BERGDOLL's ESCAPE,

The escape of Grover Bcrgdoll, wealthy draft evader, from two non commissioned officers who were sup posed to be guarding him is case that ought to be thoroughly investi- gated. Bersdoll, principally because of his wealth, remained stacker while the rest of the youth of the country went to war. Finally Berg doll was caught and sentenced. He was allowed to visit his home in the company of two sergeants who were his guards.
 These two men sat in the living room while Bergdoll clamly walked out to his waiting auto and sped away. The whole proceedings is one that is irregular. Why soldier pris- oner should be allowed the liberties given Bergdoll is hard to understand Why, after being given these liber- ties, he was given such an opportun- ity to escape, also is a puzzler.
 It wasn't the rule during the war to allow prisoner to visit his home. A soldier who had never done his bit in the guard house often found it difficult to get permission to visit home, even though his record was clean and there was some excuse for his visit.
 It seems that certain officers or officials, however, were more lenient regarding Bergdoll.

A Letter
 to the Public

To the People of Jefferson County: The Pine Bluff Rotary club with it's motto of service and desire to help has seen the necessity of the Boy Scout movement and has determined to give the boy chance. Their work is to supplement the work of the church and Sunday school, it's pur- pose is to make better boys to the end that they may not go astray and that they may make better men. The move ment in all of it's features is to build up character and fix in the hearts of the boys fixed principles of right con- duct so that these principles become part of his very nature. Such as kindness, moral courage, loyalty and patriotism, courage and devotion. It is intended and will develope the mo- blest qualities in him and instead of loafer and given to vicious habits of thought and action he will have pure heart and clean body and soul.
 These things cannot be accomplish ed without trained man whose fhole duty will be to look after the boys and bring into their lives influences for good Then they must have the equipment and three-year program in necessary to carry on the work. The Rotary club has had this matter be- fore it for a long time and have been working out the details from every angle and their attitude is absolutely unselfish and solely for the good of these lives they are striving to make better and more useful. There will be several hundred boys brought un- der the influence of the very best training.
 So we ask you to aid us in this great work the Rotary club has un- dertaken.

King Alexander
 of Greece Said
 to Have Married

Paris, May 2A.-King Alexander of Greece is reported here to have been married morganatically to Mademois- selle Manos, daughter of a former aide de camp to his father, King Constantine The Greek legation in Paris has refused to confirm or de- ny this report.
 King Alexander's marriage is said to have been the culmination of Q boyhood friendship and occurred before he was in direct line to the throne and while his chances for sue ceeding his father appeared most re- mote.
 The king and his wife are living at the same hotels here and yesterday went to i. Versailles, where they lunched together and visited the gardens.
 Reports here impute the kings vis7 it to Paris to al desire on the part of Premier Venizelos of Greece, for. a separation of the king on his re- ported Margarine so that he may mar rv princess of royal blood. The king is said to have left Athens quite in accord with his premier's point of view, but is declared to have undergone change of mind since his arrival here.

FEDERAL LYNCHING LAW.

The United States already is suffer- ing too much from federal legsla- tion. Federal regulation of matters of concern only to the state in which they occur is not making, for more rigid law enforcement or allaying the general spirit of unrest
 The latest measure due to come be- . fore the house is federal law de- signed to prevent lynching. It would make lynching a federal offense and would provide trial by the federal government for those apprehended, and a fine of $1O,OOO to be assessed against each county where lynching occurs.
 It is to be hoped that the national congress will not pass any such meas urc.
 In the south where most of the lynchings have occurred and against which the bill is aimed, there is a strong sentiment against lyching. Lawless eXcutions are not in good re- pute with the people of the southern states. They have been numerous in the past and others are bound to come in the future. But the number of such cases is rapidly decreasing. The southern states are making progress in solving problem that is their own. A federal lynching law, administered by federal officers, would do no par ticular good It might hamper the good work which the south is carry ing on.
