tobLENZ. Germany. February 2l-
Officers al the headquarters of the
American forces in Germany are in
dlgnant over the agitation that has
peen stirred up about Gen Aliens
attitude in the Bergdoll incident
They declare that some members of
the American Legion and certain
American newspapers are arguing
from false premises and are doing
more harm than good. The spon-
laneouS apology that was made they
declare, was the only possible thing
in the circumstances
Bergdoil is a political refugee"
SAID one of the American officers to-
DAY AS such, he is scarcely sub
ject to eXtradition. For years the
dodgers from Germany and allowed
them to become American citizens
therefore the United States would
not have a leg to stand on in any
demand for the surrender of Berg
doll. Besides, he is a simple Stacker
not felon. and we shall be well rid
of him II he adopts German citizen
ship.
Naef and thinner on the other
hand, the members of our department
in criminal investigation who at
tempted to abduct Bergdoll. and who
are now prisoners in Baden, were
under the orders of raw young
lieutenant who had recently arrived
from the United States, who did not
know that Eberbach was not in oc-
cupied territory. This young officer
has been relieved of his command and
sent back to the United States for
trial.
Want Soldiers Released.
Though Bergdoll himself may well
be forgotten, L think that. in view of
our repeated demands. Naef and Zim
mer should be released. The German
authorities cannot well forget the
moderation of the allied authorities
last summer in reinstating the bur-
gomaster and police chief of Weis-
baden, who We're responsible for the
abduction of DIR. Dorten, the self
styled president of the Rhineland re-
public They can have no object for
evaporation of Americans at this
time.
'It has been said that since the
United States is still technically at
war with Germany it was undignified
for Gen. Allen to extend an apology
as he did. That is stretching a point
too far. BY the strict Interpretation
of the law the American forces
should not cooperate in any way with
the allies under the treaty of YER
sailles. But just imagine the chaos
that would ensue if the American
forces here stood onSa different basis
from that of the British and French.
The Germans would play off one
against another and We should stand
on a little island surrounded by sus-
picious neighbors."

Passage with the utmost speed pos

day. He says it is absolutely neces-
sary that this legislation should be
enacted at the present session of Con-
gress to save the people from further
economic waste and extrava gance. In
the interests of economy and efhci-
ency. speaking for the organized
business men of the country, he calls
upon Congress for action-now.
1T is only by immediate passage OF

generally indorsed and which has
gone through all the processes of
amendment and deliberatior- be per-
mitted to remain on the Senate cal
endar for an entire session without
being taken up for final paSSage-the
only stage that remains?
Bill Called Most Vital.
'"The pending budget bill IS the most
important of the Legislative measures
now in position for pasSa ge. 1t ap-
Is not TtdIIZSu NAT tUS Sit-
uatiOn is. There is not the slightest
opposition worthy of note to a budget
system for the ma tional government
in either party. In fact. both parties
are committed to it by their plat
forms. and the President-elect has
publicly expressed his desire for this
reform. 1t is demanded by business
as vital part of plans for true
economy in government expenditures.
Delay in this vital matter is plan
ned in order that Congress may make
absolutely certain that two officers
appointed by the President shall be
removed only by Congress. These two
officers are given duties which are not
in fact an absolutely essential part
Of a budget plan, properly speaking
Poxtponement Is Dangerous
ITO postpone action until the next
Congress meets is a dangerous piece
of business. The bill will then have
to be reintroduced and go through all
the processes of Legislation requ red
under the rules of the House and Sen
ate. This in itself will take time even
if there We're no Intentional obstruc
tion TO the pa assage of the bill.

accomplished without seriously OBJ
