Name Address i GENERAL ALLENBY WALKS AFOOT INTO CITY OF JERUSALEM Announcement of Triumphant Entry Made by Lloyd George. Wilson Praised by British Officials LONDON. Dec. 12. —Premier Lloyd George today announced in the house of commons that General Allenby, the British commander in Palestine, entered Jerusalem on foot on Tuesday. Several factors combine to make the moment particularly opportune for a war aim speech from the premier—and Lloyd George is a kneen enough poli tician to sieze the psychological moment to "put over” such a mesage not only tothe people of England and of allied nations, but indirectly to the German populace. The Russia is teetering in the balance. A repledging of war aims may be of vital asistance to the allied cause there. The German military machine is ex erting its greatest efforts preparatory to another offensive which the German public knows will mean a horible toll of dead piled on the already appalling total which Germany has suffered. An additional factor is the political situation in England. The Lansdowne letter beclouded the atmosphere. It repudiated the "war to a knockout" slogan which Lloyd George announced in an interview more than a year ago. and which has been accepted throughout England. On top of it came ITesident Wilson’s message to congress with its incisive, frank and complete announcement of Americas war aims. Churchill Pleased Winston Churchill, minister of muni tions. discussed war aims at Bedford yesterday and some newspaper com ment today remarked on significant pas sages of that speech as hinting at the posibiltty of a new general election in England. Churchill declared "President Wilson’s statement of war aims is good enough for me.” and denounced infer entially the supporters of the Lans downe peace without a victory adher ents. At the same time, former Presmier As quith. speaker at Birmingham, em phatically endorsed President Wilson’s re-statement of war aims as those for which the allies as a whole are fight ing. He insisted much criticism of the Lansdowne letter had been based on an erroneous reading of it. Today’s London newspapers regarded Asquith's speech as a precise endorse ment of President Wilson’s aims. “The gist of Asquith's and Wilson’s policy is that the German people must be taught that militarism does not pay,” declared the Times. "Another interpre tation of the Lansdowne letter was un warranted. Asquith’s attitude toward the war is not in accord with the main idea of the letter.” "Asquith reaffirmed that what Presi dent Wilson has voiced in the past year." the Chronicle declared. The News glowingly praised Asquith. "Asquith and President Wilson only disagree with Lansdowne regarding the nature of the guarantees,” the edi torial asserted. "Asquith and Wilson insist on peace sanctioned by a league of nations and Lansdowne on peace by the old diplo macy.” United States Faces Greatest Danger of History, Says M’Adoo WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. —The United States faces the greatest peril in its history—Germany Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo stated today. ’’Because of the remoteness of the war in point of miles the peril is not lessened,” he said. ’’Civilization is at stake and if civilization loses, the na tion lo«es.” The remarks were made before a gath ering of government employes who wit nesessed the swearing in of James Wil meth and Paul Meyers as chief of the bureau of engraving and treasury chief clerk, respectively. “We are all soldiers now,” the secre tary told them, “and when I think of the boys over there dying and perhaps filling nameless graves, it seems piti fully little for us to be asked'to give only our energies." John McCormack Gives SIOO,OOO to Red Cross WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—A gift of 8100.000 to the Red C*ross from Johh McCormack, the tenor, was announced today. Paying his own expense. Mr. Mc- Cormack will make a patriotic concert tour from the Atlantic to the Pacific, opening in Washington December 18, with a concert which the president and Mrs. Wilson have announced they will attend. ”1 will keep on singing until I have earned 1100,000, which the American Red Cross may use as it sees fit,” said Mr. McCormack.

