 In reviewing the past and present which the President said was in deadly grapple and the people were being done to death between them" he asserted; We must first bring the destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can be separately; con creteIy and of its single choice disturb ti,e world; or if it cannot be presently destroyed; at least its reduction to virtual impotence brought about.

German Torture of Finn Who
 Had Not Offended

HOQUIAM, June 25.-Proof of the barbaric, fiendish methods, followed by the Germans in intimidating Fin flanders upon invading that country, has been received by a counsin of Mrs. Henry Maxi, who resides at 29O1 Pacific evenue, this city. The cousin lives in Aberdeen and the letter is from her brothers wife in Finland.
 On charge, trumped up by the Ger mans and branded as groundless by the writer in Finland, her husband was tortured terribly. His eyes were gouged out and his arms and legs cut oil. The letter stated there was small chance of him surviving the brutal treatment.
 It appears the victim was a leader among his townsmen and he was used as an example to others that the Ger mans were there to rule and would brook no interference. This and oth- CT outrages have infuriated the people of Finland and stories of these out rages are reaching America. It is ex- pected they will arouse Films here to enlist and help arenge the mistreat- ment of their people, according to Mrs. Maxi.
 The letter received by the Aberdeen woman, goes on to state the Germans are sacking Finland, moving out pro- visions and even requisitioning the food in homes. The Films are in a starving condition as a result Record.
