CANADA AFTER BERGDOLL.
U. S. May Get Fugitive Through
Aid of Great Britain and
Dominion's Courtesy.

Washington April Sit Is under
stood that the British Ambassador has
been notified by the State Department
that Grover G. Bergdoll violated the
Canadian passport regulations and Brit
ish regulations in making his escape
from this country through Canada to
Germany in his effort TO avoid the pen
alties for evading the American draft.
The matter could not be called directly
10 the attention Of the Canadian Gov
ernment, with which the United States
has no direct diplomatic relations, but
must be handled through the British
Government.
1t is considered probable that the
Canadian Government may request the
British Government to direct its Am
bassador at Berlin 10 demand OF the
German Government deportation OF
Bergdoll under the Anglo-German
treaty OF extradition. and it would be
possible for Canada. If Bergdoll is de-
ported and conveyed to Canada, to sur
render him to the United States, as a
friendly act, instead of furnishing him
for passport regulation violations.

missioners will name the members of
this corps and give them authority. by
