SPY'S APPEAL REJECTED
Woman Shot By French Stirs German Paper to Inquire Regarding Indig- nation Over Killing of Miss CaveII.

Berlin, Aug. 26, by Wireless to Say ville.-"In Marseilles on August 22, woman named Pfaat, 2S years old, was shot as a spy" says the Overseas News agency. She had appealed against the death sentence of the court-mar- tial at Marseilles, but the Paris court of appeals rejected her plea.
 The Cologne Gazette states this is not the first case In which the French have put a woman to death during the war. It recalls the agitation of the English and French press in re- gard to the case of Miss Edith Cavell, whose execution for high treason and continued spying caused these news papers to express indignation. The Cologne Gazette asks whether the same ideas Will hold good now that Ger man woman has been put to death by the French
 A Marseilles despatch of August 22 told of the execution of Felice Pfaat as a spy.
 The charge against Miss Cavell, who was put to death in Brussels last fal1 was given In dispatches at that time as having assisted British, French and Belgians to escape from Belgium.

lNSPECTS BANTAM SUSPECTS
superintendent Reel>s Goes to Camp to Consider Cases of Boys There.- Schools May Open on Schedule.

pr. T. 'E. Reeks, acting as deputy state health officer under Dr. John T. Black, secretary of the state board of health, is this afternoon visitin g the Bantam Lake district to inspect the bnNS Tn camp there for the pur- I'"se Of allowing all possible to go nome. The period of incubation has passed since the boys have been in quarantine and those who show no signs of developing the disease will probab bly, be allowed to go.
 The reported case of paralysis in Colllnsville is not the scourge said the doctor, speaking officially this morning. He inspected the suspect yesterday and was able to give a clear bill of health as far as paralysis is concerned.
 There are no new developments Tn the disease in this city, which seems to be fairly immune. Needless to say many children coming from in 1ected districts are being closely watched, as they will be for two weeks, within which time the disease, of there is any, should develop. Many parents call daily al the health office for health certificates for children which they wish to remove to other points. It is thought proba able now that the schools will be opened here on September 12, as there is nothing to gain by delaying the opening. The joint meeting of the school and health boards, to decide the matter, has not yet been held but it Is understood that it will be recommended that the schools open as planned.
