radiance.

Murders Charged
To Finnish Reds
Report to National Lutheran
Council Says Ten Pastors
Were Mulilated and Slain:
Women in Firing Squads

A report Just received from Finland
by the European relief committee Of
the National Lutheran Council. 437
Fifth Avenue, indicates how desperate
conditions are there. The report was
the Lutheran commissioners now in
Europe. 1t follows in part:
"The story OF the murderous meth
DDS Of the Finnish Reds would fill vol
umes. More than a thousand murders
were committed by them, with every
conceivable variation of brutality and
heartlessness. The narrative Of the
torturing and murder OF ten pastors
alone is such that it can be .olG only
in whispers. A faithful minister, sew
cnty years old, vas bayoneted in his
bed. Another clergyman was kicked
and pnioned By Red guardsman,
while two others cut a cross on his
breast and rubbed salt IN the gashe,
A third, Pastor Taube, after being tor
tured for hours, was buried alive.
Scores cf Similar Crimes
Scores Of similar crimes might be
narrated. They have been corrobo-
rated not only by inqucsts and investi-
cations but also by the confessions of
the Reds themselves A number of
young men conscriDscd N the Tavast
country were taken to the railway sta
tion Of Riihimaki and upon their re-
fusing to take up arms were impris-
oned in the Russian barracks at that
place.
VERY soon. however, Riihimaki was
doomed to fall before the onward
march Of the White Guards, and sooner
than permit the imprisoned Tavastian
farmers to fall into the hands of their
tieliverers the Reds decided to murder
Them
The Reds-and this time they were
not men but armed women-placcd
themselves at the doors and began fir
ing haphazard at the prisoners. The
unfortunates rushed back and forth in
terror and were shot down. The result
was twelve dead and ten wounded. Of
the latter two had become dcmented.
Killed by Grenades
''ln the city of Viborg similar
scene was enacted, one difference be-
ing that instead of shooting the pris-
oners they threw hand grenades at
them The effect was horrible Thir-
ty-five were killed and large number
wounded.
Finally, something must be said
about the great place of execution
which the Reds arranged at Kouvola
Station, on the main railway line be-
tween Helsingsfors and Viborg. Pris-
oners were brought here from Fred
rikshamn and Kotka, and from the
factory towns on the River Kymmene----
karhula, Kvmmenc. Voikka and Kuu-
sankos. The Reds themselves ad-
n'itted that they had put to death
about four hundred persons at this
place. More than two hundred bodies
have been found, some buried in a
swamp. some thrown irto the river
But many have been carried away by
the river and probably never will be
found"

thought and in practice: essentially
masculine in every fibre of his being.
He is absolutely fearless and he will
say what he thinks and say it in a

ministry will be one of large power

With the habit common to the Edin-

the white haired DR.. Jowett preached
a gospel of courage, hope and assur-

"There is peril in living from hand

of reserve" he said "The cardinal
secret of success in life is to have
something to fall back upon when obli-

Van Dyke Calls Socialism
The Bee Method of Life
Perpetuation of Swarm Its Sole
Object, and Retirement of
Individual Is Passed Bv

In sermon yesterday in st. Paul's
Chapel, Columbia University, Dr. enry
van Dyke, Of Princeton, declared that
neither the philosophy Of individualism sm
nor that Of socialism was possible of
exclusive application in the world to- o.
day. An infusion of both in proper
proportions is necessary. he said, add
ing that this was the lesson of team
work both on the fighting line and at
home during the war.
"The most perfect example of So
cialism is swarm of bees" said Dr..
van Dyke, "where all personality is
lost. Every member gets the same pay,
board and lodging, ano the only object
il to perpetuate the swarm and keep
the hive full. But they never produce
a better bee nor a more perfect hive.
Is mankind to come down to that
level?
~ can see no reason whatever either
i'll morals or religion for the mere
perpetuation of human bee swarm,
except for the development and per-
fecting Of the human souls who make
humanity. What real good is there
in the continuance of any community,
say New York, unless you think of the
men and women and children who live
there, each one the inheritor of spark
of the divine life, which may be cher
ished and kindled and enlarged into
q flame Of beautiful and potent light ?
There is your reason for service.
1.-THE community has a claim to live
for the sake of the better men and
women who are going to live in it and
come forth from it. Therefore. be
yourself. your best self. Live your
own life, but live it to and for your
neighbours"

