Director-General McAdoo'g Order Af fects 2,500 Station Asents Not In eluded In Increase Granted Telegraphers. Washington, Nov. " 23. Railroad agents today were granted by Director-General McAdoo a general wage increase of 525 per month above the rate prevailing last January first, with a minimum of $95 -per month. Eight hours is to be considered a day's work with pro rata pay for two hours over time and time and a half for service above 10 hours. The order affects about 2,500 station agents who are not telegraphers and who, consequently were not covered by the recent wage increase for telegra phers. The wage advance docs not apply .to men paid ?30 or less a month for special services requiring xonly a por tion of their time. Exceptions also are made for a few agents who receiv ed $50 or less a month, for whom a straight advance of $25. is granted, without application ef the $95 mini mum. The wage increase order was the first official document signed by Mr. McAdoo today after announcement of his resignation on the ground of in adequate pay for cabinet officers. BASEBALL JOB OFFERED EX-PRESIDENT TAFT Has Been Tendered Position of Sole Member of National Commis sion Is Considering It. New York, Nov. 23. Former Presi dent Taft has been offered the posi tion of sole member of the national commission af the National . and Ameri can leagues, according to announce ment here tonight, by H. N. Hempstead,' president of the American Nationals, and Harry Frazee, president of the Boston Americans. 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 the two league presidents and a third mem ber. 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 presidents are said to have approved the offer and this would give the originators of the idea sufficient votes to carry the proposal. The conference between Messrs. Taft, Hempstead and Frazee was held in this city and Mr. Taft took the offer under consideration without comment. 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 ful he wil. -No salary was mentioned. After"today's conference they made public a statement in which they said "the man to fill this position at the head of America's national game should be a big Amearican figure who had the esteem and respect of the American re public." The statement added: "Our further idea, after discussing the matter with the different club owners, was that with one man as the supreme head of baseball, it would place the presidents of the National and American leagues in the position of appearing before him in the capacity of counsel representing their respective organizations."' EIGHT DIVISIONS SOON TO BE ON WAY HOME (Continued from Page One.) so that adequate receptions could be planned. Secretary . BaKer supplemented Gen eral March's outline of demobilization plans later by stating that General Pershing was reducing his army to a strength of 30 divisions and would further reduce it as conditions justify. At an average strength of 40,000 men to a division which would cover all necessary auxiliary forces this would mean that General Pershing would re tain 1,200,000 in France from which the actual army of occupation and its reserves would be organized to pro vide against "any possible emergency. General March showed that virtually all of the supplemental army corps and army troops are to be withdrawn. He said he already had authorized General- Pershing to send back railway artillery, army artillery, gas troops arjd tank corps units in addition to the divisional organizations. Some of the divisions designed by General Persh ing are re-placement units. The aero-squadrons to return are numbers 32, 140, 156, 167, 177, 187-8. 210-11. . 216, 219-20, 255-56, 228 234, 254, 256, 259-60-61-62-63, 265, 267-68, 282, 306 to 310 inclusive, 314 to 321 in clusive. 325, 329 to 338 inclusive, 340, 349, 356, 361, 371, 377-78, 470 to 473 inclusive, ' 475 to 479 inclusive, 812, 823-24, 831 to 34 inclusive, 836 to 839 inclusive, 852, 868, 906 and 1107. The construction companies are numbers' S to 19 inclusive with the ex ception of company No. 11 and three other" special units. and schools, and not a student con tracted the disease. .. , President C. B. Brown is justly pleased with the increasing' prosperity of the institution that- enjoys the good .fortune of his guiding hand. The reading of the appointments as early as Sunday night ,will mark a new departure for this conference. Not at any time since the organization of the conference 29 years ago has the hour of adjurnhrent been reached be fore , sometime Monday. The confer ence has, not ceased to - talk of the fine "report made by Frank Siler, the presiding elder of the Winston dis trict: Every charge this year in that district " paid the entire assement on each and every-pastoral charge. Some other church or , individual did not pay it, but the . churches of each par ticular charge met in full every obli gation. , The sudden illness of Rev.7 Z. E. Barnhart, the conference host, has rb.rought sorrow . to every member of the conference. His ability tp meet every demand upon him through the exacting days just past made the en tire co inference a debtor to this, fine and gracious young minister wuuw friends ere numbered by his acquain tances. It is good news from his home that the doctor expects , him to be out GERMANY'S CRY OF FAMINE A BLUFF? May Be Scheme to Have Armis tice Terms Modified. Neutral Correspondent Has - Letter From Kiel Which Says We Are Better Off For Food This Year Than in 1917. London, Nov. 23. (British Wireless Service.) A neutral correspondent writes to the Morning Post that he has received