WILL CONTINUE FIGHT
FOR SCIENTIST POWER
Church Directors Will Seek Final
Decision in Case Against Pub
fishing Trustees,

BOSTON, March s (by the Associat-
ed Press) The trustees Of the Chris
tian Science Publishing Society may
not be controlled by the directors of
the mother church, the First Church
OF Christ. Scientist in the opinion OF
Judge Frederic Dodge. whose finding
as master in the Christian Science
suits was filed with the supreme judi
Cial court of the state today. The mas
ter also finds that the directors had no
legal right to remove John Y. tie
more from their own board, or Lamont
Rowlands from the board Of trustees.
The original draft of the masters $
findings was prepared two months
ago and since then counsel for the
directors have sought to reopen the
case. so far as it affected Dittemore.
and also to have the findings amended
These requests were refused.
The directors already have indicat-
ed that they proposed to continue
the fight before the full bench Of the
state supreme court.
AS soon as the masters report was
filed the board of directors. with the ex-
ception of pittemore, issued a statement
declaring that the fight was not ended.
They said in part:
"In the suit brought by the trustees
of the Christian Science publishing So
ciety against the directors of the mother
CHuTcH tIle master now mas nled re-
port of his findings and conclusions.
Much of the report is unfavorable. but
it is not final decision; it is subject
to review by the supreme judicial court
of Massachusetts, first by single JUS
tice thereof and later by the full court
Of five justices. At least some months
are likely to clapse before their final
decision can be obtained Mrs.
Eddys work as the discovercr. founder

needs the clear understanding and ac-
tive cooperation Of Christian Scientists.
THE discernment. steadfastness and
unity of Christian Scientists have been
tested before. So once moro we may
be assured by these words Of our be-
loved leader: Built on the rock, our

GREATER HOME RULE
FOR ALSACE-L0RRA|NE
Transformation From German to

| PARIS. March 6-Within the next
few weeks bill will probab bly, come
before the French chamber sanction
ing large amount of home rule for
| Alsa ce Lorraine. 1t is intended to
| make the transformation from Ger
| man to French institutions a grad
ual process, so that 1t will work harm
| to nobody. For example. the old
will be preserved at least tempo
rarily. Also. while the high commits
sioner installed from Paris will keep
his post for several years to come, he
will be forced to take advice on all
important question$ from an execu-
tive body composed of Alsace-Lor
rainers. Finally. it is hoped to intro
duce in a greater measure bilingual
instruction in the schools.
Such was the outline given me by
Able Wetterle. for sixteen years a
deputy in the German reichstag and
condemned to death for high treason
in the war. but now a member of the
French chamber.
What are your Impressions Of the
difference between the French and
German parliaments?" asked.
"Ah, that Is easy to answer" he re-
piled. I'm Berlin there is no parlia-
ment, or at least was none until 1918,
Had No Real Power.
'"The old reichstag was simply a de-
batting body and had no real power.
The imperial chancellor was respons-
IDLE to the emperor alone and often
told us that 1t made no difference
what we said or thought about him.
The reichstag leaders were rarely or
never chosen to fill positions in the
cabinet. As an example of this pow
erlessness, take the position of our
delegates from Alsace-Lorraine. From
the beginning they asitated for au-
tonomy like that of Bavaria or sax
ony. but they never obtained any
thing. Moreover, though every Cne
knew that our real aim was inGe-
pendence or annexation to France, no
one ever dared to talk about it in the
reichstag. II he had he would have
disappeared in some mysterious fash
ion. Opposed thereto you ask my

Despite the faults it may possess it
docs carry out the will Of the people,"
lin what questions are you par
ticularly interested, M. rAbbe:"
asked. ..
Reforms Are Needed.
First of all in what pertains to
Alsace-Lorraine." came the answer.
I'm general things are going very
well there. The great mass Of the
people are satisfied with the French
rule, but there are certain minor re-
forms which still ought to be intro
duced For instance, in my mind it
| is a fault to conduct all instruction in
! French Not only does this work hard
ship on students who speak no
French, but it also MEANS Just SO
much time lost for men who have al
ready taken degrees in German. In
fact, 1 have cause to know that the
measure has excited considerable ir-
ritation among the Intellectual

CHARGES AGAINST
>BERGDOLL STATED
Draft Evasion Prosecution
Met by Claim of Failure
to Give Proper Notice.

NEW YORK. March (by the AS
sociated Press).-Lieut. Col. Cresson.
trial judge advocate, in outlining the
I governments case against Grover
: cleveland Bergdoll, wealthy young
| Philadelphian. now being coUrt-mar-
tailed on Governors Island for evad-
( ing the draft. today declared that the
sole issue is whether the accused is
guilty of that most despicabie crime
i of deserving his country in time OF
war"
| The government will produce doc
umentary evidence. backed by testi-
| mony of individuals. to show that
Bergdoll not only failed to report for
military duty when ordered. and was
legally inducted iAto the Army. but
ran away with the>necessary intent
to desert. Col. Cresson stated.
In support of the contention that
Bergdoll intended to desert. he de-
clared. witnesses will testify that
Bergdoll registered under the name
of Carson at hotel in Hagerstown.
Md, and stayed there for an extended
length of time.
Defense Il Indicated.
Bersdolrs counsel clearly Indicated
the probable line of defense. Harry
| Weinberger of counsel for the accused
against Bersdoll on the governments
statement of it's program. he de-
clared Lieut.. Col. Cresson had shown
that there was no evidence to prove
that sufficient notice had been given
Bergdoll by local board for division
80. Philadelphia. to make him soldier.
Government failure to comply with
the draft regulations was charged con-
tinuously by Weinberger. Every step
of the prosecution was fought with
objection after objection put forward
on alleged failure of the government
to observe technical details of notifica-
.ions and recording. The court in
variably overruled these objections.
Registration Card shown.
Bergdolrs registration card was put
in evidence. although Weinberger re-
fused to admit the signature on it to
be Bergdoll's. The card showed the
defendant on June 5, 1917. to be single.
without dependents of any kind. and
making no claim for exemption from the
draft on the grounds of physical or men
tai disability.
The defense cross questioned the
members of the Army medical board
which examined Bergdoll last month
and pronounced him sane. asking each
one to define constitutional psychic
pathic inferiority," and state il they
thought Bergdoll subject to such an
ailment. All stated they believed him
normal and acceptable physically and
mentally as a soldier.
Col. L. A. Dean of the board said he
classed constitutional psychopathic in
feriority" as a sort of waste basket
into which alienists throw cases Of
mental inferiority."
DIR. Dercum's Opinion.
The opinion of Dr. Francis X Der
cum. a Philadelphia neurologist who
treated President Wilson. that Berg
doll in 1915 was "in ordinary health
and without doubt a normal young
man without sign of nervousness was
read.
DIR. Dercum testified for the defense
in the court Of common pleas in Phila-
delphia when Charles Bergdoll
sought to have a guardian appoint ed
for his brother Grover on the ground
that he was of unsound mind. The
doctors testimony was incorporated
in the report of the medical board
which examined Grover.
