Erwin Starts for Fort Leaven
worth for Four-Year Ter,m
With Thirty Others
0
m
IS HANDCUFFED TO ONE
Erwin Bergdoll, sentenced draft
dodger, left Governors Island, New
York, nt noon today, on tho first leg of
his Journey to Fort Leavenworth, Kan..
where ho will serve the tprm of four
years imposed by army court-martial.
There was little of tho dramatic
about Erwin's departure. Prisoners
are sent frequently from Fort Jay. at
Governors island, to tho mllitnry prison
at Fort Leavenworth, and the ceremony
of their transfer lias lost all Its novelty.
i-rwin was one of u batch of thirty
men sent to Knnsns. Ills last few
minutes nt Governors Islnnd wcro hu
miliating, hs he was searched from top
to toe, as were all thp other prisoners.
Last week, necording to Captain
Samuclson, who is in charge of the dis
patch of prisoucis from the islnnd, n
sergeant about to go to Leavenworth
for life for having killed n comrndo in
France -was found to hnve n thin sow
hidden in his shoe. The search always
is rigorous, moro so since the discovery
of tho saw on tho "lifer."
After he had been searched, Erwin
was handcuffed to a short-term man.
Bergdoll, sentenced to four years, .Jk
regarded as a "long-termpr. ' It is
customary to handcuff mpn .entenced
to long terms to men whoso terms are
brief, on the theory that a man who
is soon to get out, nnvliow, would not
jeopardize Ills chance by trying to es
cape. Army "Chow" Rations
Bergdoll, with the others, was givon
thrpo days' rations, consisting largely
of hardtack nnd "tinned wlllio" the
"army chow" which ho would hnve
pnten before this had ho not fled
the draft. ANo eaph man got twpnty
ono cents a dnv allowance for coffee.
Erwin took with him some fruit and
candy left over from yesterday, when
his mother made Iter farewell visit.
Promptly nt 1 o'clock. Now York
time, or noon heio. the thirty prisoners,
under guard of Lieutenant M. D. Barn
dollcr. two sergennts nnd six privates,
all armed, were put on two hip motor
trucks. Thp trucks were put on the ferry and
taken to the Battery, New York, where
they immediately went on another ferry
for Iloboken. At Iloboken thev wore
nut on a special car attached to a
Delnwnre. Ln knwannn and Western
train, which will tnko them to Buffalo.
Thp trip to Fort Lonvenworth will
occupy most of three days.
From Buffnlo the special car will be
taken to Chicago, nnd thence to Kan
sas Cltv, Kansns, where Fort Leaven
worth is located. Thp thirty prisoners
nru on n special day coach, which will
hp their traeling homo clear to the
fort.
.Mother Is Indignant
Mis. Emma Bergdoll, mother of the
two draft dodgers, Grover and Erwin,
did not attempt to see her son ngaln
beforo he left today. Sho paid him a
long visit yesterday weeping before she
left nnd declaring angrily thnt "tills Is
what comes of being decent and giving
yourself up."
She seemed to feel that Erwin wns
being punished more for Grover's
escnpades than for his own orfme. She
tried in vain to get permission for him
to rcmuln In the East for another month
to nttend to some business matters.
Erwin wns not allowed to converse
with any one as tho prisoners were
being got ready to go. It is ngnlnst
tho rules for prisoners to talk on their
way to prison, oeti among themselves.
The enforced silence did not seem to
bother Erwin, however, as ho has been
of a silent habit pver since h sur
rendered. He did not seem to be de
pressed. Erwin's sentence wns approved bv
General Bullard. commander of the
Department of the East, this week. lie
was seutenced to four jears for deser
tion in time of war, but by good con
duct will havn to servo something less
thau three cais.

While Polish troops onthe Warsaw

its peace Hjrms to the Soviet govern

said the Poles had captured 15,000

According to a wireless dispatch
from Moscow today, the Polish' de
mands, presented yesterday at the sec

the complete and inviolable indepen
dence of the Polish republic with no
luterferencc in its internal affairs.
M. Dombskl, head of the Warsaw ff
delegation, said Polnnd did not declare
war. He asserted his government had
land merely to attain the free, decbde,. !&
of the peoples thennelves regtfrdlnK1 h

in Polnnd.
M. DanishpvHky. chairman of the

responsibility for the bloody conse

on the Polish delegates.
