BERGDOL[ K|NSMAN

Major Campbell, Helps His
Innocence Plea
ROMIG ALSO A WITNESS
BIZ a StdG Correspondent

Washington, July 23.-The Berg
doll hearing was resumed today before
the House Investigating Committee, with
j. Il. Romig, former Magistrate Of
Philadelphia, called by Major Bruce Il.
Campbell to the stand.
Major Campbell, who was Grover
Bergdoll's military counsel at his court
martial before his escape to Germany,
was endeavoring to have testimony
given to uphold his denial that he had
ever received money from the Bcrgdolls.
With Major Campbell asking qucs-
tions, Romig said he last saw the major
in New York. The Judge" said he
was over TO ask if Campbell would de-
fcnd Erwin Bcrgdoll. ,
"What answer did l make?' asked
Major Campbell.
"You said you had had enough Of
the Bcrgdoll matter" Ronig an
swercd.
Major Campbell said he had nothing
else to ask and Chairman Peters cx-
cused the witness. Before leaving the
stand Romig tod Representative John
son that he never heard of letter
received by Mrs. Bergdoll from her son.
Braun Didn't Hear of II
Charles 4. Braun, of Philadelphia. a
brother of Grover, knew that the mat
ter of defending Erwin Borgdoll was
mentioned to Major Campbell. but could
give no details to the committee. He
never heard from his mother any crti-
cism Of Major Campbell. or statement
that the major received $4,000 or any
thing of the kind, he told Representa-
tive Luhring on cross examination.
Braun saw bis mother last, n day or
two ago.
He did not recall that she mentioned
anything of the evidence before tae
committee. Braun said he was mot
privileged to discuss everything with my
MOTHER not wishing to get into any
thing that might cause trouble.
Did you ask as to your mothers 5
hcalth?"
II did not have to. ] could see that
it was bad" he said.

TO SEND
FRENCH TO S|LES|A
German Government Asked to
Give Safe-Conduct to
Troops on Way
LLOYD GEORGE IS DEFIED
BY the Associated Press

Paris. July 23.--Premier BRAND. toI-
lowing n meeting of the council Of
ministers at Rambouillet yesterday, has
dispatched n telegram to Berlin request
ing that the German Government take
all necessary steps to insure safe con-
Of French troops. which il is said in
official circles, will be ordered to Silesia
within a few hours.
This mornings newspapers give con-
siderable prominence to the council
meeting, which was the second TO be
held at Rambouilet since the election
of President Millerand. 1t is under
stood that the Siesian question was
the chief subject under discussion, and
although the official communique fails
to say so. the newspapers declare un-
qualified approval was given the
Premier's stand after he had explained
1t in great detail.
Ignore Lloyd George
The ministers are reported to feel
that France should not retreat an inch
from the determination to send re- en-
forcements to Upper Silesla. despite
opposition to such n move by David
Lloyd George, the British Prime Min
lister.
Instructions were sent late last night
to the French Ambassador in London
requesting him to tell the British Gov
ernment that France considers it useless
for the Allies to establish Silesian
boundary without providing sufficient
troops to enforce the provisions. and
adding that France intends to dispatch
another division without waiting for
action by the other Allies.
Several newspapers are inclined to
take a more hopeful view of the dead
lock Of this morning and to believe that
England will recede from her position.
Decision Irrevocable
The Petit Partisan says, however,
that the French decision to send re en-
forcements is "irrevocablc" and that
the troops will go forward no matter
what happens.
Premier BRAND is said in some quar-
ters to hold the view that England will
consent to a postponement of the Su
preme Council meeting until the middle
of August. when the French re enforce
ments will have arrived and the experts
have completed detailed report of con-
ditiOns in the Silesian industrial area.
thus allowing the council to reach n
satisfactory compromise, probably
based on suggestions by Count SfOrza
former Italian Minister of Foreign Al
fairs.
