l'ar tlic execution of Edith Cavell. the
i British nurse shot during thr war in
Iti u.w'.s, liis now definitely boon
I lacod at the d tor Sat' General von
Sauberzwetlg, according to the Brus
sels' correspondent of the Daily Tele
-aph. The death of Miss Cavell has
generally been attributed to General
von HI. 'r.g, at tiiat time governor
of Brussels, but a letter from Baron
von Her Lancken to the German for
eign secretary, which has but recent
ly been nude public, relieves that of
ficial of this ,->lur on his name, the
correspondent writes.
It is also established that general
von Saubcrzwelg had the power io
rF/tay the execution in order to give
time for an appeal to the Emperor
for mercy. To accomplish this Gen
oral von Sauberzweig would have had
i only to withhold his confirmation of
the sentence of the court martial.
Huron von l)er Lancken was n
Brussels at the time as an observer
if" the German Imperial Chanc dlory.
|He wrote the following letter:
i ‘ The Cavell affair is known to your
j excellency in all its detail The
! t-dect of it has been what I predicted
to von Sauberzweig in an intervi >w
1 had with him without, hov. ver,
| being able to shake him from bis
point of view regarding the 'PI 1