a letter from Kiel, in which this occurs: "We are better off for food this year than in 1917. There is plenty of grain and ' potatoes, so there will be no shortage." The Post comments as follows: "This only confirms the belief held in authoritative quarters here that the conditions of scarcity advertised in Germany's, daily whine about the armistice conditions do not in fact exist. Out of their own mouths or those of their rulers and. newspapers before the collapse, the Germans can be shown to have confessed to suffi cient supplies to carry them through the winter. With their harvest just gathered, there can not be that men ace of immediate shortage which- is now represented in appeals to the al lies and neutrals." "PEACE PERSONNEL STILL INCOMPLETE President .Expected to Within Two Weeks. Sail Attention Being Given To Selection of "Secretaries and Attaches and To" the Collection Of Historical and Legal Data. , OLD GERMAN LEGISLATIVE BODY NOT YET DISSOLVED Berlin, Thursday, Nov. 21. Via Co penhagen, Friday, Nov. 22. (By the Associated Press.) The bundesrath has not yet been' dissolved, and the government has instructed it to pro ceed with its routine administrative duties in the same manner that the other departments of the former gov ernment are now doing." Negotiations are going on between the cabinet and the soldiers' and workmen's council for the purpose of establishing the respective jurisdic tion of those bodies. The absence of sharply defined limits of authority has resulted in frequent collisions. The understanding now being arrived at will also definitely establish the com petency of the various sub-committees. . The official flag of the German de mocracy has not been selected. The German navy is flying the war flag to which a red pennant has been attach ed. It is, a foregone conclusion that the German people will oppose the red flag as the permanent ensign, . aside from the reason that it is the banner of the international party. Washington, Nov. 23. With Presi dent Wilson expected to sail for France within less than two weeks, so far as can be gathered, the person nel of the American commission which, is to represent this country at the peace conference is not complete, even as to its principals. This is believed to be the explanation of the delay in making, public announcement of the names of the commissioners which the i recent white house statement said would be made "presently." Meanwhile attention is being given to the selection of the secretaries and attaches of the American mission, and to the collection of the large quantity of historical and legal datas, which will be required. The nearest parallel to the approaching conference prob ably is to be found in the famous con ference of Vienna of 1814 which gath ered to re-arrange the map of Europe following" Napoleon's downfall. Ac cordingly, earnest study is being- given to the preliminaries leading up to that conference aiid to its detailed proceed ings as far" as these have been pre served. The two Hague conferences of 1897 and 1907 also ' developed methods of procedure, and a wealth of subjects regarding the ideal relationship of the community of states that would be of assistance in arranging the program of proceedings at Versailles. For this special guidance, the American com missioners will have at hand a vast amount of information regarding the smaller nationalities of Europe, the arbitrary divisions which have been made on that continent in defiance of racial ties and natural affiliations for purely political reasons, and the lat est conceptions of the present desires of the oppressed races, all represent ing, the results of close study by some of America's most eminent university men, directed by Colonel House. The American commissioners in ad dition will have the benefit of exceed ingly detailed an'd definite instruc tions on every conceivable point. These instructions ate- believed to be in preparation now by state depart ment officials. HUNDRED THOUSAND TROOPS PASSING FRANKFORT DAILY Amsterdam, Nov. 23. The Tageblat of Berlin, a copy of which has been received here, publishes advices from Frankfort to the effect that one hun dred thousand German soldiers, main ly from lines of communication, are passing through Frankfort daily. The advices say further that trains are running regularly, accidents have been reduced to a minimum, the pro visioning system is better than under the old regime and supplies are assur ed for weeks ahead; the excitement at tending the revolution has been quell ed and there is not the slightest lack of discipline. STRANGE STATE OF AFFAIRS ON ONE OF THE GERMAN SHIPS London, Nov. 23. During the exami nation of the German ships which sur rendered Thursday, a strange state of affairs was found to prevail on .the battleship Kaiser. All the brass and copper fittings had been removed. On ly five German officers remained aboard and discipline was at a low ebb. Sailors, wearing the white arm let of the soldiers' and sailors' coun cil, were exercising authority among the crew. ' The interior of the vessel, no longer kept in a state of strict cleanliness, was odorous and stuffy. The por traits of the former emperor in the captain's cabin and the wardroom re mained unchanged. Saluting had be come a perfunctory act between the crew and officers and the crew l'oung ed about in the presence of their of ficers. There was shown, however, an instant readiness to comply with the armistice terms, and no hesitancy was displayed in opening everything aboard to the closest inspection. PLANES COLLIDE, LOCKED TOGETHER, LAND SAFELY Mount