President Harding Orders
 Bergdoll Property Seized

6HHE worst blow that could have
 u befallen Grover Bergdoll, noto- rious Philadelphia stacker, except his capture and return to America, was the seizure of all his property by the alien property custodian.
 BergdolPs possessions in Philadel- phia are estimated to be worth $850,- 900. His fortune was held by his mother under power of attorney and it was probably remittances received from her that enabled him to live luxuriously abroad without exerting himself except to taunt the American government. a
 With his fortune in the hands of the alien property custodian, Grover will derive no further revenue from America until the property is finally 
 disposed of. Unless he had enough foresight to take a considerable sum of money with him when he fled to Germany, he may soon have to work for his living. As there is nothing to indicate that he has ever done anything of the sort before, the fu- ture looks dark for our best known draft dodger. It may even be harder for him to work than for some of the former Russian noblemen and army officers, who are employed at all kinds of menial tasks in an eff fort to make both ends meet. It is even reported that former Russian officers are acting as "nursemaids" in Athens.
 Since the government has been per sistently flouted by Grover Bergdoll and his belligerent mother, why hasn't and his belligerent mother, why wasn't his property seized before?
