tells of only one national crime whici
could be compared with the RlSsialI
rape Of Finland, and that was the nari

grand duchy of Finland was ceded "a
the Russian crown in 1909 with thu
emperor as grand duke. The rights

prisoned or sent to Siberia. Troops
raised in Siberia were sent TO other
parts OF Russia, and alien legions were
quartered in Finland. to suppress every
symptom of disturbance or protest.
Newspapers were suppressed, public
men would disappear overnight never

foreign country to which they had been

Since the eastern war began Finland
has been more strongly garrisoncd by
Russia, but there have been mutterings
OF trouble. The assassination of Cen

Of these opprcssions. He was q maj
of steel, utterly without feelings. and
admirably fitted for the task of holding
Finland in an iron hand. He has paid
with his life the penalty of Russia's
crimes.

evening, was held at o'clock, Mon

which Mrs. Dean had been held and of
the painful loss with which the friends
and companions of the departed wO-

been one of the employees of the Hol-

entire community across the river
seemed to be iii mourning. F. Z. Bos-

mOurners present from the general
office. The casket was literally cover

nothing which could have been done
to show the regards which the MOURN
