"l7nforseen Contingency"

II was said last night at Governors
Island that Bergdoll had gone to Phil
adelphia on confidential mission"
at the instance of competent author
ity."
His official business in Philadelphia
would take him four or five days, it
was estimated, when he left Governors
Island Thursday. Bergdoll's visit to
his mothers home was described as
IAN unforeseen contingency" There
was no reason associated with his mis-
sion, it was said, which would take
him to the home of his mother. nor
did it occur to any one that he might
go there.
Major Henry P. Hunt, commanding
the disciplinary barracks, said:
IAN unforeseen circumstance caused
a delay in Philadelphia. I cannot dis
cuss the case further until | get an
official report from the men who were
guarding him. Every effort will be
made to recapture him and return him
to custody here"
Officials of the Eastern Department
with headquarters at Governors Isl
and issued a statement that Bergdoli
has not been in their jurisdiction since
he was sentenced last March.

together and fastened out. AS I-came
through the side door someone touched
my shoulder, and there was Edie In
the cleaning.
"Silly boy" said she. "You are not
really going? I don't want you to go,
Jack"
"You said that the folk in the coun.
try were fit for nothing better. You
always speak like that. You think no
more Of me than of those doves in the
cote. You think I'm nobody at all. I'll
show you different" All my troubles
came out in hot little spurts Of speech.
She colored up as I spoke and looked
at me in her queer, half-mocking, half
petting fashion.
"Oh, I think so little of you as that"
said she. "And that is the reason why
you are going away. Well, then, Jack,
will you stay If I am-if I am kind to
you?"
We were face to face and close to-
gether, and in an instant the thing
was done. My arms were round her,
and I was kissing her, and kissing her,
and kissing her, on her mouth, her
cheeks, her eyes, and pressing her to
my heart, and whispering to her that
she was all, all to me-, and that I could
not be without her. She said moth
ing, but it was long before she turned
her face aside, and when she pushed
me back it was not very hard.
"Why, you are quite your rude, old,
impudent self" said she, patting hel
hair with her two hands. "You have
tossed me, Jack. 1 had no idea that
YOU would be so forward"
But all my fear of her was gone, and
a love tenfold hotter than ever was
boiling in my veins. I took her up
again and kissed her, as if it were my
right.
"You are my very own now" I cried.
81 shall not go to Berwick, but I'll stay
and marry YOU"
But she laughed when I spoke of
marriage. "Silly boy! Silly boy"
said she, with her forefinger up. and
then when I tried to lay hands on her
again she gave a little dainty courtesy
and was off into the house.

Ne,Us of Soldiers and Sailors
WHAT LEGION OFFICIAL
 THINKS OF BONUS

Without question go per cent of the men who served believe that the gov ernment should pay a bonus and do so without delay. The one per cent against the bonus are men in such f- nancial position thatsthey are beyond need. Many of Us are not in need of a bonus, but it would be exceedingly selfish to let our own position inter- fere with the needs of our less forum ate comrades. You realize that many men assumed family obligations be- fore they entered the service, during their term of service, or immediately upon their return,- and now find them selves utterly unable to cope with their new obligations.
 The reports given by the Morris Plan Banks show that a great num- Der of their loans are made to men who have returned from the service who have had to mortgage their earn ing power to meet urgent and imme- diate obligations. If the government fails to vote a bonus, it will be plac- ing a premium on draft evaders and slackers, who received the benefits of nigh wartime wages and were able to buy automobiles and homes, while men who were serving their country are compelled to go into debt to de- gree that will hamper them for at least several years in putting them selves upon their prewar footing.
 You will hear it advanced that the men are not capable of taking care of their money if they are to receive it from the government. That is vic ious and malicious statement made by men who have little appreciation of the fact that those who served were intelligent and capable, and inasmuch as the government did not allow them to stipulate just what they would dc while in the service it would not be wise to attempt to stipulate to them what they should do now that they are out of the service with their adjusted compensation.
 It is common knowledge that many thousands of men who served in the world war are in very urgent need of financial assistance, and it is a strain upon their loyalty and good will to- ward their country to overlook theii needs at this time.--Letter from Thos w. McManus, ce-president Califor- mia American Legion, to Senator Phel- an, printed in Congressional Record.
