CLOSE VIGIL
FOR BERCDOLL'
IS KEPT HERE.
Noted Draft Evader
Reported Aboard
German Steamer
Jupiter.

With eyes turned< eagerly toward
the broad Gulf OF Mexico, day and
night watches at the entrance Of
Pensacola Bay are keeping constant
vigil for the German steamship Jupi-
ter. on which Grover Cleveland Berg
doll, millionaire draft evader, is re-
ported to be attempting TO slip back
into the United States incognito.
Unless the Jupiter encountered
boisterous weather she should ar
rive at Pensacola not later than Tues
day. Reported to have sailed from
Fayal. Azores, December 10, she has
already consumed the usual time for
such a voyage under ordinary weather
conditions.
Heavy gales which have been re-
ported on the Atlantic for the past
week, however, may delay the ar
rival Of the steamer. Her arrival will
be problematicai if she was caught
in one of the gales.
Like a hungry cat upon a mouse,
authorities pounced aboard the Ger
man barkentine Vedder Victor late
yesterday when she showed the Ger
man flag in hope of finding the noted
Stacker. The search was unfruitful.
The barkentine was from Dutch West
Indies.
If Bergdoll originally boarded the
Jupiter while she was at a German
port, he has been on his clandestine
voyage for more than a month it is
certain. according 10 J. Garriga, local
agent for J. Carreras-Ferrer who
have the vessel chartered.
The Jupiter sailed from Cardiff,
England, Nov. 30, Mr.. Garriga said
last night. He received a message, he
said, 10 that effect. A cargo Of coal
was carried from Cardiff to FayaI,
where it was unloaded and where j.
Carreras-Ferrer chartered her to come
to Pensacola for cargo Of lumber
for Spanish ports. From Fayal the
Jupiter is reported TO have sailed for
Pensacola December 13.
Local authorities have been in
st-ucted from Washington to keep a
close watch for the notorious draft
evader, and that he is thought TO be
aboard the Jupiter.
Capt. John J. NIaher, commander
OF Fort Barranacs. has agreed to
send the Albert Jenkins, an army ves-
sci. to meet the Jupiter in the gulf.
Soldiers and department OF Justice,
and customs officials will be aboard,
OlllCldlS cL SFC4S IOA VA bOtlA 1A'N
Atlantic and Pacific seaboards are
watching for BergdolI. Dispatches sew
eral days ago from Seattle reported
that the draft evader had been seen,
it was believed, there.
Other wild reports of Bergdool have
circulated. 1t has been a hard time
On young b1ond-headed tramps travel
irg about the country on rods and
bind baggage since Bergdou was re-
ported slipping back into the United
States. One was arrested several days
ago at Quincy and he is now. being
held in the Tallahassee jail until his
tlngerprints can be compared with
Be-gdolTs in Washington.
The Jupiter will be boarded immed-
iteIy upon her arrival at the entrance
Of Pensacola bay. Time Of her arrival
is uncertain.

BRIEFS FILED BY
GOVERNMENT IN
BOOZE SHIP CASE
Insists Congress Has Control
Over Liquor on U. S.
Boats at Sea.

WOSHINGTON. Dec 30.@Chaueng
ing the Jurisdiction of the supreme
court to consider the appeals brought
l.Y foreign steamship companies from
the prohibition ruling of Judge Hand
at New York. and insisting that the
authority of congress extend TO con-
troll over Intoxicating liquors on Amer
lean ships on the high seas, the fed
eraI government today filed with the
court two briefs which will be used
as the basis for its oral argument next
week when the appeals are reached,
With regard TO the proceeding in
stituted by the foreign lines, the gov
ernment declared it had not consented
TO be sued, and that suit against 1t
could not be sustained without its
consent. Also questioned the right
of the foreign companies to bring the
appeals, insisting that they had other
remedy at law open to them. and had
not presented a cause for action.
The appeals Of the American lines
were not challenged on the grounds
of jurisdiction, but the government
insisted that If congress could pro-
hibit American ships from including
intoxicating liquor in their cargo it
could also prohibit them from having
such liquor IN thelr sea stores for
use by passengers while on the high
seas. There is no distinction in law
between the cargo and sea stores. the
brief held, so far as exercise of au-
thority by the United States is con-
cernsd.
IN its brief dealing with foreign
ships. the government declared that
any difficulty the foreign steamship
companies might experience in OBJ
tanning adequate crews by the bar
ring OF intoxicating liquors IN Amer
lean ports could be readily obviated
by the payment OF higher wages. 1t
was insisted that the prohibition
against bringing liquor within the
territorial jurisdiction OF the United
States deprived the companies Of no
rights under existing treaties.

The outward visible sig9 was sean
in the changed character Of the ia

to hammer out demands on a con-
ference anvil and send them in tbs

in spite Of the peace treaties, were
still treated as enemies-the new
method was to discuss on equal terms
conditions Of appeasement.
Germany. having no fleet in the
Pacific, was not invited to the wash
ington conference. and Russia was
excluded for other reasons. But az
Cannes Germany was represented, ana
at Genoa both Germany and Russia
had their delegates.

The year 1922 witnessed a genuine
struggle on the part of the nations to
establish peace conditions in the
world. During 1919-1920 and 1921,
the Tarantella was still in their
blood" The mad war dance was
still duiverIng in their limbs, and
they could not rest. The crackle of
musketry was incessant and made
needful repose impossible. There was
not a country in Europe or Asia
whose troops were not firing shots
in anger at some external or internal
foe. America rang down the fire
curtain until this hysteTical frenzy
had burnt itself out.
Was she right?
1t is too early yet to give the ans
wer The case is but yet part un-
heard'-many witnessing years whose
evidence is relevant have not yet en-
tered the box. It will. therefore, be
some time before the verdict Of his
tory as TO her attitude can be defN

But 1922 testifies to many strilIin &
symptoms of recovering sanity on the
part OF the tortured continents. Be

shrieks Of clawing nations rent the
European night and made it hideous.
One distinguished general declared
that at one period, I think it was the
year of grace 1920, there We're thirty
wars, great and small, proceeding
simultaneously.
Who was to blame?
Everybody and nobody. Mankind
had just passed through the most
nerve shattering experience in ell its
racking history, and was not respon-

Young men had for years marched
through such a pitiless rain of terror
