WILL ACCEPT TAFT
AS AN ARBITRATOR
Hampstead Says He Would
Be Great Asset to Sport.
By FREDERICK G. LIEB.

II William Howard Taft will consent
10 accept q position as arbitrator be-
tween the National and American
leagues IL will be entirely satisfactory
to Harry Hampstead. president OF the
New York Giants who with II. II. Fra
ace. owner of the. Red Sox, first ap-
preached the former President on the
subject of acting as one man National
Commission.
Mr.. Taft RS arbitrator would meet
with the approval of all the other Ma
tional League club owners except Au-
gust Hermann. present chairman OF the
National Commission. All but Herr
mann have telegraphed to the former
President asking him to accept.
President Hampstead further discussed
the tentative offer made to Mr. Taft yes
tsrdsy. At a luncheon given to news
PAPER men yesterday at the Railroad
Club by Daniel Brady he said. TO have
Mr.. Taft as Arbitrator or judge of base
ball cases would be great thing for
the sport.
We never thought OF having Mr.. Taft
take over all the arduous work formerly
attended 10 by the National Commission.
For instance. he need not hare anything
TO do with the worlds series. There Is
no reason why all the details OF these
games cannot be attended to Dy the
presidents of the two big leagues
Heretofore the chairman of the Ma
tional Commission really had the power
Of one man commissioner. In disputes
between the two leagues he always had
the power to cast the deciding vote.
Where the two league presidents could
come to agreement there was no neces-
s!ty OF bringing the matter 10 the atten-
zion Of the commission.
And believe that would be the atti-
tude Of baseball II we could procure the
valuable services OF Mr.. Taft. The
Presidents OF the two leagues would at
temn, to settle all disputed cases as
amicably as possible. But where there
was conflict OF interests and a dis
agreement, the matter could be referred
to Mr., Taft as an impartial Judge, and
. fair decision would be the result.

 FRENCH TERRITORY

PARIS, Nov. 14.-(By the Associated Press). s).-Germany' troops began to evacuate France and Belgium on Tues day. The allied troops then moved for ward, the Americans, advancing in the direction of Metz and Strassburg.
 Marshal Foch, commander -in- chief of the allied armies, will make solemn entries into these German fortresses on Sunday, in the presence of President Poincare and Premier Clemenceau. The marshal will ride into the cities on Croesus, his favorite charger.
 It is probable that the departments in the rewon territory will resume their old names, namely, Bas Rhine. Prefec- ture of Strassburg; Haul Rhine, Prefec- ture of Colmar, and Moselle, prefecture of Metz. The government already is considering the establishment of pro- vlsional administration arrangements.
 The occupation of the territory on the left bank of the Rhine and the bridgeheads will not be undertaken by the allied forces until later.
 The liberation of Belgium promises to be rapidly accomplished On the oc- caslon of the re-entry of Belgian SOW ereigns into Brussels, the French gov ernment has decided to present to the queen the grand cordon of the legion of honor and to the heir apparent the chevelier's cross and the cross of war
 In conformity with the agreement reached between Marshal Foch and the delegates, a period of five days has been allowed to the enemy in which to hand over all the armament material stipulated in the armistice.
 The French command asked the Ger mans for information as to where mines had been laid and was informed that some had been placed in the Ostend station and timed to explode yesterday The German command accordingly was asked to send officers to locate the ex- plosives.
 An additional day, making fifteen days in all from the date of the armis tice, has been granted to the enemy for evacuation of Belgium, Luxemburg and Alsace Lorraine.
 Marshal Foch has directed the Ger mans to send officers to the king of the Belgians at Bruges to give information regarding the German and Luxembure railroad and canal systems and the navigation of the Rhine.
 The Germans today are sending ar officer to Chimay to arrange. ritt French officers for the handing over ot the arms and material which German, has to surrender

 ID NOBLE PRIDE

WITH THE FRENCH ARMY IN FRANCE, Tuesday, Nov. 12.-(By The Associated Press)- General Petain, the French commander-in- chief, has issued the following or der of the day to his troops:
 "To the French armies:
 During the long months you have fought, history will record the tenacity and fierce energy dis played during these four years by our country, which had to vanqulsh in order not to die.
 Tomorrow in order to better dictate peace, you are going to car ry your arms as far as the Rhine. Into that land of Alsace- Lorraine that is so dear to us, you will march as liberators. You will go further, all the way into Germany to occupy lands which are the nec- essay guarantees for just repara- ton.
 France has suffered in her raw aged fields and in her ruined Vli- laees. The freed provinces have had to submit to intolerable vex- ations and odious outraaes. but you are not to answer these crimes by the commission of violenees which, under the spur of your resentment may seem to you legitimate.
 "You are to remain under discip- line and to show respect to persons and property. You will know. after having vanquished your adversary by force of arms, how to impress him further by the dignity of your attitude and the world will not know which to admire most, your conduct in success or your heroism in fighting.
 "I address fond and affection ate greeting to our dead, whose sacrifices gave us the victory. And send message of salutation. full of sad affection, to the fathers, to the mothers. to the widows and or phans of France. who in these days of national joy, dry their tears for a moment to acclaim the triumph of our arms. bow my head before your magnificent flags. Vive La France.
