BergdolL, Dead or Alive, ai
?? ?*
Publishing the list of slackers from ch
military service during the war may &
accomplish something. At least it di
will be satisfying to the men who cr
served honorably and heroically while P'
their fellowmen were hiding in the
swamps, or worse, behind mountains w
of kale. There are intimations that P*
this will be done, but all this can be ca
vBc taken with a grain of salt until the fe
presses are rolling over the names. ?<
Strenuous efforts will be made to pre- a1
vent the pursuance of such a plan, w
This is to be expected. d<
The government, rather than deal m
collectively with the tens of thousands pi
of men who wilfully avoided the ser- b
vice, made an example of Grover th
Cleveland Bergdoll. There can no al
denial of this fact. It is true on its D
face value. Not that Bergdoll did not of
deserve to be made an example of.
because he is contemptible a piece of m
humanity as ever breathed free Am- g<
erican air, but he was pushed to the he
centre of the stage while others were ly
permitted to hide behind the screens, N
perhaps to satisfy the public cry for
justice, and his escape naturally
brought forth volumes of righteous
pro testa
Now, since the question of returning
him from Germany has been n<
brought up, the officials in Washing- "
ton are discussing plans in the most
serious tones. They are holding back
for investigations to be completed.
The Louisvile Courier-Journal dis- 05
cusses the matter very frankly: w
t "How long is it going tp be bpfore 111
we show this fellow he caA't pull that ^
stuff in any country?" (This propmt- ^
ed by Bergdoll's boast to his friends w
in Germany when the two Americans
who attempted to kidnap him were 31
sentenced. "We will show these guys cthey
can't pull that stuff in this coun- c?
try," he said.) "We know where he ai
is?we have known it for months;
why dont we get him? Even the
lawyers for the defense in the case ^
last week were employed, not by the al
United States, but by the American n'
Legion. w
M *We are going to get Bergdoll ^
if it is possible to get him,' says Secretary
Weeks. In this instance there
should be no IF in the secretary's ?
lexicon. We can get Bergdoll and '
we should get him without any IFs
or BUTS. It is not a time when any
red tape should be allowed to obstruct w
^ as. We are at war with Germany; bz
we have an army in Germany; this f?
infamous and defiant renegade is in
Germany. Secretary Weeks should
take IF out of his vocabulary and put A
GO in its place. Failing to get Bergdoll
otherwise! we should go get him, ?
de?.d or alive." *
rhe whole country is crying, "Get jf
B<;rgdoll!" So why not get him? Who %r
trhpfhpr Head nr alive? It is 5(

Aid for Disabled Service Men.. <
The American l egion is agarn show- ?
ing itself in the right light. It is Jf
largely responsible for tfie general ?
movement to better conditions for the 5!
wounded, sick and disabled ex-service Si
men of America. The legion through %
the thousands of posts in the United ?
States has hunted out thousands o JF
cases of men who have not been able JF
to have their claims heard; others 51
whose claims have been presented to yj
the various bureaus in Washington J
hut who did not receive any satisfac- &
tion until the legion got behind the ?
matter; still other veterans who were
entitled to the medical treatment but C
did not know how to go about getting 5(
it These cases ha-- c been taken up and %
adjusted by the legion. Many men
who have worried for months over JF
fheir plight have been looked after and ?
given that which they had a right to 5?
expect from the government?namely, $
^jjust consideration.
President Harding's special commis- %
sion has recommended that all agen- JF
cies at work for the good of disabled ?
man Ko nlared under one head. This ^
lias been advocated by the legion for a 54
long time. Col. Galbraith, national i
commander, is one of the President's
commission and no doubt had a great Jy
deal to do with framing the recommen- Jw
dations presented to the chief execu- w!
ve. Charles G. Dawes, the chairman, 5j
an overseas veteran and fully ap- S
eciates the drplorabe ronditions %
*hieh have existed for some time. Mr. X
Dawes was on Gen. Pershing's staff J
ind more recently caused a sensa- j?
tion by his vigorous denunciation of #
the men of "big words and little Si
deeds" who stayed on Capitol Hill and 5
fought the administration while men X
who are now ill and need assistance X
were battling night and day to pre- ?
sere the honor of the Lniled stales,
Gen. Dawes, when made chairman of $1
the special corrtnission, went after the J
matter in a way which was gratifying \
to the fighting man. His first ruling Jf
was that the commission was not i?.- ?
terested in petty details but was ?
. .^^.^Uitally interested in doing something $<
X" ^for the disabled men. The commis- J(
sion did not linger over the hearings. &
^tlureau chiefs were called in and told JT
*to state their views on the subject and ?
tell why it is that the former soldier, ?
sailor 01 marine is unable to get any $<
satisfaction while in pursuit ot th? ^
d which congress promised. The:
ficials were held to the text by tt
lairman and in the space of a fe
lys the whole matter was gone int
scussed by the commission and coi
ete recommendations placed in tl
resident's hands.
The commission has done its woi
ell. It is now up to congress 1
ovide the necessary machinery I
irry the recommendations into e
ct. First of all the branches of tl
>vernment dealing with disabled me
e to be consolidated under one hea
ho is to be accountable to the Pres
;nt and not to two or three depar
ent chiefs. When this is done it
obable that a chse can be carrit
:fore the proper person and som<
ling definite done within a reasoi
>le time. With r. man like Gener,
awes or Col. Galbraith at the hes
the Veteran's Service Associatic
e wounded and neglected ex-servi<
en could renew their hope in tl
>odness of the goemment. Let i
>pe that the congress acts as promp
as the commission.?Charlestc
