Included were a number of British and French soldiers stranded in Belgium, when they, were cut off from their units in the 1914 retreat. Suspicion fastened on the Englishwoman when Allied soldiers were successfully spirited out ot the country into Holland. On August 5, 1915, she was arrested and placed in solitary continement in St. Gilles prison. Iine weeks later Miss Cavell was one of 36 prisoners arraigned be fore a military tribunal. The proceedings were conducted In German though a French Interpreter was provided. The English nurse was defended by SadI Klrschen of the Brussels bar. His defence was hindered by the fact that he had not been able to see Miss Cavell before the trial and was not allowed to Inspect documents. The prosecution appears to have had no evidence that she had sue-1 ceeded in enabling military refugees to reach Britain, but her admission at the trial that she had received letters of thanks from repatriated men was made much of. The Interval between the imposition of the death sentence, Oc- tober 11, and her execution the following morning found United States Minister Brand Whltlock and !the Spanish minister active in Miss J lCavell's behalf. They pleaded vig- orously for her life before" German ; officials. I Baron von Lacken, civil governor, of Belgium, and General von Sau-J berzweig, military governor of Brus- j sels, proved adamant. It was Gen eral von Sauberzwelg who gave the order that Min the Interests of the, state" the execution of the death penalty should be carried out 1m-. mediately. Visited by Clergyman The United 'States minister suc ceeded In obtaining permission for Rev. H. S. T. Gahan, chaplain of Christ Churoh, Brussels, to visit Miss Cavell before the end. It was in a talk with her after he had. given her Holy Communion that the brave woman made the remark, "patriotism is not enough" words that rang around the world. ,She faced the firing squad vith the same dignity and fortitude that marked her deportment-throuhout the long, imprisonment and trlal 'Reared in the quiet atmosphere of a Norfolk vicarage, there was nothing In her early life to portend the event that only Intensified preV ylqus reports of .

Dur ing the past ten years 390 persons with syphilis-riddled brains had pntprprt fh Prnvlnri'il 1Lfo1 !! fpltal at Essondale. Each year the Provincial Division of Laboratories performed over 100,000 tests for syphilis and gonorrhea. Teh percent of deaths from heart fallute were attributable to venereal disease. The disease also resulted In numerous miscarriages, still births and imbecllic births. British Columbia Program The Scandinavian countries, the League of Nations health depart ment and other health experts had (demonstrated how the appalling public health situation outlined might be readily and satisfactorily dealt with. A four-point progrpm, based on public education and en-lightment, was being launched ! which would reach every commun- in British Columbia. Iity First. Dr. Williams said, the prevention of innocent infection of young married women with syphilis could be accomplished by pre-marital blood tests for both parties. Much syphilis acquired by young men had such mild early signs that its presence was never suspected. Its presence could only be detected by a blood test. Adequate treatment by the family physician would permit marriage with safety at a later date. Congenital syphilis, the most tragic of all forms of the disease, could be eliminated almost completely, continued the speaker, if every expectant mother would visit her physician before the Ilfth month and request a blood test. Regular weekly treatment until the baby was born would guarantee the child almost a 95 per cent chance of being healthy and non-syphllltlc. Suppression of quackery was a move to prevent the exploitation of diseased, fear-ridden citizens by unqualified persons whose1 remedies drove the disease deeper In and the only benefit of which was the monetary one accruing to the quack. Another line of campaign was the suppression, as provided for In the Criminal Code of Canada and approved by health authorities, of commercialized prostitution. This unsavory commerce which by fraud- ulent and deceitful means clothes Its highly diseased state with a superficial veneer of apparent good health, was the principal cause of the high Incidence of venereal disease In the male occupational groups Including loggers, miners and fishermen. , .Soundness Proven ! The- institution- of the' Provincial Board of Health program in many communities was already, proving Its soundness. There had : been great results In Vancouver, and Na-nalmo. Venerfal disease was being strikingly reduced by public education and co-operation. Dr. Williams was thanked for his address by the president of the club; O. A. Hunter. Guests were Ted Hardcastle, Dr. Neal M. Cartel-William Garrlck and Dr. C. II. Hankln-,son. The attendance of Gyro members was large. W. M. Watts read to the club a leiier he had received from one ot the members, Lieut. Orme Stuart, now on convoy service with the Royal Navy on the Atlantic.
