Warrant Issued for
Editor Alleged To Be
Accomplice of BoIo

PARIS, Oct. IA warrant has been
issued for the arrest of CASTOR Routier,
French citizen, who founded the
pacifst newspaper LA Paix' at Madrid
with funds supposed to have been fur
nished by Bolo Pacha, charged with
having relations with the enemy. The
publication aroused the indignation Of
the French colony in the Spanish capi-
tai on account of its Germanophile ten
dencv. As the result Routier declared
he would cease publication and return
to France and enlist in the army.
Detectives were sent 70 the frontier

ing has yet been heard from him.
According to other information.

Krohn. the German naval attache at
Madrid.
Senator Charles Humbert, owner of

oelled his contract with Bolo Pachs
and refunded the 5,500,000 francs paid
by Polo for an interest in his news
paper.
After he signed the contract, Sena-
tor HUmbert says, he saw Bolo only at
wide intervals. and noticed nothing sus-
ricious. II was year after the con-
tract was signed that the Senator
learned n judicial inquiry had been
opened in regard to Bolo. He imme-
diately offered TO return the money,
hut Bolo declined TO accept IT. The
Senator accordingly could only await
further developments. and to-day con
cluded he had the right 10 break the
contract and refund the money.

The "Matin" says Bolo Pacha met
Abbas Hilmi. former Khedive of Egypt,
in Zurich in March. 1915. and concluded
an arrangement which was approved by
Gottlieb Won Jagow, then German For

Trustees Dismiss Cattell and

Against War Plans

Professor Henry W. l.. Dana and DR..
J. McKeen Cattell were elected from
the faculty Of Columbia University by
the trustees yesterday because their
disloysl attitude was doing grave in
Justice" TO the institution. Their posts
were declared vacant by unanimous
vote. DR.. Cattell is TO be retired and
Professor Dana is to be asked to resign.
Professor Dana, who is head OF the
department of English and Compare
tive literature, is the grandson OF
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. DR..
Cattell, widely known as a psycholo-
gist, is the father of Owen Cattell, the
Columbia student who was convicted
last summer of anti draft conspiracy.

DIR. Cattell Not Present

DR.. Cattell was not at the university
when the trustees met. and no state
ment could be obtained from him.
Professor Dana's comment was briei.
al am not going TO say anything that
will hurt me any further" he SAID.
DR.. Cattell is an alumnus OF La
favette College. of which his father
was president. He is brother OF
Henry Ware Cattell, an eminent path
ologist of Philadelphia. He is nifty
seven wears old. After his graduation
from LAFAYETTE he studied at Gottin-
gen. Leipzig, Paris and Geneva. Since
I89i he has been professor of psychol-
ogy az Columbia.
As was made public by the trustees
yesterday. resolution was adopted
AZ their meeting on March . that Pro-
fessor Cattell be suspended Tor the
rest of the academic year and that
his services be discontinued there
after. That action was taken because
of DR.. Cattell's suggestion after the
Faculty Club had been torn down that
DR.. Buffers home be turned into
faculty club. Dr. Cattell apologized'
and the resolution was held for
further consideration"

Active With Peoples Council

Professor Dana's offence was his IN
innate and active connection with the
Peoples Council, a radical organization
Of pacifsts. Letters which DR.. Cattell
wrote to Representatives in Congress
last August urging that no drafted men
be sent to Europe except with their
own consent caused the trustees TO
take action against him. DR.. CattelPs
letters were written on the letterheads
of Columbia
DR.. Butler, who on a previous occa-
sion. when DR.. Csttell was close to
forced resignation. is credited w;.s
having saved him, recommended his
"peremptory dismissal" and reviewed
in a letter the widespread criticism
which his acts had called down upon
Columbia. AS to Professor Dana, Dr.
Butler wrote, the organizations with
which he had been connected were
some of the most irresponsible. ir--
rational and unpatriotic elements OF
the population"

Withdrawal of Forces in Ancre
Given New Explanation
by Americans.
Won Hindenburg May be Trying

as Final Resort.

Geneva. Switzerland. (via London)
Feb. 27.-Although the withdrawal OF
German forces in the Ancre region
may signify nearly the abandonment
of a tactically unfavorable projection
of the German line at this point, an
other explanation is suggested by
Americans who have come to Switzer-
land recently after long stays in Ber-
lin. 1t is that the German retirement
may perhaps be the beginning of a
re-grouping of the Teutonc forces in
the west. with the intention of bring
ing on decisive open field engage
ment to settle the fate Of the war.
At the time of Field Marshal Won
11indenburg's appointment to chief
command last year. when the corre-
spondent was in Berlin, there was
much discussion of question the an
swer to which may be given by the
developments Of the next few days.
This question concerned the field
marshals plans for concluding the
war, and particularly the possibility
of some daring strategy to bring the
opposing armies out of the trenches
and substitute for trench warfare the

MORE CATTLE MAY BE
KILLED EACH MONTH TO
REMEDY MEAT SITUATION

Berlin. Feb. 27.-The progressives,
with some aid from other parties, are
making strenuous fight to induce
the government to remedy the exist
ing meat situation by increasing the
number of cattle that are slaugh-
tered each three months.
Armed with mass Of figures. lead
ing men of the party are contending
that the existing number of cattle is
steadily increasing almost to the
status of 1912, 1913 and 1914. while
the number slaughtered is far below
normal. They maintain that if a
policy of slaughtering on the basis
of the peace time percentage were to
be introduced today. the weekly meat
ration for Germany could easily be
increased to 400 grams, from ESQ at
present.
