Not Killed As Spy

Defender Of Edith Cavell Declares
Germans Made No Charge Of
Spying
Maitro de Leval, who defended
Nurse Cavell, recently related at the
Author’s Club, in London, the story
of her trial, sentence, and death, He
said he had heard some people, even
in England, y that she was rightly
killed because she was a spy. She
was not, Even the Germans never
sald that she was. In all the state-
j nents made in the indictment
} Against here there was in each case
only one charge, “Procuring soldiers
| to the enemy.” All that she wanted
to do was to save soldiers from
death, and she" declared before the
Court; “I acknowledge that through
my intervention 200 men have been
led up to the frontier.’ Nurse Cavell
died on October 12, not as some peo-
ple had said, by collapsing at the
execution post and being shot by 4
German officer. She died courageous:

ly, as heroically as a soldier. ©

One of the most beautiful peaks in
the Canadian Rockies, a mountain
robed in snow and ice, is named in
honor of Nurse Cavell. Mount Edith
Cavell, which stands in Jasper Na
tional Park, is more than 11,000 feet
in height. Every summer, the guests
at Jasper Park Lodge go up to the

New York Man Accompanied By
Son Make Long Trek

W. A. North of the Explorer's
Club, New York, and his fourteen-
year-old son, Robert Carver, reach-
ed Winnipeg recently from The Pas
after a trek across hundreds of miles
of uninhabited hinterland territory.
Accompanied by Indian guides and
mushers with their dog teams, they
have been in the North for several
months. They left Hudson, Ont.,
Christmas Day and came out again
at York Factory March 1, the first
known persons to make the 800-mile
trip. From there they traversed the
Nelson River to Hudson Bay, com-
ing out to the railway at Amery,
north of The Pas.

Many tribes of Indians were vis-

Who can really think and not

When we despair and discolor things,
it is our senses in revolt, and they
have made the sovereign brain their

Will Drive Last Spike
Rt. Hon. Senator Geo. P. Graham To
Officlate At Important Event

‘The last spike on the Hudson Bay
Railway will be driven this summer
with due ceremony by Rt. Hon. Sen-
ator George P, Graham, who turned
the first sod on the railway in 1910.
This interesting event will not mark
the completion of the railway, but
only that the 510 miles of steel are
linked up from The Pas to Churchill,
the tidal terminus of the road. After
the last spike has been driven most
of the trackage will have to be bal-
lasted and made ready for operation.
It is expected the railway will be
completed in 1930. It is being built
by the Canadian Government to pro-
vide a much shorter route from the
farms of Western Canada td Europe.
