Bergdoll in Germany.

1t is not surprising to learn that
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll. the Phila-
delphia draft dodger and fugitive from
military justice, is now in Germany.
When he made his first escape from
military duty it was thought that he
had gone overseas. Yet reflection
showed that that would be an unprob.
able objective for one who was seek.
ing to avoid military duty. He would
have been welcomed in Germany with
open arms and with bright new uni
form and gun. Now that the war
is over, however. Bergdoll naturally
finds in Germany consenial and safe
refuge. There is some question as to
how safe he actually is. II he wan.
ders into the zone of American occu-
patton he is subject to capture. but
If he keeps on the strictly German
side Of the line he may be able to resist
extradition. Would the German gov.
eminent surrender him if demands
were made? That is an interesting
question at this time. Bergdoll is I'M
der conviction as an evader Of the
draft for service against Germany.
The government at Berlin would, per-
haps, be greatly embarrassed in try
ing to justify a refusal to surrender
him If demands were made. There
should be and probably will be no re-
mission of effort to recapture this
young man. who 'has so impudently
defied the law and is such q shameful
example Of Stacking.

have elected to start with the rail
roads. They want to make govern
ment ownership and operation Of those
properties the entering wedge for theii
program. They showed their hands
last winter.
Mr.. Cummins led the opposition in
Congress. and led it with courage and
success. He insisted that the rail
roads should be returned to their own
ers. and upon terms which would in
sure their operation with profit during
the trying period Of the change.
His course required courage. and
he had it. 1t required continuance
and he had that. He stood to his guns
against much criticism and misrepre
sentation. put a new law on the books
and it is working very well. 1t was
for that performance he was so bit
terly opposed in this years campaign.

the pluralities cast in the democratic
states for Cox and Roosevelt. 30 that
to latest figures the margin
in eleven states assured for that ticket
was about soc, 900. whereas four years
ago it was about $4,000. Thus the
democratic Offset to the republican
plurality is reduced, while the plural
ity Of the winning ticket has been
enormously increased.
When the full figures are obtain
able interesting computations will be
possible on the basis Of percentages.
1t is now assured outside Of the actual
pluralities themselves that much
heavier ratio Of republican votes was
cast in the south this year than four
years ago. Just how far this was due
to the new acknowledgment Is now
of course. only a matter Of specula-
ton. 1t is more likely to be reflex
Of the general political condition which
prevailed so overwhelmingly in the
north and the west and created the
tidal wave Of anti democratic reaction.

Coal Shortage.

It is reported that over 1000 fam
lilies in the District have no coal and
have no immediate prospect Of getting
it. Unless large shipments Of anthra
cite are received here within three
weeks intense suffering will result
from this lack Of fuel in the domestic
bins.
Already furnace fires are needed
for comfort indoors. The fall of tenn,
perature Tuesday night made house.
heating almost a matter Of necessity.
Many a home has been inadequately
warmed during the past forty-eight
hours. This is now the 4th Of Novem-
Der and cold weather may be expected
at any time.
In most cases the lack Of coal is In
no degree the fault of the people. Act
ing upon warnings. almost all con-
sumers put In their orders early, many
Of them in the spring, but most Of
them in the summer. The dealers have
been filling these orders as promptly
as possible and presumably in the Or
der Of their filing. But the dealers
have not obtained the coal necessary
to complete the deliveries. They can
not get it.
Extraordinary efforts are now being
made to supply the District. The
local District coal committee is CO.
operating with the Interstate Com.
merce Commission, and it is hoped
that enough fuel will be shipped into
the District within few days to re-
(lieve the immediate needs. Conflict
ing reports have come regarding the
cause Of the shortage. 1t is stated on
one hand that there is not enough
coal at the mines. and again that there
are not enough cars to move it. OBJ
vieusly, there IL a nisadjustment in
production. or In transportation. or in
distribution. The probable fact Is that
there is both inadequate production
and unequal distribution.
OF course. Washington will not be
permitted to suffer acutely for lack
of fuel. Some way will be found to
bring coal here. There il enough
coal. however short the supply may
be-. to meet the urgent needs Of all the
people. Economies must be prac.
ticed. but. above all. the utmost dill
gence must be shown by those r..
sponsible for the distribution Of the
supply to insure against actusl' suffer
ing.

Six Million Marin.

Estimates Of the popular plurality
given to Harding and Coolidge on
Tuesday are rising as the returns from
the states become more complete.
There il now prospect that their mar.
gin over Cox and Roosevelt will be a
high al six millions. This phenomenal
result is due first to the fact that more
states have gone one way than at any
time In modern history with the q.
ception Of the year 1912, when, owing
to the republican division, Wilson car
ried all but nine states. Even then.
however, his plurality over Roosevelt
was only 2.1s0.194 and his vote was
about two and half millions less than
the combined votes Of all other candi.

What the Election Means.

What the Election Means.
In Tuesdays election the nation has
overwhelmingly reppdiated the Yer
sailles league of nations covenant. 1t
refuses to endure the unnecessary and
hnrtful sacrifices and the injurious
commitments exacted by that. pact.
Has the nation by Tuesdays vote
declared that 1t will not enter or re-
main in any peace-promoting league
or association of nations whatever?
Or that it will make no joint treaty
of peace of any kind to end the war
with Germany? Or that it will declare
a separate peace with Germany by ma
jority vote of Congress and will adopt
a foreign policy Of consistent aloofness
and isolation? 5..-
OF course not. The tremendous ALL
Inclusive volume Of Harding support
renders it impossible to interpret. Off
hand what that support means.
Take the question Of league or as
ISOLATION, Of nations. for instance. The
Immense Harding vote against the
Versailles pact combines and agsre.
gates on the single point Of opposition
to the Versailles covenant several
powerful factors that radically dis
agree in respect to a substitute. II any,
for the rejected pact. 1t combines
those who think with Borah and
Hiram johnson. and those who think
with Root, and those who think with
Lodge and those who think with Taft.
These four viewpoints differ radically.
Who can say ,offhand in what pro-
portions the Harding vote is made up
of followers in this matter Of Borah-
johnson. of Root. of Lodge and Of
Taft? Who can say what combination
Of these four diverse views will prove
to be the controlling combination. in
the new administration?
70 answer this question prophetical.
~ the opinions and tendencies of the
new Senate, the new House and the
new President must all be studied and
analysed. And q. clean-cut. positive
answer must awzit the actual confer
ences and decisions Of the new gov
eminent after next 18th of March.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Woman Vote.
We used to think Of girls as rather

Intent on Fashions faAcies and on

The various cosmetics that they placed
upon their features
Concealed their. true expressions.
So we couldn't understand
What they would do when called to
face a serious situation
Where controversies { ragged and
speeches rose from many threats.
There is one thing ~ cen my with
out the slightest hesitation,
It is proved beyond all question:
When 4 Woman Votes, she
VOTES.
Some people thought the discipline Of
mind would be SO drastic
That it could never harmonic with
gentleness and grace;
They said that she should sveetly
smile and trip the light fantastic,
And not go grimly marching to the
nearest voting place.
And yet Emergency that calls for cour-
/ age and invention
Finds Her In earnest action while
mere man is making notes
OF phrases he may use in some rhe-
torical convention.
A woman doesn't talk 50 much; but
When She Votes, She VOTES!
