Mrs. Bergdoll Is Held

Philadelphia. July Given n
hearing yesterday before United
States Commissioner Long on a
charge of aiding her son, Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, "the man with
out a country" to desert from the
United States Army by evading draft
service, Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoll in
terested herself in making paper
salt cellars. The widow OF the
wealthy brewer, credited with hav-
ing controlled in his day the entire
liquor business of Philadelphia, ap-
parentl was not impressed with the
proceedings.
Seemingly il was unnecessary for
her to be interested personally, as
everything went along in such fash
ion that she could not take much OBJ
lection to il. She was held in s10,-
600 bail for a further hearing.

was asking himself
And 1t was something of the same
sort of quander that baffled the Tele-
graph reporter who called to ask
Miss Wynn about her eagerness to
dig potatoes in the mornings of the
days that she fills out in afternoon
and evening with song.
Our Share
"One simply couldn't spend three
years in England and France as L
have done" Miss Wynn explained,
without appreciating that every
moment of everybody's time back
here in good old America must be
spent in the prosecution of this war.
We can do so much more than we
are doing, and there is so much
need of everything being done. that
the message simply must be brought
to all good American women.
