SHOOTINGOFBRITISH NURSE WAS JUST German Foreign Office Defends Execution of Miss Cavall Berlih, Oct. 25.—Dr. Alfred F. M. Zimmerman, German under secretary for forcign affairs, has issued an ofli- cial explanation of the recent execu- tion in Belgium of Miss Edith Cavell, the British nurse. He prefaced his remarks by the declaration that he had examined the evidence with the greatest care and found the verdict, though regrettable, to be just. His statement follows:— “I sce by the British and the Amer- ican press that the shooting of an English woman and the conviction of several other women in Brussels for treason have created a great impres- sion and that we are being severely criticised. It is, indeed, hard that & woman must be executed, but remem- ber to what shall a state come which is in war if it allows to pass unnotic- ed a crime against the safety of .its armies because committed by wom- en. No law book in the world, least of all those dealing with war regula- tions, remarks such a differtiation and feminine sex has but one preference according to legal usages, namely that women in a delicate ‘condition may not be executed. Otherwise man and woman are equal before the law, and only the degree of guilt makes a dif- ference in the sentence for the crime and its consequences: World-Wide Conspiracy. “In the Cavell case I have reviewed the decision of the court and exam- ined the evidence down to the small- est details. The result is so convine- ing and all the circumstances are so clear and convincing that no court- martial in the world would have reached any other decision. For it concerns not the act of one single persons, rather it concerns well thought out world-wide conspiracy, which succeeded for nine months, to WINES, WHISKEY and BEER Extra Inducement For WEDNESDAY DOLLAR DAY HILDING NELSON 172-174 Arch St. i $1.00 Day 1 AT THE RUBBER STORE v 3 Champion X Spark Plugs 4 Mosler Spark Plugs .................. 3 Red Head Spark Plugs. ...... 5 $1.50 Diminishing Auto Mirror ... .. 4 Columbia Batteries .......

SEE OUR WINDOWS FOR Dollar Day Specials WEDNESDAY, } Sovereigns 160 Main St., - OCTOBER 27th Trading Co., - New Britain render the most valuable services to the enemy to the aisadvantage of our army, Countless British, Belgian and French soldiers' now again are fighting in the allied ranks, who owe their escape from Belgium to the activity of the band now sentenced, at lthe head of which stood Miss Ca- vell. “With such a situation under the very eyes of the authorities only the utmost severity can bring relief, and the government that does not adopt the strictest measures violates the most elemental duty towards the ar- my and its safety, These duties in war are greater than any other. Given Benefit of Doubt. “All those convicted were fully cognizant of the significance of their actions. The court went into just this | point with particular care, and ac- quitted several co-defendants only because it believed doubt existed re- garding the cognizance of the pun- ishableness of their actions. Those convicted knew what they were doing. Countless public proclamations had declared that support of enemy armies would be treated with the severest penalties, even that the life of ‘trai- tors would be sacrificed. “I admit, certainly, that the motive of those convicted was not unable and that they acted out of love for the fatherland- But in war time one must be ready to seal one's love for the fatherland with one’s blood, whether one opposes . the enemy in battle or whether one commits acts in its in- terest which Jjustly carry with them the death penalty. Among our Russian prisoners are several girls who fought against us In soldiers’ uniforms. Should one such have fallen no one would accuse us of treating women cruelly. So why now that another woman has met the death which she risked quite as thinkingly as her bat- tle comrades? Travel Hard Road of Duty. “There are moments in the lives of peoples when consideration for the individual is a crime against the whole, moments that make severity, ves, hardness a duty for those en- trusted with the safety of their own countrymen. Once and for always the activity of our enemies had to be stopped, and sentence has been car- ried out to frighten those who might presume on their sex to partake in en- terprises punishable with death. Should one recognize these presump- tions it would mean to open the door for the evil activities of women, who often are more clever in these things than the craftiest spy. He who bears the responsibility, however, may not, cannot do that. TUnmindful of the world’s verdict, he must travel the hard road of duty. That, despite these facts, leniency towards others who were convicted and who, ac- cording to recognized law, have for- feited their lives; is being considered, s proof of how earnestly we are try- ing to reconcile the feelings of hu- manity with the commands of rigid duty. “If others are shown mercy it wiil be at the cost of our army, for it is to be feared that new attempts wili be made to injure us if it is belleved possible to escape without punishment or with the risk of only light sen- tence. Only pity for the guilty can lead to an amelioration, not admission that the executed sentence was too severe, for this was, hard as it may sound, absolutely just and could not be otherwise to an independent Judge. False Reports of Execution. “The weakness of our enemies’ ar- guments is proved by the fact that they do not attempt to combat the justification of the sentence, but try to influence public opinion agains us by false reports of the execution. It is claimed that the soldiers assigned ‘to the execution first refused to shoot and finally fired so faultly that the officers had to kill the accused with a revolver. No word of this is true. I have the official report of the execu- tion, in which it is established that it took place entirely in accordance with established regulations and that death occurred immediately after the first salvo, as ‘the physician present at- tests.” German Case Restated. Amsterdam, Oct. 25, via London.— The following inspired telegram re- ceived from Berlin by way of Brus- sels dealing with the execution of Miss Cavell was published here today. “As the foreign press is discussing in an Incorrect and exaggerated man- ner the execution of the English wo- man, Edith Cavell, for war treason, the circumstances in the case accord- ing to the facts may again be stated. “It was proved after a long trial of the sentenced persons that they for some months past had been engaged in assisting Belgians of military age to enlist in hostile armies, and in en- abling French and English deserters to escape the country. They had many helpers and had organized branches. Repeatedly Issued Warnings, “The governor-general had repeat- edly issued warrings against such ac- tivity, pointing out that severe punish- ment for such action was unavoidable. The guilty persons were sentenced in a public sitting according to the law based on the provisions of the impe- rial penal code and the military penal code for war treason and espionage No special law exists for Belgium, and no so-called ‘usage of war' influenced | the verdict of the court. “The accussed for the most partad- mitted their guilt and acknowledged that they were aware of the severe penalties they were risking. Miss Cavell was the principal agent in the plot to enlist Belgians for the allies. With regard to the assertion that she in the course of her profes- sion unselfishly tended other persons it may be pcinted out that she earned a living by nursing, charging fees within the means of rich people only. German Women Executed. “Women also have been executed in France, as was instanced in March last when the German woman, Margarete Schmidt, was executed at Nancy, and in May at Bourges when the German, Opulite Moss was put to death. “The English government may re- member the cruelties committed by Lord Kitchener during the Boer war on women and children. “Our present enemies do not need Dollar Day Offerings!

