NUMBERING A NURSE.

The judicial murder of Edith Cavell,
the British nurse in Belgium who was
tried and convicted on the charge OF
helping Belgums and English to escape
from Brussels, is the foulest spot on
the Germon escutcheon, which has of
late become so bloody that it is difficult
to make any new stain upon it.
Miss Cavell was a nurse who for a
year Mustered to the wounded
in Brussels, Germans included, with
out distinction of race. The German
claim is that she admitted aiding some
of those who fled, but such action did
not make her spy under normal mill
lary law, nor does it bring the death
penalty, except as new methods of pun
lshment have been devised by the Ger
mans in Belgium who, lost to all sense
of justice or humanity, have set up the
standard of Prussim Might as the only
law in the world.
Even this foul deed could not be car
ried out misleading foreign Ministers
who had interested themselves in the
case. Our own Ministers was deceived
as was Spain's Ambassador Nothing
in the premises called for the execution
OF the woman. At most, she deserved
only to be kept in confinement. Inside
of few hours she was tried, convicted
and executed, while heroic efforts to
save her were prevented by lying Ger
man officials. This is the supreme ex-
hibit of Prussian Kultur. 1t is of
piece with sinking of the Lusitania
and the murder of women and children
when Belgium was first invaded. There
is no excuse for this official act. 1t
was as foul as ever was committed.
The truth is that German inhumanitv
has exceeded anything the world has
ever known or conceived And we refer |
to official German acts, and not to the |
brutality of soldiers octing without
orders. If civilization and humanity |
are in the least dependent on a system |
originating in Germany, then it were
better that the earth explode and all of |
its elements return to primeval chaos. |
The murder of tine Duke d'Enghien was
the blacklist spot in the career of Ma |
poleon, but it was brilliancy itself com
pared with the murder of a woman who !
had given her life to following the prin- |
ciples and teaching of the meek and |
l0wly Jesus. Li9u rer.

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO. June 12-Fear of damage
from heavy rains northwest had a good
deal to do today with an advance in
the value of wheat. The market
closed strong at q to / 1s above last
night. Corn gained l to 1ha1A, oats
finished unchanged to 1s higher and
provisions down 21sa5
For the first time this season anxiety
as to the spring crop became the lead
ing influence affecting the wheat mar
ket- The fact was generally appre-
ciated that the next few weeks would
be a critical time in the spring wheat
belt, and that excessive moisture
formed an element of danger, especial
out Minnesota and the Dakotas was
said TO have followed almost daily
rains since the beginning of May.
There was also a renewal of misgiv-
ings in regard to the effect of recent
frosts in the northwest. Most of the
strength from these sources showed
itself in the last hour of the session.
Quite break in the wheat market
preceded the final bulge. An upward
tendency at the start was for a while
had begun in Kansas with weather of
an Unexpectedly favorable sort, which
promised to continue until after Sun
day at least. Subsequent rumors of
European buying of new crop winter
grades helped to bring about rally.
Bulls controlled the corn market from
the outset. Adverse crop reports from
Iowa and Nebraska were emphasized
by similar advices from other states,
notably the Missouri. Demand from
the seaboard grew much more liberal,
and country offerings diminished.
In oats the feature was selling pres
sure on the September delivery. Sew
eral big commission houses led the
bear attack on that option.
Lower prices for hogs weakened pro-
visions. On the decline, packers came
TO the support of lard and ribs, but
seemed to neglect pork.

COFFEE MARKET,

NEW YORK, June 12-The market

scattered covering and a little local

spired by the further advance of Rio

RISKS IN DRUG PLANTS.
No Unusual Opportunities for Prof
it. Saws U. S. Bulletin.

The growing Of drug plants does not
offer any unusual opportunities for
profit to the American farmer, gov
ernment specialists assert.
Drug plants are subject to the same
diseases and risks as other crops. it is
pointed out in a new bulletin on
Drug Plants Under Cultivation is
sued by the Department of Agriculture,
and. in addition, knowledge of the best
methods of cultivation and handling
is less general than in the case of other
and better known crops.
Prospective growers are urged. there
fore, to acquaint themselves with mar
ket conditions before investing any
considerable sum of money in this way.
In general, the bulletin says, the
growing of drug plants in this coun-
try seems to be more suitable to well
equipped cultivators who devote them
selves entirely to 1t than to the gen.
eral farmer who looks upon 1t only as
a minor source of income.
