READY TO STRIKE, SEC
RETARY DECLARES.

Washington, April l7.-Secretary
Baker, back from a seven weeks
trip to Europe, today called on the
American people for renewed sup
port of the war. The secretary ex-
pected to report to President Wilson
some time during the day.
The American soldier has made
good in France" Secretary Baker
today assured newspaper men who
met him at the war department.
THE French and British authorities
are uniform in their praise of the
courage, endurance and soldierly
qualities of our men.
"The big thing for America to
do is to support the war;" the sec
retary continued, ito support it
financially and with firm belief. The
right arm of America is in France.
1t is barred and ready to strike. The
rest of the body is here in the
United States and it must support
the army. This support should in
clude subscriptions to Liberty loans
as we'll as moral support of high
confidence"
The condition of the American
troops, the secretary said, is excel
lent. They are well physically and
well in every other way their
spirits are high, their behavior ad-
mirable and their relations with the
French and British cordial and SYM
pathetic, he said,
"One rarely meets an American
soldier in France who does not
smile and wave his hat Mr.. Baker
said. "The only sad Americans
there are those who fear they may
have to come back before the job
is done"

FRENCH EXECUTE
PAUL BOLO PASHA
At EARLY MORN
FIRING SQUAD SENDS Bull
LETS INTO HEAD OF
TRAITOR.
INDIFFERENT At DEATH
Goes to Death in New Suit Of
Clothes, and Wearing White
Gloves, Gifts of His Brother -
Speaks Only Few Words.

Paris, April T.-Standing before
a firing squad in the forest of Vim
cennes early today, Paul Bolo Pasha,
condemned traitor, lost entirely the
attitude OF indifference he had main
tanned subsequent to and during hi5l
trial. When the order to fire was
given, the rifles spoke and Bolo
crumped up with several bullets in
his head.
Escorted by several guards, Bolo
left the Sante Private prison 45i
minutes before his execution. After
leaving the automobile at Vincenncs
he listened to the exhortations of
prison chaplain. Then his eyes were
bandaged and he went without
struggle to his place before the fir
ing squad.
SO much better; / am delighted
Bolo exclaimed when awakened this
morning by Commandant Julien of
the third courtmartial, when ne
hour of eXpiation had arrived.
These were the only words spoken
by Bolo, except for instructions to
the chaplain to take from his body
a silk lace handkerchief which he
placed on his chest, and give it to
his brother.
The condemned man went to his
execution in a new suit of clothes
brought to the prison by his brother
and wearing white gloves.
Before setting forth from the
prison Bolo asked to be permitted
to partake of communion.
After the execution the form of
an internment at Vincennes was
gone through and then the body
was turned over to Bolo's family.
When BolO was taken to the office
to go through the formalities of his,
removal from prison for the execu-
ton, he refused to sign the register,
The officer insisted, whereupon Bolo,
cried out in an authoritative man
ner:
at is | who command here; no
one has anything more to impose
upon me- | think
The chaplain, after the execution.
found lying over Bolo's heart two
embroidered handkerchiefs, which
had been pierced by the bullets. One
was given to Bolo's brother and the
other to his widow.

running into the lake up to this time,
while it is OF some help of course.
