Trinity Rector
Raised to Place
OF Late Bishop
Rev. DR.. Manning Consecrated
As Tenth Head of Protes-
tant Episcopal Diocese
OF New York.

New York, May II. - Rev. DIR.
William T. Manning, rector of his
toric Trinity church, was consecrated
10th bishop OF the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese of New York today,
and outlined his stand as successor
to the late Bishop Charles Sumner
Burch.
In the morning before an assem-
blage of prelates he was elevated to
his new station with colorful cere-
lnony in the Cathedral of St. John
the Divine and late today at the
1S6th annual convention of the New
York diocese he delivered his. first
address as bishop.
Outlining the church's attitude to.
ward industrial and social problems,
he said that the church must be
mot a mere sympathetic onlooker
but great loving influence and
power"
"But the church must include all
within her sympathy" he continued,
"and must minister to all alike. 1t
must sympathize with the problems
of the laborer and the wage Garner,
but it must recognize also the prob
lens of the capitalist and the en-
ployer and must call on all equally
for honesty, for right dealing for the
spirit of good will and brotherhood.
Wherever there is proved wrong
and injustice the church, of course,
may and must speak. But the
church is not commissioned or en-
dowed with special wisdom to pro-
nounce upon specific political and
economic problems.
Bishop Tuttle of Missouri, patri-
arch, who served as chief con-
secrator at the ceremony, was pres
ent at this afternoons session OF the
convention. He received an ovation
and occupied seat of honr.

positions pending final settlement of
the Upper Silesian question, which is
still pending in allied councils,
where it rested following the taking

pieces. A number of slightly
wounded French soldiers have been
brought here, and other wounded
Frenchmen have been brought in by

Ger who formerly held a high posi-
ton in the army has taken charge of
German operations in Silesia and
inter-alFed officials here fear, there
will be serious developments in the
next few days unless the Poles indi-
cate their intention to begin a with
drawal.

In this city there has been arriv-
ing a continuous stream of wounded
German refugees and the situation
has grown more intense. The Ger
man civilian guards have completed
their organization. The officers say
they, have sufficient rifles and will
feel safe if they can secure artillery.
Allied officials arriving here from
Kattowitz report the Poles held
them up and took them to Polish
headquarters. Eventually the Off

Votes to Agree to Allied
$ Reparation Demands.

London, May 11.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. )-Germany's uncondi-
tional acceptance of the entente
reparations was delivered to Prime
Minister Lloyd George by DR..
Sthamer, German minister to Great
Britain, here today.
Mr.. Lloyd George announced in
the House of Commons this after
noon Germany's complete acceptance
of all the allied demands, His an
nouncement was greeted with pro-
longed cheering.
DR.. Sthamer handed the German
reply to the prime minister at IL
o'clock this morning and Mr.. Lloyd
George Immediately telegraphcd the
news to all the governments con-
cerned.
Agree to Conditions.
Berlin, May 11.-(By The AS
sociated Press. .)-Germany's reply 10
the allied ultimatum accepting the
terms laid down by the allied su-
preme council in London is confined
to repetition of the exact terms OF
the decisions of the allies with re-
gard to guarantees, disarmament, the
trial of war criminals and financial
conditions. The reply states that
Germany adheres unconditionally to
these conditions.
This reply was sent to the allied
capitals after the cabinet, headed by
DR.. Julius Wirth, the new chancellor,
had received what amounted to a
vote of confidence in the Reichstag
last night, that body approving of the
ministry's decision to accept the al
lied ultimatum. The vote stood 221
to Us, giving the Wirth government
a margin of 46.
The votes cast for acceptance of
the entente terms were from the
centrist, democratic, independent So
cialists and majority socialist parties.
The nationalists, German peoples
party, communists and the Bavarian
peoples party were opposed to the
plans of the ministry, as announced
by the new chancellor. In his ad-
dress DR.. Wirth emphasized the tre-
mendous burden Germany would as
sumo in agreeing to meet the entente
terms, but insisted the alternative of
French occupation of the Ruhr val
ley would completely cripple Ger
many's industrial life and demoralize
the country.
Payment Due June 1.
The allied demands, in brief, were
payment by June / of the 100000
600 gold marks due on May l; trial
of German officers and soldiers ac-
cused of crimes during the war;
complete disarmament of the mill
tary, naval and aerial arms of Ger
nlany's service, and the ultimate
payment of $33,75O, 100000 in repara-
tons. The reparation obligation
would be paid in installments of ap-
proximately $4S5, 100000 per year, in
addition to rs per cent of the value
of Germany's exports.
1t has been indicated that repre-
sentations would be made in DR..
Wirth's answer to the entente that
compliance with the disarmament
clauses of the councils ultimatum
might be attended by danger, espe-
cially on the eastern frontiers, where
the Poles have engaged in serious
insurrection with the intention OF
taking possession of Upper Silesia

