II is planned TO place the list OF eli

army in the hands OF the board as soon
as II can be revised by the Adjutant-

Grafton Of the list leads to the conclu-
sion that IL will be necessary to have
a permanent board to keep the list UP

To prevent any unnecessary delay II
has been deided that a list of ehgibles
must be kept in the War Department

necessary to call out a volunteer army,

The Fallen.


The case of Miss Cavell has excited horror
throughout the world. To kill woman, deliber-
ately and in cold blood, and for violation of
the rules Of war. that in itself signifies loyalty to
country and devotion to humankind
The act is still spoken of as il il were the
browning infamy the part of the Germans,
the supreme proof of their ruthlessness And yet
it is conceded that Miss Cavell, residing in Bel
gium persistently aided the enemy and that she
frankly proclaimed her guilt She did with a
boldness, doubtless prompted by her womanly
sympathy, what the Belgians with greater adroit-
ness had been continually doing since the out
break of the war. If they hadn't done it the King
of the Belgians wouldn't have been able to jim
crease the number of his troops from a handful to
a good-sized army. And pathetic as the death OF
Miss Cavell was, it was not nearly so terrible as
that of thousands of men who for hours and even
days and weeks, before dying, had lain in
anguish. She must have been sustained by the
feeling that she was giving her life for her own
people and that hers was the death of a heroine.
But to kill womanl" The words are often
heard when Miss CavePs case is spoken Of. II is
indeed lamentable that men should stand together
and shoot high-minded woman under any eircum-
stances. But it is one of the many evidences the
Germans giving Us that they do not hesitate

wanted to terrify other women who might be Civ
ing the enemy similar service.
Is it really so bad to kill woman in such a
situation as Miss Cavells? Is it any worse than
killing a man, Perhaps the questions are not
worth considering The matter is not to be de-
cided by reason. The best answer is that brutal
izng as the influence of is, even on the feel
ings of those of US who at safe distance, it
nevertheless has thus far left in the heart of the
world remnant of consideration for the lives of
women 1t has not wholly quenched the spark Of
chivalry.

We think great deal of those who fall in war
and moved by the accounts of their
numbers and of their sufferings The zone
of the allies is dotted with graveyards, rows on
rows of little boards marking the graves, with
names and without. The Germans are more prac-
teal after their generally efficient habit At the
close of battle they gather their dead in heaps
and reduce them to ashes.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1915-11-26

And yet it is unquestionabe that women are
among the greatest sufferers from war. Though,
even in the days of Zeppelin raids, their names
are seldom found in the ranks of the fallen they
are nevertheless there, in large numbers and in
more than one sense. The worst horrors of war
are scarcely punishable. They affect women in
the most intimate way destroying many life
without carrying the relief and recompense OF
death. Compared with the fate of such women
Miss Cavells death was glorious.
