A despatch from London says: The Foreign Office has been notified by the Amecrican Embassy that Miss Edith Cavell, lately the head of a large treining school in Brussels, who was srrested Aug. 5 by the German authoritics in Brussols, was executed Germans Execute Woman Charged, Not Espionage, But With Harboring Ally Soj A despatch from Nish, Serbia, says: The official story of the bombardment of Belgrade shows that the Germans are pursuing the same plan of exterâ€" mination adopted in Belgium. Begun on the fifth, in the afternoon, the bomâ€" bardment continued until the eighth without ceasing. Tens of thousands of shells of all calibres were thrown methodically, with the object of makâ€" ing as many victims as possible and creating a panic. Before the bomâ€" bardment the enemy opened a barrier ENGLISH SCHOOL MISTRESs _ ____ _ PUT TO DEATH IN BRUsSEIS Section Where Civilians Refugees Were S] The point at which the Russians will strike has not yet been disclosed. The Italians, according to the latest reports, will not send a contingent to the Balkans, but coâ€"operation of their navy in the Aegean, where an allied fleet has already gathered, is looked for. 2 BELGRADE WAS A SHAMBLES _ _ WHEN BOMBARDMENT CEAsED On the other hand, it is pointed out, the capture of Strumnitsa is of real strategic value, as its occupation perâ€" mits the defence of the southern end of the railway and compels the Bulâ€" garians to keep a force there.

A despatch from London says: The reports that the allies have occupied Strumnitsa and landed at Enos, which was recently transferred from Turâ€" kish to Bulgarian rule, has caused a more optimistic ‘feeling throughout the allied .countries.

During the bombardment enemy aeroplanes flew over groups of refugees, signalling the range to the batteries. The southern part of the city, where the inhabitants had taken refuge, was bombarded all the night of the sixth. The number of victims was great. From a military standâ€" point the bombardment has had no effect on the plan of operations drawn up for the Serbian troops. According to palmists, short hands denote impulsive judgment without analysis, while long hands denote capacity for detail. _ Despatches to the evening newsâ€" ;papers here say that a second Gerâ€" \ man torpedo boat was sunk by the | British submarine Eâ€"19 near Faxe.

The submarine |rose to the surface and remained on | the scene some time before it disapâ€" | peared. A sharp lookâ€"out from the Danish coast is being kept, but no f survivors have been found. British submarines have now clearâ€" ed the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Bothnia entirely of German merchant ships. Every German ship which was southbound from Sweden when the submarines ; started their camâ€" paign has either been sunk or run ashore. Of 50 German ore carriers, 37 are virtually interned in Swedish ports. ; A message from Falsterbo, Sweden, | which brought news of this incident, iadds that other German â€"destroyers and a cruiser which were accompanyâ€" 'ing the destroyer that was sunk | speeded to the southward. The inforâ€" ! mation received here indicated that ‘all ‘the members of the destroyer‘s crew were lost. at the southern entrance to The Sound, a narrow strait between Denâ€" mark and Sweden which connects the Baltic with the North Sea. , A great explosion followed the striking of the torpedo, and the destroyer foundered immediately. * A despatch from Copenhagen says: Two German torpedoâ€"boat destroyers have been sunk in Baltic waters by a British submarine, according to reâ€" ports reaching Copenhagen. . Oné of the German warships was torpedoed Two Destroyers Sent to the Bottom of the Ocean by a British ENEMY VESSELS SUNK IN BALTHC The expectation is, however, that the allies have a surprise for the central powers, and that steps are being taken to bring Turkey to her knees before assistance can reach her. The withdrawal of so high a comâ€" mander as General Sir Ian Hamilton, who has had complete charge of the land operations at the Dardanelles, is the first event of its kind in the Briâ€" tish army since the war began. nouncing this change is as follows: "General Sir C. C. Monro has been appointed to command the Mediterâ€" ranean force in succession to Sir lan Hamilton, who is returning to Engâ€" land to report. Pending General Monro‘s arrival Gen. Birdwood comâ€" mands." Submarine.

The Overâ€" seas Club headquarters in London, England, are arranging to have the seeds planted round the graves and in the cemeteries where Canadian solâ€" diers are buried in Flanders. Later it is hoped to plant an avenue at Langemarck as a memorial to the Canadian heroes whose glorious deeds { immortalized that place. 1 PLANT MAPLE SEEDS WHERE CANADIANS FELL "Of these casualties, 32 killed and 95 injured were in the London area, and these figures include those anâ€" nounced last night."

The military casualties were 14 killed and 13 wounded. __ "Antiâ€"aircraft guns of the Royal Field Artillery, attached to the cenâ€" tral force,â€"were in action, and an airâ€" ship was seen to heel over on its side and to drop to a lower altitude. Five aeroplanes of the Royal Flying Corps went up, but owing to atmosâ€" pheric conditions only one aeroplane succeeded in locating an airship. This aeroplane, however, was unable to overhaul the airship before it was lost in the fog. "The Press Bureau of the War Office announces that a fleet of hosâ€" tile airships visited Eastern Counties and a portion of the London area and dropped bombs.

Before the war opened, Simon Lake, an Amer|â€" can builder of submarines, invented a vessel of the underâ€"water type which could lay these deadly explosive agonts.

The Bulgarians were attempting to cut the Salonicaâ€"Nish railway between Kalandovo and Dovdove, a few miles north of the Greek boundary, to preâ€" vent the transportation of reinforceâ€" ments and supplies to the Serbians." The Germans and Austrians claim to have gained complete possession of the strongly fortified heights south of Belgrade, and have occupied Avala, a Earlier despatches told of the deâ€" parture of the troops from Salonica and of the opening of the engagement of which the above despatch is probâ€" ably the sequel. The earlier despatch, which was dated Athens, read: "The French troops in Macedonia have received their baptism of fire near the railway bridge at Hadove (Gievgdi), where they were attacked by 40,000 Bulgarians. "Serboâ€"French troops initiated af« ter their success at Vilandovo a rapig counterâ€"offensive action, and peneâ€" trated into the enemy‘s territory and are marching victoriously on Strumâ€" nitza, the occupation of which is probâ€" able owing to the feeble resistance of the enemy." "Oneâ€"third of the Serbian army has been sent against Field Marshal yon Mackensen on the Drina, Save and Danube Rivers, while the other twoâ€" thirds have been placed along the castern front against the Bulgarian forces. ‘The latter at many points have taken the offensive. "It is learned from diplomatic sources that Field Marshal von Macâ€" kensen, the German commander, has demanded reinforcements." A special despatch to the Rome Idea Nazionale from Athens says: The advices declare that "the fall of Strumnitza is imminent." The despatch continues: "The Serbqy. aided by the allies, repulsed the Bul. garians, who retreated on Strumnitza. Defeat a Force of 40,000 Attemptit.g to Cut the Nishâ€"Danube § Railway. A despatch from London says: The allied forces from Salonica have beâ€" gun operations against the Bulgarians with unexpected zeal, and already the Serboâ€"Angloâ€"French forces have penâ€" etrated into Bulgarian territory just north of the Greek boundary, and are attacking the Bulgarian stronghold of Strumnitza, according to advices reâ€" ceived from Salonica by the Reuter‘s Telegram Company.
