MAKE rri,o ronnrt of the CirCUlU- X U v a. r v stances of the condemnation and exe cution of Miss Edith Cavell, an Eng lish -woman and head of a .training school in Brussels, for helping Eng lish, French and Belgian soldiers; to escape from Belgium, made by Wand Whitlocfc, the American ffilh ister at Brussels, to Walter H. Page, the American ambassador at London, has been issued by the British gov ernment. How the secretary of the Ameri- - m can legation, Hugn s. liiDson, sought the German governor, von Der Lancken, late at night before the execution and, with the Spanish min ister, pleaded with the governor and the German officers for the English woman's life is graphically related in a memorandum from Mr. Gibson. This document refers to the German authorities' apparent lack of good faith in failing to keep their prom ises to inform the American minis ter fully of the trial and sentence. Minister Whitlock telegraphed to Ambassador Page on the twelfth "Miss Cavell sentenced yesterday and executed at 2 o'clock this morn ing, despite our best efforts contin ued until the last moment." Mr. Whitlock's final appeal was in the form of a note sent by a messen ger late on the night of the elev enth to Governor von Der Lancken, the translation of which reads as follows: f"My Dear Baron: I am too sick to present my request myself, but I appeal to your generosity of heart to support it and save from death this unhappy woman. Have pity on her. "Yours truly, "BRAND WHITLOCK." Mr. Whitlock also stated that Miss Cavell had nursed German soldiers. Mr. Deleval, counselor of the American legation, reported to Min ister Whitlock: "This morning Mr. Gahan, an English clergyman, told me that he had seen Miss Cavell in "her cell yes terday night at 10 o'clock and that he had given her holy communion and had found her admirably strong and calm. "I asked Mr. Gahan whether she naa maae any remarKs aoout any thing concerning the legal side of her case, and whether the confession which she made before trial and in court was in his opinion perfectly free and sincere. Mr. Gahan told me she was perfectly well and knew what she had done; that, according to the law, of course she was guilty and admitted her guilt, tut that she was happy to die for her country." Secretary Gibson's report says that Ccnrad, an official of the Ger man civil branch, gave positive as surances that the American lega tion would be fully informed of the developments in the case and con tinues: Despite these assurances, we made repeated inquiries in the course of the day, the last one beine at 6.20 P. M. Mr. Conrad then stated that sentence had not been pro nounced and specifically renewed his previous assurances that he would not fail to inform us as soon as there was any news. "At 8.30 it was learned from an outside source thnt sentence had been passed in the course of the af ternoon, before the last conversation with Mr. Conrad, and that execution would take' place during the niffht." Secretary Gibson thereupon sought the Spanish minister and, with Mr. Deleval, went to von Der Lancken's quarters. Finding the governor and his staff absent, they telephoned to them, and the governor with his staff returned shortly after 10 o'clock. Secretary Gibson's report to Minis ter Whitlock continues: "The circumstances of the case were explained to him and your note was presented. He read it aloud in our presence. He expressed disbe lief in the report that sentence had actually been passed and manifested some surprise that we should give credence to any report not emanat ing from official sources. He was quite insistent on knowing the ex act source of our information, but this I did, not feel at liberty to com municate to him. "Baron von Der Lancken stated that it was quite improbable that sentence had been pronounced, and even if so it would not be executed in so short a time, and that, in any event, it would be quite impossible to take any action before morning. "It was, of course, pointed out to him that even if the facts were as we believed them to be, action would be useless unless taken at once. We urged him to ascertain the facts im mediately This, after some hesitancy h6 agreed to do. He telephoned to the presiding judge of the court martial, and returned to U&y that the facta were as we had presented them and that it was intended to carry but the sentence before morning.