MORTON SMITH. BRILLIANT EDITOR. DIES ON WEDNESDAY Was Assistant Managing Edi tor of The Journal for Many Years and One of South’s Greatest Newspaper Men Mr. Morton Smith, assistant managing editor of The Atlanta Journal, a direc tor of The Journal company and one of the most widely known as well as one of the most beloved newspaper men in the south, died at 4 o’clock-Wednesday morn ing at his home in Atlanta, 101 Lucile avenue. For a number of years he had been ill. An invalid, he had been unable to leave his home, and for a long time his family and his friends have known that the end was not far. Yet his death, though it was not unexpected, comes as a shock and a deep grief to those who counted Morton Smith a dear and pre cious friend. The men associated with him on The Journal, those in other cities who work ed beside him in former years, Atlan tians who knew him from boyhood—to these Morton Smith's death will be a lasting sorrow. Os late they had not been so close to him as in other days, yet on the white winter morning when they heard that Morton Smith had gone away, there came crowding back on them a myriad sweet and tender recollections of the time when Morton Smith was one among them, vivid memories of his record of brave achievements and of the man himself, his high nobility of character, his wonderful ability, his steadfast de votion to his duty, his work, his dear ones. . Mr. Smith was forty-six years old on the fourth of this month. He died on the seventy-fifth birthday of his moth er, on the eve of the anniversary of the death of his father four years ago. Death Came Quietly Death came to him quietly just before dawn. His mother, his wife and his young son had been with him until he fell into a peaceful sleep, from which he did not wake. Besides his mother, Mrs. John M, Smith, Mr. Smith is survived by his wife, Mrs. Brownie Harris Smith; his son. John M. Smith; two sisters, Mrs. George White and Miss Mary Lou Smith; and two brothers, John E. Smith and Ralph Smith. Morton Smith was horn and reared in Atlanta and had lived here practical ly all his life. His father, a native of Ireland, came to America as a youth, and before his death had become known and loved as one of Atlanta’s leading and honored citizens. . Trade Commission to Campaign Against Food Speculators WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.—The federal trade commission, at Herbert Hoover’s request, will soon smoke out dishonest food speculators. An investigation, led by Commission er Victor Murdock, will proceed under Hoover’s charges that "some dishonest wholesale and retail merchants and food brokers have been criminally responsible in no small measure for shortages in many foodstuffs—especially perishables —and also for mounting prices.” That dealers gamble on a rising mar ket and let goods stand on sidings fre quently if their gamble fails, is claimed by the commission. ”1 propose to bring any violators to the sternest payment of justice,” de clared Mr. Murdock today. “Pernicious business practices which net the men who follow them a little extra blood money must be stamped out at the start and kept stamped out. “I am going to give my entire time, if it is necessary, to put some of these war leeches behind bars. where they rightly belong.” * Mr. Murdock wants every citizen to aid in hunting down the profiteers. Three Badlv Wanted Men Are Arrested by Pensacola Authorities (Special Dispatch to The Journal.> MOBIBLE, Ala., Dec. 12.—Louis Smith alias “South;” Louis Fain, alias "Meir Berchenk," and William ICnnie, alias “One Spot,” are under arrest at Pensa cola, Fla,, charged with the robbery Saturday night of the furniture store of R. N. Hudson, on the principal thor oughfare here. They have confessed. Fain admitted he was a deserter from the ambulance corps at Camp Gordon, Georgia. The men walked into Hudson’s store while the street was crowded with shop pers. While one cut the telephone wires the two others compelled Hudson to open his safe and hand out ?200. The prisoners were remanded pending a requisition. The highwaymen also con fessed to stealing a Hudson car at At lanta and robbing safes in Jackson ville. Growing