BOlo Pasha Appeals From
Sentence of Court-Martial

Paris, Feb. 15.-Bolo Pasha, who
was convicted by a court-martial of
treason and sentenced to death, has
appealed from the verdict to the
Court of Cessation.
Bolo, much to his surprise, was
dressed in prison garb and taken to
the death cell on his return to Sante
prison. He passed a restless night,
but was apparently hopeful that the
decision might be reverred on appeal.
He said to the guards:
Il am perfectly tranquil. 1 have
a thousand grounds for appeal"
One of these is supposed to be the
allegation that a witness for tho
prosecution was seen during a recess
in the trial in conversation with the
president of the court-martial and
the government counsel.
Bolo's first inquiry yesterday
morning was whether lis neighbors
in prison had been informed of the
verdict He was told that Joseph
Caillaux. former Premier, was aston
ished at his conviction. There were
many callers at the prison. but none
was admitted, as Bolo was subjected
to strict prison regulations and was
constantly under the eyes of the
death watch. He was handcuffed
when taken out for exercise and
when brought into court.

FRENCH-SPEAKING
GIRLS WANTED
U. S. Plans to Send Corps of
Telephone Operators
"Over There"

'Parlez vous Francais?" asks
/ Uncle Sam of the women who are
to operate his army telephone sys-
} TENS in France, and he doesn't
| simply take "our' for an answer.
The prospective military operator
must have great deal more than a
smattering of French; she must be
able to speak it fluently. and she is
given tests over the telephone which
Immediately indicate whether she
is capable of holding up her end OF
a conversation in native French.
Uncle Sam wants to have his tele-
phone system in France operated
by the most efficient operators in
the world, and that means by
American young women. The Sig
nal Corps have asked the telephone
companies in the United States to
secure these switchboard soldiers"
for them.
Just because you are or have been
a telephone operator, don't think
that YOU therefore can easily se-
cure position in this eXpedi.
tionary operating force. The first
and fixed requirement is an ability
to speak and read both French and
English fluently and be able to
understand readily French spoken
over a telephone line. The Ameri-
can telephone system in France not
only links General Pershings head
quarters with various points of mill
tarv Importance, but il also connects
directly with the French government
/ telephone system, and so unless your
French is very, very good, do not
consider yourself a qualified appli-
cant.
knowledge of switchboard is also
necessary, but if you do not have
this knowledge and If all the ope--
ators needed are not obtained from
those already having experience, YOU
may be accepted without previous
experience and given the necessary
training by some telephone COM
pany.
There are already a number OF
women in training for this force.
They are given special training at
local, toll and private branch ex-
change work and spend a certain
time at cantonment central office
to become familiar with certain OF
the features of military operating.
therefore, if you can handle the
French language as well as you do
the English and are dependable, re-
sourceful and able, If necessary, t.
go it on your own" as the soldiers
say when the tide OF battle compels
prompt. individual action to meet
serious situation, then by all means
apply. Nearly a hundred young
women have alreadv been selected
and judging from them, this unit
will meet with all those require
ments and be one of the most DEM
ccrdtIc and truly representative
American forces sent abroad.
In every respect these young wom-
en- will be soldiers coming under
military restrictions at all times.
The pay will be $50 a month for op-
orators, with corresponding rates
for supervisors and for chief oper-
ators, in addition to which allow
ances will also be made for rations
and quarters when these things are
not provided by the Army.

Grain Supply Is Cut Of

Owners of breweries all over the

sooner or later in closing all brew

sters to purchase any more barley
or other grains for mailing. There
is no malt producing establishment
in Harrisburg, breweries here secure
the commodity from Philadelphia or
the West. Many of them have enough
barley and other grains on hand to
supply the breweries for perhaps
two months but after that if the or

an additional war prohibition meas

can be eaten as a fruit, cooked as n
vegetable, used as a salad, or dried
and made into flour. The assertion
is made that thousands of punches
now are rotting on the ground in
