NEWBERRY CASE DISCUSSED BY
 SENATOR'S

WASHINGTON, Jan. g. - Senator Townsend, of Michigan, in defending the charges against Newberry before the Senate Elections Committee stat ed that certain interests had threat ened to coerce senators into voting against the seating of Newberry. He declared that he had received letters threatening him with defeat if he even spoke in defense of his col league.
 Newberry, in addressing the Senate, made a sweeping declaration of his innocence, and denied personal knowl- edge of the collection and expendi- ture of large sums to secure his election. "As God is my witness l am not to this day and hour con- scious of having done, in connection either with the primary campaign, or election, single act that is unlaw ful, dishonorable or corrupt and l say this without reservation or qualifi- cation," he declared.
 After Newberry spoke he submitted to questioning from the Democratic side conducted by Walsh, of Montana, from the beginning to the end of his statement until silence prevailed in the chamber

Declares Berlin Is Anxious to| Get Back to Pre-War Basis of Relations With United States

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Germany is eagerly awaiting the new American ambassador to Berlin, who will be given a cordial welcome and greeted as the official representative of a friendly country, according to James W. Gerard, who was withdrawn from Berlin as ambassador there when the United States entered the war.
 Gerard said one of the major prob lems facing the new ambassador at Berlin will be settlement of the Amer ican claims for damages in connec- tion with the sinking of the Lusi- tania He saw no difficulty for the new minister in this matter, however.
 Ellis Loring Dresel, Boston law yer, is now in charge of American af- fairs at Berlin, with the title of charge d'affaires.

 MT. Gerard refused to comment on Premier Briand's statement before the conference on the limitation of armamepts that Germany continued a military menace. and also on the proposed Harding Association" as 1t would affect Germany.

White Females Had Majority of 100000 Before the Late Conflict, Now Nearly Three Times That Number

LONDON, Jan 9. There are ap- proXimately 100000 more females of the white race than males today, as compared with an excess of 4,0O0,- 900 before the war, according to sta tistics just made public here. The four million excess was swollen by the war to nearly three times it's former dimensions, and the greatest proportional increase was in women between the ages of twenty and sixty years
 In another twenty years or so this excess should practically disappear by the action of natural sex increase if no disturbing factor should occur.
 The problem then will not be the want of balance of the sexes, but the pressure of population in the Old World, where, unless emigration takes on more even sex flow, there will still be an excess of females, while in the New Worlh the opposite condition will still prevail.
 Ten years ago the only parts of Europe in which males were in a majority were the Balkan States, Bulgaria, Greece, Rumania, Serbia (and Bosnia a-Herzegovina) and Lux emburg. RUSSIA AND GREAT BRITAIN
 Every other country showed a greater or lesser excess of females. Numerically it was greatest in Rus sia and in Great Britain, proportion ally in Portugal and Norway.
 Ireland, Germany, Finland, Sweden and Switzerland all showed persis- tent decline in the ratio of female excess.
 In Austria Hungary and the Meth erlands a sharp rise from 1880 to 1890 was followed by fall to 1910, while in Scotland marked fall in

WHITE WOMEN OUTNUMBER
 MEN BY ELEVEN MILLIONS
 AS RESULT OF WORLD WAR

the period 1sS1-91 was followed by less marked rise to 1911.
 England and Wales, Belgium, Den mark France, Italy, Norway, Portugal and Spain all showed, however, a persistent rise in the proportion ot females in the population.
 DIsPROPORTiONATE INCREASE
 Practically all the countries which had an excess in 1911 will show an increase of that excess in 1921, and in many cases, notably Germany. France. Austria Hungary and Belgium, this in crease will be, in consequence of the war, an entirely disproportionate one. Italy may not bo much affected as would otherwise be the case, as so many Italians returned from America to enroll, but even then the increase will presumably be very large one.
 Further it is probable that the ex- cess of females among the white races of some eleven millions at the present time and make it clear that the emigration of women cannot bring about balance of the sexes so far as those races are concerned.
 It is true that in Europe a large proportion of the excess of women was. as has been shown, at ages over sixty and that in America the preponderance of males obtains throughout life
 But the proportion in Europe has materially fallen through the war. and it is doubtful whether of the es- timateed 5,OOO,OOO excess males- in America more than four and one-half millions are between the ages of twenty and sixty, as an offset against the 13,OoO,000 excess women at those ages in Europe.
 Nature, we are told. will right the balance in time, but this, even if true, does not help to solve the pres ent problem. And 1t is worth while asking, is 1t true?
 In the countries examined 1t h only in the case of France, that sn increase in the excess of population was due to natural increase,