Garden Truck Is Damaged by Freeze (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) FITZGERALD, Ga, Dec. 12. The cold wave struck Fitzgerald on schedule time and the mercury registered 20 de grees above zero last night. Growing garden truck and water pipes suffered considerably from the freeze. Fitzgerald bakers have just been licensed under the food administration act, with the result that sweet cakes are practically prohibited and the standard loaf must weigh sixteen ounces and sell for 10 cents. The pub lic is well pleased with the arrange ment. An epidemic of small burglaries is on in this city, no less than three sep arate hauls being effected during the last week, one of them being at the ex pense of one of the city police. It is suspicioned that local talent is respon sible and the police are on the alert to land the culprits. Mrs. Gerard Operated On NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Mrs. James W. Gerard, wife of the former Ameri can ambassador to Germany, was suc cessfully operated on here today for appendicitis. Every indication is for Mrs. Gerard’s speedy recovery. PEOPLE OF FRANCE ARE VERY SAD AND , SOLEMN, HE SAYS Milner, Ga,, Boy Now in American Navy, Spending Short Leave With Friends in Atlanta In France the eternal question until recently has been. “When are the Amer ican soldiers coming over?" said George Littlejohn, a Milner, Ga., boy, who is in Atlanta spending a few days on a furlough from the United States cruiser Columbia, which is docked at an Amer ican port after a voyage to France. Littlejohn, who enlisted in the navy thirteen months ago, said that at the French port where his ship put in sev eral weeks ago the people are very sad and solemn. "Nearly everybody wears black,” he said, "and everybody is sad. There are few men to be seen, and most of those one does see are crippled. Women do most of the work, even at. the wharves; and because there are so few men to work in the fields food is very scarce. When we were there the people contin-* ually asked us if the United States would send much food over, but even more con tinually they asked us about the sol diers coming. One day some United States cavalrymen disembarked at this port, and their coming was greeted with the greatest of enthusiasm. The people all believe they need more men to fight the Germans, and the arrival of every American soldier makes the French think the war is so much closer to be ing ended.” Littlejohn said his ship saw no sub marines going over, but on coming back they were followed for two days, he said, the U-boat taking shots at them twice, but missing both times. “We could not get a good range on it, so we did not fire in return,” he added. Littlejohn’s furlough will be ended on Saturday. He is the son of P. J. Lit tlejohn, of Milner, and during his stay in Atlanta is the guest of W. Garland Cooper, at 143 Dill avenue. Littlejohn is twenty years old and a magnificent specimen of manhood, being 6 feet 3 inches in height and weighing 200 pounds. Liquor Cannot Lawfully Be Insured in Georgia, Court of Appeals Holds Fire insurance policies upon stocks of liquor in Georgi aare null and void, according to a decision of the court if appeals Tuesday morning in the case of Isadore Woods vs. the First Na tional Fire Insurance company. The plaintiff, who did business in Sa vannah, took out a policy in August, 1915, covering a stock of goods de scribed as merchandise which, under the terms, were required to be kept in a prescribed building. Part of the stock consisted of wines and liquors. That part if the stock, the court holds, cannot be lawfully insured, because a policy written upon it is directly con nected with an act prohibited by law. The store was burned in November. 1915. That part of the policy which covered musical instruments in the stick insured is held ti be lawful and the plaintiff may recover ti that ex tent. The judgment of the lower court was sustained. 100 Dead, 500 Injured, In Portugal Revolution LISBON. Dec. 11.—Portugal’s suc cessful revolution cost at least a hun dred dead and 500 wounded in clashes between rebels and the old government forces, acording to latest estimates to day.

