Edith Cayell's Body Removed.

A few days ago the body Of the brave
English nurse who was executed in
Belgium by the Germans was taken
to England for final burial, with great
military and civic 'honors. Edith
Cavell was the English nurse who was
executed summarily by the Germans
in 1915 for aiding prisoners to cross
the frontier into Holland. Her body
was exhumed at Brussels March II
and placed in double coffin Of zinc
and oak. The body was found clothed
in black dress under blue cloak, and
there was a black hat beside it, The
body was well preserved and the
features were perfectly recognizable.
1t is understood that the examina-
ton following the exhumation revealed
that the nurses death was instant
She was struck by four bullets, two Of
which entered the right side and two
the left, one OF them piercing the heart.
The coffin was placed on gun car
riage drawn by six black horses and
taken to the Care du Nord. Military
honors were paid at the Tir National
and at the station. The long route OF
the cortege was arranged in order TO
enable the public to pay its last re-
spects. The gun carriage was pre-
ceded and followed by British troops
with bands. The Belgian Army was
represented.
After a funeral service conducted
by Rev. H. Gahan, the British chaplain
who was with Nurse Cavell the night
before her execution, the coffin was en-
trained for Ostend, where it was placed
aboard a British warship and trans
ported TO Dover In London military
escort was provided, and the coffin
placed on a gun carriage covered with
the Union Jack and drawn to West
minister Abbey, where funeral SER
vices took place. Burial at Norwich.

When French War Brides Arrive.

There's whole world Of tragedy, and
comedy, too, when one of the big trans
ports carrying a few score of wal
brides of American soldiers abroad
docks in New York, says recent news
item. In very many cases the huS-
bands of the newlyweds are still in
England or France Red Cross work
ers go down TO the piers TO meet the
newcomers and chaperone them, but
in most instances relatives OF the
brides are there waiting to give them
welcome.
A little French girl, plainly of pea
SAINT stock, trim and neat, with rosy
cheeks and big blue eyes, came down
the gang-plank of one Of the last "war
bride" transports and cast timid eyes
over the crowd. Her husbands mother
and aunt were going to meet her, she
had been told.
Suddenly two greasy-faced women
with unkempt hair and dirty clothes
pushed through the throng and tried to
take her in their arms. They were
the new mother-in-law and aunt-in-
law. She shrank away from them and
clung TO a Red Cross worker for few
minutes. She was crying when she
went away with them TO begin new
life in an East Side tenement, with none
OF the fresh air of the Lorraine valleys.
There was another little drama the
same morning. A tall, elderly gentle
man, with snow-white hair and fine
features, waited as the gang-plank was
thrown aboard for some sight OF his
sons bride. He was from Denver, one
of the Red Cross workers said. His
only son cabled him that he had mar
ried "a pippin" in Paris and asked him
to come east to meet her at the boat.
Down the gang-plank came paint
ed-face creature of some forty sum-
mers, wearing an extremely short skirt
and all the colors of the rainbow. She
threw herself at the man from Denver,
exclaiming in broken English: as zisS
re fazzer of Tom?"
For just an instant the old mans
head dropped, as if he had been stun
ned by a blow. Then he recovered,
forced a smile and extended his hand
in greeting. The pair departed in
taxi.
One another morning the Red Cross
workers had a difficult time straight
ening out a great bridal tangle. A SOL
dier named Green, from little western
town, sent his French bride ahead on a
transport. Her name was Marguerite.
By some trick of fate another soldier
from the south, bearing the same name,
also married a French Marguerite and
they came to America on the same boat
The relatives of the western lad gath
cred up the wrong Marguerite, kissed
her and hurried her off to hotel be-
fore the southern Green discovered the
mistake. They finally traced their new
relative by discovering where she had
sent her baggage, and the mistake was
righted.

CHAS. A. JOHNSON.

We very heartily approve of Mr..
Johnson's suggestion that some sort of
a safeguard should be placed at Duff
fields. II this road shall be fully inn
proved and made the popular highway
that it will undoubtedly become, il will
be absolutely necessary to protect the
lives of those who travel it, So far
as we know there is not a watchman at
one B. & o. crossing in Jefferson
county. We hope that the railroad
company will not antagonize but will
cooperate with our County Court in
affording protection to the travelling
public.

Editor Register-lnasmuch as the
County Court has adopted il, the State
Highway Commission without doubt
will approve as a Glass A" or main
county road" for survey and improve
ment that part of our system of roads
running through Charles Town, Duff
fields, to Shepherdstown, TO the Mary
land State line
Now, what do We find on this high
way at Dufields? Certainly one OF ths
most dangerous railroad crossings in
the county. Only last week the writer
was returning TO Charles Town from
Shepherdstown, with some friends in
a car, and when we slowed up on the
north side of this crossing fast train
came within twenty-five feet of strik-
ing an occupied vehicle leaving the op'
posite or south side.
This particular crossing is veri-
table death trap, east and west bound
trains passing with little time elapsing
between the running time of each.
What chance then has an autoist or the
driver of any other wheeled vehicle TO
escape, should one of these forty-hve
miles an hour trains loom up in the
short space of time one has for obSer-
vation in daylight, up and down the
several tracks at this point? II is, of
course, decidedly more perilous after
dark.
Does it not seem to the reader of
this article that this particular main line
crossing should be Safeguarded with
out further delay, by the Baltimore &
Ohio officials placing a watchman
there, or by the installation of auto
matte gates? ? The loss of human life at
this point under the circumstances
would cost the Baltimore & Ohio peo-
pie infinitely more than the cost of
number of these gates, or the wages Of
watchman for quite a number of
years.
The Norfolk and Western people
have dangerous crossings at Shenan-
doah Junction and at ShepherdStown;
however, when a train is approaching
bells ring loudly after dark, and a
watchman confronts one with the stop
and co. sign in the day time; and yet,
the writer believes, the Baltimore &
Ohio people claim to be the originators
of the safety First" slogan.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION

The necessary number OF stat
es has given assent ito ratification
of the federal prohibition and sale
of LIQUOR are forbidden by law.
Social drinking will become an
abandoned custom and arranging
the appropriate service Of wines
for formal dinner will become
one Of the lost arts.
The United States is the first
great nation to make the expert
ment of nationwide prohibition.
If it proves satisfactory here o.
Their nations will doubtless adopt
it.
II was decided that the best
form of ienbodying this great
change would be in the form OF
an amendment to the Constitution
This will ensure the most vigorous
enforcement Of the law, and will
enable the effect of it upon the
nation to be speedily observed.
The fact that so many Of the
states have consented to ratifica-
ton is significant Of a great chan
ge in public opinion A few
years ago it would have been
thought absolutely impossible that
the United States should go bone
dry within the lifetime of the
present generation. Even among
thase who heartily approve Of
the principal of prohibition il
would have seemed inconceivable
that the nation should adopt It
Admitting that the use Of alcho
hol was subject to great abuse
would the public "stand for" its
withdrawal
The fact that the nation enter
ed into the war and that prohihi
ton was strictly enforced in tn,
army gave a great impetus to it
advance The practically Of ma
tion-wide prohibition has beer
more and more confirmed in tn
