CAVELL PATIENT
LAUDS HER WORK
Columbia Student Tells
How She Nursed Him
i'm Brussels.

Probably the only person in this city
or perhaps in the whole United States
who had been nursed back to health in
Belgium by Miss Edith Cavell, the Eng
hsh woman executed by the German
military authorities, is Prentiss Gil
bert, Of 627 West 115th Street.
Mr.. Gilbert, who ia taking a post
graduate course at Columbia Univer-
| sity, spoke OF Miss Cavell last night as
woman of strong personality. Her
courage and frankness in testifying be-
/ fore the German court martial he de-
clared, were entirely in keeping with the
intense patriotism so apparent in her
work, her speech and her aims gen
orally.
"Her death, and particularly the
summary manner in which her splendid
career was ended by the Germans in
Brussels" he said, "has distressed mo
greatly.
81 met Miss Cavell for tho hrst time
In June, 1914, just about two months
before the war. | was making a trip
alone through Europe and was stricken
with a fever in Brussels. When one is
/ i'll and alone in foreign land. where
the language and the ways of the peo-
pie are strange, a woman like Miss
Cavell and an institution such as she
managed is boon to the stricken
traveller.
unable TO leave the Hotel Metro
pole, where was staying, telephoned

pital At once he recommended the es-
tablishment of Miss Cavell. known as
the Institut Medical dBerkendael, in
Rue Berkendael, in the Ixelle quarter.
! II consists of two small houses OF the
average Flemish type, with accommoda-
tions for about twenty beds. While it
is a philanthropy, in way, charge IS
made equivalent TO the average price
paid for hospital service in New York"
A Woman of Great Dignity.
Mr.. Gilbert said that as soon as he
was carried to the hospital Miss Cavell
received him and visited his room
daily. Although Injured 70 hospital
work and little given to expressions of
needless and deterrent sympathy for
patients, her daily visits 10 the suffer
ers under her charge were xceedingly
welcome.
Miss Cavell impressed me as a
woman of great dignity" he continued.
Whenever she appeared | was i'm
pressed by this omnipresent char
scteristic She was a woman OF force
full character a superior woman more
than a woman Of magnetism. What the
reports said Of her before and at the
time of execution were exactly what
| would have expected OF her.
"She was woman Of medium height,
slender and wiry, and capable, i'm
agine, Of much physical and mental en-.
durance, such as would be required OF
a person engaged in her sort OF work.

u. 5. CAN'T ACT
IN CAVELL CASE
Germans Were Within
Legal Rights, Washing
ton Officials Believe.
[Fvm The Tribune Burcsul

Washington, Oct. 22-The State De-
partment is powerless 10 act in the
case of Miss Edith Cavell, executed
by the German authorities in Brussels.
Expressions of horror were heard to-
day In official circles, but in view Of
tho unquestioued legality of the. act IL
is believed a formal protest would be
out of place.
The account OF the activity of the
American Minister, Brand Whitlock, in
Miss Cavelrs behalf has created pro-
found impression. Many officials de-
clare that the public condemnation
which Germany has invited will be far
more damaging to her cause than any
official protest.
ave do not question Germany's legal
right to execute Miss Cavell,' said a
high State Department official. "but let
US hope the German government will
not stoop so low as TO defend the crime
on legal grounds. Disavowal OF the act
and punishment of the offending officer
is Berlin's only hope Of escaping the
scorn Of outraged humanity. There is
no neral law that could justify the
Staying Of Miss Cabell or the duplicity
Of the German authorities at Brus stls
toward the American Minister"
Secretary Lansing had no report to-
day either from Ambassador Page or
Minister Whitlock on the execution Of
Miss Cavell. As communication, how
ever, is carried on directly between
American embassies and legations
abroad concerning prisoners and for
eign subjects under their care, officials
do not regard the published correspon-
dence between Mr.. Page and Mr.. Whit
lock without reference to the State
Department as unusual

These figures show an average loss to
the British army of nearly $500 men a
day. This is considerably heavier than
the casualties earlier in the war and
reflects the losses Of the British in the
recent severe ighting in Belgium. Dur
ing the summer the losses averaged
about 800 daily. In April and May.
when the heaviest fighting the Oar
