Hollis STATEMENT.

To Justice of the Peace Luyster Holt
made the following statement, made ii
without any approach to agitation or re-
eret and speaking with the utmost pre-
cision and camness;
I, Frank Holt of Ithaca, ~ y, and
lately professor Of French at Cornell. do
hereby freely make to William f .Luys-
tel, justice of the peace, the following
statement Of the facts concerning my
visit to the home of j. P. Morgan at
East Island Glen Cove. y Y.
l have been in New York city ABOUT
ten days and had made a previous trip
to the home of Mr. Morgan last week
My motive in coming here was to try
to force Mr. Morgan to use his influence
WITH the manufacturers of munitions in
the United States, and with the million
aires who are financing the war loans,
TO have an embargo put on shipments of
war munitions, go as to relieve the
American people from completely in the
death of thousands Of our European
brothers
II Germany should be able to buy mu-
ntions here We would of course positively
refuse to sell to her The reason that
the American people have not as Yet
stopped the shipments seems to be that
We are getting rich out of this traffic,
but do we not get enough prosperity out
of non contraband shipments? And would
1t not be better for rs to make what
money we can without causing the
slaughter of Europeanso
! am very sorry that had to cause
the Morgan family this unplea santness,
put believe that If Mr.. Morgan would
put his shoulder to the wheel he could
accomplish what | have endeaVored to
do | wanted him to do the work could
not do | hope that he will do his share
anyway. We must stop our participate
in the killing of Europeans, and God will
take care of the rest.
ENTERS NOT GUILTY FLEA.
While the surgeons in the great house
on East island were working over Mr.
Morgan and automobiles carrying the
financiers relatives and friends were
spinning along the beautiful road from
Glen cove to the Morgan home, Holt the
would-oe murderer. was heinz arraigned
FOR assault with intent to Kill in the
Glen cove court house Whether from
the ERECT OF the buffers hlow or whether
ne was pretending mental and physical
weakness he answered stupidity. He

WILSON SETS NOV. 25 FOR THANKSGIVING DAY
Peace In United States is the
 Keynote of Proclamation.

President Wilson. in a proclamation designating Thursday. Nov 25. as Thanksgiving day. calls attention to the fact that the United States has been at peace while most of Europe has been at war. The proclamation says:
 It has long been the honored custom of our people to turn in the fruitful autumn of the year in praise and thanksgiving to Almighty God for his many blessings and mercies to us as a nation. The year that is now drawing to a close since we last observed our day of national thanksgiv. ing has been, while a year of discipline because of the mighty forces of war and of changes which have disturbed the world, also a year of special blessing for us.
 Another year of peace has been vouch- I safed us; another year in which not only| to take thought of our duty to ourselves and to mankind, but also to adjust our selves to the many responsibilities thrusl upon us by war which has involved al most the whole of Europe. We have been9 able to assert our rights and the rightsl of mankind without breach of friendship with the great nations with which weI have had to deal and while we have as serted rights, we have been able also toi perform duties and exercise privileges of succor and helpfulness which should servel to demonstrate our desire to make the| offices of friendship the means of truly disnterested and unselfsh service.
 Our ability to serve all who could avail! thepselves of our services in the midst oil crisis has been increased, by a graciousI providence, by more and more abundant crops; our ample financial resources have| enabled us to steady the markets of the. world and facilitate necessary movement of commerce which the war might other. wise have rendered impossible, and ourl people have come more and more to al sober realization of the part they havel been called upon to play in a time when, all the world is shaken by unparalleled distresses and disasters.
 The extraordinary circumstances of such a time have done much to quicken our national consciousness and deepen and confirm our confidence in the prin- ciples of peace and freedom by which we have always sought to be guided. Out of darkness and perplexities have come frmer counsels of policy and clearer per captions of the essential welfare of the nation We have prospered while other peoples were at war, but our prosperity that we. might the better perform the functions which war rendered it impos- sible for them to perform.
 Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States of America. do hereby designate Thursday, the 18th of November next as a day of thanksgiv- ing and prayer, and invite the people throughout the land to cease from their wonted occupations and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks to Almighty God.

AnpaSSador rage GeCS oIIrrin9 HePoft
 From Minister WhitIock on Action of
 German Officers In Belgium In Hur
 ryins Woman Suspected as Spy to
 the Firing Squad.
 Efforts of the American legation at Brussels continued to the very last minute were vain to delay the execu- Sion of the death penalty passed on Miss Edith Cavell. the English nurse.
 Late the night before the execution Hugh s. Gibson, secretary of the lega- tion, learned that she had been con demned to death for helping English French and Belgian soldiers to escape from Brussels.
 He held positive assurances from Conrad, an official of the German civil branch in Belgium, that the American legation would be kept fully informed of all developments. This promise was renewed as late as 6:30 o'clock on the night before Miss Cavell was shot.
 Two hours later it was learned that sentence had been passed even before
 
 nurse was to face death during the night. She was sentenced at 5 o'clock and was shot at 2.
 Secretary Gibson and the Spanish minister hastened to Governor von der Lancken, but their appeals were met by the governors stone wall reply that only the kaiser could pardon.
 Before petition could be carried to Fhat last court Miss CaveIl was dead.
 These and other startling facts are part of the repOrt made by Brand Whitlock, American minister to Bel gium, to Ambassador Walter H. Page, made public in London
 Last Appeal For Mercy. Secretary Gibson presented to Gov erno- von der Lancken the following note from Minister Whitlock a few hours before the hurried execution: My Dear Baron-I am too sick to pre- sent my request myself, but I appeal to your generosity of heart to support it and save from death this unhappy woman Have pity on her. Yours truly
 BRAND WHITLOCK. The German political governors ex- planation was as follows: Miss Cavell admitted having concealed Tn her house various English and French | soldiers as we'll as Belgians of military age, all anxious to proceed to the front | She also acknowledges having supplied | these soldiers with the funds necessary to | proceed to the front and having facilitated ] their departure from Belgium by finding | guides to assist them in clandestinely | crossing the frontier. An Amsterdam correspondent as- cr1bes to Miss CavelIs most intimate friend, a Belgian nurse, the following statements
 Miss Cavell was rushed to her death and shot in the barracks early in the l morning. She was brave before the | German rifles, as she had been before the court martial. She refused to have l her eyes bandaged and pinned small | Union Jack to her bodice.
 Some of the landstrum men who had been forced to take part in the ex- ecution are said to have wept. She was 1 buried in the exiles' cemetery. It is said that the execution was or dcred by the governor personally, as the kaiser had already pardoned a number Of women, and the governor feared that if Miss Cavell were par doned it would weaken the authority of the court martial.''
 Emperor William pardoned the Countess de Belleville, Mile. ThuIier and the other Belgians condemned to l death in Belgium for aiding in the !. escape of prisoner soldiers.
