W|THANSELL IN
bERCDOLL WAR
Private Legion Head Protests
censure of Soldiers Friend"
In House Report.

Defending Brig. Gen. Samuel T. An.
sell as being one Of the best friends
the enlisted man had during the
world war. Marvin Gates Sperry. ma
tional president of the Private Soldiers
and Sailors Legion. has sent the gen.
erai a letter protesting against the
finding OF the so-called Bergdoll COM
nittee of the House.
The letter follows:
1.-The Private Soldiers and Sailors
Legion desires to go on record as dis
agreeing emphatically with the ma
Jority report OF a COMMITTEES or the
House Of Repre- Ssrtatives In which
you are censured FOR your connection
with the Bergdoll case.
Our organization Is composed OF
enlisted men--the men who fought and
,suffered--and not a single member OF
II has any sympathy with Bergdoll or
his kind. On the contrary. we are the
men most interested in seeing him
punished.
Employed As Lawyer.
"As we look at the matter, how
ever, you were employed in your
professional capacity as private
lawyer to present to the War Dc
partment a request that Bergdoll be
taken, under proper guard. from his
prison to some unknown, remote and
lonesome place where he was sup
posed to have buried a large amount
Of gold.
You properly presented this re-
quest to the War Department, as
you had been paid to do. and as you
had an undoubted right to do. AS
we understand It. you never at any
time assumed any responsibility for
Bergdoll's security.
You made no suggestion rs to
how or by whom he SHOULD be
guarded, nor did you take upon your
self any duties in the nature of
trust or seek to interfere In what
ever arrangements the War Depart
ment might see fit to make.
You were retained as lawyer
proper thing, and you did II in n
connection with It and your respon-
sibility for 1t ceased.
Because OF the negligence of tho
authorities charged with guarding
Bergdoll he escaped, and with one ac-
cord, spontaneously and unanimously,
the solid phalanx Of swivel-chalr gen.
erals whom you had derided and
shown up for their connection with
the scandalous court-martial abuses
during the war, sought to throw all
the blame on you, and made such
adroit and cunning use of the feel
ing against Bergdoll that they nearly
got away with II.
I'VE want to assure you that the
members of the Private Soldiers and

plans are regarded as the best possible
for this community.
Employees OF leading newspaper
soon formed a club and decided to To-
cate their colony in the South Hills
district, while large party Of Uni
versity of Pittsburgh professors took
up the question of building on land
near the university. Neighbors living
in flats and apartments in the con-
gested residence sections have also ap.
proved the plan by forming neighbor-
hood clubs. A number OF manufactur-
ing companies have taken up with the
corporation the idea of providing
houses to sell TO their employees At

COAL FOUND UNDER CURB

vein of coal two feet thick was
found yesterday under the curb
stone on North Third street near
the courthouse. The vein contains
thousands Of tons OF coal, but Il can.
not be mined. as such action would
weaken buildings of great value.
The excavation by which the coal
was discovered was for the purpose
OF placing a gasoline tank under the
pavement. Mr.. Lord took a ton from

Japan's Naval Policy.

If it is true that Japan will not consent to
navy building vacation this is all the reason
to pass the Borah resolution. This would put Ja-
pan on record officially and formally.
Senator Borah only proposes cutting construc-
ton 50 per cent This would leave the three great
powers on their present parity or proportionate
sea power.
1t would not close and abandon plants. 1t
would merely slow them down, If Great .Britan's
present indefinite program would leave her at
disadvantage, that, too, could be equaIizcd.
What Japanese officials say in interviews and
the reported position of her naval authorities are
far from conclusive OF what would be the action of
her government faced by definite proposal Such
talk, for domestic or international consumption is
good deal like the conversation preliminary to a
prize fight
Americans are familiar with both these species
Of talk. They accustomed to hear and read the
opinions of public men on all sorts of subjects
They have acquired the habit of weighing these
going back of the returns, and judging values.
1t may be true that Japan would be greatly
pleased to be left out of such an agreement as is
proposed 1t might suit her exactly. to. have the
United States and Great Britain alone reduce their
naval construction, while she continued her pro
gram.
Japanese pride in being one of the three great
naval powers, her excessive sensitiveness when g-
nored in international affairs, her jealousy of not
being asked to join in international movements
might be for submerged
On the other hand Japan would find great
difficulty, and it may we'll be doubted if she would
really have, the inclination to either decline take
part in the proposed conference to join in any
agreement acceptable and favored by this country
and Great Britain.
Her national wealth does minimize the
burden Of her taxation, any than does our
own Fully much the United States and
Great Britain, she needs a holiday in excessive ex-
penditurc.
She needs and there is no occasion to question:
wants peace, not Called "the Germans OF the
Orient" there is to believe that she
seeks world domination. Her ambitions are rather
limited to her section OF the world
What she fears is interference with her Asiatic
policy. But it is not possible for her alone to have
dominant navy, and Great Britain has made it
known more and not for the first time that
she not expect British help against the
United States.
The Borah resolution would at least clear the
atmosphere, would make definite the new indefinite
and would FIX the record by placing any obstruc-
tive responsibility.

immigration and City Rivalry.

HNE of the most vexing problems of immi-
4 j grafton is distribution of the incoming
population. majority of the new arrivals
come from the land; but only small proportion
go to the land.
In the earlier days free land was the chief
American attraction Those who came made no
stop that was not necessary, until they reached
: a government land Office
They at once took a homestead or pre-emption
and became farmers. They and their sons now
form the majority of the rural population of most
Of the Middle West and Northwest There are no
better citizens.
But with the growth of cities came the lure
OF cities. With this the increasing demand for
labor With this came rivalry in city growth,
With this came organization to promote that
growth.
From all this came the most recent problem Of
feeding great centers OF population huddled to-
gether in apartment houses, in interminable rows
ot'tenementS, and monotonous blocks OF individual
homes with total absence of individuality.
:: Nowhere is there spot to grow much as
a radish for food. Millions live in crowded rooms
or shut in houses, from grocery and delicatessen
to table The food supply is from day to day.
This food supply origin is hundreds of miles,
or in part even thousands of miles away. A half
and two-thirds or three-fourths of its cost
to those who eat, is in transportation and distri-
button, while everyone in between scrambles for
more.
From this born the back to the land
movement. But while it is called movement"
it refuses to The most expert artists have
painted the picture, but it hardly gets passing
glance.
Why? For the simple but sufficient reason
that it is largely parlor affair, while opposed to
it the skillfuly managed, amply financed or
CARNATIONS to not only keep in cities all who
land there from overseas, but to draw to them
those already on the land.
So long as city is big it wants to be,
so long as there is the intense rivalry among them
in just bigness, long they willing to
spend large funds in this organized effort, back
to the land" will be a sort of vaudeville stunt,
entertaining but fruitless.
