this society, of whom Miss Cayell was
| the head, for their escape out Of Bel
GUM. When such conditions prevail
under the very eyes OF the authori
ties then there is only one remedy and
that is TO exact the Law to the fullest
extreme. II government omits Ia
take the same actions under these cir.
cnmstances, then 1t neglects its ele-
mentary duties to the army and its
security: these duties in war time are
Of more importance than any others.
sAll those who were prosecuted
were quite aware OF the seriousness
of the offense The court was most
particular on this point Some Of the
defendants were acquitted because
the court was in doubt as to their
fun knowledge Of the seriousness Of
the case.
The German government had post
ed numerous notices all over Belgium.
giving the population full warning
that II any person is caught giving
the enemy any assistance the same
will suffer the heaviest penalty. even
the penalty Of death.
II will admit that the motive of
the offense was noble one and that
the same has been done for the love
of the country. But in time OF war
enc must be willing to sacrifice their
blood for the love of their country,
whether this happens on the battle
field or under the same circumstances
as stated above.
Amongst the Russian prisoners in
Germany many women were found in
soldiers uniform. Now supposing
these women were killed on the battle
field, would anybody have made hue
and cry about killing these women?
Why, no. Miss Cavell faced the same
dangers as her comrades did on the
battlefields.
-The weakness of the enemies ar
gument points out that they do not
question the just verdict of the court
but to stir up the public opinions by
untruthful reports of the execution of
Miss Cavell. 1t was stated that the
soldiers at first refused to shoot. but
later they shot so bad as to miss her.
Then an officer went up to her and
shot her several times in the head
with his revolver.
This is an absolute falsehood. Il
have the official report In my pos
session. The execution passed off
strictly according to the standing rules
of the law. After the first salvo was
fired the doctor declared the unhappy
woman as dead"
The above is true translation OF
the Cavell case as stated by DR.. Zim-
and / would certainly be
very much obliged to you If you will
kindly give this space in your valua-

favor,

THE cAygLL CASE.

Honolulu. r. H., Nov. 4. 1915.
/ Editor Honolulu Star. Bulletin,
Sir: Both the British and the Amer.
lean press sharply criticised the &C.
ticn OF the German government for
the execution of an English nurse and
also prosecuting seven other women
for the serious offense of high treason.
For the sake of fair play and also
fer the benefit OF those who are not
acquainted with the facts surround
ing the circumstances Of the case. I
have translated the statement tofi-
ciaD of the under secretary for foreign
affairs, DR.. Alfred r. M. zimmerman.
DR.. zimmerman declares that he
has gone most searchingly into every
detail concerning the case and he has
come to the conclusion that the YER
dict OF the court was just one. His
explanation is as follows:
1T is very hard indeed when a wo-
man has to be executed, but one must
consider what viii become of a coun-
try which is in state OF war, il it
pardonsi woman who has committed
crime against the security of its
army.
"a No law books, least OF all those
which contain the laws OF war, make
any distinction between sexes, with
the exception of one legal rule, that
Is when woman is in pregnant con-
tiition only then the law forbids the
execution. In all other cases men and
women are. considered equals In the
eyes Of the law and only the gravity
Of, the guilt makes difference In the
verdict for the crime and its conse-
Quences.
In the cavell case / have most
cautiously examined the decision of
the court With the help of all avail
able evidences have gone searching
ly into the case, so as to get all facts
and data concerning the same.
The result Is SO positive and the
accompanying circumstances are 80
clear that no cOurt-martial in the
world would have come to different
decision than that of the German court
in Brussels. This. is not case of
one single person only. but of a we'll
thoughtout and worldwide plot.

PERMANENT VS..
DIRT ROADS
By ]. N. Lowe, President Ma
tiOnaI Old Trails Road
Association
Association

The time has come for correct
definitions. When anyone says
he favors "good roads" ask him
to define his meaning. This sea-
son has demonstrated that no
road is a good road except a
hard surface road. That no dirt
road is a good doad in wet wealth
er. No road is a good one unless
it is travelable at all seasons.
Experience has demonstrated
that no investment is quite so
good as permanently built hard
surfaced roads. No people who
have experienced their benefits
would consent to have them de-
stroyed though twice their cost
be refunded. Their cost, compar-
ed to their benefits, is so small
as not to admit of argument.
1t has been estimated that Sa-
line county can build 1877 miles
of hard surfaced road with a Is
year bond issue at a cost of a.
oout SIS to the quarter section
of land, land worth $3.50 to 5000
per acre. Such a bond issue will
add from S25 to $50 per acre
to the value of the land. Saline
county has 454,000 acres of inn
proved farms, and the advanc-
ed value at $25 per acre, if this
system Of roads is made, will be
$11, 100000. An average enhanc-
ed value Of $25 per acre is a
reasonable one as no land will be
more than 5 miles from an inn
proved road.
Experience has also demon
strated that roads are valuable
just in proportion as they ego
somewhere" A cross country
Tor county seat road) is of great
value; a ~cross-state road is OF
much greater value; while a
Transcontinental Road is of in
conceivable value. Building one
cross-state highway insures an.
other, and lateral roads con.

Missouri's total receipts into
the general revenue fund, July
i, 1914, to July 1, 1915, the fis-
cal year just past, were $685.
434.47. The expenditures for the
public schools during the bienni-
al period, 1913 and 1914, (appro-
priations being made for two cal
endar years at a time), we're &c.
865, 899.88. The two sums above
enumerated are larger than ever
before, and the percentage of
the states total income spent
for schools is also much larger
than ever before. A moments
study of the above figures will
show that over one-half the
states total general revenue was
appropriated by the General
Assembly to the public schools,
a much greater proportion, and
a greater total sum than any
previous year, Notwithstanding
the insincere cry of a hostile
press in advertising only part of
the truth-to the effect that GER
tain fees were this year exclud-
ed from the so-called "one-third"
apportionment. While the zone
apportionment is smaller,
that is but one appropriation.
school appropriations
are so much in excess of
their usual size that their ex-
cess much more than offsets the
reduction in the only school ap-
preparation that is smaller.
