter-revolt against the Tiol-
shevikl regime In southeastern Russia
apparently is gaining momentum. Al-
ready the movement Is spreading fan-
like from the chosen bases northward,
northeastward and northwestward,
while preparations are hastening to
extend It southward to the Caucasus.
Meanwhile the Uolshevikl government
continues to issue manifestos calling
on its followers to resist the attempt
that is being made to overthrow it.
From his base in the river Don re-
gion, General Kaledines, hetmall of
the Don Cossacks, is moving toward
the borders of the Ukraine, which al-
ready has declared its independence
of and hositlit.v to the Uolshevikl ele-
ments, and at the same time is forming
a menace to Moscow, where the Bo),
sheviki are in control, In the center
others of the revolutionaries are mak-
ing their way northward, while from
Otenburg, near the Silxuian frontier,
General luitoff is proceeding in a
northeasterly direction with the object
of capturing cheliahin.sk, the junction
point of the trans-Siberian railway, in
order to prevent food and other sup-
plies reaching European Russia, espec-
ially Pelrograd, from Siberia and Pa-
cific ports.
Siberia Opposes liolslict ikis.
Although it has not definitely align-
ed itself with the revolutionary move-
ment, the new republic of Siberia lias
issued an order that promises mater-
ially to aid the Kaledines force. This
order forbids the shipment of food
supplies into European Russia, the
ground being taken that they may
reach the Germans.

successful counter blow against tho
liritiith lines before Cambrai was at-
tributed by Secretary Makers weekly
review of military operations to tho
massing of the greatest Teutonic force
of tho war on the western front.
"It would not do for us to minimize
is Importance." the secretary warned.
"It means that \>o must speed up our
military efforts.'
This was the situation that confront-
ed the new "super" war council, when
ti met in Mr. Maker's office late today
for its tirst extended business session.
The council, including the five cabinet
oflleers oonipoHing the count 11 of na-
tional defense, the heads of the war
hoards and administrations was greet*
oit personally by President Wilson. He
remained only a few minutes, leaving
them to sit long in deliberation over
their grave problems.
What new plans for speeding up
were laid was not disclosed after tho
mooting. The only suggestion was
that there would be increased eo-ope-
I ration between tho various govorn-
I meat departments and between those
j in turn and the war boards that deal
I directly with tho industries of the
I country.

be given to tho moves of tho council
except in Isolated cases and whore
some immediate result Is to bo gained
in that way. Probably the minutes

Jerusalem Is in the hands of th«
British after having been for virtually
1,200 years In the control of the Mos-
lems.
The Holy City of tho Christian re-
ligion capitulated to ^len
forces, consisting 0f British. French
and Italian troops, ufter it had been
entirely surrounded, and with its fall
seemingly swept away the dream of
the Turks of driving southward,
through Palestine, capturing the Sues
canal and invading Kgypt.
Since the recent taking jf the town
of Jaffa on the Mediterranean and
the closing in mi Jerusalem by the al-
lied forces, the fall of the ancient city
daily had been anticipated. It was
not the lack of strength that prevented
Its capture, but rather the desire of
General Allenby to carry out his plan
of enveloping the city and forcing its
capitulation, as a frontal attack would
have endangered the numerous sacred
places inside the city and in Its en-
vironments.

brief interludes, of more than 1,200
years possession of the seat of tho

Jerusalem being tho German emperor,
Frederick II, whose short lived domi-
nation lasted from 122!i to 121-1.
Apart from its connection with the
campaign being waged against Tur-
key by tho British in Mesopotamia,
the fall of Jerusalem was the definite
collapse of the long protracted efforts
of the Turks to capture the Suez canal
and invade Egypt. Almost the first
move made by Turkey after her en-

Pete's theory, based upon pre-
vious circulation campaigns, is that
tho daily average should keep up,
but the fact that the number of
prospective subscribers within our
territory is daily diminishing as the
list grows, means that more and
more effort must be put behind
tlie campaign to win.
While this is a campaign for mall
subscriptions only, friends of the
Telegram residing in Temple may.
if interested in our tremendous ef-
fort, take advantage of our special
bargain mall rate by sending the
Telegram for the year i»lS (paper
will be started at once if desired)
to some out of town friend or rela-
tive. Phone the circulation mana-
ger and aslc about tho special of-
fer.
