READY To CO OVER
ENEMY'S FRONTIER
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


LUXEMBURG. Friday, Nov. 22.-
(By the Associated Press )-Within a
stones throw, at some points of the
rear guard of the German army, the
American forces under Major General
Dickman settled themselves today for
step across the enemy'S frontier.
Without opposition at any place, the
Americans continued the absorption of
that part of the territory evacuated by
the Germans under the armistice
terms. On the extreme left, the Amer
ican army of occupation reached be-
fore nightfall, Ingledorf, about a mile
west Of Diekirch. In general, a line
along the Our and Moselle rivers was
occupied, the extreme right being
south of Remich. The closing move
ment today brought more than a score
of towns under allied control. In one
or two of these, just west of the Ger
man frontier, the inhabitants were
somewhat less demonstrative, but even
then a majority of the people seemed
to be pleased at the change. In most
of the towns enthusiasm found lively
expression in flags hanging from pub
lie buildings and even the poorest
houses, while the villagers shouted a
welcome to every passing group of SOL
dierS.
Along the Moselle river near the
northern part of the lines, the Amer
lean outposts look across the narrow
stream at German soldiers marching
or sauntering along the streets of viii
lagos, over which the German flag
flew. Grevenacher, the largest town
in proximity to the American line, was
evacuated before noon, the movement
of the Germans to the opposite bank
of the river indicating they were max
ing ready to retire still further during

MAN AND DOCF|.CHT
To EAT DEAD HORSE
So SCARCE IS FOOD
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

LONDON, Nov. 23.-Dogs and men
are battling in Petrograd for the flesh
Of horses which drop dead in the
streets, according to a British business
man who has just arrived in London.
He escaped from Petrograd early in
November.
The bolshevik government he said,
had announced, since the recapture of
KaZan, Simbirsk and Samara, that
they void have grain enough to feed
the soldiers, sailors and their own par
tisans throughout the winter. They
will not issue food to any other persons.
AS a result, money has lost its food
buying power and the -bolshevik
Russians are in desperate condition.
All the wholesale and retail estab-
lishments have been nationaliZed and
by putting bolshevik COMMITTEES in
charge of all residences, M. Zinovieff,
the food administrator, has effected
a complete secret service system of
food. The transport of food into Petro-
grad is under close supervision, cut
ting off the last source available to
non -bolsheviki.
The friction between Zinovieff and
the Moscow authorities continues, Iii
novieff insisting that the northern
commune should be Independent.
Murder to Save Food
The bolshevild are executing many
prisoners and are making no attempt
to conceal that such action has been
forced upon them in order to conserve
food.
The British narrator says the boil
sheviki strength in Petrograd, as well
as in Moscow, has increased since the
attempts on Lenine's life and the ad-
vances in the Volga region, largely be-
cause many Russian liberals believe
that they must choose between the
bolsheviki and the extreme reaction
aries, as none of the faction leaders
in the center show strength.
Maxim Gorky has Joined the bolshe-
Wiki and has accepted a position in the
department of education. Many others
who were at first opposed to the boil
sheviki are taking similar action. The
Petrograd commune recently required
householders to give over their blan-
kets, presumably for the army, under
heavy penalty, and a great scanda
has developed through the discovery
by SAILORS of a trainload of blanks de.
stined for Germany.
In spite of the widespread desolation

