BERGDOLL TO
Hughes and Weeks Are Consider
ing Means of Forcing Return
of Rich . Draft Dodger and Pro-
- curing. Release' of 2 Soldiers.
By A. Ij. Bradford
Washington. March 24. (U. P.)
Secretary, of War Weeks ? today
sent; to Secretary . pf State Hughes
all papers In - the case of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll with a request
that Weeks be advised what further
action to take, i . , . v j - --.
Weeks asked ' that' the state , depart
ment consider the situation from' afi
-International 'standpoint and tell him
what should be done to bring about the
surrender of Bergdoll and the release
from a German prison of two Americans
who recently attempted to capture the
millionaire draft dodger.
" SECRETARIES TO COSFEB r
Secretary Hughes - and Secretary
Weeks will hold several conferences in
the next few days on steps to make ef
ectual the demand of the United States
. that Germany aurrender Bergdoll and
release the men imprisoned in Germany
for trying to capture htm.
It was learned from high officials to
day that the war department will leave
"no stone .unturned" to get 3ergdoll.
It waa pointed out that a campaign to
catch more than 100.000 draft evaders is
- just being launched and that authori
ties cannot afford -to let the defiance of
a rich man go unchallenged while ap
prehending- those of less means. .
The belief prevailed that Germany
finally will surrender Bergdoll. but that
the Berlin government is hesitating to
' take such action because of the popular
- outcry that would follow.
REPORT IS AWAITED
War department officials today were
awaiting a complete report on the Berg
doll case and the attempt to capture
mm. rrom uenerai Henry T. Alien, com-
:.- mandcr of the American army of occu
. i nation.
This report may give some new-facts
about the attempt of Carl Neuf and
. Frank Zimmer to take the draft evader.
Another angle is that Great Britain
- may be asked to take steps to secure
the 'apprehension and return of Berg
; doll. . . . -r. . -'- -
Secretary of War Weeks stated today
that Bergdoll admits violating a British
i passport in fleeing from Canada to Ger
'? many, ant inVmated that this nation
may eeek to have Great Britain-. extra
f dite Bergdoll from Germany. .
If Bergdoll were taken to Great
Britain on charges of violating a pass
. port, the United States might then make
a .request for his extradition to the
United States on charges of evading
the draft law. It was stated that at the
present time with the United States at
war this nation cannot make a request
for the extradition of Bergdoll, but
- Great Britain being at peace with Ger
many, may do so. - -'.

expected since late yesterday - afternoon
when he lapsed into a state of coma, from
which he did not rally up to the time of

The death of the cardinal was due to
ereneral breakdown, which had been
superinduced by a heavy cold and which
first became pronounced while tne prei
ate was . delivering a sermon at Havre
De Grace, Md, on December 12. last.
Following tbe attack Cardinal Gibbons
went to-the home of Robert T. Shriver,
a lifelong friend, at Union Mills. Mfl,
for a rest ana an attempt at recupera
tion. His condition, despite the best
medical and- personal attention, grew
worse, and at the beginning of the new
year the life of the cardinal was des
paired of .by his close associates ana his
legion of friends.
He was brought back to his own home

he showed several months ago.
Because of " the cardinal's extreme
frailty and his advanced age, all prepa

Larry McLean played with . the Port

late in the 1906 campaign he fas sold
to the Cleveland Americana
In the opinion f Judge W. W. Mc

McLean was the greatest catcher ever
seen in the West. - He was a big. mus
cular fellow, and he took a great deal
of pride in his athletic ability. ; While
with the Portland team he posed as a

was :none who cared to "tangle" with
him.--.. In 1906',theBeaver made 'such
a runaway time of it in the pennant

to the, big leagues before the season was
completed,---1. '-- -
;- -Cleveland had jost;.tompleted ; a mag

"His Views-Purely Political"
. By Norman Hapgood

Washington. March 24.- There has
been no determination whatever by
the present administration, about its
Russian policy. Mr. r Hoover's pro
nouneemenf represents nothing more
than .his own s political views. The
latest violent screed by the new am
bassador -to London is an equally
personal political opinion.
Mr. Hughes is attracting a great' deal
of attention by the uncommon thorough
ness with which he goes into questions
before reaching , any decision and the
president, while having no special views
on Russia, is in favor of trade and is not
likely to let the matter be disposed of on
the simple political grounds that have
been prevailing.
AWAITS , H CO HE S POIJCT
I do not wish to be hasty and we must
wait until Mr. Hughes lays down hla
policy. He has already clearly. Indicated
that he realized the vast importance of
the British treaty and particularly of
that clause In tt which has already re
sulted In British consuls being in Mos
cow prepared for alt possible business
dealings. - While the president has main
tained silence, it is not a rash, conjec
ture that Mr. Hoover's statement was a
disappointment to him.
" Mr-Hoover called his views economic,
but in ordinary, language they would be
called poltticaC They are the same ones
that he has bees riving out ever since
the Bolsheviks were heard of.

The statement that production Is im

cal statement.- It cannot be changed ty

any business dona with Hungary, for ex
ample, because It was re-tlonary, I
might put out a general political remark
that production was Impossible in a re
actionary nation, and call that state
ment economic. -
But my words would not make It -
nomic It would remairf political. Thm
reasons given by Mr, Hoover and Mr.
Harvey are the same as those given in
the three years that that trend ef
thought has been fn the ascendant, ex

have now gone tnto the backrround
and a frank attack on the principles of
communism has taken their place.

" It -is more wholesome to have th
matter thus simplified. If we are gnirz
