LONDON, Oct 23.-In her death
before German firing squad Miss
Edith Cavell. Englishwoman, OF
Brussels, served her country better
than she did in life fhen she aided
allied soldiers to escape from Bel

caused Already spurred BY the re-

new spurt following the publication
OF the report Of Rev Cahan. a Brit
ish clergyman His story is an heroic
death, seldom equaled In historic an
mails. on top Of the wave of popular
indignation the king issued an appeal
for more men and yet more" Hc
called the present moment grave and
said additional forces are needed TO
insure victory and an enduring
peace
II is understood the royal advisors
hastened the appeal because they be-
lieved there has never been a more
opportune time Miss Cavll's family
suggested a memorial London hospit-
al for her rather than "cavell Bat

with the family that similar reprisals
by England would be "unthinkable.'
The German story that the woman
was one OF the leaders OF a wide
spread organization to aid Belgians
OF military age to escape the country
is secuted as ridiculous. Admittedly
she acted independently in few
cases.

THE STEEL MARKET.
Improved Outlook Now for Rail
Mflls OF Country.

The improved outlook for the rail
mills of tho various steel companies was
a lively topic Of conversation yesterday
throughout. the steel industry. The APP
pearance of railroads as buyers of large
quantities Of rails and the indications
that they would loon place orders for
new equipment were a basis for great
optimism among the manufacturers.
Already contracts have been placed for
about 1000 steel cars, while Eastern
n Western railroads have recently
ordered about 100000 tor Of rails.
One OF the strongest factors Of the
situation is the booking by the steel
companies OF business into 1915,
Advancing prices are here in force
and even better prices are ooked FOR
in the zeal future. The latest advances
have been generally 80 cents a ton in
iron prices. while billets ave risen from
so cents to 81 a ton. In connection with
the new equipment orders II was said
that Illinois Central would spend ST.
900. 900 for 1000 freight cars, one-half
of which will be box cars and the other
half refrigerator cars.
Some OF the leading rail orders al
ready booked are $4,000 tons for Louis
willie n Nashville. 10000 tons for
Atlantic Coast Line and 80, 1000 tons for
Atchison.
In England the export movement In
pig iron has been seriously hampered
by lack of ships.