demons, Mich., Nov. 23. While flying at a height of 3,800 feet over Selfridge field today, two air planes collided and "became locked to gether. The machines went into a tail spin but Cadet Braddus Chewn ing, of Roanoke, Va., the pilot of the larger and more powerful plane gain ed control of his machine and with the two still clinging together maneuver ed them in such a way as to break the shock of the landing. The four avia tors received only minor injuries. The names of the other have not been announced. FIGURES ON WAR WORK FUND TO BE PUBLISHED TUESDAY 1b day s. New York, Nov. 23. Final figures showing the nation's contribution to the United War Work Campaign for $170,500,000 .will be announced Tues day, according to' a statement here to night by John R. Mott, director gen eral, who intimated that the goal would be reached. "All the information we have had in the last 48 hours has been encour aging," Mr. Mott said. : Big; Balloon Stranded. Norfolk, Va., Nov. 23. A large go ernment - balloon from Washington, commanded, by Lieutenant Simpson, of the army, stranded at dusk tonight on the eastern shore of Virginia near Mears station, 45 miles from Cape Charles. Four other army officers were passengers in the dirigible, which left Washington at 1 p. m. Poles Disarm Germans. Amsterdam, Nov. 23. All the Ger man soldiers in Poland have been dis- armed and sent to Germany, according to a Berlin dispatch to the Rhenish Westphalian Gazette of Essen. General Hans Von Beseler, German governor general of the occupied territory in Russia, fled during the night, and the civil governor, Herr Steinmeister, has been deported. URGES THAT RUSSIA BE RECOGNIZED AT CONFERENCE Washington, ' 'Nov. 23. Recognition of Russia at thef world peace confer ence was urged by Prince Lvoff, first prime minister of Russia, after the overthrow of the Czar, in a statement today to the American people. Prince Lvoff expressed his conviction that any programme of re-construction which does not provide for the complete de struction of bolshevism in Russia will leave in the world thgerm of another" great war. The termination of the war has rais ed the question of the peace confer ence, said Prlnces Lvoff. "I think a sense of duty and justice dictates to the allies the necessity of organizing in Versailles the , defense of Russian interests. This work can be done by Russians only. The country as a whole is unable at present to send to the conference ' its -plenipotentiaries. But when our friend is ill, we act for him. "To designate the persons and con sider the form of their part at the con ference is a matter of friendly inter est to the allies." Of the present botsheviki of Russia, Prince Lvoff said: ., "The bolsheviki are indulging in a perpetual revolution. Their aim is un iversal social eruption. They are in terested in Russia chiefly as a hearth where they may keep up by. all means the world's conflagration. "I deem the intervention of the al lies is dictated not only by pure com passion for the victims of Russian bol shevism but by political foresight as well." AMERICANS IN RUSSIA MEET STIFF, OPPOSITION Shortness of Daylight and Heavy Fogs Facilitate Guerilla Warfare ot The Bolsheviki. The king of Spain possesses an odd collection- of relics with attempts on his life. :A reminder, of the very first Attempt v on his life Is the teat of a feeding-bottle, with which an attempt was made to poison him when he was only eight months Old.-" ' -( Archangel, Nov. 23. (By the As sociated Press.) The American and entente troops have encountered strong opposition both on the Vologa Archangel railway and on the Dvina river. Owing to the swampy condir tion of the Terrain, it has been neces sary to confine operations to the water way and the railway. As the upper part of the river is deeper than at its mouth, the bolshevik craft, equipped with large guns, have been better able to maneuver than the entente ships and have prevente dthe occupation of Kotlas by the entente. A plan is under military circles for the creation of a voluntary artny for Russian relief should the allies, agree upon thes policy of feeding Russia. Daylight' in Arcnartgel now is of onyy four hours duratibn and this fact, with the - fogs, facilitates the ' guerilla warfare of the bolsheviki. It is be lieved that evacuation of the Archan gel district hy the allies would prob ably result in the murder of the en tire population friendly to the entente by the bolsheviki, just as the elements antagonistic othe bolsheviki were slaughtered in the Volga towns eva- cuated by .the ' Czechs. ' A similar slaughter occurred at Vologda where entente supporters:, who rallied about the embassies were persecuted mer cilessly. ' , MAN AND.

These ideals have done wonders for America since wei entered the war. They have welded our people together; wiped out class distinction; given life a loftier meaning. America must maintain her quality standards in the eyes of the world, and drive home and abroad the economy; of buying the best. Right now the worthiest and the best is of utmost importance. Right now the clothes buyers of America should put behind them the temptation of seeming cheapness. In the present age of high costs and material shortage, it is plainer than ever that true economy lies :i buy ing only quality goods. THE HOUSE OF KUPPENHEIMER for three generations has held to its belief in quality. It is one of the very foremost clothing concerns in the world. It has an organization and buying power surpassed by none. It places itself in the service of all who believe that this is the time to hold high the banner of quality.
