DUBLIN, Aug. l7.-When the Dali
Eireann adjourned this afternoon the
Tribune correspondent talked with one
of the most important members as to
the effect of the entire proceedings
This member gave him to understand
that De Valera's speech indicated the
general lines which would be followed
in the Irish ministry's reply to Premier
Lloyd George, but that the reply had
not yet been actually drafted. and that
when it is. and when it is submitted to
the Dali, it would be minutely discussed
before it was adopted, rejected or
amended.
Reports of all Sim Fein mini sters,
submitted to-day. were referred to the
private session for debate. The Min
lister Of Defense reported that he was
satisfied with the position Of the Irish
republican army, which had been
formed into divisions. The heads of
all divisions, he added, were pleased
with the present state of their units
and the army would go on strengthen
ing itself and increasing its efficiency.
The army has taken an ,oath of allie
glance. he asserted. and the Minister

ATHENS, Aug II Greek Ojcial

the correspondent of Politlka, who says
this information comes from Turkish

they will be able to save all the cars,

BERLIN, Aug. 17.-Grovcr Cleve-
land Bergdoll, the wealthy American
draft dodger, has escaped from Baden
and is in Switzerland, it is reliably
reported here. The reason for his
fight is understood to be his fear that
he was about to be extradted to the
United States, where sentence as a de-
serter hangs over his head
The German government is delaying
investigation of the case until it re-
ceives request from Washington.
The affair is embarrassing to the
Foreign Office, but Bergdolls new ex-
plot is not unwelcome, because his
presence in Germany gradually had
begun to occasion internal political
complications, since the Conservative
party has been opposing the proposal
to surrender him to the American gov

New Complications Foreseen

ron, me 1r'oune's WASHINGTON Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-Cabled re-
ports that Grover c. Bergdoll had fled
to Switzerland to escape possible ex-
tradition to this country under the
new treaty being negotiated between
the United States and Germany re-
vived interest in the case o-day among
officials of the State and War Depart
ments who have been endeavoring to
effect the capture of the fugitive ever
since his spectacular escape from his
military guard at his Philadelphia
home.
Difficulty may be encountered in ex-
traditing Bergdoll from Switzerland
because of the wording of the treaty
Of 1900 between that country and the
United States. This document pro-
vides for the extradition of persons
for various crimes, but officials who
have made q cursory examination of
the treaty declare that Bergdoll's
otfense may not come under the pro-
visions of the agreement.
The treaty provides that Americans
who seek refuge in Switzerland to
escape punishment for perjury and
other crimes may be extradited, but the
crime of military desertion charged
against Bergdoll is not listed as an
Great Britain Might Act
The point is made that Great Britain
or Canada may bring about Bergdoll's )
return to one of those countries be
cause of the perjury he committed to
obtain a passport in Canada by fraud.
No ground on which this country could
obtain the person Of the arch Stacker I
has thus far been found.
DR.. Conrad Jenny, secretary of the
Swiss Legation, said to-day that
if the United States would ask for the
extradition of Bergdol the request
would be forwarded to the Swiss For
eign Office. He pointed out, however,
that under the law OF his country the
person involved could appeal to the Su-
p-eme Court Of Switzerland to combat
the writ of extradtion. This tribunal
is the court of last resort in determine
ing whether the grounds for extradi-
tion justify the surrender of n fugitive.

Evolution of Nudity

 Paris COnnOisseurs

Paris, June 27 Ever since the French Senate decided to call upon the government to suppress i'm morap' scenes in Paris theatres and to forbid nudew omen from appear ing on the stage, French writers have been busy consulting history as to when women first appeared on the stage clothed only in natures robes-'
 They have discovered that women, and men as well, appeared nude on ttheatTe stages as long ago as 2000 years E.. C. In ancient Syria during the Venus celebrations women abso- lutely naked and not even wearing a string of beads. as they do in some places in Paris, would sing songs of praise to the goddess. It was the custom, fin those days, with the Syrians.' once a show was over, to NcaH upon actors and actresses to disrobe and dance and sing. Object politely to leave Or were thrown out.
 From nudity and morals these same French writers stepped over to the First's morals. It appears Napoleon was a pure mora1ist and did not be- lieve in love. ''I do more than deny the existence of love-" he would say, 'I believe it to be detrimental to so- ciety and to the individual happi- ness of man, and I firmly believe it does more harm than good" Evi- dently his wife, Marie Louise, was { a different opinion, for she was tr 4ce married and had at last two iEzgit- mate children-one- Coutn de Monte nuevo, being born three months after Napoleon'S death.

