MISS CAVELL'S MURDER.

INSPIRED CERMAN TELEGRAM. ANEW ALLEGATION. United Prebb Association. (Received 1.2 S p.m.) Amsterdam, October 24. An inspired German telegram gives a new allegation of the Cavell case in view of the incorrect and exaggerated foreign comments. The telegram states that after a long trial it was found that-. Miss Cavell anil others had for, months been engaged in assisting tllOi Belgians to enlist in hostile armies, and in asisting Anglo-French deserters to escape from Belgium. The Go-vernor-General had repeatedly warned the people that severe punishment the inevitable sentence Would be pronounced. At a public sitting in accordance with the law, the accused admitted her guilt. Miss Cavell was the principal agent in a plot for enlisting Belgians, j Regarding the assertion that .she had unselfishly attended the wounded, the fact was that nursing fees were such that her services were within the reach of the wealthy only. A German woman had already been executed in France, and the British may remember Kitchener's cruelties to the women and children in the Boer War.

MISCELLANEOUS. London, October 22. The Evening News states that Miss Cavell's murder is the foulest blot of all the war. What will stagger the world is the utter inability of the German mind to grasp the effect of a deed so infamous. The world shud-. ders at that picture of an insensible woman lying on the ground while her murderer took careful aim. Washington, Octoer 23. Government officials are shocked at the Cavell case and refer to the affair as most cowardly and unwarranted. The State Department has pointed out that the matter is purely one between Britain and Germany, and the United States is unable to do anything. Gratification is expressed that Mr Whitlock was able to serve British intei/ests, but there is sorrow that he failed to, achieve the end sought for. t Fear is expressed that Mr Whitloek has Compromised himself with the Germans in Belgium, and no sin-prise will be expressed if he is recalled,,at the Kaiser's demand. , denounces. Germartj crime as one of unparalleled baseness.
