The forthcoming publication of the report of Brand Whitlock, American min- ister to Belgium, on his efforts in Miss Cavell’s behalf is awaited with keenest interest. This report will be pub- lished in tomorrow morning's news- papers. Report Long One. The Mail says the report is a long one, and adds: “This account will strike a note of horror throughout the world. It will tell of the wonderfui heroism of a woman who had nursed German wounded. It will tell of the greatest fight for a woman’s life that was ever fought, of unavailing efforts of nobles and neutrals to combat the callous secret cunning of the Germans.” The Post publishes today a letter from Miss Cavell’s cousin concerning her devotion to her work as a nurse. Voluntarily Remained. “My cousin’s intense devotion to the ; alleviation of suffering caused her to devote her life to nursing in Brussels,” the letter says. “She voluntarily re- mained there to continue her work when the city was taken by the Ger- mans. She would have nursed a German with as much tender care as an Englishman. “In a letter to me she said, ‘We have no wounded here now. The al- lies do not come here and the Ger- mans are sent back to their own coun- try. The few that remain are nursed by their own countrywomen, so we are denied the great consolation of be- ing of use in our own special way.’ Died Martyr’s Death. “She allowed the womanly quality of compassion to get the better of prudence and self-interest. For this she suffered untold miseries and died a martyr’s death.” English newspapers drew a parallel between the case of Miss Cavell in Belgium and that of Mrs. Louise Her- bert, who was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment as a spy in England. Mrs. Herbert's appeal was heard at Durham yesterday. She is a German, wife of an English curate at Darling- ton. She admitted that she had sought information regarding muni- tions and intended to send this infor- mation to Germany. The judge asked her yesterday: “Did you intend to send the information to Germany if you got the chance?" ‘“Yes, I did,” she replied. Corresponded With Germany. Mrs. Herbert also admitted she had corresponded with Germany through friends in Switzerland. The judge, astonished by her frank answer, re- marked: ‘“This woman has a con- science—she wishes to answer truth- fully and deserves credit for that. At the same time, she is dangerous.” He afirmed the sentence of six months’ imprisonment. Lusitania Lesser Crime “A crime that dwarfs even that of the Lusitania,” was the characteriza- tion of the execution of Miss Cavell, in a discourse by Dr. Ingram, Bishop of London, at a Trafalgar Day ser- vice in St. Martin’s church today. “Always, up to now,” said the bishep, “Chivalry has enlightened the horrors of war. But it is not so with our enemies of today, whose latest crime is the murder in cold blood of a poor, defenseless English girl.” City Items John Quinn is in New York. The case of W. J.

H. Crawford of the Boys’ club has instituted a systematic search for him. The 300 members of the Boys’ club have been callea to aid in the search for the boy and a reward of a five dollar gold piece is offered to them or members of the Boy Scouts who furnish a clue to his present whereahouts. The youngster was last seen on Thursday, October 7, in an automobile which was bound for Plainville. Young Lee was persistently absent from school and finally Principal W. C. Freinch wrote to Truant Officer An- drews asking if something drastic should not be done in the case. Mr. Andrews left the letter at the home of the youngster, at 86 Hartford avenue, so that his rather might see it. The boy, however, forstalled him, coming home at noon and spying the letter, he decided that it meant re- form school for him and immediately decamped. His parents are anxious for his return and the school authori- ties have given their word that he will be given another chance should he come home. Young Lee is 13 years old and when he left was attired in a blue serge suit, gray cap and tan shoes with rubber soles. APPLE TREE BLOOMS. Nature is beginning to cut up and | covert something scandalous. Here in November when all the trees should be tucked in for their winter sleep. the old Dame who sets the fashion for frivolous foliage is begining to get ner- | vous and as a result nany trees around the city are bursting into bloom: The latest to draw attention on this account is an apple tree in a yard adjoining the Elks’ property on ‘Washington street. FAREWELL SURPRISE PARTY A farewell surprise party was held last evening at the home of Mrs. Charles Miller, 14 West Pearl street, in nonor of Mrs. Hildur Leduc.

Clark, then president of the New Haven and named as a co-conspira- tor in this case, had had a conversa- tion with the witness about the com- petition. Clatmed Reduction Unfair. Mr. Mellen said at that time the New Haven had announced a reduc- tion in the running time of three pas- senger trains from Boston to New York and that he went to Clark and protested that this reduction was un- fair to the New York and New Eng- | lana. “I persuaded him not to make a change in these trains,” sald the wit- | ness. “What did you him ? “I told him all the things that were likely to happen.” “What were those things?"” “Well, I had in my pocket a copy of an advertisement which I said 1 was going to put in the papers that afternoon announcing that we would run a train to Allyns Point to connect by boat to New York and that the fare between Boston and New York vould be $1.

Two months after this, Mellen said, he became second vice president in charge of traffic of the New Haven. “Who employed you?” “Charles P.

Mr. Swacker then téok up with the witness the New Haven’'s acquisition of the Housatonic, which was one of the New York and New England con- nections with New York. do to persuade ‘Wilson Point, Conn. ing only a “nuisance value.” When the New Haven got Housatonic, the car float connection | was discontinued, he said.

After the Housatonic was secured, “The New Haven,” sald Mr. Mellen, “showed a disinclination to come for- ward with its proportional share of the deficit.” Not Sure on Foreclosure. Whether the New Haven then caus- ed the foreclosure of the terminal company’s property, the witness said he was not sure. It was possible, he thought, that the New Haven purchased outright the New England’s interest in the com- pany before the foreclosure or that it was a joint foreclosure. At any | rate, the New Haen gt the property | in the foréclosure sale, “Do you know whether J. P.

Returning to the subject of his en- trance into the New Haven, Mr. Mel- | len testified that Clark asked him to institute a suit against he New Eng- land and that he did it through Bos- ton brokers.
