Newspaper Page Text8 The Truth About Belgium •— — BY BRAND WHITLOCK ' (Continued from List Is cue) Mr. Gahan's Work Our rector. Mr. Gahan, whose .services and sacrifices during all those sad and brutal times were consoling to so many, was the last representative of her own people to see Miss Cave!). He had gone front the legation to the prison of St. Gilles, and his wife was among the waiting women on that night at the legation. Mr. Gahan was with Miss Cavell all that evening, and when they would not let him be with her at "the very last, it is the one ameliorating circumstance of that monstrous tragedy that the German chaplain was kind. When Mr. Gahan arrived at the prison on that night Miss Cavell was lying on the narrow cot in her cell: she arose, drew on a dressing gown. folded it about her thin form, and received him calmly. She had never expected such an end to the trial but she was brave and was not afraid to die.

She had written letters to her mother in England and to c irtain of her friends, and entrusted them to the German authorities. She did not complain of her trial: she had avowed all. she said*-and it is one of tne suddest, bitterest ironies of the whole tragedy that she seems not to have known that all she hid avowed was not suffi cient. even under German law, to justify the judgment passed upon her. The German cnaptain had been kind and she was willing for him to be with her at the last, if Mr. Gahan could not be. Life had not . been all happy for her. she said, and she was glad to die for her country. Life had been hurried, and she was grat ifui for those weeks of rest in prison. "Patriotism is not enough,’* she Baid. “I must have no hatred and no bitterness toward any one.” She received the sacrament, she* had no hatred for any one, and she had no regrets. Those as far as we know, were her last words. She had been told that she would be called at & o’clock. At six they came and the black van conveyed her and the architect Baucq to the Tir National, where , they were shot. Miss Cavell was brave and calm at the last, and she died facing the firing squad, an other martyr in the old cause of human liberty. Mr. Gahan later gave out this re port of his last hours with her: "On Monday evening. October.il, I was admitted by special pass port from the German authorities to the prison of St. Gilles, where Miss Edith Cavell had been con fined for ten weeks. The final sen tence had been given early that afternoon. "To my astonishment and relief I found my friend perfectly* calm and resigned. But this could not lessen the tenderness and intensity of feeling on either part during that last interview of almost an hour. "Her first words to me were upon a matter concerning herself per sonally. but the solemn assevera tion which accompanied them was made expressedly in the light of God and eternity. She then added that she .wished all her friends to know that she willingly gave her life for her country, and said: 1 have no fear nor shrinking: J have seen death so" often that it .is not strange or fearful to me.’ She further said: ‘I thank <»od for this ten weeks' quiet before the end. Life has always been hurried and full of difficulty. This time of rest h-»s been a great mercy. They have all been very kind to me here. But this I would say, standing as I do in view of God and eternity. I real ize that patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone.’ . „ "We partook of the Holy Commu nion together, and she received the Gospel message of consolation with all her heart. At the close of the little service I began to repeat the words, 'Abide with me,* and she joir**d softly in the end. "We sat quietly talking until it was time for me to She gave me parting messages for relations and friends. She spoke of her soul's needs at the moment and she received the assurance of God s WoM as onlv the Christian can do. "Then I said ‘Good-bye. and she < smiled and said: ‘We shall, meet ag "The German militan' chaplain was with her at the end and after wards gave her Christian burial. “He told me; ‘She was brave and bright to the last.

In the touching report there is a statement, one of the last tl *®t Edith Cavell ever made, which in Its exquisite pathos illuminates the whole of that lite of ste?n duty, ot human service and martyrdom. She said that she was gratetul for the six weeks of rest she had just be fore the end. During those weeks she had read and reflected; her com panions and her solace were her Bible, her prayer book and the im itation of Christ The notes she made in these books reveal her thoughts in that time, and will touch the uttermost depths of any nature nourished in that beautiful i faith which is at once so tender and so astute. The prayer book with those laconic entries on its ny ' leaf in which she set down the sad and eloquent chronology of her fate, the copy of the Imitation which she had read and marked during those weeks in prison, weeks which as she so pathetically said had Kly e P tier rest and quiet and time to thing I in a life that had been “so hurried,’ and the passages noted in her lirm f band, have a deep and appealing 1 pathos. _, . i Quotations in Her Prayer Book I P. 124. —It is no small prudence • to keep silence in an evil time. ; Chapter XXIX. —p. 125 and Chap • ter XXX, p. 126. i.

