Underneath the dice mat. which

LANG PROBE TO
BEGIN MONDAY
IT IS ASSURED

The delayed beginning OF the in
vestigation of Police Chief Lang.
charged with conduct unbecoming
an officer. will start Monday after
noon at o'clock, by the city coun-
ell. following the council meeting.
The investigation was to have be-
gun last Tuesday. but was post
poned because II was feared that
probing OF the chiefs conduct while
the American bankers were in ses-
sion here would reflect. in some
mysterious. occult fashion, on the
good name of the city.
All members of the council are
expected to be present when the in
vestigation begins. Lang has re-
tained three lawyers to defend him.
The investigation will be conducted
by Corporation Counsel Bradford.
Sessions of the council will be
held daily until all facts are in and
the council has determined whether
or not 1t is proper for a police chief

DEFENDS THE KILLING
or MISS EDITH CAVELL
German Government Justifies Staying
Of English Nurse-Deelares She
Gave Aid to Enemy.

Amsterdam, Oct 26. via London
The following inspired telegram re-
eeiyed from Berlin by way of Brus-
sells. dealing with the execution of
Miss Cavell, was published here on
Sunday:
AS the foreign press is discussing
in an incorrect and exaggerated man
ner the execution of the English WON
an. Edith Cavell, for treason, the cir
eumstances in the case, according to
the facts, may again be stated.
1T was proved after a long trial Of
the sentenced persons that they for
some months past had been engaged
in assisting Belgians OF military age
to enlist in hostile armies and in en-
abling French and English deserters
to escape the country. They had many
helpers and had organized branches.
The governor general had repeat
eddy issued warnings against such ac-
tivity, pointing out that severe punish
ment for such action was unavoidable.
The guilty persons were sentenced
law based on the provisions of the i'm
perial penal code and the military
penal code for war treason and es-
pionage
NO special law exists for Belgium
and no so-called usage Of war infiu-
enced the verdict of the court.
THE accused. for the most part, ad-
mitted their guilt, and acknowledged
they were aware of the severe penal
ties they were risking.
Miss Cavell was the principal agent
In the plot to enlist Belgians for the
allies. With regard to the assertion
that she in the course of her profess
sion unselfishly tended other persons
it may be pointed out that she earned
living by nursing, charging fees
within the means of rich people only.
Women also have been executed
in France, as was instanced In March
last, when the German woman, Mar
garet Schmidt, was executed at Nan
cy. and in May at Bourges. when the
German. optilie Moss. was put to
death.
The English government may re-
member the cruelties committed by
Lord Kitchener during the Boer war
on women and children.
Our present enemies do not need
to protect their armies against a pop
ulation and a hostile occupied coun.
try. nor are they under the necessity
OF pronouncing or executing such SEN
fences. for they have occupied so little
hostile territory"
