$4,000 men and has actually SUR
veyed and interviewed 110,135 SOL
diers sailors and marines injured in
service during the war. The major
ity of these will not be able to obtain
retraining under the act of congress
as it now stands even with recent
amendments. All of the men more
than 10 per cent disabled will re-
ceive money compensation to the ex-
tent to which they are disabled, but
only those whose disabilities means a
handicap to them in the occupation or
vocation they followed or in ordinary
lines of work can be re-trained and
fitted for a new trade or profession.
OF those already interviewed, 1876
have been approved for training and
1856 of these have actually been plac-
ed in training. Several thousand ad-
ditionai men will have been approved
by October, and these, with the men
now waiting, will begin their school
ing when the schools reopen.
According to recent figures report
ed to the bureau of war risk insurance
by the army 149,4S3 men have been
discharged from service with a disa-
bility.
"Only cases showing 10 per cent
disability have been reported" the
report states. AT this rate it seems
probable that the total number of
cases of disability resulting frjn the
war and entitled to (monetary) COM
pensation will be close to 100000"
Thus far CANDIDA has been the most
liberal of other countries in granting
re-training to its soldiers, but figur-

OFFICERS Will
have CHANCE IN
REGULAR ARMY
Those Desiring to Remain in
Service Not Discharged
as Turn Is Reached,
Says Gen. March.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The army
reorganization bill to be presented
to congress next week would give
authority to the War department to
incorporate in the new regular forces
those temporary officers who made
good in the war, General March said
today. There are no vacancies in
the ranks of the old regular army.
Officers who desire to maintain
their connection with the permanent
forces are not discharged as their
turn is reached.
In reply to an inquiry regarding
persistent reports that batteries B
and D, 150th field artillery, AID di-
vision, had been practically wiped
out, General March said Maj. Gen.
Charles T. Menoher, former COM
mander of the AID, who is now in
Washington, had stated specifically
that these units had not suffered any
unusually heavy losses.
General March requested that at
tention be called to the fact that the
war risk insurance bureau is an ad-
junct of the Treasury department
and does not come under the War de-
partment. He said his personal mail
was flooded with inquiries regard
ing insurance.

HOLDING HANDS
MOTTO FRAMED
BY OMAHA man
Brumbaugh Later Declared in
Favor of War, Socialist
Leader Tells Jury;
Trial Near End.

Chicago, Jan. REPRESENTATION of
testimony in the trial of Congress
man-elect Victor L. Berger OF Mil
waukee and four other socialist
leaders, charged with conspiracy to
violate the espionage law, was con-
cluded today and the case will be
given to the jury next Tuesday at
ternoon. Argument of council to
the jury will begin Monday morn
ing. Each side has been allotted
five and a half hours for closing
argument.
The defense closed its testimony
shortly before noon and the gov
eminent called six witnesses in re-
buttal.
Code Letter Disappears.
L. T. Plummer, an investigator for
the district attorneys Office, told
how the German code letter which
Private Arnold Schiller testified had
been used in the alleged under
ground plot to smuggle socialist
slackers into Mexico, had mysteli-
ously disappeared from the docu-
mentary exhibits in the case after
being examined by attorneys for the
defense.
Deputy Chief OF Police John H.
Alcock was called by the defense to
impeach testimony given by Hinton
G. Clabaugh, former chief of the

partment of Justice, to the effect that
there had been a riot in front of the
Auditorium during a meeting held
under the auspices of the peoples

torial stated that the defendants
were not traitors and declared that
the governments method of deal
ing with radicals was asinine.
Berger Recalled to Stand.
Berger said that while he did not
write the editorial. it expressed his
views at that time.
Il considered that I. w. w. were
like the French syndicalists and |
believed this government could get
along with them like the French
government does with its extreme
radicals" Berger said.
Adolph Corner, national secretary
of the socialist party and defend
ant, was recalled to the stand and
questioned briefly. He testified that
Edmund Brumbaugh of Omaha,

SPANISH INFLUENZA
MORE DEADLY
THAN WAR
Said That Epidemic Cost More Lives
Than American Loss in Battle.
Danger Not Over. Great Care
Necessary to Prevent
Further Outbreak.

The appalling ravages Of Spanish In
fluenza in this country are perhaps best
realized by the statement recently made,
that more deaths have resulted in little
more than a month from this disease than
through our whole eighteen months par
ticipation in the battles of the European
War.
Our greatest danger now, declare au-
thorities. is the great American tendency
to forget easily and to believe the peril is
over. Competent authorities claim the
coming Of cold weather is very apt to
bring q return of this disease and there
should be no let-up throughout the win
ter months Of the following easily OBJ
served precautions. remembering that In
fluenza is far easier to prevent than cure.
Influenza is a crowd disease Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Influenza
germs spread when ignorant or careless
handkerchief. Cover up each cough or
sneeze. Do not spit on the floor, side
walk, in street cars or public places
Avoid the use Of common drinking cups
and roller towels in public places Breathe
some reliable germicidal and antiseptic
air to destroy the germs that do find
Judgement in your nose or throat.
Remember. no safer precaution against
influenza could be employed in this man
store complete Hyomei Outfit consisting
of bottle of the Pure Oil Of Hyomei
and a little vest-pocket hard rubber in
haling device. into which few drops Of
the oil are poured. You should carry this
Inhaler about with you during the day
and each half hour ,r so put it in your
mouth and draw deep breaths Of its pure,
healing germ killing air into the passages
of your nose, throat and lungs.
By destroying germs before they actu-
ally begin to WORK in your blood. you may
ankle yourself practically immune to in
lection.
All these suggestions about Spanish In
fluenza are equally true in the preven-
ton OF colds. catarrh of nose and throat,
bronchitis and even pneumonia. Don't
become careless. Do your part. Keep
the germs away. You may save yourself
serious illness and the loss of several
