TERMS
REJECTED BY j. s.
Virtual Immunity Asked for
Return of Draft Evader

Promises that Grover Bergdoll will

plies with certain stipulated cond'-
tions, said to amount to virtual ini-
munity for him. have been made to
government officials by attorneys and
others speaking for the BergdoAsfam-

These offers the government has

enter no compromise agreement, but
must insist upon a free exercise of
their powers in the event the draft
evader ever is captured or returned to
American jurisdiction.
Officials declined today to tell what
terms had been asked by those in

that the offers had been received
since Mrs. Emma Bergdoll, mother
of the escaped man, returned to this
country recently from a visit in Ger

ULTIMATUM DELETED.
Chief British Objection Removed
by Poincare's Concession.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. November 2l.--The. Brit
ish governments final instructions to
Lord Crewe, the British ambassador
ri Paris, for handling the delicate
situation which during the past week
has threatened the existence of the
entente were forwarded to Paris
early today. Foreign office officials
expressed the hope that definite and
permanent beneficial results for the
entente itself and for the entente's
relations with Germany would be
achieved by the meeting of the coun-
ell of ambassadors in Paris this
afternoon.
The French willingness to meet the
British half way on the terms of the
allied note to be dispatched to Ger
many is said here to have been the
salvation of the situation, Premier
Poincare having given way on the
three chief points involved during the
negotiations between Parise and Lon
don, which terminated last night.
NJ. Poincare has assured the Brit
ish, in the first place. that the ulti-
Tnatum feature could be deleted from
the German note; secondly. that the
request for the expulsion of the ex-
crown prince from Germany could be
dropped, anu, tllTQlS, IndL no QeTnlCe
penalties were to be threatened i'm
mediately.
The British believe an allied note
along these lines will enable the Ger
man government to accept the stu
alton without endangering it's posi-
tion.
Whether Germany succeeds. as a
British spokesman put it today, in
maintaining her traditional role of
playing the fool" remains to be seen
when the moment comes for Berlin
