BERCDOLL FAMILY
PROPERTY SEIZED
President Harding Orders Action
Taken by Custodian Miller Un-
der Trading With Enemy Act.
SHUTS OFF SLACKER'S FUNDS
Draft Dodger Must Return From Ger
many and CompIetH Prison Term
to Get His Wealth-Rest
VIII Be Restored.

Philadelphia.-All Of the property of
Grover c. Bergdoll, draft dodger and
now fugitive in Germany, was seized
by Cononel Thomas w. Miller, alien
property custodian, under the trading
with the enemy act, at the personal
direction Of" President Harding. The
Stacker now stands in the eyes of the
government an "enemy without rights
of American citizenship" To regain
his property he must return to the
United States and prove his owner
ship.
Even then Congress must act before
he can return. But the minute he sets
foot on American soil and applies for
his property he will be subject to ar
rest and must serve out his five years
sentence as deserter, with possibly
an added penalty because of his escape
while ostensibly hunting or his pot OF
buried gold from the authorities.
All property belonging to Mrs. Emma
C. Bergdoll mother of the Stacker, as
we'll as funds held in trust by her Tor
Erwin c.. Bergdoll, her other Stacker
son now serving a term in Leaven-
worth, is also now under the admins
tration of the alien propert.' custodian.
Mrs. Bergdoll has five da. In which
to make q detailed report, separating
the three estates, Ler own and those
of her two sons, for whom she has held
power of attorney ever sin they be-
came slackers. Should she refuse to
comply, she will be in contempt of
court and will have to go to prison un-
til she separates Growers property
from the rest.
Mrs. BergdolI Is unable to touch one
cent of her own wealth or that of her
two sons. When the separation is
made to the satisfaction of the Alien
Property Custodian her own property
will be restored and her power of at
torney over Erwin Bergdoll's property
will be returned. But her guardian
ship over Growers possessions ended
when the seizure notice was served
on her. Mrs. Bergdoll cannot even
write q letter to he. son, nor can any
one else In the United States.
Bergdoll is now incommunicado In
Germany so far as the United States
is concerned. In future he will be
without the funds that his mother and
relatives heretofore have been able to
send him. He has only two courses
left-either come back to the United
States, serve out his term in prison
and claim his property or stay in Ger
many and work for living.
In the meantime Mrs. Bergdoll must
either move from the Bergdoll castle
in Wynnefield, which is tie property
of Grover, or pay rent to the United
States government.
A notice announcing the seizure was
pasted on the house but Mrs. Berg.
doll Immediately tore ii down and car
| ried it into the house.
Following the formalities at the
Bergdoll home seizure notices were
served on all banks and trust com
panies having money, etc.

BRAND SUSTAINED
AFTER HOT DEBATE
Of Two Great Factions, One Puts
All Hope in Entente With
United States.

Paris.-A vote Of confidence was
stormy debate, which should not mis-
lead America into believing that
France has finally decided to abandon
her militaristic dreams in favor Of a
policy of conciliation. Brands cabinet
weathered the storm, but according to
parliamentary experts, may be over
thrown at any moment.
The vote was, given on questions Of
the governments foreign policy. Ac.
ceptance of the London ultimatum
guarantee was voted 4G3 to 163; con-
fidence in the governments ability to
make Germany carry out her agree
ments was voted 800 to 162, and the
vote on the order of the day as q
whole was 419 to III.
The country is divided into two Sec
tions. The first are those who have
come to the realization that Great
Britain's program has been successful
ly carried out since the armistice, and
has bagged for the British empire the
German colonies and the best oil fields
in the world
At the same time, Great Britain has
done away with its most powerful
trade rival by sinking and dispensing
its fleet, its credit, and its possibility
to challenge the British trade supre-
macy for at least a generation.
This section insists that France
should receive at least the same COM
pensation for war damage as Great
Britain, even should the Entente go
overheard.
A vision of an avalanche of gold dol
lars and the cancellation of the French
! war debt to America looms large in
the Imagination of this section.

Calcutta, Dec. IL. - William E.

prohibition worker, told the nkem-
bers of the Rotary club here that his
impression after an extensive tour
of the country, is that India is more
ripe for prohibition than America
was five years ago.
Mr.. Johnson was the principal
guest of the club at it's tiffin meeting
where he was subjected to a good
natured bombardment of questions.
Describing his reception in India
which has been an enthusiastic one,
Mr.. Johnson said he had been well
coined because he represented a cru
SADIE that appealed to the people of
India.
an the districts | have visited in
the past few weeks" he said, II have
been entertained by every class,
from the Viceroy and the native prin-
ces downwards, and only on a single
occasion at Patna several days ago
did | hear an Indian stand up to OPP
pose prohibition.
at was at Patna that | witnessed
a remarkable demonstration in sup
port of a dry India, a great crowd
of nearly 5000 at the request of the
chairman voting on the question by
show of hands. So far as I could
see, every hand in the audience and
in some instances both-was raised
Immediately in favor of prohibition,
and not solitary hand against.
Il might mention also, the wonder
full gathering we had in a theater at
Baroda-with an audience of more
than three thousand-at which a
speaker was loudly Kissed for ref

the ony way that we can prove it is
for people to come and see them.
Thanking you or the opportunity
