present at the enectitinn. wan overcome
by horror and la now suffering from a
nervous breakdown."
The Trtrrtrnnf'a correspondent add
thm ha hai hn h.aluiin.. i
that the execution roused consternation
nmnn the people of Holland and will
'"probably do more to damage iterman
sympathies, wherever they exist In Hol
land than any hapfienlnaa Of the war."
He xntlnues :
"The pinnacle of honor arnorded to
Womankind In Holland approaches more
nearly tha accorded tn woman In ure.it
Britain and In America than anywhere
clue.
"You tnwv violate neutrality, batter
home and churches and tear up agree
ment, and Holland may shrug her shoul
der and say : 'Well, perhaps It ll war,
but butcher a woman In cold blood, and
Holland will say, as tbe people are eay
lnff to-.tay ;
"This Is savaaery!'"
The writer quotes some horrified com
ments from the Netherlands newspaper
Which, he nays, show the temerity to
which the Incident has nrouscd the
Tutoh editors, otic of whom Is await . ng
trial for describing the Hermans as
conscienceless rascals."
The .Vfrmt-rs VimrtVn Tug, which
hitherto has heen observing a rather
colorless neutrality, voices a vehement
condemnation. declaring that the Ger
mans lack the most elementary con
ception of tho psychology of other
peoples and of the effect of such acta
upon the minds of nnn -Hermans.
The Trlcaron, commenting on nu
merous recent Instances of Herman at
tempts to terrorlie the Belgians, says:
"Under the fatherly government of
Von Hissing the Belgians have cause
to envy the Parisians of 17911 during
the reign of terror. Not a persoi is
aure of his life, certainly not an honest
and brave person, for the Herman reign
of terror seeks hy frightful examples
to make the whole of Helglum a nation
of traitors and cowards.
"Love of country, which the Hermans
themselves claim to be the highest vir
tue, they punish In the enemy as the
moat frightful crime. During the last
fortnight ten death sentences and thirty
two sentences to penal servitude for
from ten to fifteen years were passed
Among those sentenced to death were
four women."

Lonpon, Oct. 22. The first Herman
version of the trial of Mi.s Cavell. shot
j to death by a Herman firing eqtwid be-
cause she helped Belgian prisoner eol
dlers to escape, was received here to
' night by way of AmsterdHtn. It was
contributed by Hen W crthciiner, the
Brussels correspondent of the urnl-ofT)
ial WnifT Bureau to the Herinan press
ThU version asserts that the evidence
In Mise Cavell's trial showed that there
was an "tganlied plan to etiab'o
men of military age to leave Belgium,
the leuders being a Helgian and eoine
French arietiM-rals The plot was pro
moteil by thirty-five prisoners, tvo
t birds of whom were wooien, Including
the Princess Maria de Croix, the Count.
In bthalf of the Allies was tried, con
fessed of her own accord and w-as duly
executed. It has been a long recognized
rule of warfare that when caught the
spy or war traitor must be exe
cuted This was the case with M.ss
Cavell. Brand Whltlocn knows this as
well us anybody else Hut he in the
incident an opportunity to spring Into
the limelight and to aid the Allies. Ho
he forthw.th wrote a lachrymose ami
maudlin account of the affair to the
Ep reign Office in London. The Her

been the victims of Krgllsh nurses.
'The whole matter shows to what ex

less spies of both sexes are executed In
