BOLO PASHA SAYS
 HE IS NO TRAITOR
 ATTREASONTRIAL
Former Premier CaillauX
 Called In Court Martial
 As Witness - Defendant Is Full of Persiflage
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Feb. Al am no traitor. l have asked to be judged, and l am will ing to die; but not as a traitor"
 Thus spoke Bolo Pasha, who was brought to trial by court martial to- day on charge of treason in having been d chief factor in German propa- ganda in France Bolo's quick wit and repartee were features of the sitting. as he tried to eXtricate himself from the conclusions of the report of Cap tain Bouchardon of the Paris military court, who took the preliminary testi- mony, and asked for explanations by Colonel Noyer, the president of the court martial
 Otherwise than for the nervous fumbling of his monocle, Bolo was inn passive during the reading of Captain Bouchardon's report of the investiga- tion, dealing with Bolo's activities in Switzerland and affairs alleged to have been carried out in the United States. The report dealt extensively with his activities in the United States in connection with Adolph Pavenstedt who formerly was connected with a New York banking house but now is in a Georgia internment camp. The defense outlined by Bolos counsel was
 
 in the interest of the entente powers. CaiIaux Is Called to Stand
 When former Premier CaillauX was called witness for the defense, Bolo said he would waive Caillaux's testi- mony, but Darius Pochere, a code | fendant objected to this, declaring that i CaillauXs testimony must be heard, ii not in the present case, then on behalf of himself.
 | During the reading of Captain Bouchardon's report, Bolo appeared somewhat bored. but when called upor l by the president of the court martia to explain discrepancies in his pre- vious testimony the prisoner soon be. came voluble. He spoke with d pat roniZing air to the prosecuting attor. ney and the president of the court ant admitted many discrepancies and al together was considered to have haC the better of the repartee.
 On being questioned by Captain Mornet, the prosecutor, why, consider ing the volume of business transacte, by him, he kept no books or records Bolo replied:
 He Is Master of Money
 T am the master of money, not it slave"
 Bolo asserted that the money he re ceived from Abbas Hilmi, forme khedive of Egypt, through F'ieleipp Cavallinie, an Italian, who is ailege to have taken s40O.O0O to Bolo Pasha' hotel in Paris in April, 1915, was i

 Difficulties of transportation, it is declared both in the presidents procIa- | nation and in a statement prepared bv the fuel administration, make licensing necessary that essential industries be supplied.

CUT IMPORTS FOR FREEING SHIPS, PLAN
Drastic Measure May Be
 Taken By Government In It's Endeavor to Secure Shipping for War Uses
1RepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Feb. A fifty per cent reduction in the volume of imports is one of the measures under consid- eration by the administration to make available ships for transporting troops to France.
 Overseas transportation is recog- niZed as the real problem facing the government in it's effort to put on the firing line big fighting force and keep it in supplies. Estimates of the amount of tonnage necessary to keep an army supplied vary all the way from four to seven tons in continuous service for each man engaged. The United States now has in all services about four mill lion tons of shipping, of which prob ably One-fourth is engaged in bringing materials heretofore regarded as essen tiaI to the national industrial life.
 If negotiations now under way with neutral countries are concluded sue cessfully a large amount of neutral tonnage will be used to supplant Amer ican ships engaged iH non hazardous trades. It is regarded as likely that the entire one million tons of American ships engaged will be put into the trans Atlantic service, leaving the neu- tral ships to supply insofar as possible the gap made. The general opinion is that about fifty per cent of the short age will not be supplied.
 In addition to it's efforts to obtain neutral tonnage the government ex- poets soon to take over all American sailing ships and large number oi French sailing ships. all of which will be put in non- hazardous trades. This move will add some tonnage to that available for bringing in imports.
 If cut in imports is made the gov ernment will select for elimination a list of articles which it regards as not essential in the prosecution of the war Imports of certain materials, including nitrates and manganese must be kept up to a maximum. The country will need this year about 100000 tons of nitrates from Chile and fully 750, 00C tons of manganese from Brazil

 Views On War Work
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wlrel


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Controver- sy over the governments war efficien- cy and the bills for a war cabinet and munitions director was renewed today in the senate with debate which oc- cupied virtually the entire day.
 Senator Hitchcock, democratic mem Der of the military committee, deliV cred a two-hour prepared speech in support of the two bills which the pres ident opposes. sharply criticiZing the war department and charging Secre- tary Baker with unintentiOnally mis- leading the county by making -dbso- lutely preposterous and exaggerated statements" regarding the country's ability to get soldiers abroad.
 Senator Williams, of Mississippi and Senator Reed of Missouri, democrats, replied, opposing the war re-organiza- ton measures as proposals to usurp President Wilson's authority. The for mer declared that the German game is muckracking the administration and asserting that efforts to enforce the bills are futile because of certain executive veto, urged cessation of agi- tation.
 Opposes Hitchcock's Hand
 While praising Senators Hitchcock and Chamberlain as unimpeachable patriots, Senator Reed, another mili- tary committee member, argued that the war cabinet bill is unconstitutional and praised the governments accom- plishments in the war, asserting that admitted deficiencies are minor com pared to the magnitude of achieve ments.
 Tt has been said on the floor of the senate that the military machine has broken down." said the Missouri sen ator. You can't say that a machine that put 100000 men under arms in so short a time is total failure, you can't say that machine that has sent thousands of men abroad without a single life lost is a total failure, you cant say that a machine that is con- structing enough airplanes to cloud enemy cities from the sun. is a total failure"
 The discussion is to be renewed to- morrow with a speech by Senator Wadsworth of New York, republican committee member in support of the war reorganization legislation
 Among other senators planning ad- dreses are Thomas of Colorado an6 Kirby of Arkansas, democratic mem- bers of the committee, and Chairman Chamberlain.
 Hope to End Controversy