THE OPEN DOOR IN CHINA.

II was John Hay who first cnunciatcd the
open door In China development and cxploita-
tion. The Wilson administration, through the
Japanese treaty In it's second term largely
closed that door and bred some ~ the crnhar-
rassing problems that now confront this nation
In the far east. And 1t is Hughes who has
again committed the United States to the open
door.
The open door. he II known. briefly stated
means opportunity for all nations terms of
equality to all, special privileges or monopoly
to none. The Federal Telegraph company. an
American concern operating under contract
with the Chinoso government. was nssaIled by
foreign interests holding similar rights in China
Great Britain protested against tho activities OF
tho Federal company In China. claiming that
tho Marconi company enjoyed monopoly
thorc. Japan and Donmark protested In behalf
OF other companies
In his reply to these protests Secretary
IIuGhc. sezcs tho occasion TO cnuncate the old
Hay doctrine OF the open door He said:
at Ia the purpose Of this government
neither to participate nor To acquicsoc I'm
any arrangement which might purport to
establish In favor OF foreign Interests any
superiority OF rights with respect 70 COM
mcrcial or economic development in tho
designated regions Of the territories of
China or which might seek to create any
such monopoly or preference as would cN-
CludC other nationals from undertaking
any legitimate trade industry or from
participating with ia" chinese government
in any category of public ontorprisc.'
Admirable indeed. Tho United Statcs frowns
on any system Of piracy In helpless China
gardlcss Of who 1t s that undertakes It or tho
contract which may have been forced in order
to validate II.
After knowing this much concerning tho
Hughes policy It is lesr, difficult to understand
Japan's reluctance to submit "fr eastern qucs-
tions" to the forthcoming disarmament confer
cncc. Japan would like to rely altogether on
tho terms OF Lansing -lshi treaty. Tho new nd-
mlnir ration at Washington Ignores that treaty
altogether. That appears 10 be the crux Of tho
matter

barometer of Public Opinion
l. Ice Too Iiighp


Editor world Several Of my Tulsa friends
nave written mc asking my opinion regarding
IN" controversy between the city and the ice
companies relative to the present prI,c OF ice in
Tulsa.
For many years Tulsa enjoyed the benefit OF
IN" low price paid FOR fuel 10y her Ice factories.
the iiic" OF gas to such plants being 3 cents per
luuO ca. IT., and one ~ the plants under con-
tract paying only cents This enabled the ice
plants to dispose OF their produce at prices
much lower than any other city in the south.
The advance Of Eus over 5000 and 1000 20,
respectively, To the plants, naturally brought a
very substantial Increase In the cost Of manu-
factur", regardless OF increase ia all other opor
ating supplies and expenses.
Tho cost of delivery has also increased to a
large extent. No longer are competent delivery
men To De had nt from 81 to $3.50 per day
ana probably never Will again. as | think labor
has always been uuderpaid. Forage, shOcing
harness and wagon repairing and other expenses
are stu far IN excess Of prc-war prices, but tho
greatest cost Is the tremendous expense brought
about by several companies operating over the
same territory, duplicating not only their operat-
ing expenses but also their investments in equip
mCut.
The organization of "A city delivery company.
all parts of the city, doing away with the cnor-
nous expense incurred by the operation of sew
eral separate delivery systems Is, | think, the
only permanent solution for Tulsa's securing
"a cheaper Ice price. Nearly all of our large
cities have been forced to resort to such a plan,
ana IN all of them II has proved success.
Very truly,