Just before the end, too, as I have sa*d, she wrote a number of let ters. She forgot no one; among tne letters that sne left was one ad dressed to the nurses of her school, and there was a message tor a girl who was trying to break herselt of the morphine habit; Miss Cavell had been trying to help her and she sent word to be brave, and that if God would permit she would con tinue to try to help her. It was on the luth of October, 1915. already condemned to death, that Miss Cavell wrote the letter of farewell to her nurses. The let ter was in French, for all the nurses were Belgiam girle, and in it, after expressing the sorrow she felt in bidding adieu to her pu pils. she wrote of the joy she had in being called on the 17th of Sep tember. 1907. to organize at Brus sels the first school of graduate nurses in Belgium. At that time nursing had not been made a sci ence in Belgium, as it had been in England and in America; the grad uate nurse was unknown. Dr. De page, one of the leading physicians in Belgium, one of the leading phy sicians, indeed, in the world, had been anxious that such a school be founded, and it was through his inspiration and that of his wife that the school was made poss.ble. They succeeded in interesting a number of . influential men and women in Brussels, Antwerp, Bruges, Liege and Mons in the proj ect. a society was fumed and Ma dame Ernest Solvay gave to the school the sum of 300,060 francs with which was built the model that stands now in the Rue de Bruxelles in Uccle. The building had fifty rooms for nurses and thit • ty rooms for patients, study halls, theaters for operations and repre sented the Ideas of Dr. Depage, of Madame Depage and of Miss Cavell. The building was completed in .the month of May, 1915, the very \nonth that Madame Depage went down on the Lusitania, and five months before Miss Cavell was kill ed, and by the operation of the old ironic rule of life neither of the two women most concerned in it and most responsible for it ever saw the school they had founded and established In it. Miss Cavell, in organizing and establishing the school, encountered very real diffi culties In those first years, for. as she says in her letter, "tout etait nouveau dans cette profession pour la Belgique.” She was evidently a woman of parent force of will and of nervous energy; she had a high intelligence and a profound char acter, and she succeeded; she es tablished the school, she establish ed nursing in Belgium, and her name and that cf Madame Depagc, both victims of German frightful ness, will ever be associated with the school at Brussels. The letter which sounds the pro found depths of the Anglo-Saxon character with Its stern command of emotion and feeling, though all the while deep down there is an affec tion that somehow to express itself, somehow sums up the char acter that made a noble and de voted life. When one thinks that there In her cell behind the grim walls of the prison of St. Gilles this frail woman sat down and in a firm hand, and in a foreign lan guage. almost without a fault, wrote such a letter as this, one under stands something of her nature. She gives a glimpse of the difficul ties she had to overcoma to found her school in a peculiarly conserva tive milieu where all was new and strange. She remembers some of the ob scure but tragic conflicts that were going on in the souls of those whom she was directing. She had been a strong disciplinarian, a self-contain ed nature which, she had completely mastered, sternest always with her self, and in asking those girls, who may not always have understood her, to forgive what they may have considered her severity, she ends with the touching, confession that she loved them more than they knew. f Batter to Her Nurses Prison of St. Gilles. ‘‘Mj’ Dear Nurses; It is a very sad moment for me when I write to make my adieus to you. It calls to my mind the fact that the 17th of September was the end of eight years of my direction of the school. I was so happy to be called to aid in the organization of the work that our committee had just founded. The October of the year 1907 there were only four young students; now we are already nu merous, between fifty and sixty in all, I believe, counting those who have received their diplomas and have already left the school. ‘‘l have told you on various oc casions of those first days and ot the difficulties that we encountered, even in the choice of words for your hours ‘on duty’ and ‘oft duty,’ etc.; all was new in the profession in Belgium. “Bit by bit one service after an other was established —graduate nurses to nurse in private houses — student nurses —the St. Gilles Hos pital. We helped in the Institute of Dr. Depage, the sanitarium of Byssingham the clin ic of Dr. Mayer, and now many are called (as perhaps you will be later) to nurse the brave men wounded in the war “If in this last year our work has diminished the cause is found in the sad time in which we live. In better days our work will re sume Its growth and all its power to do good If I speak of the past it is because it is well sometimes to stop and look over the road that we have traversed and to take ac count of our mistakes and of our progress. _ _ . ... “In your beautiful house you will have more patients and you will' have all that is necessary for their comfort and your own. "To my regret I have not been able always to speak very mucn with you personally; you know that I have had a good many occupa tions. but I hope that you will not forget our evening chats. I told you that devotion would give yon real happiness—and the thought that before God and yourselves you have done your entire duty with a good heart will be your greatest comforts in the hard moments of life and in the face of death. "There are two or three of you who will recall the little interviews that we have had together; do not forget them. Being already so far along in life I have been able per haps more clearly than you to show you the straight path. One word more. Beware of gossip! And may I say to vou—loving your country with'all my heart—that that is the great fault here. I have seen so much evil during these eight years that could have been avoided or lessened if there had not been a lit tle word whispered hete and there, perhaps not with bad intention — but it ruined the reputation and happiness, even the life of some one. My nurses should think of that and cultivate among them selves loyalty and esprit de corps. “If there is one among you whom I have wronged I beg you to for give me; I have been perhaps too severe sometimes but never volun tarily unjust, and I have loved you all much more than you thought. “My best wiches ofr the happiness of all my girls, those who have left the school as well as those who are there still, and thank you for the kindness that you have always shewn me.