City Physicians Explain Why They Prescribe Nuxated Iron T o Make Beautiful, Healthy W omen and Strong, V igorous Men NOW BEING USED BY OVER THREE MILLION PEOPLE ANNUALLY Quickly Transforms the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, and pallid cheeks of weak, anaemic men and women into a perfect glow of health and beauty—Often increase*, the strength of delicate, nervous, run-down folks 100 per cent in two weeks’ time. New \ork, N. Y.—lt is conservatively esti mated that over three million people annually in this country alone are taking Nuxated Iron. Such astonishing results have been reported from its use both by doctors and laymen, that a num ber of physicians in various parts of tbe country have been asked to explain why they prescribe Ji so extensively, and why it apparently pro duces so much better results than weie obtained from the old forms of inorganic iron. Extracts from some of the letters received are given below: Dr. Ferdinand King, a New York Physician and Medical Author, says: “There can be no vigorous iron men without iron. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficiency. The skin of anaemic men and women Is pale: the flesh flabby; the muscles lack tone, the brain fags nnd the memory fails and they often become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from tbe blood of women, the roses go from their cheeks. In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polisbed rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, maca roni, spaghetfi, tapioca, sago, farina, degermi nated corn meal, no longer is iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste-pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked are responsible for another grave tron loss. Therefore, if you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe old age, you must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when yor food has not enough salt. Dr. A. J. Newman, late Police Surgeon of tbe City of Chicago and former House Surgeon, Jef ferson Park Hospital, Chicago, in commenting on Nuxated Iron, says: "It has been my par ticular duty during the past six years to assist in keeping Chicago’s five thousand bluecoats in good health and nerfect fighting trim so that they would be physically equipped to withstand at; manner of storms and the ravages of na ture’s elements. Recently I was prompted through an endorse ment cf Nuxated Iron by Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York, to give it a trial. This remedy has proven through my own tests of it to excel any preparation I hare ever used for creating red blood, building up the nerves, strengthening the muscles and correcting diges tive disorders." Dr. E. Sauer, a Boston physician, who has studied widely both in this country and In great European Medical Institutions, says: “As I have said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If peo ple would only take Nuxated Iron when they feel weak or rundown, instead of dosing them selves with habit-forming drugs, stimulants and alcoholic beverages I am convinced that In this wny they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and Our “Home Beautiful” Collection This massive collection is composed of twelve one-year Ww W shrubs and trees, of the varieties described below.

But in ~ “ I K V the casp thereby tbe lives of thonsands might be saved who now die every year from pneumonia, grippe, kidney, liver, heart trouble and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their diseases was nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in the blood. Not long ago a man came to me who was r.early half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examination for life insur ance. I was astonished to find him with a blood pressure of a boy o«’ 20 and as full of vigor, vim and vitality as a jxiung man; in fact, a young man he really was not<ithstanding his age. Tbe secret, he said, was taking iron— nuxated iron had filled nlm with renewed life. At 30 he wns in bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all in—now at 50, after taking Nuxated Iron a miracle of vitality and ills fape beaming with the buoyancy of youth. Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. With out it, no matter bow much or what you eat, your food merely passes tbrugh you without do ing you any good, and as a consequence yon tM‘< > ome weak, pale and slckly-looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in Iron. If you are not strong or well you owe it to yourself to make tbe following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five grain tablets of ordinary nuxated Iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test <your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have seen dosens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all tbe while i.ouble their strength and endurance and entire ly rid thebselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, iver and other troubles in from ten to four teen days' time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some <-nses been doctoring for months without ob-' taming any benefit. But don’t take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simpiy to save a few cents. The iron demanded by Mother Nature for tbe red coloring matter In the blood of her children is, alas! not that kind of iron. You must take iron in a •'orm that can be easily absorbed and assimi lated to do yon any good, otherwise It may prove »orse tbnn useless.

B Vail, formerly physician in the Baltimore Hospital and a medical examiner, says: “Time and again, I have prescribed or ganic iron—Nnxated Iron—and surprised pa tients at the rapidity with which the weakness end general debility were replaced by a renewed teeling of strength and vitality. One man 47 years old who had practically worn himself out with stimulating medicines and nauseous con coctions came to me recenUy after a month’s course of Nuxated Iron and declared. ’Doctor, I feel aa full of life and energy as when a boy of 21.’ When you compare a product like Nux ated Iron which is easily asslmi'ated and does not injure the teeth, with the older forms of organic iron products it is easily assimilated, the teeth and passed through the body without doing any good, it is not surprising that mil lions of people annually are now taking Nux -1 ated Iron and physicians everywhere are pre scribing it.” NOTE—Nnxated Iron, waich is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose Iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both in Europe and America. I'nlike the older in organic iron products it is easily assimilated, does not injure th c teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach; on the contrary, it is a most potent remedy in nearly all forms of in digestion as well as for nervous, rundown condi tions. The manufacturers have such great con fidence in nuxated iron, that they offer to ferfeit 8100.00 to any charitable institution if they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks’ time, provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days' time. It is dispensed in this city by all good druggists.—(Advt.)
