BOLO PASTA IS
EXECUTED AS TRAITOR
CONDEMNED SPY LOSES INDIF
FERENCE BEFORE THE FIR
ING SQUAD.

PARIS.-Standing before a firing
squad in the forest of Vincennes ear
ly today Paul Bolo Pasha, condemn
ed traitor, lost entirely the attitude
of Indifference he had maintained
subsequent to and during his trial.
When the order to fire was given the
rifles spoke and Bolo crumpled up
with several bullets in his head.
Escorted by several guards, Bolo
left the Sante prison forty-five min
utes before his execution. After
leaving the automobile at Vincennes
he listened to the exhortation of a
prison chaplain. Then his eyes were
bandaged and he went without a
struggle to his place before the firing
squad.
$50 much the better; I am delight
ed" Bolo exclaimed when awakened
this morning by Commandant julien,
of the third court martial, who told
him that the hour of expiation had
arrived. Those were the only words
spoken by Bolo, except for instruc-
tions to the chaplain to take from
his body silk lace handkerchief
which he placed on his chest and give
it to his brother, Monsignor Bolo.
The condemned man went to his
execution in new suit of clothes
brought to the prison by his brother,
and wearing white gloves.
Had Checkered Career.
Paul Bolo, whose career has been
closed by the French government, was
born in Marseilles. He studied for
the law, but forsook that honorable
profession for occupations which
were varied and hazardous.
During the summer of 1916 Bolo
bought the Paris Journal from Sena-
tor Humbert, paying 100000 francs
for the property After the initiation
of proceedings against Bolo the money
he paid Senator Humbert was re-
funded.
In February, 1915, Bolo came to
America. The Deutsche Bank of
Berlin is said to have turned over to
Bolo sum of 100000 francs,
which was deposited in this country,
at least nine banks figuring in the
records of the case. Disclosures made
by the United States government rel
ative to his activities in this country
are said to have brought about his
arrest.
Bolo was arrested September 20,
1917, for receiving morey from Ger
many for use in peace propaganda.
After his arrest there came sensa-
tional disclosures of his activities.
Prominent Freshmen connected
with the Bolo affair included former
Premier Joseph Caillaux, Senator
Charles Humbert and Fernand Mon
Ter, presiding judge of the highest
Partisan court. Caillaux and Hum
bert are in prison awaiting trial.
Bolo's brother is a Catholic priest
and is one of the most eloquent pull
pit orators in the church in France.

SAYS THE PRICE OF
COTTON WILL NOT BE FIXED
1t Will Not Even Be Considered, De-
Clares South Carolina Senator.

NIares South Carolina Senator.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-Senator
Smith, of South Carolina, issued a
statement today denying that the war
industries board contemplated any
action looking to the fixing of prices
for cotton.
THE cotton market is being abso-
lutely demoralized by those who take
advantage of certain rumors as to
the price-fxing by the board of war
industry and by the introduction in
congress of certain bills as to fixing
prices" said Senator Smith.
"The war industries board has no
power under law to fix the price of
cotton, and am informed by a men,
Der of that board that the fixing of
the price of cotton has not been dis
cussed and no effort in that direction
is contemplated.
GAS to the bills introduced there
IS no probability whatever of any of
them being seriously discussed, much
less passed.
mo bill fixing the price of cotton
can pass congress, unless prices on
every article of commerce in Ameri-
ca are also fixed"

PHILADELPHIA. Cotton goods
hold strong, despite the drop in raw
material values last week, and prices
still continue on the upward trend.
Trade opinion is growing stronger
each day for price control. On the
other hand, cotton goods factors
point out that cotton fabrics are
quite scarce for many uses, and that
materials will continue to be scarce
while government demands cover
such huge volumes of goods and
while buyers show such a readiness
to take goods for civilian needs at
record prices. Government require
ments have done more to make the
prices climb than any other activity.
Print cloths are hitting higher lev
els this week. For 381s inch "a by

row cloths are quoted on a basis of
IA cents yard for 27-inch so by

are nominal. Fruit-of-the-loom is
bringing from three to five cents a

scant supply. Ginghams are advanc-

F." Who Will Win
This Battle p

Your kidneys are the filters of the body.
If they become inactive and fail to elm
mate the waste matter, they are apt to
throw the whole mechanism of the body
out of order, thus toxic poisons can ac-
cumulate in the system and be as deadly
as snake venom.
Besides causing the minor ailments of
rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and back
ache, neglect of the kidneys is apt to
develop into more serious diseases, such
as diabetes or stone in the bladder.
Rid the body of toxic poisons clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the
twinges of rheumatism with Anuric
and you win the battle of life.
Anuric was first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and has benefited thousands OF sufferers
as well as appeased and eliminated the
ravages Of the more serious kidney dis
eases. Now procurable at any good drug
store for 60c, or send DIR. v. NJ. Pierce,

SEVERE PENALTY BILL IS
DEFEATED In The SENATE
Senator Smith Voted Against 1t. De-
feat Is Regarded as Rebuke to
Workmen Who Struck.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The con-
ference report on the bill providing
severe penalties for destruction of or
interference with production of es-
sential war materials, containing the
clause giving workmen the right to
strike for better wages or working
conditions, was rejected today by the
senate, "a to %.
The vote following yesterdays bit
ter denunciation of labor's attitude
in the war in numerous strikes on
war jobs will cause the house to
reconsider the bill. The senate's OPP
position was directed solely to the
clause providing that the bill should
not restrict workmen from striking.
Many senators regarded today's
vote as a rebuke to workmen who
have struck at shipyards and facto-
ries engaged on war work.

