To describe Edith Cavell as an “unfortunate nurse,” as the leader on page 8 which found a new cause to castigate the Germans for, seems to be understating things somewhat. The leader acknowledged that technically she was in the wrong, and wondered, ironically for such an article, whether “all comment is not superfluous” in this case, not that it was holding back – “Nothing, probably, can now brand with fouler infamy the German name, stained as it is by all the damning items in its past record, from Louvain and the Lusitania down to the murder of an English nurse,” and “Our enemy has incurred the disgust and loathing of all honourable and merciful men in Europe and America” for example. Pages 9 and 10, meanwhile, contain the lengthy documentation of the case.