ASK TAFT To HEAD

COMM|SS|ONSA|P
Ex-President Has Offer I'm

Make Him Highest Off
cial In The Sport World
rRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Nov. 23-F er
President William Howard Taft has
been offered the position of sole mem
Der Of the National Baseball commits
sion, according to announcement here
tonight by H. N. Hampstead, president
of the New York Nationals, and Harry
Frazee, president of the Boston Ameri-
cans. Mr.. Taft is said to be considering
the offer.
Acceptance by Mr.. Taft would mean
the passing of the present national
commission, which is composed of two
league presidents and a third member
and, it is said, wohld shear Ban B.
Johnson, president Of the American
league, of the powers which have
earned for him the title of baseball
dictator" The offices Of the new "one
man commission" would be in New
York The offer to Mr.. Taft is said to
have been made without the knowledge
of western presidents of the two
leagues. All of the eastern club presi-
dents are said to have approved the Of
fer and this would give the originators
of the idea sufficient votes to carry the
proposal
Only Two Members Now
The national commission at present
has only two members, former Cover
nor John K. Tener of Pennsylvania
having relinquished his seat on the
commission when he recently resigned
the presidency of the National league.
Mr.. Johnson and August Hermann,
president of the Cincinnati Nationals,
are the present members.
The conference between Messrs. Taft
| Hampstead and Frazee was held in this
city today and Mr.. Taft took the offer
under consideration without comment
His reply is not expected for several
| days.
The proposition was considered in a
general way, with the details to be
worked out if Mr.. Taft accepts, as the
two club presidents appear to be hope
full he will. No salary was mentioned
Meets Hearty Approval
Neither Frazee nor Hampstead would
state what other American or National
! league club owners had been canvassed
in the matter, but intimated that the
proposition had met with hearty sup
port among a majority of the eastern
magnates who had been approached.
After todays conference they made
public a statement in which they sale
that "the man to fill this position a.
the head of Americas national game
Sn0uId De a Dig American 1Sure Wht
had the esteem and respect of the
American public" asserting that base
ball at the present time bids fair tt

Mr.. Taft, having always been a grea
lover of baseball, would be the idea
American at the head of Americas ma
tional game, said the statement, ant
adds:
Our further idea, after discussing
the matter with the different club own
ers, was that with one man as the su
preme head of baseball, it would plac

pearing before him in the capacity G

DON TALK AS THEY

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF
OCCUPATION, Nov. 23.-(By the AS
sociated Press)-General Pershing's
forces in Luxembourg and all along the
river Moselle, from the points of juno
ton with the French on their right and
left, looked over into Germany today.
The Germans are somewhat slower
in some places in evacuating their ter
ritory than had been expected, but not
enough to give rise to the belief that
they do not intend to observe the terms
of the armistice.
Along the Moselle tagging German
soldiers washed their clothing today on
their side of the river. The Americans
on the opposite bank did likewise.
There was little conversing across the
river, owing to the strict American or
der against determination.
The weather is cold and clear The
Americans have bought guide books Of
Luxemburg and are enjoying the sight
seeing in the Moselle valley.

of Luxembourg early today changed

OIL COMPANY SAID
TO Be FRAUDULENT
Republican A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK, Nov. ga conspiracy
to use the mails to defraud investors of
millions of dollars through the sale of
stock of the Tuxpam Star Oil corpora
ton is alleged by the government, in a
complaint on which Louis Roumang-
nae, head of the company; John J. Bry-
ant, a director, and Henry Kalb, a bro
ker, were arraigned before a United
States commissioner today after their
arrest here.
Federal attorneys asserted that 20,-
900. 900 shares of Tuxpam stock already
had been disposed of at from so cents
to $195 a share. The sales were made,
according to the governments COM
plant, on the representations that the
corporation owned oil gushers in Mex
leo. The oil wells described in the
company's sales literature are not
owned by the corporation, United States
District Attorney Axman said. The
corporations offices are in New York.
Charles NJ. Dellale, at one time treas
urer and chairman Of the finance COM
mittee of the TuXpam corporation, was
arrested late this afternoon on a
charge of participating in the sale of
fraudulent stock. His bond was fixed
at $4,000 and he was released in the
custody of his counsel until Monday
morning.
The Tuxpam corporation, according
to information secured by the govern
ment, was organized under the laws of
Delaware with a capital stock of ST.
900, 900. This later was increased to
81, 900, 900, then to s5,000,000 and final
ly to $20,00O,000. The entire stock, it
was said. was disposed of to investors
in Philadelphia, Chicago and other
cities.
E. ]. Schablitz. chemical engineer,
who Investigated the property of the
company, is said to have told the au-
thorities that pictures of oil wells used
in the Tuxpam corporations literature
were those of wells owned by other oil
companies.
