' DUCHESS PLEASED AT YANKS' ARRIVAL Luxemburg Sovereign, With Pershing at Her Side, z Welcomes Americans' Entry to Capital. Luxemburg, Nov. 22. (By the Associated Press.) With General Pershing, the Amen can commander-in-chief, at her side, the youthful duchess of Luxemburg from the bal cony of the palace watched American troops enter the capital yesterday. Twenty-four hours earlier the grand duchess had seen the long columns of gray-clad German sol diers depart for their own country after the occupation of her duchy for more than four years. The American army of occupation under General Dickman control every road, city and village in Lux emburg. It was impossible to doubt the sincerity of the welcome given by the residents of Luxemburg. The grand duchess and the members of her cabinet expressed gratification1 that Americans had come to take the place of those whom they had been forced to tolerate for so many years. Popular approval was ex pressed in a great demonstration when the people sighted General Pershing and again when the dusty column of American soldiers moved through the streets. Pershing Precedes Troops General Pershing, in a proclama tion, assured the public that the American army would remain only so long as was necessary and while it was in Luxemburg would con duct itself in conformity with the civil law. General Pershing and his staff drove into the capital in automo biles ahead of his troops. The general was greeted by thousands of cheering Luxemburgers ' and with the blowing of sirens and the ring ing of church and, school bells. The Eighteenth infantry of the First division were the first Ameri can troops to enter the city. The Americans were greeted by thousands of civilians, who lined all the streets through which the troops marched. School children tossed flowers in their pathway, and each soldier was presented with a bouquet of chrysanthemums. General Parker s visit to Premier Emil Renter and his presentation to the members of the cabinet brought the assurance that the gov ernment was in thorough accord with the Americans. It was ar ranged' that the ministers of state and the municipal authorities should ' continue their functions, the Americans' part in the affairs being no more than to make Luxem burg a link in the lines of com munication and to stand prepared to maintain order. Watches Huns Departure. When the Germans left the city of Luxemburg, General Parker stood on an embankment watching them. A German general mounted on a big white horse, far below but not! many blocks distant, viewed the same movement. The troops filed past the German commander rap idly, the men apparently being in the best of humor. A band was playing and the scene resemble 1 peace time maneuvers, rather than the movements of war. The dis cipline of the men was not broken enough to interfere with the keep ing up of the military march, but it was evident the spirit of the Ger mans was far from that which makes for war. Norman Hall Is Back . ; from Hun Prison Camps Paris, Nov. 22. Among the American prisoners who reached Paris yesterday by way of Switzer land from German prison camps were Capt. Tames Norman Hall of Colfax, la.; Lt, Robert J. Browning of Minneapolis; Charles K. Codman of Boston, and Henry C. Lewis of Philadelphia. All were attached to the American aviation service.

Forces of America Begin Movement Toward Home Headquarters of the American First Army, Nov. 22.

With the coming winter the French need almost the entire capacity of their railroads to distribute fuel, food and other supplies throughout the country. This will delay the transportation of Americans. ALLEGED PLOT BARED BY MEANS OF DICTAPHONE Former California Justice, Prosecutor and Others Named in Charges of Crookedness. San Francisco, Nov. 22.

RUSSIANS URGED BY KOLCHAK TO UNITE Dictator Assures People They Can Choose Any Form of Government After Con- quest of Bolshevism. By Associated Press. Vladivostok, Nov. 22. The first proclamation of Ad miral Alexander Kolchak as dictator and commander of the all-Russian army and fleet is addressed to the peo ple of Russia. It is dated at Omak, November 19, and de clares the aims of the dictatorship. These aims are: "The creation of a fit army, the conquest of bolshevism, the or ganization of right and order, so that the people can select the form of government they desire without hindrance, and be able to achieve their ideas of liberty." Appeals for Harmony. The proclamation appeals for United action in the struggle against bolshevism, and continues: "The all-Russian government has gone to pieces. Having decided to bear the burden of the cross, I de clare I will not follow the road of reaction or the road of a party struggle, which would lead to ob livion." Lieutenant-general Horyath has issued an appeal to the people to re main quiet during the transition period, assuring them that a single firm authority will bring a return of the former glory of our ruined and exhausted country."

The report from Copenhagen that a new g6vern ment has been organized at Ekater inodar is accepted by officials here as indicating that this important center in southern Russia has been chosen as the seat of the new gov ernment of the Cossacks under Gen eral Denikine, who recently over threw the Ukrainian bolshevik gov ernment. While the new movement is styled all-Russian, the belief here is that for the present, at least, it is clearly local, extending its authority only over the Ukraine and the territory controlled by the Don Cossacks. It is regarded as certain, however, that the new regime will endeavor to form a union with the government at Omsk, under which Siberia and northern Russia is governed. This new development in the Uk raine is accepted here as indicating that the regeneration of Russia is progressing more rapidly than had been believed possible a few weeks ago. .

Near Beer Comes Under Ban Proposed by Dry Leaders Columbus, O., Nov. 22. The drastic features of a federal prohi bition enforcement law whicR dry leaders will insist on congress enacting in case the federal prohibi tion amendment is ratified by the states was outlined today by Wayne B. Wheeler, national counsel for the Anti-Saloon league, to state anti saloon league supporters and dry workers at the conclusion of the world-wide prohibition conference here. The proposed bill provides for a federal prohibition law enforcement commission under the collector of internal revenue with special officers scattered throughout the nation. Near beer will cdme under the ban if the propesed law is enacted. A definition of alcoholic liquors, the sale and manufacture of which will be prohibited, is to mean distilled, malt, vinous, spirituous and alcohol ic liquors. Near beer, it is said, will be caught, Jboth under the "malt and alcoholic" stipulations. No person will be permitted to have liquor in his possession, unless it has been acquired legally, and to be acquired legally, it must be ob tained under a special permit issued by the federal enforcement officers or by state enforcement officers. Even alcohol used for sacramental and medicinal purposes must be ob tained with permits, the manufac turer, seller and buyer being on the same plane. The fine arts must obey the same rules as to permits and any of the alcohol used in them must not be potable. The law also is to contain an in junction feature to deal with "Speak-Easies." Under this pro vision the operator of a "Speak Easy" once convicted, and injunc tion obtained against his further operation, would be liable to im prisonment for contempt. Mf. Wheeler said he expected enough states to ratify the federal amendment by next JMarch to make it effective and that the proposed enforcement bill will be offered in congress just as soon as the amend ment becomes operative.

"The Berlin government," the of ficial added, according to the Daily Mail, "has riot made any communi cation to the allies or the United States notifying us of his abdication. We think it almost ceftain that if the abdication occurred notification would have been sent at least to the United State's. , "No abdication document bearing the kaiser's signature is in existence as far as the outside world knows nothing but the perfunctory state ment of Prince Maximilian, in which he used the words 'thron verzicht,' meaning renunciation of the throne and not the word 'abdankung,' mean ing abdication.
