BRITISH NURSE DIED
 MARTYRS DEATH
Cousin Declares Referring to Miss
 CaVell-Shot by Germans

London, Oct. 21, $40 a. m.-The circumstances connected with the execution by the German authorities at Brussels of Miss Edith Cavell, a British nurse, occupy constantly in creasing attention in London. The forthcoming publication of the report of Brand Whitlock, American min- ister to Belgium, on his efforts in Miss Cavell's behalf is awaited with keenest interest. This report will be pub- lished in tomorrow mornings news papers.
 Report Long One.
 The Mail says the report is long one, and adds:
 '"This account will strike note of horror throughout the world. It will tell of the wonderful heroism of a woman who had nursed German wounded. It will tell of the greatest fight for a woman's life that was ever fought, of unavailing efforts of nobles and neutrals to combat the callous secret cunning of the Germans.
 The Post publishes today letter from Miss Cavelrs cousin concerning her devotion to her work as nurse.
 Voluntarily Remained.
 My cousins intense devotion to the alIeviation of suffering caused her to devote her life to nursing in Brussels" the letter says "She voluntarily re- mained there to continue her work when the city was taken by the Ger mans. She would have nursed a German with as much tender care as an Englishman.
 "In a letter to me she said, We have no wounded here now. The al- lies do not come here and the Ger mans are sent back to their own coun- try. The few that remain are nursed by their own countrywomen, so we are denied the great consolation of be- ing of use in our own special way
 Died Martyrs Death. .
 t'She allowed the womanly quality of compassion to get the better of prudence and self-interest. For this she suffered untold miseries and died a martyrs death"
 English newspapers drew a parallel between the case of Miss Cavell in Belgium and that of Mrs. Louise Her bert, who was sentenced to six months Imprisonment as a spy in England. Mrs. Herbert's appeal was heard at Durham yesterday. She is German, wife of an English curate at Darling ton. She admitted that she had sought information regarding muni- tions and intended to send this infor- nation to Germany. The judge asked her yesterday: Did you intend to send the information to Germany if you got the chance?'
 "Yes, did," she replied.
 Corresponded With Germany.
 Mrs. Herbert also admitted she had corresponded with Germany through friends in Switzerland. The judge, astonished by her frank answer, re- marked: '"This woman has a con- science-she wishes to answer truth fully and deserves credit for that. At the same time, she is dangerous" He affirmed the sentence of six months Imprisonment.
 Lusitania Lesser Crime
 "A crime that dwarfs even that of the Lusitania," was the characteriza- ton of the execution of Miss Cavell, in discourse by Dr. Ingram, Bishop of London, at a Trafalgar Day ser vice in St. Martins church today.
 Always, up to now," said the bishop. "Chivalry has enlightened the horrors of war. But it is not so with our enemies of today, whose latest crime is the murder in cold blood of poor, defenseless English girl.''
