This plan, he pointed out, could not become effec- | ve, however, without a modification of the Volstead act. “Light wines and beer under strict governmental control would be preferable to what we have now,” Crabbe said. “There is neither re- tpect nor true enforcement of the present law. It the law as enacted i1d been properly respected and en- ed I would not have advocated hange, but I am willing to con- «<cde that this is not true and con- trquently am in favor of modif hion. Need Respect for Law “We need a statuts that will more Yearly meet the wishes and com- amand the respect of the great ma- jority of the people. The present pro- bibition law has not prevented she vse of intoxicating liquor but on the contrary has brought about a condi- »n where there are a greater per- «ontage of our people drinking now an ever before. The drinkers are a crent element too than in form- ©r years. I believe that a majority of the yiople of Ohio would still favor a isonable law regulating the use of oxicants but they are not in ac- cord with the present rigid meas- ure.” Crabbe said the recent election ~was indieative that “ithe pendulum Tias swung back.” He asserted that Ji» wes opposed to a return of the aloon.

Marquis De Villalot ssador to Belgium, and Hugh S. son, then first secretary to the American legation, tried to prevent 1he execution of Nurse Edith Cavell Ly the Germans is told in extracts yublished from the diary of Marquis ‘e Villalobar. The marfuis relates that at Gib- on's request the two of them went (o Baron Von Der Lancken, then di- yector of political affairs in the oc- s upied Belgian territory, and tried to get Miss Cavell reprieved on the ©ve of her execution. The marquis told Baron Lancken that “Miss Cavell may have sent undreds of men to the front by aneans of her ambulance, but if you il her she will send millions sgainst you from her tomb.” The former emperor is pictured v the marquis as having become very angry when he learned of the execution. He is said to have yeprimanded those who permitted it 1o occur and to have ordered that in the future no women were to be executed. Miss Cavell, head of an English nurses' training school in Brussels, was executed by the Germans Oct. 31, 1915, on the charge of assisting British, French and Belgian pris- oners in the occupied territory to es- cape. The marquis, in his diary, says he was dining with Baron Lambert Rothschild when Gibson arrived in | zreat distress and asked to speak to him on a matter of the most urgent importance. He then told him of several cases of espionage pending Dbefore the German military tribunal in which two French, one Belgian woman and Miss Cavell were involv- ed. He said Miss' Cavell had been con- demned to death and was to be ex- ecuted at dawn of the next day. He asked the marquis to take the place of Brand Whitlock, the American niinister who was ill in bed with a high fever, and make every repre- sentation possible with the German | authorities to stay the execution.