Senator Overman, of North Caro-
lima, who had charge of the measure,

CONGRESS MAY FIX THE
PRICES OF ALL COMMODITIES
Prices Now Under Control Have Fail
ed of Purpose. Bread an Example.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With the
attention of congress again focused
on price fixing by the fight over $3.50
wheat growing demand was in evil
dence today that the government go
all the way and fix prices on all pri-
mary commodities or else abandon all
efforts at price fixing.
Halfway measures, such as fixing
the price on wheat and allowing the
cost of coarser grains, ordinarily less
valuable, to overtop the wheat price
had not achieved their purpose,
democrats and republicans agreed.
When there was no price-fxing
and and wheat sold as high as $500 a
oushel bread sold at from 6 to 8
cents loaf" said Representative
Campbell, of Kansas. To-day you get
bread not two-thirds wheat, and you
pay 10 cents a loaf for it. The rea-
son Is that you have made wheat sub
Sututes more valuable than wheat it.

BAKER BACK HOME;
TO RUSH men OVER
THE WAR SECRETARY ARRIVES
SAFELY AFTER TRIP TO ITAL.
IAN AND FRENCH FRONTS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Steeled to
the work ahead of him by personal
knowledge of conditions at the battle
fronts in Europe, Secretary Baker
returned to his desk at the war de-
partment tonight from his trip
abroad, prepared to concentrate ev-
cry energy on expediting the move
ment of American fighting men to
France.
The secretary of war, it is I'M
derstood, is not inclined to under
estimate the peril that further Ger
man successes in the present terrific
onslaught against the allied lines
might involve. There is no doubt,
however, that he believes adequate
measures to checkmate the German
effort will come out of the pooling
of all allied and American resources
under the command of General Foch.
Mr.. Baker had little to say for
publication. On his arrival today at
an Atlantic port he authorized this
statement:
II return with sense of pride and
confidence at the achievements of the
United States and allied troops
abroad that would justify many trips
across the water"
Saw All Battlefronts.
During his trip Mr.. Baker visited
England, France and Italy and saw
the battlefronts all along the line. He
has been in the American front-line
trenches under fire; once German
she'll exploded close to his automobile
and on another occasion he stood in
the window of battered building be-
hind the allied line to watch high
power missiles tear great craters in
a field less than 100 yards away.

RED CROSS PRAISED BY
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS,
(By Hugh S. Hughs. Try

By reason Of an evident misunder-
standing on the part of some as to the
attitude of Christian Scientists toward
the Red Cross, l am pleased with the
opportunity afforded me through the
courtesy Of the Evening Wisconsin to
offer an explanation.
Among the army Of well meaning
solicitors for the Red Cross fund, many
are doubtless unaware Of the gener-
Gus response for war relief purposes
that are being made through channels
provided by Christian Science organ
izations throughout the country, and
all who elect to contribute through
these channels are entitled to a re
spectful recognition Of their rights OF
citizenship if that spirit Of liberty for
which the allied nations are waging
war is to become an actuality in the
affairs Of men,
Quotes Red Cross Manager.
Harvey D. Gibson, general manager
OF the Red Cross society, in a letter
to the Christian Science Monitor un-
der date Of May IA, left no room for
doubt as to the fairness that should
be manifested, when he said:
eve have constantly instructed our
workers throughout the whole coun-
try that under no circumstances is CO.
ercion to be used in the collection Of
funds or the recruiting Of members.
"NOt later than yesterday we again
sounded the last note Of warning on
this subject prior to this campaign.
We particularly cautioned all our rep
resentatives that in the conduct of in
dustrial campaigns, contributions are
to be entirely voluntary and that en-
plOyes are to be neither coerced nor
embarrassed into giving.
''In vast organization such as this
where the work of securing cOntribu-
tons is necessarily delegated to hun
dreds Of thousands Of earnest men and
women, some mistakes in judgment
will occur, but they are mistakes of
over Zealousness and have not the en-
dorsement Of the national body"
No loyal citizen is in any way dis
posed to undervalue the splendid work
of the Red Cross. A Christian Scien-
fist may have his preference as to
the channels through which he con-
tributes his quota Of relief, but he is
none the less WhOle-hearted contrib
utor Of both funds and service, and
is therefore to be regarded as a good
citizen and a good soldier.
A Christian Scientist asks for no,
more complete summary Of the situa-
ton than is to be found in the words
Of that noble woman, Clara Barton,
founder of the Red Cross. In a re-
corded interview in 1903 on the sub
ject Of Christian Science she said: It's
teachings spread love and good will
among men, and Christian Scientist
cannot be a Christian Scientist unless
he has eliminated greed and selfish
ness from his nature. "-Evening, Wis
