Cromwell, who changed his first
name from Elwood to John, believes
the public likes attractive names, and
it was he who first suggested that

that rather difficult name.

Cromwell says, do you think motion

There is to be an election for

BERLIN, Aug. is G.N.SD.-Ap-
pealing to President Roosevelt as

from the White House itself, he
said-Grover Cleveland Bergdoll
today made a new offer" to re-
turn to the United States and
plead guilty to draft evasion if
his case is "taken out of the

The departments Of Justice and
War in Washington have rejected
the pleas of his wife, who is now
in America with their children
for clemency, the once wealthy
CONSUMPTION dodger revealed.
Up to President
Bergdoll's new proposal was set
forth in a letter to International
News Service from his sanctuary
at Weinsberg, Wuerteemberg. He
wrote:
"SOme time ago my wife re-
ceived q very sympathetic let
ter from the White House,
which stated that she should
just carry her pardon plea to
the War and Justice Depart
mentS, and If both refused, she
should make a final plea to the
President, as he has the last
word in such q matter.
II just received a letter from
my wife, which stated that both
departments had refused Glenn
ency.
ut is now up to President
Roosevelt to make the final de-
ciSion in the case, and in this
connection I hereby make q
new offer:
II will surrender to the Fed
eral authorities in Philadelphia
and plead guilty to draft eva
sion (which involves q penalty
of one year Imprisonment plus
$4,000 fine), providing that the
findings Of the cOurt-martial are
vOided and my case is taken out
of the hands Of the military,
and my family Is permitted to
reside permanently in the United

WANTS SCHOOLING
"The main reason for my Of
fer is the fact that would like
to send my children to school
in September. Their education
has been sadly neglected to
date. because / always felt that
President Roosevelt would par
don me, and l could send them
to school in America"
II therefore make the above
offer. If it is accepted, 1 will

for America"

Regulations of the 1000 million
dollar work relief setup will block
Until at least next spring carrying
out more than one-third OF the
1000 million-dollar highway i'm
provement and grade crossing
elimination program.
This was learned today as
records of the work relief offices
revealed only a partial program
for one State, Michigan, has gone
through the mill of organization
that requires no less than seven
approvals before funds are made
available to begin actual work.
The program for one other
State, Alabama, is now going
through the numerous processes,
while three or four others, may
meet approval by September l.
Winter to Halt Work
But by that time the weather
will enter into the program, cut
ting off practically all highway
and grade-crossing elimination
work for the winter in all but
the Southern States. And these
States have been allotted only
about IS per cent Of the total
road funds.
This means that 260 thousand
dollars of the highway and grade
crossing funds will lie dormant
until spring, when they can be
thrown into the hopper to provide
work for the unemployed. High
way work in most of the northern
States does not begin until April
or May.
While Thomas H. Macdonald,
Ghiet of the Bureau of Roads, de-
clined to discuss the situation,
records Of the bureau revealed
that only Michigan and Alabama
programs have been approved
there. The Alabama projects are
pending before the Works Allot-
ment Advisory Board.
New Procedure
One of the highway department.
chief engineers said:
"The new regulations require
an entirely new procedure in
the department.. State highway
departments have to find pro-
iectS that will provide work for
the emplOyableS from the relief
rolls. The projects have to be
easily accessible to centerS Of un-
employment.
"While the highway depart
ment is exempt from the S1.140
per man per year requirement,
the main purpose still is to pro-
vide employment for those on
relief.
"ThiS has necesSitated a very
careful selection of projects.
with the result that only a few
States have their programs in
preSentabIe FORM"
The programs first have to re-
ceive approval of the State high
way departments, then the Blu
reau of Public Roads. No. 3 step
is approved by the Works Prog
ress Administration, headed by
Harry L. Hopkins.

Vigilance Of Veterans
Safeguards Our Liberty

The folloqOing tribute by William Randolph Hearst
to Amerca Ueterans read last night by Judge
Martin De FRIES at celebration of Manila Day BY
Iona Beach Camp, No. OF, u. s. NJ. T., held in
american Legion Hall, Long Beach, Cal1::
To the Spanish American War Veterans:
MOST wars are wars of oppression.
4A Some are wars of liberation.
1t is to the glory of our country that it has
fought to make men free.
The war in Cuba was war of liberation, war
to relieve oppressed peoples from the calling yoke
of despotism.
The men who fought in that war added to the
fame and honor of our nation.
They showed what courage and righteous
cause can do for the good of the world
They served their country we'll in war; and they
have since served it we'll in peace.
They have stood firm against the enemy without
the gates and the enemy within.
THEY are wagng war for freedom today
Il freedom of action freedom of speech, freedom
of thought. freedom of religious conviction.
They are battling Loyalty and admirably every
day for the preservation of American institutions
and the retention of the rights and liberties of
free people,
They are fighting to keep our blessed land free
from the age old errors and evils of countries
across the seas.
They are striving to keep out of our politics and
out of our lives the class hatred, the religious in
tolerance, the cruel expressions and prosecutions
which make miserable slaves of so many peoples of
foreign lands.
They are struggling to keep the fools and the
knaves, who have been allowed into our bound
aries, from bringing in with them the contamina-
ton of tyrannies which our fathers, when they
came to this country, hoped they had forever left
behind them.
The veterans of our wars are today the strong
est defense which our great nation has, not only
against invasion by foreign army but against
the insidious penetration into our politics and econ
omies, into our schools and into our homes, of
forei gn ideas and systems subversive of our Amer
lean institutions and our American liberties.
We know that eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty"
Once vigilance is relaxed liberty is lost
1t is our veterans who stand constant guard
over our liberties.
IT IS our veterans who present an unbroken
front against foreign foes and foreign infamies
It is our veterans who protect us, and what is
more important our children, and what is more i'm
portant still, our liberties from enemies abroad
and traitors at home.
All honor to our veterans.
We love them for their heroism and their pa
triotism, and may their fine fight to protect their
people and their country from attack or betrayal
end as always in glorious victory.
