large yield from all crops is re-

The farmers in general are in
good condition. A surplus, above
home consumption, is reported in
hogs and chickens.
Land is selling at ten to twenty
five dollars per acre. But" Mr..
Steffian said, mot many of the
farmers are selling. They settled
on the plains twelve or fourteen
years ago and are doing very well,
as a rule. Many contemplate
building substantial houses when
building materials assume a nor
NAL price. These people are at

inducements can cake them sell"

Of i. s. PROBE
House Committee to Ask
Congress- for Authority to
Find Out How Draft
Dodger Fled to Germany.

Washington, Feb. lO.-After de-
veloping some high spots in the
case of Grover c. BergdoH, the
house military committee decldeu
TODAY to ask congress for authority
TO find out how the rich draft
dodger escaped from a military
guard and went to Germany, the
country he had refused to fight.
The committee so voted aiter
hearing District Attorney c. d.
McAvoy, Of Philadelphia, who de"
clared there was no evidence 10
Justify the charge that anybody
connected with the war department
had been corrupted with BergdoII
money. The name of d. c. Glib
bony. counsel for Bergdoll, was
brought into the proceedings and
Mr.. McAvoy was positive in as
sorting the belief Gibbony was
drowned in Mexico despite a report
that he was alive.
Action Needed.
Chairman Kahn announced to,
night that enough evidence had
been developed TO indicate the
necessity of action. Recent state
ments cabled from Germany by
Rergdoll prompted the committee
to renewed effort, In view or MS
charge that he had obtained from
the treasury department and CON
cealed in the woods 100000 IN
gold to be used in effecting his re-
lease through bribery Of govern
ment officials.
The committee will seek to as,
certain what influence enabled
Bergdoll to obtain so much gold
from the treasury when the supply
was being conserved. The more
important thread to be followed
| members said, was the ability OF
the prisoners lawyers to obtain ms
release under guard to go into the
hills of Maryland - dig up ms
gold. 1t was while he was out or
this chase that Bergdoll, stopping
IN philadelphia to visit his mother
indicted with him, eluded his sol
der guards.
Got Gold From Treasury.
Mr.. McAvoy testified there was
no doubt that Bergdoll got the golC
from the treasury. In expressing
belief that no high officials or tht
war department had been corrupt
ed, he said he was equally positive
that the draft dodger had not es
capped through political influence
Most of his testimony related Il
many circumstances of long age
revealed in connection with th(
story of Bergdoll. Describing tht
legal tactics of the former prison
er's mother, Mr. McAvoy indicated
a Philadelphia lawyer, wise enough
to solve any court problem, coulc
mot satisfy the woman, who con
Istantly traded one attorney for an
other. After Mrs. Bergdoll hac
paid out $12,500 in fees, she quit

Turkish Leader
Threatens Drive
Upon Black Sea
Large Reinforcements Re
eeived by Mustapha Kemal;
Angora Government Ar.
rogant to Allies.

London, June o.--Large military
reinforcements have been received
BY Mustapha Kemal Pasha, head Of
the Turkish nationalist government
al Angora, and he is threatening to
advance on the Black sea and the sea
4 OF Marmora.
The Angora government is said to
have taken an arrogant attitude to-
ward the allies. Dispatches contain
ing these statements were featured
by the London newspapers today.
Assertion is made by the Daily
Sketch that the British government
has received reports of a grave ma
~ture from Constantinople, which is
declared to be menaced with cap
ture by the Turkish nationalists.
British representatives there, il says,
have advised the government il re-
Inducements are not available, it is
desirable that British forces in the
near east and middle east be with
drawn TO India.
Information received by the Jour
nal would appear to imply the in
ability of the Greek army to stem
any dufdHSe oy tllS ildtioidiists.
A Constantinople dispatch to the
Daily Mail reports that two British
tattleships have been ordered to the
Dardanelles, it being intended that
they will join in operations against
the nationalists by blockading Black
sea ports and covering the landing
OF Greek reinforcements. The dis
patch implies that British warships,
Benbow and Centaur, which have
been engaged in target practice on
the sea of Marmora, will cooperate
with the two battleships and pre-
diction is made that British Destroy
ers will soon arrive in the Straits.
Confirmation of these reports is
lacking in official quarters. where it
is stated the British government has
not reached any decision.
