GROVER BERCDOLL
FORMALLY SOUGHT
BY U. 5. MILITARY
Gen. Allen Makes Move to
Have DeSerter Re-
turned.

The United States government. II
was learned yesterday. has made
formal request OF the German gov
crnment for the surrender of Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll as an army de-
serter.
The request was made through
military channels by Gen: Allen. In
command of the American occupa-
tional forces in Germany and also
through American Commissioner
DreseI in Berlin. A reply has been
received from the German, govern
ment stating that It did not see how
it could comply with the request
Immediately owing to the feeling in
Germany over the attempt by Amer
lean soldiers to kidnap BerEdoll.
Look for Surrender.
Indications were that the German
government was willing to go as far
as it could in response to the re-
quest of the United States and that
beTEuOil uiIlindltl. "oulu DC sur
rendered.
The United States also will ask
the German government TO parton
and release the American army SER
geants, thinner and Ncaf. who were
convicted and sentenced to prison
for their part in attempting to kid
nap Bergdoll on German soil. This
request. which will be sent today,
1t is expected, will be complied with.
There has been much correspond
ence with the German authorities
since the arrest Of these men, and
Germany is understood to have said
that nothing could be done officially
while the case was in the courts.
Now that the case has been tried
and the American army sergeants
convicted. the United States will ex-
pect that an appeal for clemency
will be acted upon favorably by
Germany.

Office. And this was why l couldn't
get very deep into the Hatch business
with Mr.. Norcross when he told me
what he had been obliged to do about
the Sand Creek hold-up.
If he had been like other men 1t
wouldn't have been so hard. But
had a feeling that he had gone into
this love business just as he did into
everything-neck or Notwithstanding
his bridges behind him, and having no
notion Of ever turning back. The boss
had never been beaten. What was it
going to do to him when he learned
the truth about Mrs. Sheila?

knock when l saw that 1t was up to
me to tell him. I remembered all the

most cold-blooded surgeon that ever
lived wouldn't trust himself to stick a

PRESIDENT URGES CONGRESS
To END WAR WITH GERMANY
In First Message Chief Exec utive Reiteraes Belief That
League of Nations Is Dead and Reafirms
Allegiance to World Association

WASHINGTON, D. c., April Ia
Congress should adopt a resolution
declaring peace with Germany with
out further delay, President Hard
sage to congress today. Such ac-
ton, he said, could in no sense be
construed as a desertion of the allies.
He made plain his belief that the
league of nations is dead. Measures
to lower taxes and lower retail prices
were the outstanding features of his
recommendation for dealing with
domestic problems.
Declare State Of Peace.
The peace resolution, Harding ex-
planned, should undertake to do no
more than declare a state Of peace
and must put no difficulty in the way
of the collection of reparations or
the restoration Of war-torn Europe.
The message raised the question
of a possible ratification Of the YER
sailles treaty with the league of ma
lions covenant deleted. Harding did
not state this explicitly, but spoke
for acceptance of the rights and in
terests provided under the existing
treaty, assuming, of course, that
this can be satisfactorily accom-
plished by such explicit reservations
and notifications as will secure our
absolute freedom from inadvisable
commitments and safeguard all our
essential interests"
Turning his back completely on
the league of nations, the executive
reaffirmed his allegiance to the ideal
of world association of nations.
But this problem must be DELHI
erately considered, he said, and he
promised to invite the advice Of the
Senate when he feels it time to act.
I'm the existing league Of nations,
world governing with its super
powers, this republic will have no
part" he said.
There can be no misinterpreta-
ton and there will be no betrayal OF
deliberate expression of the Ameri-
can people in the recent election"
I'm rejecting the league coven-
ant" he said later in his address,
1--WE make no surrender of our hope
and aim of an association to pro-
mate peace in which we would most
heartily join"
Turning to the question of i'm
mediate peace, the president said
that the United States alone Of the
allied and associated powers con-
tinues in a technical state Of war.
This anomalous condition ought
not to be permitted to continue" he
said. ITO establish the state Of
technical peace without further de-
lay, I should approve declaratory
resolution by congress to that effect,
with the qualifications essential to
protect all our rights"
Opposes Declaration Of Policy.
President Harding argued against
including in the resolution any
declaration of future policy toward
Europe. Such declaration coming
from congress would be an assump-
ton of a function conferred on the
executive.
President Harding laid emphasis
upon domestic problems.
There is no more pressing prob
lem, he said, than to restrict ma
tional expense to national income
and at the same time to lift the bur-
dens Of war taxation. Economy is to
be "the outstanding and ever-irn-
pelling' purpose, he insisted.

S. HAS SIXTY :
TIMES AS MUCH.R R.
TRACK AS CHINA

Picking. June 2s.-President Hsu
~shih-chang, discussing railways in his
book recently issued, China After the
War" recites hat China has twenty
four railway lines with a total mile
age Of about 1000, whereas the United
States. with an area about the same
a. China, and with only one-fourth
OF the, population. has 100000 miles Of
railway, or sixty times as much.
MANY of our lines" he continues,
were at first built with foreign capi-
tai. The diversity Of foreign interests
has made It impossible to lay out our
lines according to some comprehens-
i've plan for the whole country. Such
being the case. part Of the capital
seems to have been invested in I'M
important routas while many more
important regions n without mod
ern means Of communication.
Since the nrst construction Of
railways In China, forty years ago,
no less than 100000, 900 has been ex-
pended; yet trunk lines are found only
north OF the Yangtze river and east
OF Honan province, leaving the great
plains to. the south and west pfact1c-,
ally untraversed. This not only hind
ers the proper industrial Development
OF the country, hut it also sows the
seeds Of, future International ,compli-
cations. Therefore in the interests Of
all concerned arrangements should be
modified so as to preclude undesirable
.possibilities."
