The Cavell Horror Shocks
the Civilized World

The execution of Miss Edith Cavell
the English nurse, by the Germans in
Belgium. in spite of the most determined
efforts of Brand Whitlock, the American
minister in Brussels, as well as those OF
the Spanish minister, fills the civilized
world with Indignation and horror.
The fact that the death sentence had
not been imposed upon any other woman
for the same crime" is one point which
will stand out prominently against her
executioners Also the fact that the Ger
man military authorities had repeatedly
promised to keep the American minister,
with whom British interests in Belgium
were left in charge, informed as to the
proceedings of the court, and failed to do
so. but FASTENED the execution so that 1t
would take place before he or anyone
else could know of the sentence imposed,
viii not improve the already strained
feelings which prevail in this country In
regard to Germany.
The German military court does not al
low its officers to see their clients, whom
they are to defend, before a trial, or to
see any documents pertaining to the case.
They are expected to learn the situation
from the evidence as it appears. Also
very little time is taken in which to ex-
anime witnesses and none to hunt UP
new evidence.
In this case, Miss Cavell was convicted
of assisting British and Belgians to cross
the border, which does not, it is said, con-
stitute the crime of espionage Had
they gone into Holland, she might have
saved herself on the point of their having
entered a neutral country; as 1t was, they
went to France and thence to England.
Miss Cavell was the head of nursing
school and hospital which had helped
train German nurses as well az others,
and she had nursed many wounded Ger
mans This, however, didn't prove a
mitigating circumstance. She was an
English woman and simply hadn't a
chance before q German military court,
defended" by German officers
Miss Cavell was made of the stuff of
which heroines are made. She did her
duty. as she saw it. and took her punish
ment without finching. Her name will
go down in history as one. of the noble
army of martyrs.
