GERMANY DEFENDS SHOOTING OF NURSE Berlin, Oct. 25.—German official- dom has no apoligies to make for Miss Edith Cavell’s execution. Undersecretary Zimmerman today summed up the Teutonic view of the incident as follows: “This punishment was executed to deter others who boast the proroga- tive of their sex to participate in such undertakings. “If one recognizes sex as a preroga- tive, then it is seen that the door, of intrigue is open to women, who are often more skilled in this art than the most perfected spy. “He who carries responsibilities cannot, dare not, recognize it, despite the adverse judgment of the whole world. - He must often do his duty, though the hardest. If .others-are pardoned, it will be at the expense of the saféety of our army.” Zimmerman added that he had read the official report, showing that the execution was carried out in the regular way, according to the report of the physicidn present. He con- demned denunciation of German for the execution, by enemies, while ig- norant of the facts. CITY COUNCIL MEETS TONIGHT.
