CAM 7 HOLD OUT
MUCH LONGER
Ultimate Crushing of Little Nation
Admitted in London
OPPOSED BY TWO ARMIES
British Force of $4,000 at SaIonik
and More Troops Are on the
Way.

London, Oct. 27,-Replying to a
question by Earl Loreburn in the
House of Lords yesterday afternoon
as to the progress of the campaign in
the Balkans, the marquis of Lans-
downe. the unionist leader, who holds
"a seat in the cabinet without portio-
lio said; II must say with great re-
gret am afraid we must admit that
the progress of the campaign in north
ern Seryia has been such as to rem
der it highly impossible that the Ser
Wan army will be able to withstand
for any great length of time the at
tacks to which it is exposed from the
Austro-GeIman forces on the north,
aided by the stab in the back which
Seryia is receiving at the hands of
Bulgaria"
While there was no criticism of the
conduct of the near-eastern campaign
there was general demand, when
the House of Lords met, for informa-
tion and the suggestion OF smaller
cabinet to have charge of the war
received support Lord Lansdowne,
in his reply, gave general review OF
the Salonica operations. He explain
ed that the British force landed at
Salonice, which numbers about 49,
600 men. was sent at the request of
Servia, and at the instance of Venice
los { then premier) for the purpose
of enabling Greece to fulfill her
treaty obligations to Seryia. A much
stronger force had been placed under
orders at the same time the Salonica
troops We're dispatched. but its ulti-
mate destination would depend on
the situation and the report of Gen
Munro, the new British commander
in chief, who has already reached
the Gallipoli peninsula.

NURSE CALLED TRAITOR
Berlin Dispatch Says Scores of Men
Were Helped to Return TO Allies

Amsterdam. via London, Oct. "a
The following telegram received from
Berlin, by way Of Brussels, dealing
with the execution of Miss Cavell, is
published here today.
"As the foreign press is discussing
in an incorrect and exaggerated man
ner. the execution of the English
woman. Edith Cavell, for war treason,
the circumstances in the case, accord
ing to the facts may again be stated
1T was proved after long trial of
the sentenced persons, that they, for
some months past, had been engaged
in assisting Belgians of military age
to enlist in hostile armies, and in en-
abling french and English deserters
to escape the country. They had
many helpers and had organized
branches.
THE governor general had repeat
edly issued warnings against such ac-
tivity, pointing out that severe pun
ishment for such an action was un-
avoidable. The guilty persons were
sentenced in public sitting, accord
ing to the law based on the provisions
of the imperial penal code, and the
military penal code for war treason
and espionage. No special law exists
for Belgium and no so-called usage
of war" Influenced the verdict of the
court.
The accused, for the most part, ad
mitted their guilt and acknowledged
that they were aware of the severe
penalty they were risking.
Miss Cavell was the principal
agent in the plot to enlist Belgians
for the allies With regard to the as
sertion that she, in the course of her
profession unselfishly tended other
persons, it may be pointed out that
she earned a living by nursing, charg-
ing fees within the means of rich
people only
"Women also have been executed
in France as was instanced in March
last when the German woman, Marg.
aret Schmidt was executed at Nancy,
and in May at Dourges when the Ger
man, Optile Moss, was put to death.
THE English government may re-
member the cruelties committed by
Lord Kitchner during the Boer war
on women and children.
Our present enemies do not need
to protect their armies against a pop
ulation and a hostile occupied ter
ritory, nor are they under the neces-
sity of pronouncing such sentences,
for they have occupied so little hos
tile territory"

Disagree Over Plan to EVangeIize
Central and South America
WlDENS RIFT BETWEEN WINGS
seceders Objected to Action That
Would Affront Roman Catholic
Church.

New York, Oct 27.-Five High
church dignitaries resigned yesterday
from the Protestant Episcopal Board
of Missions after heated debate, in
which they had tried vainly to stop
that body from sending delegates to
the Pan-Protestant Congress at Pan
anna on the ground that such action
would be an affront to the Roman
Catholics.
They were the Right Rev. Reginald
H. Weller, Bishop of Fond du Lac,
Wis; the Right Rev. Alfred Harding,
Bishop of Washington. d. C.; the
Right Rev. G.. Mott Williams, Bishop
of Marquette, Mich the Rev. DR.. Will
liam t. Manning, rector of Trinity
Church, New York, and the Very Rev
Seleden p Delaney, dean OF All
Saints Cathedral, Milwaukee, who
on Nov. is to come to this city as
one of the clergy of the Church of
St. Mary the Virgin.
The vote which seems to deepen
and widen the rift between High
Church and Low, between the ritual
istic and the conservative wings, was
&c to 13. 1t was on the question of
resembling the previous action of the
board, which last May voted to ar
range to send delegates to the confer
ence. The ayowed purpose of that
congress, which is to take place next
February, is the evangelication of the
Central and South American repub-
lies by Protestant denominations.