Sermon in 5MAvenue Church
Parts Company With Congregation for the Second
Time, Closing Return Visit; Goes Back to Eng
land, and Is Succeeded by DIR. John Kelman

DR.. John Henry Jowett yesterday
parted for the second time with the
congregation of the Fifth Avenue
Presbyterian Church. On April Is,
1918, he formally resigned charge of
the church, where he had been for
seven years, to take over the ministry
of Westminster Chapel, London. He
was on a return visit here and preached
series of sermons. His second fare
we'll service yesterday ended the
series. He is going back to England
and Westminster Chapel. He preached
strictly evangelical sermon and com
mended DR.. John Kelman, his success
sor, to the congregation. Of his own
feelings he said little, though much
Of his personal experience seemed to
be projected into this utterance:
Remember! A minister is what his
congregation makes him. 1t can par
alyze him or give him wings. be-
lieve you will give wings to my friend
John Kelman."
The service was picturesque. The
church was so crowded that people
lined the a;s'es. sat on the gallery
stairways and tianked the walls. Out
side, the straeg,ing queue, incident to
the theatre rather than to the church,
wound it's way down Fifth Avenue and
far around the corner of Fifty-fifth
Street. Hundreds had to be turned
away.
In his sermon DR.. Jowett fore
shadowed the reign Of another fighter
as minister of Fifth Avenue Presby-
terian Church-a man not afraid to
say what he thinks. His personal
tribute to Dr. Kelman, who will take
over the charge on the second Sunday
of November and who sails from

missioner, Candidate Asserts

Representative F. H. La Guardia.
Republican candidate for President of
the BOARD of Aldermen, declared last
night that Commissioner Enright's ad-
ministration of the Police Depart
ment was shat.erng its morale and
had temporarily nuliltied twenty years
OF police progress.
The administration Of the Police
Department under Commissioner Tn-
right" said Mr.. La Guardia, "has been
conspicuous for the punishment Of po-
Commissioner or the Mayor had q
political or personal grudge and by
the reward of favorites. The subst-
tuition Of pull for merit has had an
unfortunate effect. The police are fine,
able bodied men, which the Commits
sioner does not seem to be willing to
admit. for although he praises them
orally, when the time came to request
salary increases he thought that the
policemen were entitled to raise OF
only 40 cents y day.
~ he man on post. who is doing his
work conscientiously and bravely, GER
tainly must feel discouraged when he

Says Demotiors Hurt efficiency
The police, moreover would have been
able to do even more effective work in
the prevention and detection OF crime,
as we'll as the capture of criminals. If
the Police Commi ssioner's arbitrary
destruction of useful methods had not
been accomplished.
The demotion OF Inspector Daniel
Costlgan to captain and the abolition
OF the Vice Squad, Of which he was
head is only one of the many instances
of the COMMISSIONER wveakinp vcnv-
spector Frank Tierney, who was re-
duced by Enrght to captain and has
now been transferred to Rockaway,
which Is regarded in police circles as p
decided punishment, may have been as
signed in previous administration to
perform task of observation that had
personal bearing upon Enright, but to
use such an instance OF the faithful
performance of an assignment as the
basis of vengeance is detrimental to
police morale.
Keeps Records on Cards
The Police Commissioner has in
stituted his own system OF keeping
records on cards, whereas they were
formerly kept in books.
The Mayor has called Police Com

held by civilian, to see the astounding
