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. - -'.

By Norman Hapgood -VK4itsrUI Corieapondant t'nIteTMl Barriea- 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.
