BERGER CONTINUES
 OWN TESTIMONY
Does Not Feel That America Had War Grievance
 Against Germany
By Associated Press

Chicago, January 3.-Victor l.. Berger, socialist congressman-elect from Milwau- kee, today finished his third day of tes- timony in defense of himself and four co-defendants, charged with conspiracy to violate the espionage act. Under cross examination he said he did not feel that the United States had war griev- ance against Germany and he had not been able to support the Presidents war attitude, because of what he termed ire quent changes in the stand of the execu- tive.
 Berger said that socialists were not opposed to war for self-defense, in ex- blaming his statement in speech that in case of a war with Japan the so- cialists would stand by America to the last ditch.
 The witness told of a speech delivered in 1916 advocating military preparedness. with public schools as centers for uni- versal military training. He said he be- lieved in armed peace.
 He repeated extracts of a speech he delivered in New York in 1917 in which he said:
 "The war was started by capitalists. It was fathered by the men in Lombard street and Wall street, and the issues are war babies. Every time there is talk of peace one of the war babies dies of fright. The plutocrats would rather have the Kaiser than real social democracy in Germany. The war Is not popular in the west. We have rubber stamp Con- gress which Is completely dominated by the national administration. Think of President Wilson sending Elihu Root to Russia to teach the people of that coun- try democracy!"
 Berger attempted to explain the cir cumstances under which he wrote the Ballots and Bullets article published in a Milwaukee paper in 1909. in which he urged workingmen to keep rifles and am munition at home for use in enforcing their rights.
 "The country was in great state of unrest at the time" said Berger. Both of the great political parties had refused to approve any progressive industrial re- forms demanded by the masses and there were strikes in many states. Working men were being shot down and the out look appeared dark. At that time it seemed to me that nothing would ever be accomplished by the ballot alone and expressed what was in my mind at the time by writing that article. The article was used against me in Milwaukee every time I ran for Congress"

SUGAR FOR INFLUENZA
Amount Contained in Bottled Soft
 Drinks Said to Be Helpful

"It has been pointed out by many prominent physicians that the stringent and restricted use of sugar is one of the reasons that the Spanish influenza gained such headway throughout the country, it being recalled also that in the terrible grippe epidemic of 1890 sugar had been used sparingly owing to high prices,' says current issue of the South ern Carbonator
 Sugar having such high percentage of easily assimilated carbohydrates, it's energy producing power helps the body to throw off and resist germs Most prom inent physicians recognize this fact, and many have recommended the drinking of bottled soft drinks, such as ginger ale and others, in the way of giving noursh- ment and strength to the body, through carbonatSd liquids, and when the pa tient is tc~ sick to partake of solid food.
 "At a recent bottlers' meeting held in Boston, the reporter made inquiry of sev eral of the prominent bottlers of soft drink beverages as to whether or not they had delivered any goods under doc tors prescription to the hospitals, and was surprised at the many instances where doctors not only recommended it, but where nurses were ordering it by the case"

SHERMAN OBJECTS
 ID CABLE NEWS OF PRESIDENTS VISIT.
Thinks Information Relative to Welfare of Soldiers Should Be Given
 Preference
By Associated Press.

Washington, January 3.-Senator Sher- man of Illinois, republican. criticized in an address today what he described as the use of transatlantic vables for the transmission of detailed reports of President Wilson's visit abroad while parents were anxiously endeavoring with little success to obtain information rela- tive to the welfare of their sons now in the American army overseas.
 q have no objection to this news.' he said, but T want mothers who lie awake nights to obtain information first as to whether their sons are dead, or in hospitals, and then the news.'
 Senator sherman referred to press dis patches which he said described in de- tail the interior of the Murat palace in Paris where the President and Mrs. Will son are staying and to accounts of re- captions in news matter credited to the Associated Press and other agencies.
 Senator Thomas of Coloroda said he was informed that much of this stuff had been prepared in advance by cores pondents.
 Senator Sherman asked the Colorado senator to make a personal investigation, but added that the Associated Press had reported these items as cablegramS and that on previous occasions he had found the Associated reports accurate and that 1t had verified matters that could not be verified from other sources During his speech Senator sherman referred to repeated failures on his part to obtain information through the war department relative to soldiers abroad and declared the navy department was the only place where he had found Thu man sympathy and prompt action"