"I further called attention to the failure to compjywith Mr.. Conrad's promise to inform the legation of sentence. I urged, that, , i&agmucjbasi the offenses charged against Miss Cavell were long since accomplished, delay in carrying out the sentence could entail , no danger to the Ger man cause. I even went so far as to point out the fearful effect of a summary execution of this sort upon public opinion both here and abroad, and, although I had no authority for doing so, called attention to the pos sibility that it might bring about re prisals. "The Spanish minister forcibly sup ported all our representations and made an earnest plea for clemency. Baron von Der Lancken stated that the military governor was the su preme authority in matters of this sort, and that an appeal from his de cision would be carried only to the emperor, the governor general hav ing no authority to intervene in such cases. "After some discussion he agreed to call the military governor on the telephone and learn whether he had already ratified the sentence and whether there was any chance for clemency. He returned in about half an hour and stated that he had been to confer personally wtth the military governor, who said he -acted in the case of Miss Cavell only after mature deliberation; that the circumstances in her case were of such a character that he considered the -.nfliction of the death penalty imperative and that he must decline, to accept your plea for clemency or any representa tion in regard to the matter." A City Specializing in Agriculture. The city of Memphis, Tenn., is giv ing the country a type of civic co operation with a real driving force in its new farm development bureau, The scattered effort that has been di rected toward garnering new manu facturing plants and new industries is now to be concentrated in a com mon sense campaign to get the best possible results from the greatest resource of the country agricul ture. While Memphis has been seek ing new industries with doubtful economic results the rich lands of the surrounding territory were left to produce a fraction of their maxi mum under unintelligent cultivation ) and distribution. It is a typical story of the average American city. For the plans that have been out lined 2,000 business men have join ed the new bureau and $25,000 has been subscribed for the first year's expenses. An expert has been hired to superintend the work of organiz ing local farm development branches in 281 towns in the radius of the Memphis trading territory for 200 miles in all directions.. The organ ization will preach method and co ordination in production and mar keting. Two hundred of the leading business men have already pledged their personal services for two weeks of the year to be spent in the country districts. The school authorities, church organizations and women's clubs have been enlisted. The 4,000 traveling salesmen with headquarters in the district will also talk better organization and marketing through the central district. ; Dr. Dumba Denies Calling For War. i The arrival at The Hague of Dr. constantm Theodor Dumba, lately! ' recanea as Austrian ambassador to; the United States, is reported in a.' j dispatch from the correspondent of j Renter's Telegram Company. Dr. j Dumba was escorted by the Austrian - minister, who met him in Rotterdam. Dr. Dumba issued a brief statement , to the press, saying he intended to , make a short stay in Holland and would abstain from any political con- versations. j He called the statement attributed to him that "Austria-Hungary should declare war on the United States" an absurd invention. Long Known. "Father," said the minister's son, "my teacher says that 'collect ana 'congregate' means the thing. Do they?" same Perhaps they do, my son," said k the venerable clergyman; "but you may tell your teacher that there is a vast difference between a congrega tion and a collection."

URGENT CRY FOR HELP COMES FROM SERBIA. fLiiurgelvfc forp cmesroi tfie Serbn tfarinc, wnjcA,1y the situation krrowidg more gand rerip4s in - thejrftyjrt Mi allied troops is awaited anxiously. ;CT?ib Austman fores I&c.thf north are steadily pushing back the The Bulgarians from the east are Invading the country- at .four princi pal points. In the north they are advancing on the Negot:n front to meet the Teutons. In the center they are moving toward Nish, threatening to cut off the Serbian army, which is desperately opposing the Teutonic ad vance. Further south they have cut the railway at Veanja, between Nish and Salonica, driving a wedge be tween the main Serbian army and the : Anglo-French 'forces, which landed at Salonica. A fourth drive is being made down the valley of the Bregal nica, toward Istib, to meet the ad vance of the allies coming up the line of the Vardar. The desperate situation of the main Serbian army which is now facing the German army in the lower Morava valley is seen in the advance of a strong Bulgarian force by the Vidin Paracin Railway, which advance will place the Bulgarians directly in rear j of ., the Serbians, thus cutting off their retreat toward Nish. ! Below Nish the entire stretch of the Nish-Salonic Railway embraced ' Vranja and Dupljane is now in Bui- j garian possession. Nish is thus cut off from the allies moving up from the souh unless the Bulgarian force at Vranja can be defeated. The Bulgarian first army, consti tuting the main Bulgarian force, is at present advancing toward Nish, along the Pirot Railway. This last force threatens to attack Nish at a time when no assistance can be ren dered that place, either by xthe main Serbian army in the north or allied troops from the south.
