Work.

Paris, April 18.-Paul Bolo Pasha
has been executed in Vincennes.
Reports of the supplementary inves-
tigation of the revelations made by
Bolo will be attached to the Humbert
and Caillaux cases.
Found Guilty of Treason.
Bolo, a Levantine, was found guilty
by court-martial Of treason. He was
charged with participating in the
German propaganda undertaken to un-
dermine the morale of the French
army and people.
His trial attracted much attention,
owing to the fact that the principal evil
dence was furnished by the United
States gov&nment, contradiction OF
which the French prosecutor, Captain
Monet, refused to consider.
Given 100000 by Bernstorff.
This showed that Bolo had been In
communication with Count Won Bern
storff and had been given $1,600,000 by
the then German ambassador to
Washington.
This sum Bolo used to buy into LIE
Journal, the chief owner of which,
Senator Humbert, is now under arrest
on a treason charge.
Caillaux in Prison.
Former Premier Caillaux is another
prominent Frenchman in La Sante
prison with whom Bolo is said to
have had communication.
It was owing to his claim that he
could give evidence against Humbert
and Gaillanx that Bolo prolonged his

Quits Law for Wine.
Paul Bolo, born In Marseilles of Lev
antlne parentage, studied for the law.
He was identified in several enter
prises which failed and then he drift
ed to Paris, where, In 1894, he was
convicted of abuse of confidence and
swindling. He later went to Valencia,
Spain, where he conducted cafe
which was frequented by the French
colony.
In 1902 he married a widow who had
an annual income of 10000 francs
($l2,0OO) and at once enlarged his field
OF activities, becoming an agent for
wines.
Agent for khedlve of Egypt.
Just before the world war broke out
in 1914 Bolo entered into a new phase
OF work, which took him to Egypt
where he met Abbas Hilmi, then the
khedive, for whom he became a trust
ed agent in the exploitation of land
owned by the khedive and for the pro-
lection Of the khedives interests In the
Suez canal and in Egypt in the event
that England should repudiate Abbas
Hilmi. From the khedive Bolo re-
ceived the title of pasha, which has
been linked with his name.
Bolo was arrested September 20,
1917, for receiving money from Ger
many for use In peace propaganda.
After his arrest there came sensational
disclosures Of his activities.
He was placed ON trial for high trea-
son on February A, 1918, was convicted

did It, but l was becoming hardened
to that.
These little bitches, however, were
too narrow to swim and too wide to
jump. They had perhaps two feet Of
water In them and three feet Of mud,
and 1t was almost invariably case Of
wading through. Some Of them, no
doubt, could have jumped II had
been In decent shape. but with bad
ankle and In the weakened condition
in which I was, 1t was almost out Of
the question.
One night I came to a ditch about
eight or nine feet wide. I thought I
was strong enough to jump 1t and It
was worth trying as the discomfort I
suffered after wading these bitches
was considerable. Taking a long run,
I Jumped as hard as I could, but I
missed It by four or i've inches and
landed In about two feet Of water and
three Of mud. Getting out Of that
mess was quite a Job. The water was
too dirty and too scanty to enable me
to wash of the mud with which I was
covered and 1t was too wet to scrape
of. Just had to wait until It dried
and scrape 1t of then.
In many sections of Belgium through
which l had to pass l encountered
large areas Of swamp and marsiy
ground and rather than waste the
time involved In looking for better
nderfooting-which might not have
found anyway used to pole right

discomfort Of this method of travel.
Ing and the slow time I made, there
was an added danger to me In the face
that the Squash. squash" noise which
1 made might easily be overheard by
BelSians and Germans and give my
position away. Nobody would cross
a swamp or marsh In that part of the
country unless he was trying to get
away from somebody, and l realized
my danger but could not get around 1t.
1t was n common sight In Belgium
to see small donkey and common

pulling wagon. When first OBJ

thought 1t was donkey and OK or

Germans. Cows and donkeys are now

nearly eight weeks wandering through

(2) That we extend to her family
our deep and heartfelt sympathy and
commend them to her Savior and bid
them, in their sad loss, to follow her
as she followed Him.
(3) That we as a chapter desire
to offer this tribute of love to our
departed member.
