Amsterdam, Oct. 26, via London.-- The following inspired telegram re­ ceived from Berlin by way of Brus­ sels, dealing with the execution of Miss Cavell, was published here on Sunday: "As the foreign press la discussing in an Incorrect and exaggerated man­ ner the execution of the English wom­ an, Edith Cavell, for treason, the cir­ cumstances in the case, according to the facts, may again be stated. "It was proved after a long trial of the sentenced persons that they for some months past had been engaged in assisting Belgians of military age to enlist in hostile armies and in en­ abling French and English deserters to escape the country. They had many helpers and had organized branches. "The governor general had repeat­ edly issued warnings against such ac­ tivity, pointing out that severe punish­ ment for such action was unavoidable. "The guilty persons were sentenced In a public sitting, according to the law based on the provisions of the im­ perial penal code and the military penal code for war treason and es­ pionage. "No Bpecial law exists for Belgium and no so-called 'usage of war' influ­ enced the verdict of the court. "The accused, for the most part, ad­ mitted their guilt, and acknowledged they were aware of the severe penal­ ties they were risking. "Misa Cavell was the principal agent in the plot to enlist Belgians for the allies. With regard to the assertion that she in the course of her profes­ sion unselfishly tended other persons, it may be pointed out that she earned a living by nursing, charging fees within the means of rich people only. "Women also have been executed In Prance, as was instanced in March last, when the German woman, Mar- garete Schmidt, was executed at Nan­ cy, and in May at Bourges, when the German, Optilie Moss, was put to death.
