ly aimed low and she was hit only
about the legs. The German officers
then shot her through the head with
a revolver"
People Are Aroused.
Seldom have the people been arouS-
ed to such a pitch. Miss Cavell. the
British nurse, is called the modern
Joan of Arc Special services will be
held in her memory in churches to-
morrow. Sir George Frampton, the
famous sculptor has offered to model
Miss Cavell as a national memorial.
Suggestions are pouring into the press
from every station of life as to re-
prisals and memorials for the nurse.
1t is suggested. among other things
that a "Cavell regiment" be raised.

ecution OF the England woman has
