Berlin DEFENDS ACT
GERMAN GOVERNMENT SAYS Exc
cUTIoN OF NURSE WAS
JUSTIFIED.
GAVE AID TO THE ENEMY
Statement Declares That Governor
General of Belgium Warned Against
Practice-Asserts France Slew Two
German Women.

Amsterdam, Oct. 26, via London
The following inspired telegram re-
ceived from Berlin by way of Brus-
sells, dealing with the exception 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 wom-
an, Edith Cavell, for treason, the cir
cumstances in the case, according to
the facts, may again be stated.
1T was proved after 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 &C.
tivity, pointing out that severe punish
ment for such action was unavoidable.
THE guilty persons were sentenced
in a public sitting, according to the
law based on the provisions of the i'm
perial penal code and the military
penal code for war treason and es-
pionage.
mo special law exists for Belgium
and no so-called usage Of war tnf1u-
enced the verdict of the court.
The accused, for the most part, adj
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
garete Schmidt, was executed at Nam
cy, and in May at Bourges, when the
German, Optilie Moss, was put to
death.
1.-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 pop
ulation and hostile occupied coun-
try, nor are they under the necessity
of pronouncing or executing such sem
fences, for they have occupied so little
hostile territory"

TO SPEND $125,OOO
LuMRERMEN RAISE BIG FUND
FOR ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN.
To Spend $4,000 a Year to Boost Wis
consin and Michigan Hemlock
and Hardwood.

Milwaukee, fund sufficient to IN
sure a five-year campaign of advertis-
ing at approximately $4,000 year TO
boost the use of Wisconsin and north
ern Michigan hemlock and hardwood
was raised at a meeting OF the North
ern Hemlock and Hardwood Manufac-
turers' association held here.
Resolutions against the proposed
new freight classification on lumber
by which shipments are rated accord
ing to grade, were passed. The lum-
bermen pointed out that the change
would practically wipe out some
towns, and that in the shipments OF
mixed lumber the rate would be fixed
for the highest grade of lumber in the
car.
Another resolution favored the grad
ing of hemlock, and the use OF a WIS
consin trade mark to identify Wiscon-
sin produced lumber, establishing a
quality standard.
Practices of many Wisconsin archl-
tects in recommending outside lumber
for buildings where Wisconsin pro-
duced lumber would be just as good,
and sometimes better, were con-
demned and one of the objects of the
proposed publicity campaign will be
to establish a wisconsin First" prin-
ciple with the architects.
Edward Hines, nationally known
Iumberman, said the condition of the
market is improving, but warned
against over-enthusiasm of business
affected by European war orders.
