cLYNE SCORES BERGER.
Scathing Attack Made on Socialists
Riaht to House Seat.

Washington, Sept. 17.-Denouncing
Victor Berger as disloyal, accusing him
of completely with the I. w. W.. and
declaring that he swore falsely In an
affidavit seeking n change OF venue,
United States District Attorney Clyne,
Of Chicago, made an day argument
before the house committee investigat-
ing the right of the Milwaukee social
list to a seat in congress.
Il reached the conclusion that
Berger was guilty beyond all moral
doubt, leaving no ground debatable,
and that he was in sympathy with
Germany and was doing everything he
could to encompass the defeat of the
United States" asserted Mr.. Clyne IN
closing a scathing attack. cit GER
tairly would be the tragedy Of the
war to think that this man should De
seated in the congress of the United
states"
The proceedings were enlWencd by
frequent clashes between Mr.. Clyne'
Berger, and Henry +. Cochcms, OF
Milwaukee, attorney for Berger.
Mr.. Clyne's charge that Mr.. Berger
and the other defendants in thc trial
had sworn falsely that Judge Lands
had made certain statements showing
prejudice against all German Amer
leans in {. previous case was the coca
sion for one of a series Of heated col
loquies.
i won't have this fellow make me
out n Ierjurer," shouted Mr.. Berger.
Mr.. Clyne made a sharp retort. U.s.
ing the phrase, German sausage"
I'll let that CO." returned Mr..
Berger, angrily, but you can't make
me out a perjurer. I'm not afraid OF
you"
These men swore to something that
was false" continued My Clyne. Mr..
Johnson, one of their council, know
ing it was false, refused to swear to
II because he knew 1t would be the
foundation not only for prejury pro-
ceedings but for his disbarment."
Mr.. Clyne quoted at length from the
trial record to show the committee that
Judge Lands actually had made no
reflection upon all German Americans
in this country, but had accused a par
ticular defendant of descrediting that
class of people.
The Chicago district attorney quoted
the letter, introduced in the trial. writ
ter by Berger when contributing $40
to the /. w. w. defense fund and COM
mending the splendid spirit" Of that
organization.
MY attention was drawn to MT
Berger's activities at the opening OF
the war by some man who came to my
office" said Mr.. Clyne.

WHEN the SOLDIERS cYetREo.

Senator Reeds speech in the senate
brought out such demonstrations of
applause and wild cheering that the
presiding officer of the senate found
himself utterly unable to control
The galleries 1t appears were full of
returned soldiers who rose and
shouted their approval of the Mis-
souri, democratic senator's denial Of
President Wilson'S assertion that the
league Is greater than the senate
greater than any government" It was
in his pcroration that the irrepressihle
applause broke the senator's speech
when he said
Il decline to help set up any gov
ernmCnt greater than that established
by the fathers, hapJi2ed in the blood
of patriots from the lane of Lexing-
ton to the forest OF the Argonne, sane
titled by the tears of all the mothers
whose heroic sons went down to death
to sustain its glory and independence
the government of the United
States"
Applause had been hard to control
before this but the Amer!can!sm of
that utJerarcC swept the crwded gal
leries and the senate itself like a tidal
wave.
1t came after the senator had pro-
duced a copy of statement signed by
President Wilson. Lloyd George and
ClemenCeau which proved definitely
that those three understood and agreed
that Great Britain's voting strength in
the league council may and can be
double that of the United States as the
covenant stands.
1t is idle to say that the senate and
the galleries were swept off their feet
by the eloquence of the senator tho
the quotation above is fit to be en-
crossed side by side with Websters
vision of the flag and the American
republic in his reply to Hayne. What
brought those Americans to their feet
to cheer madly and uncontrollably was
the pure American patriotism of the
thought and purpose expressed. That
the returned soldiers should cheer
is simply elemental. They fought for
this government They believe in it..
If we talk with any enlisted man, and
the enlisted man Of the American
| army is a thoughtful and patriotic
citizen of this government, we shall
find nine out Of ten in complete agree
ment with Reed in his opposition to "a
greater government that the one they
| live under and that their companions
\ died for afield. The soldiers are opposed
to the covenant as it stands in practi-
cal unanimity. They do not care a
| continental about Reed. They do
| agree with his declaration of America
| first to Americans. They can not
agree to the idea Of a greater govern
ment to which the United States of
America shall look for orders and of
which it shall ask permission to con-
duct it's affairs.

It's a Car Not Pocketbook, Abe.

Last Thursday afternoon A. H,
Panzer came near meeting death
by being overcome with gas from
his automobile. He was driving in
the country, and feeling chilly he
closed the car up tight, not realizing
the danger he was subjecting him
self to. He felt drowsy but paid no
attention to it as he had been work
ing hard and thought it was from
being tired. He lost consciousness
and on coming to found his car in
the ditch, laying on it's side. Not
realizing just what had happened he
broke out one of the windows and
went through the opening. He soon
revived and when the car was in
spected it was found not to be in
jured in the least. When Mr.. Panzer
became unconscious the machine was
running at a low rate of speed and
on going off the road into the ditch
no damage resulted. 1t was a close
call for Gus and he says he will
never again close his car UP tight.

Slept on the March.

In an article, Sleep for the Sleep
less" in the Worlds Work the au-
thor quotes an eminent surgeon who
made study of sleep in the French
army as follows:
'In the retreat from Mons to the
Marine we had an extraordinary hu-
man experiment in which several
hundred thousand men secured little
sleep during nine days and in ad-
dition made forced marches and
fought one of the greatest battles in
history.
How, then, did these men survive
rine days apparently without Oppor-
tunity for sleep. They did an extra
ordinary thing-they slept while
they marched! Sheer fatigue slowed
down their pace to a rate that would
permit them to sleep while walking.
When they halted they fell asleep.
They slept in water and on rough
grounds when suffering the pangs OF
hunger and thirst and even when
severely wounded. They cared not
for capture, not even for death, if
only they could sleep.
The UNMARRIED testimony of the
soldiers was that every one at
times slept on the march. They pass
ed through villages asleep. When
sleep deepened they We're awakened
by comrads. They slept in water, on
stones, in brush and in the middle
of the road as if they had sudden
ly fallen in death. With the ever on
coming lines Of the enemy no man
was safe who dropped out of the
ranks, for no matter on what preteX
he fell out sleep conquered him.
Asleep many were captured That the
artillerymen slept on horseback was
evidenced by the fact that every man
lost his cap"
