BERGD0LL
Legionnaire Explains Motives
in Arranging Return OF
Draft Dodger.
BY MAI. GARLAND w. POWELL,

BY MAI. GARLAND w. POWELL,
National Director Of the Ameri.
caniSm Commission of the Ameri-
can Legion.
So much has been said about
the American Legion trying to. get
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll back to
the United States to serve a five
year sentence for evading the draft
laws during the world war. and
the conditions under which It is
proposed that he return, simply
wish to state briefly the plans and
conditions under which the Legion
proposes to bring him back.
The Legion had three things In
mind when 1t planned Bergdoll's
return. First, Americanism. The
Legion ~alieveS that one who has
violated the laws Of this nation,
especially during war time, should
be properly punished.
The Legion, in the second place,
has been accused Of having hand
in every attempt that has ever been
made to knidnap Bergdoll. We have
never, either directly or indirectly,
had anything to do with these at.
tempts. After all of these accuse.
tions attributed to the Legion, 1t
was decided to make an effort to
settle the matter once and for all
time, by endeavoring to get Berg
doll back in a lawful and orderly
way as the preamble Of our con.
stitution directs.
The Legion, after investigating
believes that there were some who
aided and allotted Bergdoll to es-
cape. We desire to bring these
people before the bar Of justice to
receive the punishment due them.
Plans were worked out with the
cooperation Of a few responsible
