received no mail and no packages while

wrote were ne received. There were
some French Italian prisoners in the

British seemed to get the worst treat

Back Again

TT WAS nearly 2 o'clock before was
i called back to the court. I had to sit
down facing the prosecutor, while beside
me was the interpreter. After having
stated my civil standing, the auditor asked
mo whether / admitted having helped to
recruit men of military age, knowing that
by so doing / gave an advantage to the
Allies and disadvantage to the Germans.
This was the formula at the head Of my
deposition. | replied simply-Yes.
"Here is a determined patriot" he said
as he arked my bill Of indictment. (What
was he writing?) do you admit having
been in communication with the following
persons and having given them sum of
about 1000 francs?"

"All right"
At that moment my counsel interrupted
to present letter from a German news
paper correspondent residing in Brussels to
whom I had previously rendered some
service. He evidently praised my conduct
on his behalf They asked if I knew him.

was a mistake, for l was never examined
again.
Soon after, the sitting was suspended.
| The court retired, the counsel went away
and we were left there, with orders to be
silent.
Little by little we got bolder and told

Then some soldiers arrived with great

Surveillance slackened, conversation be-

The Risks

In my frequent visits to Miss Cavell
The presence of lot of men was obvious
as soon as one entered the housewives,

her, and she replied calmly and resignedly:

VT is a striking document which G.
Hostelet, Doctor of Science, Brus-
- sells, publishes in the March number
of the English monthly, "The Nine
tenth Century" 1t is the story of the
trial of Edith Cavell, and it is told by
one who was condemned along with her.
DR.. Hostelet would have received, also, a
death sentence, but was saved by the
intervention in his behalf of German
journalist. His sentence was lightened
to five years of penal servitude.
The account is news. 1t shows with
singular force the working Of German
military justice. And it is essentially
human document, being an actual diary
kent during the tense days in the Prison
Of st. Giles, when the Brussels scholars
own life hung in the balance. The edi-
tor Of the magazine in which the diary
appears calls attention to the precision
of detail and also the "dry humor which
scarcely covers his anxiety for himself
and his fellow prisoners"
After some preliminary pages devoted
to his arrest by the German military au-
thorities and the sinister efforts to take
testimony such as would serve their own
devious and monstrous ends, DR.. Hos
telet, coming to Miss Cavells part,
writes:
Before telling what l saw of the trial 1
will explain briefly what had been, as far
as l knew it, Miss Cavells part up to her
arrest
After the battle of Mons Numerous Eng
lish wounded and fugitives were taken in
by the inhabitants of the district. Soon
they had to think of getting them away.
Among the wounded was staff colonel,
who, as soon as he was able to stand,
wished to get to the frontier so as to re-
turn to duty. An engineer On. O. brought
him to Brussels. This first stage proved
that he was not yet strong enough to en-
dure the fatigue of the rest of the journey.
With whom should he find sure refuge
if not with the English matron Of the
Nursing School, whose courage and devo-
ton were universally known. A few per
sons were in the secret? But soon other
wounded recovered and were fit for service
They were sent to Miss Cavell, who con-
sented to give them hospitality until guides
could be found to take them to the from
tier. But the way to the frontier became
more and more difficult, so that from De-
cember, 1914, till July, 1915, Miss Cavel's
house was always full, first of English SOL
diers, then of French, and lastly of young
Belgians trying to get out Of the country
to enlist.

 The dance given last Friday night was very successful affair. The mu- sic was very good and there was a good crowd present. Among those present were Craig Pottinger, Laur- ence Gray, Harry Truswell, Tom Long, Elmer Jackson, Victor Bong berg, Clarence Pulliam, Lester Fleck Merville Mills, John Conrad, Joe Han- ley, Ray Babbitt, Ed Babbitt, Herbert Babbitt, Ersell Stevens, L.

