II am terribly sorry for you," Mrs
Thomas told the other woman, "snd
I'll do all L can to help you.
Professor Thomas is just silly
foolish boy; he should have known
BETTER" she added.
Mrs. Changers attitude perplexed
special agents who questioned her
She exhibited few signs of remorse
over her acquaintance with the profess
sor, but appeared to be worried over
the probable attitude of her husband,
lieutenant with Pershing in France.
Hes my daddy" she told question:
ers. speaking of Thomas. He's bald
headed old dear.
He showed me the little attentions
married women seldom get from their
husbands
Mrs. Thomas has been known as a
worker for universal peace. She was Il

peace party.
Held Her Way Up.
HE told me, soon after we met,
that I was just little, tiny girl, and
he Rugged me and held me way up
for a while and kissed him. 1 knew
it was wrong, but 1 just thought of
how much fun is taken to the grave
yard. and I didn't care"
Mrs. Granger told officers of meet

Thomas was doing special investiga-
ton for Col. E. M. House.
II know what my husband will do
the officer was mentioned by United
States District Attorney Clyne-"He'll
get a furlo and he'll come home and
shoot me.
Knew 1t Was Wrong.
Mrs. Granger wept when Clyne pic
tured her husband in France, offering
his life for his country and her.
Didn't you realize you were violat-
ing a serious law?" Clyne inquired.
Certainly, I did" was the reply.
That's what makes me so darned
mad-we didn't know any better than
to get caught"

certain that Americans generally,
recognize that, by inviting the Ameri-
can fleet to visit Buenos Aires and in
many other ways where our bond of
sympathy dictated that we give proof
of the genuineness and depth of our
friendship for America, Argentina has
never heSitated.
"ArSentina's sympathetic approval
has followed the United States step
by step. We have endorsed your course
and voiced our approval of the lofti-
ness of your detectives on every i'm
portant occasion. 1 have personally
followed every move of President Will

purposes of the United States with a
feeling of the greatest admiration and
respect. BY his words and deeds, we

Whatever skepticism exists as a re-
suit of lack of understanding of first
utteranceS have been limited by the
and the manner in which actions have
squared with words"
The entire effect and impression left
by the interview, which is practically
unprecedented in Argentina, was that
there was not the slightest doubt of
the genuineness and sincerity of Pres
ident Irigoyen's personal feelings to-
wards the United States. Like Presi-
dent Wilson, however, he regards his
position as president as detached and
impersonal. The feeling with which
he referred to the various actions and
a belief that his position will be bet
fer understood by President Wilson
than by any one.
