A Bering dispatch of the United Freu gives the following atory under : date of March 7, regarding the death , of Kdith ( aveil, British war nurse during the World War. The deatn before a German firing , squad of Kdith Cavell, British World War nurse, was described for the firs; time In all its dramatic detail today by the German doctor who witnessed her execution for helping war prisoners to escape. "A brave daughter ot a great nation," the army physician, Dr. Gottfried Benn, called Miss Cavell in telling the story in the newspaper AchtL'hr-Aberulblatt. He told how she walked unflinchingly to the execution place, said she was glad to die for Kngland, and received twelve bullets in heart and lungs. Dr. Benn broke a ten-year silence to help clear up the controversy that followed the banning by the British government of a motion picture film purporting to describe Miss Cavell's execution. The view was ta^en that the portrayal would revive bad feeling between Britons and Germans. - t>r. Benn was medical officer at German headquarters in Brussels during the war. iHe attended, in an official capacity, both the trial and execution of the British nurse. After she had fallen before the bullets of the firing squad it was his duty to examine her body and certify her death. This is his story:?? "I received orders to go by motor car to an unknown destination known only to the chauffeur. At dawn we arrived at the shooting range at Brussels, where a company of infantry lined a path leading to the wall where two platoons of twelve men each?the firing parties?were waiting. "We waited for some time, and another car arrived in which was a Belgian engineer named Broque, who had been sentenced to die for complicity in the Cavell case. "Broque nonchalantly went to a place indicated to him and, standing between two white poles, doffed his cap to the firing squad drawn up before him. He bade them "Good morning" and then said:? "In the face of death we are comrades.' "The officer in charge of the firing party, fearing that the man was going to make a provocative speech, interrupted. Broque then stood silent and erect. "Another car in which were Nurse Cavell and a priest. She was dressed in a blue tailor-made costume, with a small hat. Her face was like a mask. Her gait was staggering owing to muscular impediment, but she nevertheless walked without hesitation toward the place between the two poles where the Belgian stood. "She stopped for a moment to tell the priest:? " 'I am glad to be dying for England. Other women are sacrificing more?husbands, brothers, sons. I have only my own life to..give.' "She asked the priest to send a last message from her to her mother and to her brothers, who were serving with the British army in Franceu* "The final scenes were over quickly. The firing squad presented arms and the military judge read the verdict of the court which had found the accused guilty. Both the Englishwoman ! and the Belgian were blindfolded and each was tied to a pole. "At a single word of command both platoons fired from a distance of a couple of yards. Broque's body sagged, but for a few moments the Englishwoman remained upright. Like the Belgian, however, she had been killed instantaneously, receiving twelve bullets, which had pierced her heart and lungs. "It is untrue that she received the coup de grace ( a finishing shot from an officer's pistol fired when there is doubt regarding death). "I immediately went to the pole to which her body was tied and felt her pulse. When I found that she was dead I closed her eyes. "I assisted in placing her in a small yellow coffin. She was immediately interred nt a place which had been kept secret. "I am not attempting to correct the legend which has grown up around Nurse Cavell. I want only to tell what I remember, and I remember her as an active woman who paid for her deeds as a brave daughter of ! a great nation." Speaking of Miss Cavell's trial, Dr. I Benn said he heard Mia* Cavell ad? mit that the organisation the had formed to helji "the enemy"?the , Allies?had smuggled 300 soldiers - and Belgian civilians across the Dutch frontier. Dr. Benn added that although she was betrayed by various accomplices . ? I At the trial. Nurse Cavell remained jreatrred and calm. CBI KBHATMS MBTBDAY #M|*IW> Venerable I *dy of Kerihav RmcBm Beveaty-Onr Mra J. C, Catoc, who reached her eventy first birthday on last Baturdu>, giveu a surprise dinner last Sunday by her children, st tike home of her son, J. T. Catoe. Mrs. Catoe is the mother of the Catoe Brothers, proprietor of the department store of that name on east Marion street, yiii has one daughter, Mrs. G. F. l"Sii?*, ail of tyhom have children of their own, who number in the aggregate of twenty-four, and Mrs. Faile ha- three grandchildren. Of the tMenty-four grundcbildreu, ten are the children of Mrs. Faile and her husband. All of this group of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of Mr*. Catoe were present, along with sons-in-law and daughtersin-law, other relatives and friends, numbering in the aggregate fiftyseven souls present and participating in the event. The namtf of all are appended, the relatives by families. The editor appreciates the fact that the privilege was accorded typt of being present. Judging from the standpoint of enlivened spirit, there was not sn old person present. The passing years had counted time on some, but had been kind In leaving no bowed forms, languid spirit and depressed interest in affairs of life. All were filled with a spirit of interest that befitted the occasion, Mrs. Catoe being by no means the least so, for she is well-preserved in bodily health and spirit for one of her years. Fifty-seven soul to be fed at one home. Think of it! W? did not invade the cooking department to see how it was all done, but the tables were loaded in large variety and abundant quantity to supply all and that many more. The table in the dining room stretched the full length across, leaving just enough room for seating at the ends, and it took three seatings to accommodate those who were present. In the middle of the table was the birthday cake, with Beventy-one burning tapers on it, which were extinguished by Mrs. Catoe when they had burned nearly out. It was a happy association of relatives and friends, age and youth, blended together and all entering fully into the spirit of the occasion. The conversation throughout was cheerful and the contact promoted a closer communion of spirits that in the humdrum of life live too far apart and know each other all too little, until some such occasion calls them together to get better acquainted and tinderstand each other better. That is the good to come out of it, and it is to be regretted that there is not a vast deal more of such friendly mingling among human kind. The following is a list of those present: Mrs. J. C. Catoe. Her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Catoe, and their children, Hoy, Ferris, Beulah, Mary K. and Doris. Son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. G. F.

How To Save. If you don't save, but would like to, think of your salary as being $5, |10 or $60 less each week, and put the balance to work in the bank. Try a small fixed amount first snd you'll like it so well youH try to beat your previous records. Waiting until they have a big initial deposit is the reason why so many have not .yet started to save, and fixing the weekly depoeits too high is why many who do start don't continue. The more a man becomes financially independent, the more he is able to further . his complete independence?(William Feather in Industrial Magazine.
