SEARCH FOR BERGDOLL'S AID
Legion Is Endeavorlng to Find Man
Alleged to Have Helped Stacker
Each Germany.

The American Legion is searching
for the man who is reported to have
aided Grover @. Bergdoll, notorious
Stacker, in his escape from Canada to
Germany, according to Lemuel Bolles,
national adjutant of the Legion, who
said that the Legion Is especially con-
cerned in that Bergdol is alleged to
have obtained his passport in Winni
peg by using an American Legion but.
ton and the army discharge papers Of
Legionnaire.
Mr.. Bolles has appealed to the De-
partment of Justice to ascertain the
facts in the case and proposes, If the
report is true, to see that the man
is apprehended, expelled from the Lee
gion and brought to a speedy trial.
Bergdoll has been the target of nu-
merous attacks Of the American Le-
gion. When he escaped" from prison
a reward of $500 was offered for his
capture and a number of Legion posts
in many parts Of the country took
similar action to bring about his cap
ture. One post adopted resolutions
urging the President to demand the
release of the two Americans who tried
to recover Bergdoll In Germany

IN BEHALF OF DISABLED MEN
Bentley Post at Cincinnati Regarded
as Model for Systematic
Program for Work.

Robert Il. Bentley Post of the Amer
lean Legion at Cincinnati, o., has at
! tracted national attention because OF
Its activities in behalf of sick and dis
abled veterans of the World war. It's
systematic program for work is regard
ed by Legion officials as a model to
posts.
The work has been assigned to four
committees: for disqualification and
compensation, hospital entertainment,
sick members and employment.
The disqualification and compensa-
ton committee takes care of all cases
IN which eX-service men seek to obtain
their rights from the government. Its
| duties are to direct tile applicant to
the proper federal authorities and to
follow up the case. The Red Cross has
aided the post committee by stationing
worker at the club rooms at all times
to handle emergency cases.
Visits to each Cincinnati hospital
where veterans are lodged are made
at least twice q month by the hospital
entertainment committee, which notes
| the general condition of the hospitals
and provides entertainments for the
patients.
| The sick committee visits all ex-serv-
Ice mHn in their homes as soon as the
cases are brought to the attention Of
the post members.
A free employment bureau for all
veterans is operated at post headquar-
ters by the employment committee.
The Women's Auxiliary of the post
has assumed large share of the work.
This organization has general chair
man of hospital work with sub-chair-
man for each hospital.
AT the General hospital complete
dinner is set once month. Cigarettes,
candy, fruit and cakes arg provided
weekly at all hospitals, as are maya
zines and books. At Rockhill the men
we're supplied with piano and yictrola,
motion picture protector, knitting
machines, pajamas, sweaters, caps,
socks and other comforts. The Auxil-
larry women have made sheets, pile vs.
and bed sacks for the patients. Each
man is interviewed at each visit and
personal favors are executed whenever
possible.
For the benefit of those men who are
socationally handicapped the Auxiliary
conducts a shop in the post club rooms
where disabled men are employed In
the manufacture of wicker, bead and
mat work. The articles are marketed
by the women and the proceeds are
turned over to the veterans.
All caskets Of ex-service men pass
ing through Cincinnati have been deco
rated by the Leg IN women. Families
of Cincinnati men who died in the sery-
ice are visited and sympathy extended

had come upon the mountain world
his own strange feeling of numbness,
Of endless soaring through Infinite
spaces. But he was mountain man,
and that meant he was schooled be-
yond all things, to keep his self-con-
troll. He made himself remember, Yes
-he had been cutting wood on the
hillside, and the shadows had been
long. He had been wondering wheth-
err or not they should go down to the
valleys.
He remembered now: the last blow
and the rolling log. He tried to turn
his head to look up to the Hill.
He found himself wholly unable to
do it. Something wracked him in his
neck when he tried to move, But he
did glance down. And yes. he could
turn in this direction. And he saw
the great tree trunk lying twenty feet
below h, wedged In between the
young pines
He was sur. 1unded by broken frag-
ments of limbs, and il was evident
that the rec had NOT struck him a
full blow. The limbs had protected
him to some extent. No man Is of
such mold as to be crushed under the
solid weight Of the trunk ana live to
remember it. He wondered If this
were the frontier az death-the gray
ness that llngeref over him. He
seemed 10 be soari-g.
He brought himself back to earth
and tried again to remember. OF
course, the twilight had fallen. 1t had
been late afternoon when he had cut
the tree. His hand stole along his
body; and then, for the first time, a
hideous sickness came upon him, His
hand was warm and wet when he
brought it up The other hand he
couldn't stretch at all.
The forest was silent around him,
except bird calling somewhere near
the house--a full voice, rich and clear,
and It seemed to him that II had a
quality of distress. Then he recognized

INTO his car and drive down 10 the
valleys. The fall roundup would soon
be completed. Bill would return for a
few DAYS from the valleys with new
equipment to replace the broken light
rg SYSTEM on the car, and they could
avoid the bitter cold and snow that
Lennox had known so long. He
chopped at great log and wondered
what would suit him better-tbe COM
fort and safety of the valleys or the
rugged glory of the ridges.
But at that instant, the question of
whether or not he would winter on the
Divide was decided for him. And an
instant was all that was needed. For
the period of one breath he forgot to
be watchful-and certain dread
Spirit that abides much In the forest
saw its chance. Perhaps he had lived
too long In the mountains and grown
careless of them: an attitude that Is
usually punished with DEATH He had
Just feIIed a tree, and the trunk was
still attached to the stump by strip
Of bark TO which a little of the wood
adhered. He struck a furious blow at
1t with his ak.
He hadn't considered that the tree
lay on a steep slope AS the blade
fell, the great trunk simply seemed to
leap. Lennox leaped too, in frenzied
effort to save his life; but already the
leafy bows, like the tendrls of some
great amphibian, had whipped around
his legs He fell struggling; and
then a curious darkness streaked
with flame. dropped Gown npon him.
An hour later he found himself lying
on the still hillside, knowing only
great wonderment. It first his only
impulse was to go back to sleep. He
didn't understand the grayness that
