War Department Defends
Appointment of Meyer
Washington, April 13. In a report
to the house today Acting Secretary
of War Crowell defended the appoint
ment of Herbert Ar Meyer, formerly
secretary to Secretary Lane, as as
captain in the signal corns. The re
port, which was in response to a
house resolution of inquiry, said
Meyer was appointed March 21, 1917,
and at no time, therefore, bad he been
subject to the draft.
Representative Anthony again to
day declared the appointment was
dut to political influence. He pointed
out that Meyer was within the draft
age and said Ithe country had been
scandalized by publication of a list
of hundreds of young men of rich
and influential families who had been
appointed as officers .and assigned
to noncombatant service. .

Warrant Charging Statutory
; Offense Filed Against Dr.
Thomas; Case Before Mu
; . nicipa! Authorities.
'. Chicago, April 13. A warrant
charging a statutory offense was taken
out today for Dr. William Isaac
Thomas, University of Chicago pro
fessor, who vas apprehended Thurs
day night for registering at a local
hotel with Mrs. R. M. Granger, who
is the wife of an army officer now
in France, as his own wife under an
assumed name. The case will be
heard in the morals court,
i Dean Angel!, in the absence of
President Judson of the University of
Chicago, called a meeting of the
faculty today to consider the case.
A reporter who called at the
Thomas home shortly after sunrise
found the, distinguished sociologist
tnd authority on sex relations pacing
ttp tnd down the veranda,
1 Girl is Protected.
? "Ii Mrs. Granger with Mrs.
Thomas?" the professor was asked.
f"Yes," he replied. "Mrs. Thomas
has taken her in to protect her from
the knocks and buffets of the world.
She wis alone and helpless and Mrs.
Thomas has provided a harbor for
Her here."
! "Did she promise the federal au
thorities that she would not, see you
again?"
t "She did nothing of the sort, so tar
is I know." Dr. Thomas, said that in
due course he would issue a formal
tatement of his position.
The conversation was terminated by
a fight between Henry Thomas, 22
, year-old son of. the professor, and
half a dozen photographers who were
preparing to photograph Dr. Thomas.
Young Thomas smashed one or two
of the cameras and received some
blows in return. He retired when
his father got out of focus by return
ing indoors.
I Hunband in France.
Mrs. Granger is the daughter of
Mrs. Willis Kainef Chowning of Fort
Smith, Ark. Her maiden name was
Raines. She married Granger more
than three years ago when he was a
telegraph operator. He became an of
ftcer in the signal corps and sailed
fpr France last winter. It wis then
that his wife and the mother of his
baby, through her sister, Delia, met
Dr. Thomas. Her hope now is that
her husband will not hear of the af
fair. ' "If he doei I'm afraid he will desert
Mid do some killing that has nothing
io do with the war," she said yester
day. '; Taken In Thomag Home. '
'H Mrs. Granger passed last night at p
the south side home of the University
of Chicago professor of sociology.!
She was there by invitation of the
professor's wife, who is known , na-i
tionally as a pacifist .and an advocate
of woman suffrage. Mrs. Thomas met
Mrs. Granger d6wntown by appoint
ment and took the pretty wife of the
soldier home with her, accompanied
by Mrs. Granger's sister, Miss Delia
Raines, a motion picture, actress and
an art student. '
Sorry for Girl.
; "I am terribly, terribly sorry for
you," Mrs. Thomas said to Mrs.
Granger. "The only thing I can't for
give is the utter stupidity and the ab
surd childishness of the professor do
ing inch a thing. He ought to have
known better."
Mrs. Thomas has bertofore rallied
to the defense of her husband when
, criticised for some of his writings and
utterances on (ex questions.' She is
the daughter of the late Rey. James
Park, a Presbyterian minister of
Knoxyille, Tenn., is president of the
Chicago Peace society, and accom
panied the Henry Ford peace party to
Stockholm.
' :i .Declares He Loves Her.
When arrested with Mrs. Granger,
Dr. Thomas said: "I love her and I
doA't care if the whole world knows
it. My arrest is a tremendous injus
tice." Dr. Thomas for suir: was
much in demand for his L on
sociology and the relation of sex
thereunto. Among his teachings
were: ,
f "Women are better off for having
had their fling as men do. Dissipated
women often make excellent wives.
"Chivalry is the persistence of the
old race habit of contempt for
women. . .
' "Any girl, mentally mature, has the
right to have children and the right
to limit their number.
J " V "The morality of women is an ex
pediency rather than an inate virtue.
, Marriage as it exists today is
rapidly approaching a form of im
morality.
k "Matrimony is often an arrange
ment by which the woman trades her
irrepoachable conduct for trreproach
able gowns.
I "Children are not the result of mar
riage', but marriage is the result of
children." '
j , University to Act.
" I Dean Albion Small, head of the de
partment of sociology of the Univer
sity of Chicago, of which Prof,
gliomas is a member, said today that
. something probably would be done by
'.he university authorities.
"Th tnartar rt( fMij4i...A .lf1 ...i
with President Judson, who is out of
th city. It is probable that a com-
oittee will be appointed to investigate
the actions of Prof. Thomas."

