 J. T. Hart. representing Kentucky, said that what he knew of Hays energy, it would not be long before the committee was called together in selecting a new executive committee. Tn recommendations of the old com mittee calling for an advisory com mittee of women and continuing the old Hughes campaign committee were ignored, 1t was said, in order not to bind Mr Hays in any way as to his staff.
 There was considerable objection to eliminating the matter of the com- mittee of women but Rudolph K. Hynicka, of Ohio, where women suf- frage was recently defeated, was sus- tained in his contention that the mat ter could safely be left to Mir. Hays.

GREAT REJOICING
 AMONG THE AUSTRIANS
THANKSGIVING SERVICES BEING ARRANGED TO CELEBRATE THE END OF WAR WITH
 RUSSIA.

Amsterdam, Feb. 13-Flags are IIymg everywhere in Austria, accord Ing to adyices from Vienna and thans- giving services are being arranged to celebrate the news of Trotzky's dec claration that the war between the central powers and Russia is ended The Vienna official news agency ascribes the reversal in the attitude Of the Russian government to the fact that peace was concluded be- tween the central powers and Ukraine and expresses the conviction that as result of this peace there will be a strong reaction on the war in the west. The dispatch reads:
 Termination of the war is at last obtained by the diplomacy of the cen tral powres and there is no need to be discouraged by the form chosen by Russia for the. announcement of peace"
 Referring to economic arguments the papers argue that while exag- gerated hopes are not justified 1t may Je expected that of a two years har- vest at tho least. which could not be exported from Ukraine, there are still considerable stocks and that about one million tons will be available. In this connection. however, the papers point out the difficulties of transport which must first be reck- Cned with.

BONDS ARE FIXED AT
 FROM $2,OOO TO $IO,OOO
Was the Third Time This Year That the German Flag Had Been Raised at the Germanla Club-Mayor of G'ty Among Those Placed Under Arrest.

alouston, Tex, Feb, 18-W. C. l1ahgIotz' mayor, and ten citizens of fayetteville, near here pleaded not guilty here today before the United states commissioner to charges of espionage.
 bohus ag9regating $69,000 were fur hlshed this afternoon by eleven resi- dents of Fayetteville following their hearing this morning before United States Commissioner A. l.. Jackson. when each was held for the federal grand jury for further examination under individual bail ranging from S2,O00 to $100OO, for the unlawful raising of the German flag from the gallery of the Fayetteville Germania Club Tuesday morning for the third | time this year. Personal checks were given by the men to cover the | amounts of their bonds.
 The hoisting of the emblem was somewhat of an error, according to the version given by w c. Langlotz mayor of Fayetteville. Langlotz ex- plained to newspaper men that hay ing been sick for some time the sec l retary of the club had instructed the clerk, Walter Drawe, simply to hoist the flag. Drawe, in carrying out orders, went to the club and picked up the first flag he saw, using no discrimination as to the colors, and raised the flag as he was told The men did not furnish the bond at the arraignment but later Wednesday aft ernoon they were brought before the commissioner and all furnished the required sum for their appearance. District Attorney Green announced that he would not insist on them making peace bond but that they just be held under the bond for trial. They will forego the peace bonds until then.
 But gentlemen" he said. turning to the accused, who were busy signing checks on Fayetteville bank as bond. If you make any attempt to find out who informed the government of your actions you may have to face more serious charges than those now against you"
 When the defendants were ar raigned jointly and were read the section of the espionage act they are accused of transgressing, MT. Greene questioned the defendant Kurtz: "II understand you made a statement that you would make your bond. no matter if it was $1OO.OO0, is that right?"
 "No sir, not that much, but I think can make my bond" responded Kurtz, with a smile.
 Then, MT. Jackson, recommend that the bond in the case of Page! and Langlotz be set at s5,00O each, while that of Kurtz be $10,000, as he seems to be able to make it." re- quested MT. Greene.
 T don't think can make that bond. either" reflected Kurtz.
 All were held for the federal grand jury.

BOl9 PASHA Is ALSO
 CONVICTED OF BIGAMY
Evidence Furnished By the United States Was the Strongest Card of the Prosecutor, Who Rebuked 5oIo's Brother fer Suggesting the Evidence Had Been Manufactured.

Paris, Feb. 13-As AT uornot prosecutor in the case of Bolo Pasha charged with treason, developed his case this afternoon he freouentIv closed his arguments with an em- phatic, T demand sentence of death"
 The court martial for the first time assumed that tragic aspect which eharacterizes all court martials and which, heretofore in the present case has been lacking, owing to the Ievity )f some witnesses and at times of the accused himself
 Bolo Pasha's personality paled into 'nsignificance as NJ Mornet unravelled the tangled German intrigue involv- ing prominent personages in mary countries and extending over two continents
 This is only one instance of Urea son in France" said N Mornot
 "fhis is the first chapter Other chapters will follow"
 The evidence from the United States appeared to be the strongest card of the prosecutor and on it lie dwet at length. M Mornet rebuked Honsignor Bolo, brother of the ac- cused man for suggesting that the American evidence was manufactured and false After saying that France had escaped the gravest danger since the Marne. NJ Mornet closed as fol- lows
 The eyes of our allies are on us In the eyes Of France we arc judging a man who attempted 10 do in France what has been accomplished in Rus sia. We must show no weakness The world is fighting for it's liberty and is in expectancy
 Tn times of peace I nave stood here many times asking the death penalty for miserable individual guilty of murder and it Was not without twinge of regret
 But today without pity or mercy. but with sense of stern duty to my country, and to our allies, ask fov death
 Bolo Pas5a, who wept when he was defended by his brother and his former wife, sneered at M Mornets plea. He never moved as his ac cuser relentlessly attacked him.
 Before the closing of M Mornet's address word was brought in that the civil court had refused Bolo's request for an annullment of his first mar riago, thereby convicting him of bigamy.
 It was a bad day for Bolo Pasha, but he smiled and bowed as nonchal- ently as ever as he left the court be- tween his two guards for his cell
 The verdict is expected late tomor- TOW night
 M Mornet spoke only a few words concerning Darius Po~chere. a de fendant with Bolo Pasha. He said he did not ask the death penalty for Porcherc since he played an entirely secondary role in the affair The prosecutor seemed to attach little im- p0rtance to Porchere's activities, thoueh he claimed he vas perfectly aware of tho nature of the business he had engaged in at the request Of Bolo