Again and again I asked for them, beg ging to be allowed to send them to England to comfort the aged and •sorrowing mother, but they refused to give th?m over. They said that if 1 were to send them to England they would be published abroad and another sensation created that would react later against the Ger man cause.

The re cent sensational advance of about 314 c per pound seemd to have left futures in a weaker technical position and there was a disposition to take profits on long contracts or to sell for a reaction. The opening was steady at an ad vance of 4 to 27 points, but prices soon eased off, with December declining from 30.40 c to k*J.7oe and January from T.t.lOe to 28.45 c be fore tlie end of the first hour, or about 10 to 35 points net lower. It was reported that a prominent southern authority estimated the crop at 11,580,000 bales, excluding linters, but the figures failed to create any fresh sentiment and the reaction was attributed chiefly to real izing, or an expectation ot increased spot offer ings on any further advance. The early lireak extended to 28.80e for De cember and 27.90 c for January, or 100 to 130 points below last night's closing figures, owing to continued Liverpool and southern and Wall street selling. The market was then steadied by covering, and fololwing rumors that the armistice had been signed by Germany, became extremely active and excited. Prices went np by jumps, with December soon selling at 30c and January at 29.20 c, or 120 to 130 points above the low level of the morning, and about not unchanged to 20 points higher. The volume of business then tapered off, witli the market waiting for an official statement regarding the armistice. Theree wns much excitement on the floor dur ing the early afternoon, but business remained comparatively quiet with traders more inclined to wait for official confirmation of the re ported signing of the armistice than to go further in discounting any view of its effect on prices. Fluctuations were nervous and ir regular and trading came to practically a stand still shortly after 2 o’clock with prices around 29.53 for December nnd 28.95 for January, or about 25 to 27 points net lower.

Support was met and by the end of the first half hour cf trading prices were 20 to 29 points above yesterday’s finals. What the floor termed a bear raid developed around the middle of the morning and carried prices 80 to 116 points tinder yesterday’s close. Around the lowest levels the report was re ceived that, the armistice with Germany had been signed, and a sudden adn strong rise car ried the active months 140 to 155 points up ward to a level 30 to 60 points over yesterday's last quotations. The uncertainty over the matter of the sign ing of the armistice with Germany caused a reaction from the advance. At 1 o'clock prices were at a net decline of 30 to 33 points.