Copenhagen, April 1. The terror
inspired among the defenseless people
ot Helsmglora by tne murners ana
outrages committed by the Red guard
in the first days ot tne revolution in
Finland is sranliicall v described in a
diary written on the spot by a Swedish
refuge. I he account received nere
mentions that one of the victims of
the massacres in the Finnish capital
was Virkunen, a well known Finnish
athlete. The diary reads in part:
Sunday. This afternoon the Red
Guards took possession of the Hel
singfors railway station. Soon after
ward they seized all printing estab
lishments, newspaper offices and
banks. The revolution was carried
through with a rapidity and energy
which comoletelv overpowered the
existing authorities.
"Mondav: The morning was com-

Gronquist's stone house on the pre
text that shots had been fired from
there. The leader of the Red Guards,
a tall man in oil skins, stood in the
market place and directed the firing.
Four thousand shots were fired in
half an hour, without reply, the
object apparently being to spread
terror, in which respect it succeeded
completely.
Perfect Nonentities.
"Tuesday: The new government
was proclaimed today. The minis
ters, except for three well-known
Reds, are perfect nonentities. The
Diet has been swepfaway, and the
Soviet formed, consisting of 35 mem
bers. A proclamation decrees the
seizure of all capital. The hooks of all
private banks are taken over, and no
person is allowed to draw more than
500 marks a week. All deposits over
10,000 marks are confiscated. Another
proclamation states that it js prohibi
ted to collect house rent, that nyon
found in possession of arms after 24
hours will be shot. ... .
"Wednesday? The editor of a local
newspaper, A,,R. Frenckell, has been
murdered in cold . blood, . as also
Virkunen, the Finnish athlete, who
was editor of the Finnish Athletic
News. The leaders soon found that
their followers could not be curbed.

An illiterate postman has been ap

and a Russian bakerman is director
general of railways. . . .. .
"AH control ot tne moD is supping

death standard has been hoisted over
what was formerly the officers' ca
sino and on all vessels in the port,
indicating that further massacres are
in store.
Diet Members Shot
Tl.,ir.,lii Turn mmhers of the
Diet, a lawyer named Mikola and a
clergyman named Beck, were shot.
Five other members ; were taken
prisoner and probably have' been
killed. Four hundred members of
the White Guard have been slain ana

of all ages have been tortured, ana

"Friday: Senator Stahlberg ar
rested and presumably shot. Today
was a day devoted to wholesale rob

'dispossession.' j
"Among the many purpose s
murders, that of the young student
Hjelt ,is worthy of mention. His
father had died a natural death at
Kerava, and he went to the little
town to bring his father's body to
Helsingfors for burial. At Kerava he
was shot, although he explained wny
he had come. Later on, some of the
Red Guards realized that they had
committed an unusually shameful
deed, and sent a representative

plaining that the young man bad been
anmnrmrtv lae who should have been
killed. Again and again the same ex
cuse is made for the murder of un

The Red Guards had promised them

their guns, ihey ma so ana were
shot one by one as they csjfne out of
thii- hiilinff nlace. As ' the shots
failed to kill several of them, the
wounded men were dragged into tne
waiting room of the station, where
the Reds murdered them with blows
from the butt-ends of their rifles. This
station became forthwith the center
of a campaign of infamous massacre,
the Reds sallying forth from . it for
a variety of murders and robberies.
"There was no plan to the action
of the Reds they robbed, plundered,
raped and burned for mere pleasure
and lust of destruction. Former
revolutions had their tribunals, this
