LONDON, Oct. 22.-British rage
and horror at the execution by the
Germans at Brussels OF the English
nurse, Miss Edith Cavell, fully re-
ported in a communication published
In detail by the London Press today,
from Brand Whitlock, American min
| ister in Belgium, promises appre-
| ciably to effect war sentiment In Eng
| land.
Enlistments were unusually brisk
| today and In Official circles this was
generally attributed to the feeling or
rage against the Germans, aroused by
the Cavell case.
What little talk there has been In
. few quarters lately Of the possiDii-
ity Of restoring peace also has been
effectually silenced. The Cayell Incl
dent appeared to have done more
than any previous event, oven of the
highest International Importance, to
crystalize sentiment in favor OF wag-
ing the war against the kaiser to Ine
bitter end.
That by helping British and French
soldiers and Belgians Of military age
to get out Of Belgium and across the
channel to England, Miss Cavell had
committed technical offense which
exposed her to death sentence under
the strict letter OF military law, was
admitted by the London newspapers
. in their comments on the case. Her
actual execution, however. In view
Of the fact that no act of espionage
had been established against her and

tute where she has cared for wound

own countrymen, the Belgians or the
French, was denounced by the entire
press as beyond belief, IL the circum-
stances were not incontrovertibly at
tested.
In fact, it was pointed out, the
story, when first told on unofficial
authority. was not very seriously re-
celved, the general impression being
that II not fiction, 1t had at least
oeen much exaggerated and that the
uermans would prove on investiga-
uon, to have q more or less satisfac-
tory defense.

ever the papers emphasized. not only
iuiiy verified the earlier version, but
ADDED details which made the affair
sun more shocking.

the kaiser, who according to the Elk
change Telegraph, has notified the
king Of Spain of his action, to the
Countess De Belleville, Mile. Thulliel'
and others condemned to death on
charges similar to the one Of which
Miss Cavell was found guilty.
Indeed It was the widespread be-
lief here that in the cases where par
dons were granted, mercy was shown
because the condemned were French
or Belgians, while that mercy was re-
fused to Miss Cavell on account OF the
Germans hatrect of her as an Eng
lish woman. The best informed cir
cles, however, did not incline to this
view In such quarters the opinion
was more generally held that the Ca
veil execution was rushed at the or
ders OF the German military governor
OF Belgium because he feared the
kaiser would extend clemency IN this
instance also, IL given an opportunity,
which 1t was thought the governor
deemed likely to weaken the author
ity OF his courtmarttal.
There was considerable speculation
concerning the effect publication OF
his report will have on Minister Whit
locks relations with the Germans.
The document is plain statement OF
facts, unaccompanied by any arrign-
ment of German authorities or by any
conclusions Of the minister's own. 1t
presents the Germans in such a light,
however, from the very nature OF the
story that it was regarded as certain
they will see at once the harm 1t
must do them in public opinion every
where. The situation was not regard
ed as one in which complaint OF the
minister can very we'll be made, but
that his position will be rendered diff

as extremely likely.
Among the characteristic express

newspapers, in commenting on the Ca
veil case are:

tility." "Unspeakable ruthlessness.
"Frfghtfulness without mercy Foul

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Another
regiment Of infantry was ordered TO-
day to Brownsville, Texas, by Secre-
tary Of War Garrison to reinforce Gen
eral Funston's border patrol. the
Twenty-eighth infantry was ordered
from Texas City and the Twenty-third
infantry was ordered from Jackson
vile, Fla, to Galveston.
The Twenty-eighth infantry was the
last of the Texas City garrison, anu
its departure for Brownsville indicates
the seriousness with which the war
department regards the recent borde'
raids. Because it is necessary to have
a regiment in reserve, the twenty
third infantry was ordered taken from
Jacksonville, where target practice
was in progress.
Secretary Garrison today gave the
Justice department a complete report
on the two last bandit raids and ask
ed the department to lave its secret
service agents assist in stamping ou'
the outlaw bands.
Esta ablishment Of an army secret
service corps to get information re
garding the bandits, is seriously con
sidered. General Funston probably
will be given authority to employ sucf
detectives. The department of justice
agents will also aid in tracing the
bandits.
Another drastic measure considere1

The situation is the tensest since

The tune may be described as whistleable. The song is dedi- cated to Pine Bluff Lodge No. 149. The title is T Want To Be An Elk" Here are the words: Willie was a college chap
