War Summary

Paul Boio Pasha must face the fir
ing squad.
The first man of the coterie OF
French and other propagandisis fav-
cradle to Germany. who by their ma
chinations sought to disrupt the sol
iiers and populsce of France and
bring about a separate peace between
the republic snd the Teutonic allies.
has been sentenced to death by a
french courtmartial.
Through lavish expenditure OF Ger
man money, Bolo aided in a conspir-
acy, which which in some instances
met with success, to corrupt French
statesmen and political leaders and/to
subsidize the French press into eX-
preston of the idea that Germany
was invincible at arms and that
France should take time by the fore
lock and 70 ease her military activi-
ties against her enemies in order to
save herself from ultimate vanquish-
ment.
The tentacles of the conspiracy
reached even to the United States.
Here money was transferred to Bolo
through the intermediary of Count
BernstOrff. then German ambassador
to this country. and it was mainly
upon evidence of the operations of
Bolo and several of his followers in
the United States that BolO was con.
victed.
Political regulations in France have
been hlighted as a result of the
conspiracy and several additional per.
sons are under arrest and doubtless
soon will be courtmartialed Notable
among these men is Joseph CSillaux,
former prime minister of the re
public

The mention of American artillery
as being engaged with the French
against the Germans in the Cham
Dagne is the first indication that
Uns'ed States forces were in tha
hattie line elsewhere than east of
St Nihiel which is seventy miles
distant from the Chamnagne front
The presumption is that the American
artiIleryists are in training with the
French preparatory to joining their
comrades on their own sector.
BolsheViki Suspected.
Unofficial dispatches still indicate
that in German and Austrian official
circles there is very considerable dis
rust of the Bolsheviki leaders in
Russia. and that preOarations even
are in the making for stemming a
surprise maneuver on the east front
One Ravarian newspaper asserts that
the final conference between the Bol
sheviki and German and Austrian
reace delegates at Brest-Litovsk ended
IN a violent ruuture which bore all
the seeds of future conflict