MEN BEING PAID
 AS THEY ARRIVE
Despite Lost Data Payments Being Made to Troops Con-
 ing From Europe
By Associated Press

Washington, January 3.-Despite se- rious difficulties due to lost records and insufficient data, payments are being made to troops as they arrive from overseas and mo casual or other enlisted man from overseas who has a legitimate claim for pay need go without funds" said a statement to- night by the finance division of the quartermaster corps. It has been charged in Congress and elsewhere that soldiers were being returned to this country and discharged without having been given their pay.
 Finance officers are available" said the statement, "at every port of debarkation, at every cantonment, camp and headquarters and at every hospital and instructions are expllci; and comprehensive that if a soldier has no papers he is to be given a par tial payment on his own statement. and fnnal payment on his affidavit. In all cases so far as the record shows all discharged men are given their travel allowances which with reduction in railroad fares secured by the war de- partment. insures a comfortable jour- ney to their homes, while in most cases discharged men receive every penny which they claim is due them"
 The division announced that to date a total of s1,694, ,660 has been paid to officers, soldiers and soldiers de- pendents since the declaration of war. The division estimated that it will re- quire $1,257,941, ,000 to pay officers and soldiers for the remainder of the cur rent fiscal year, and should the Dent bill providing an extra months pay for discharged officers and men become a law, it is estimated that $153, ,O00,e0o additional will be needed.
 The quartermaster corps has exper- fenced difficulty in paying the men in France. the statement said, because the troops in most cases were hurried to training camps near the front while their baggage containing enlistment was available. AS the units were rapidly shifted about sometimes the baggage failed to catch up with them. To meet this condition pay cards were issued in July and pay books in No. vember. but it has been found, the statement said, that few of the casualS. wounded or sick, arriving from over- seas have either cards or books.
 Orders were issued overseas, the statement said, that no wounded or sick soldier should be permitted to go aboard the transport home unless pro- vided with all his papers so that ne might be paid upon arrival home and upon discharge. As the men were anx- ious to get home and az military policy dictated that they should be returned as soon as possible, the order was re- voked.

M 'AD00 TOLEAVE
 FOR CALIFORNIA

 Matter of Speculation
By Associated Press

Washington, January 3.-President Wilson's probable selection of a di- rector general of railroads to succeed Vim. G. McAdoo was still a matter cf speculation and doubt tonight among officials here MT. McAdoo now plans to leave for a vacation in California next Tuesday and unless the President cables his appointment before then, the director general will continue to exercise his functions. Already he has arranged to take with him to the west his railroad assistant, Oscar A Price, and a stenographer in preparation for work.
 The name of Winthrop NJ. Daniels, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, figured today in specu- lation over appointment of a new di- rector general, while Secretary Lane and Walker D. Hines. assistant dl- rectors general, also are frequently mentioned in the discussions.
 Some officials profess to believe that the President will not name a man closely connected with railroad opera tion or finance, but will prefer man who would view the railroads from the outside"

himself entirely to this sideline of his fathers business, eventually establish ing himself in London, taking commits sions from zoos and travelling circuses for wild animals. which he sent seamen to find as a profitable means of spend ing their time in foreign ports.
 He died in 1891 and was succeeded by his son, Albert Edward Jamrach, who lifted the work of wild animal buying and selling to the highest plane it has ever reached. He was a man of the fearlessness one would expect to find. Once, when a man eating tiger was be- ing transferred from the cage in which it had spent five months at sea into the cage in which it was to be delivered to his fathers stable, it escaped.
 Jamrach flung himself on the tiger and attempted to overpower it by jam ming his thumbs into opposite sides of it's windpipe.