Guard Tells
OF Escape
Of Be:rgdoll
Sergeant O'Hare Says He Did
Not Know of SPOT of
Gold" Until After Pris.
oner Had Fled.
Had No Written Orders

Washington, May lin giving an
account of the escape OF Grover
Bergdoll, Serg. John O'Hare, in
command Of the escort which started
out with Bergdoli for the mountains
of Maryland, told the house investi-
eating committee today that he had
never heard word about the buried
pot of gold until long after the
prisoner had fled
O'Hare was positive that when he
started out for the mountains, the
only instructions he received from
Col. John E. Hunt, his superior, was
to proceed with the prisoner to
Hagerstown, get some money from
bank. take it to another bank at
Philadelphia and return to the oar-
racks.
There were no written orders ex-
cept to stop at North Philadelphia,
meet the late d. Clarence Gibboney,
Bergdolfs lawyer, and thereafter be
guided by what Gibboney said, the
witness declared with some emphasis.
O'Hare declared he wanted to hand
cuff his prisoner. but that Hunt re-
fused.
Stop at Attorneys Order.
1t was by Gibboney's order, he
said, that the party halted at Phil
adelphia, went for long automobile
ride, with Bergdoll driving, visited
burlesque show and stopped at the
Bergdoll home. from which the
prisoner escaped.
The sergeant told how Bergdoll,
who had evaded the draft for two
years, was sent from Governors
Island in the uniform of an enlisted
man, with a hat-cord indicating he
belonged to the infantry; how he
sat in the train from New York to
Philadelphia without uttering word
and chewing tobacco all the while.
He told of various moves, up to
the moment when Bergdoll walked
into bathroom to answer the tele-
phone. He was never seen after
that and, the sergeant said he does
not know how he got out. Except
for that moment, he declared, the
prisoner was never out of his sight.
Cross-eyamination did not bulge
the witness from his statement that
he was in ignorance OF any plan to
dig for buried gold, the object for
which the prisoner was released in
custody of O'Hare and York, an
other sergeant.
Bergdoll at Ease.
Mrs. Emma c. Bergdoll the moth
er Of the draft ssader, and James
Rofnig, who vas sent to Washington
to get $l0s,00O in gold from the
treasury, were around the Bergdoll
home all the time, tO'Hare said.
When not shooting pool or reciting
Shakespeare, Grover, he added, was
walking about perfectly at ease.
When Mrs. Bergdoll learned her
son had gone, she was greatly ex-
cited, said O'Hara. The woman
and Romig, he added, tried to per-
suade him not to worry, assuring
him Bergdoll would be back. As the
guards were being entertained, a
bottle of gin mysteriously appeared,
O'Hare testified, but he did not
touch it, as he had not taken drink
in 20 years. York, however, drank
but was warned by O'Hare to let it
alone. fE
Tears filled the eyes OF the little
sergeant as he told of his return to
the island, empty handed. with barely
enough money to pay his fare and
of his plea that he be permitted to
tell his wife of his misfortune be-
fore being locked up. He was tried
later by court-martial and acquitted.