Most of his associates, who are to- day at the heads of Southern univer- ties, and state and national systems of education, believe that his notahle work should receive some permanent. memorial, and it is planned to make the building at Hampton Institute a testimonial of appreciation from his friends in the North and South, both blacks and white, Some of the prominent names iden- tifled with the committee are Oswald | Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post; Albert Shaw of the Review of Reviews; Talcott Wil- liams of the Columbia School of Jour- nalism; John M.

There was no damage at the house except to the table on which the lamp was standing. GERMAN-AMERICANS WILL OPPOSE WILSON ‘Worcester Convention Launches Movement Against the Re-el€ction of the President in 1916. Worcester, Mass., Oct. 26.—A con- vention described as representing 40 organizations of German-Americans, with a membership of 20,000 in this state, yesterday adopted “firmly opposing the re-election ent Wilson.” The meoting was called by John Albrecht Walz, professor of German literature at Harvard university and state chairman of the National Ger- man Alliance. The purpose was said to be largely to induce Americans of German descent to take a more ac- tive interest in political affairs, and no permanent organization was at- tempted. An announcement has been made previously that the gathering | would probably endorse one of the | candidates for governor at the state electionn ext month, but it was de- cided not to take such a step. The resolution which was adopted after considerable debate was as fol- lows: “Resolved: That we American citi- zens assembled at Worcester do not desire as an organization to endorse any candidates for governor, but we believe in the desirability of unitedly discussing the question of the guber- natorial candidates. We are, however, firmly opposed to the re-election of Woodrow Wilson as president of the United States.” Owing to absence from town, Rev. G. W. C., Hill will postpone his calls on Stanley street from Tuesday to a resolution | of | Wednesday afternoon. «MY CHILDREN ARE IN LOVE with your AUNT D Bread; a slice of that and some cake.” butter and you think they are SPECIAL FOR TUESDAY PARKERHOUSE ROLLS, per doz, Our $ Da SPECIALS ALL COOKIES regularly selling at 10c per dozen, will sell at DATE CAKES, regular 12 and 16c sizes at 10c and 13¢c each, We will also have a full line of cream goods, sweet, delich and strictly fresh—made every day.
