According to Mr. Clabaugh. Dr.

"I love her and) I don't care if the
whole world knows It. My arrast is a
tremendous Injustice."
Mr. Clabaugh further quoted tha

Dr. Thomaa for some time was much
In demand for his lectures on sociology
and the relation of sex thereunto.
Among bis teachings were:
"Women are better off for having
had their flings aa men do. Dissipated
women often make excellent wives. i
"Any girl, mentally mature, has tha
right to have children and tha right to
limit their number.
The morality of women la an expe
diency rather than Innate virtue.
-Marriage as it exists today Is rap
Idly approaching a form of immoral
ity. 'Matrimony Is often an arrangement
by which the woman trades her Irre
proachable conduct for irreproachable
gowns.
"I'hildren are not the result of mar
riage, but marriage la the result of
children.
Mrs. R. it. Granger, the Washington
woman who was taken from the Bre-
voort Hotel with Dr. Thomas, expressed
the following remarkable vlewa on life

-Women do lots of things they re
grvt. things that only a kind and con
siderate and Intellectual man could
tiiake them do.
"Ild I consider hia wife? Not espe
cially. Why should IT I blame myself

eventually marry, daddy and I."
"No action will be taken today, aald
TMstrict Attorney Clyne. In whose bands
tha case now rests. -Although we have
tha results of the Investigation of the

to the north hostile attacks have been
repulsed. Fighting Is continuing on
tha whole front north of La Basse e

-South of Arras strong local attacks
were made by the enemy yesterday

BERLIN, via London. April 12. The
official atatement issued by the War
Office tonight reads:
"Armentieres has fallen. Encircled on
tha north and south by the troops of
General von Berhardt and General von
Stetten and thus deprived of its roads
to retreat, the English garrison of 60
officers and more than 3000 men laid
down its arms after a brave resist
ance, n Ith them 45 cannon, numerous
machlneguns, large quantities of am
munition and clothes and other kinds
of rich booty fell into our hand.
To tha northeast of Armentieres we
gsined ground and to the west of the
city, after repulse of a strong counter
attack against Steenwerek, carried out
by hastily collected troops and after a
bitter fight for Britl.-h position Xo. 4. 1
the troops of General von Stetten and
General von Carlowitx drove the enemy '
back In the direction of Bailleul and !
Mrrvllle. Mervllle was captured.
"On the southern bank of the Lys
River General von Berhardt's troops
fought their way across the Lawe River
and advanced as far aa the heights be
fore Mervllle.
-On the battlefield on both sides of
the Somme violent artillery duels
developed. French regiments which as
saulted our line on the west bank of
tha Avro to the west of Moreuil werea
repulsed with heavy losses and lefri
In our hands 300 prisoners, who were
subsequently killed by French artil
lery.
"According to information so far
received, the total booty captured in
the. battle of Armentieres amounts to
20.000 prisoners. Including one English
and one Portuguese General and more
than 200 guns. The conquest tf
swamped crater fields In and before
our positions of departure on April
made the greatest demands on troops

Kcpresenlativcs of Many Patriotic
Clubs Attend Meeting Called
by Mrs. Wlnfleld Smith,
Head ot Organization.
That Oregon women in their patri
otic work are thoroughly organized,
but not thoroughly co-ordinated was
the opinion of a number of women who
attended the meeting called yesterday
by Mrs. WInfield R, Smith, head of the
Northwestern division of tho League
for vV oman's Service.
Room A. of the Library, was filled
with representatives of many patriotic
clubs, auxiliaries and societies who
assembled to hear the message of Mrs.
Smith and to express their views re
garding the advisability of forming
the state branch of the league.
Those who did not favor launching
the league In Oregon gave their ob
jections and retired before the final
rallying to Mrs. Smith's standard re
sulted in the pouring of names and
many patriotic activities of the city
and told of the great work each Is
doing. She declared she thought the
new league was unnecessary. Mrs.
Smith admitted that Oregon had done
wonderfully well, splendidly rendering
service, but thatco-ordlnation Is neces
sary to simplify matters and get the
best results. ,
Another contention of Mrs. Frankel
was that Oregon has the war emerg
ency council that answers the purpose
of .co-ordinating and regulating war
activities and benefits and that another
organization would be duplicating the
work of the council, which Is official
in that it has behind it the Council of
National Defense.
State Head to Be Appointed.
Mrs. William MacMaster was opposed
to the formation of the league and
Mrs. Robert Treat Piatt, who introduced
Mrs. bmlth, favored it.
Mrs. Adolph Wetzstein, formerly of
Butte, Mont., created much merriment
In her reply to some of the objections.
Sha stood firmly for the formation of
the league. - -
Mrs. Smith's coming to Portland was
tha result of a recent visit of Miss
Grace Parker, national commandant of
the league, who spoke here on woman's
opportunity to help win the war. At
the after-meeting yesterday Mrs. Esther
Allen Jobes waa the first to enroll her
Lname. Mrs. Fletcher Linn was second.
About 30 others followed Immediately.
Mrs. Smith left last night for Seattle
where she is prominently identified
with civic and patriotic, work. She is
president of the Sunset Club and ol
the Washington branch of the League
for Woman's Service.
Several names have been submitted
to her for consideration and Mrs. Smith
will appoint the state head for the
league in Oregon. This name will be
announced soon.