 Miss Mary Hanley was the guest of honor at delightful shower given at the home of Miss Bart last week.
 Jim Turpin visited at the Normal last week end.
 Some of the members of the fac ulty at Normal decided to leave this lowly plane and scale the heights, so despite the thunder warnings and the prevailing indictment weather they left in MT. Hendrix car. Mir. Creager, Mir. Bentel, MT. Van Hoose, MT. Hen drix and MT. Cloyd, of, Yuma, at tempted to climb to the top of the San Francisco peaks last Saturday. They were fairly successful for they got part of the way up when, strange to relate, the rain began to fall in tor rents, and they were forced to return home-a courageous, quiet, drenched set of climbers.
 The Walsh girls entertained at cards last week end. The guests were Mir. and Mrs. Carpenter, MT. and Mrs. Bentel, Miss Bush, Miss Saunders and Mrs. Saunders. Refreshments were served and every one had delightful time. , . .-
 Miss Dodson entertained at break fast last Saturday morning in honor of Miss Mary Hanley and Miss Eliza beth Ryan. Miss Hanley and Miss Ryan will not teach this next year, and their friends will surely miss them at Normal. All the guests brought handkerchiefs for the guests of honor. Those invited were Mrs. Bentel, Miss Boyer, Mrs. Creager, Mrs. Hanley, Miss Stephens, Miss Rose Walsh, Miss Margaret Walsh, Miss Alten, Miss Bush, Miss Stewart, Miss Jones. Miss Caldwell, Miss Hanley and Miss Ryan.

HOPE OF HAITI IN ITS WOMEN

The hope of Haiti is in it's women. Through all the years of aimless, self ish drifting they have gone on, stead fastly. They are going on today, do- ing their work, keeping homes to- gether, bringing children into the world, providing for them. There is an epic quality about those Haitian women as you can see them on the road.
 Day after day they come down to the market of Port au Prince. The more prosperous ones have donkey, most of them carry their loads on their heads. Their feet are bare; their garments are scanty as clothes can be. Many of them smoke pipes. Their laughter is always in your ears. You know that their men are loafing at home; they seem never to resent that, or, if they do, they do not let their resentment interfere with their work. Their carriage is superb; they owe that to the universal practice of carrying burdens on the head.
 It is the women who are responsi- ble for the neatness of the little matched houses you see along the roads, and of the yards about them Those yards are swept every day; you see no refuse, ever, no rubbish. And if you stop for water-which is pre- cious in the hills because as a rule it must be carried from a spring that may be a mile away--you are greeted with smile. There is very beauti- ful spirit of hospitality among these people, who are so poor that there is no real measure for thdr poverty. They are embarrassed if you offer them money in return for what they do for you.
 In Port au Prince, to be sure, you run small risk of causing embarrass- ment in that way! There is phrase in that city of universal currency. It rings in your ears all day long. It is the first greeting that comes to you when you step ashore-it is the last thing that is shouted to you as you lean over the rail when your steamer is sailing. It is:

TO WALK ACROSS CONTINENT

Rene Duyal left his home in Phila- delphia the other day on a pedestrian tour of the American continent that will carry him to San Francisco and cover an approximate distance of 4,230 miles.
 During. his long tramp Duval will subsist entirely on a vegetable die. and will drink nothing but water To demonstrate the value of vegetables over meat as food is the avowed ob- ject of his trip, Duval says. He is in good physical condition as the result of long training in the gymnasium of the Germantown Y. NJ. c. A., of which he is a member.
 Duval will stop at all Y. M. c. A.. buildings along the route to obtain the signatures of the secretaries as a yer ification of his achievement. He will sell pamphlets, the proceeds helping to pay his expenses.
 His impedimenta includes a knap- sack, hunting bag and knife, and a dog whip, the latter serving in lieu of a revolver. He also carries a camping outfit and raincoat. His cos tune comprises a Norfolk jacket, knickerbockers, puttees and heavy shoes.
 Duval says he is seeking no pedes- trian records and intends to take sev- eral side trips, although his route generally follows the Lincoln high way. He will walk until tired.
 During my walk I shall eat noth- ing but walnuts, almonds, filberts, raisins, leeks, oatmeal, fruits and green vegetables; no cooked vegeta- bles of any kind" said Duval just be- fore leaving.
 Duval is 43 years old. He was born in Paris, and has been in America for 25 years.

UP TO HIM

Young Jimson had a reputation to keep up. He was regarded as very great "wit."
 So one morning, when an unpopu- lar professor set the class to write an essay on Manners" Jimson sprang to his feet.
 May we write on Bad Manners 2" he asked amid titters.
 Certainly" replied the professor, blandly. "Just write about what you know best"
