GERMAN DEFENDS DEED
UNDER SECRETARY TELLS OF
THE EXECUTION OF MIES
CAVILU A NURSE.
Hard That Woman Should So Put to
Death But No Other Course Seem
ed Poeelble.
Berlin, via The Hague and Germany.
?Dr. A. F. Zimmerman, German un
der secretary for foreign affairs, has
Issued an ofllcfol explanation of the
recent execution tn Belgium of lflas
Edith Caven, the British nurse. He
phrased hie remarks by the declara
tion that be had examined every de
tail of the evidence with the greatest
oare and found the verdict "though
re g re table, to be lust." His state
ment In pert follows:
"I see 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 caused us to be severe
ly criticised. It le Indeed hard that
a woman must be executed, but' what
shall e state which la et war come
to. If H allows to pass unnoticed e
crime against the safety of Its armies
because committed by women? No
lew book in the world, least of ell
those dealing with war regulatVoffs,
makes such e differentiation, and the
female sex has only one preference
according to legal usages, namely,
that women In e delicate oonditfoa
may not be executed.
"In the Cavell case I have reviewed
the decision of the court end examin
ed evidence to the smallest detail.
"The reason la so convincing and
all the circumstances are so clear
and convincing that no oourtmartlal
in the world oould have rendered any
other decision. For It concerns not
the act of one single ? person, rather
it concerns a well thought out, world
wide conspiracy which suoceded nine
months to render the. most valuable
aid to the enemy, to the disadvantage
of our army. Countless British, Bel
glen end Fre-mh soldiers now again
are fighting In the allied ranks who
owe their escape from Belgium to
the activity of the bend now sentenc
ed, at the head of which stood Miss
Cavell.
"With such e situation, under the
very eyes of the enemy, only the ut
most severity can bring relief, end the
government violates the most elemen
tal duty toward the army ud its safe
ty If It does not adopt Jhe strictest
measures. These duties in war are
greater than any other."
