SAN JOSE, COSTA RIGA, Dec 30,
Correspondence of the Associated
Press)-In keeping with his financial
operations as German propogandist
which resulted in his arrest in France
and an International scandal growing
out of his attempts to purchase or cor
ript French newspapers in the inter
est of Germany. Bolo Pasha enjoyed
a meteoric career in Costa Rica.
Having received considerable com
mercial reputation based largely on
on credit obtained from Costa Rican
business men, Bolo became the appear
ent owner of a beautiful farm and
handsome residence i'll the suburbs OF
Carriage. There he entertained on
lavish scale until he became enamored
of a French actress, lavished presents
uTon her and finally fed with her, leav-
ing his creditors TO seize his princely
estate only to discover that it had not
been paid for.
Bolo is said to have abandoned the
actress at Colon, Panama, leaving her
to mourn the loss of money and jew
els.
Paul Bolo, as he was known here,
came to Costa Rica posing as travel
ling salesman for important and well
established manufacturing and COM
mercial firms in France He was al
ways seen well dressed spoke several
languages, had most interesting con-
versation and good manners, was
gambler and quite fond of paying at
tention to women He soon made nu-
merous friends and being a plunger
and hustler soon obtained credit and
launched into business. He became

he sold one by one at a good profit.
N these transactions he formed the
basis of his capital, it is a well
known fact that when Bolo came to
Costa RIGA did not have a farthing to
his name.
In the purchase and sale of these
business places he made several thou
sand dollars but the climate of the
Atlantic zone did not agree with him
and he was often troubled with fever
and malaria. furthermore, his long
ing for the easy and APPARENTLY happy
life of bar rooms and hotels, enjoying
the company of beautiful women and
numerous friends, spurred him con-
atantly to come to this city.

A question was asked in last

with the sheep killing dogs. My
suggestion is that the thing most
needed is to work on the owners
of the dogs, as they stand lower
in my estimation than the dogs
under the present circumstances
when our country not only should
but must conserve food; when
all our energies are taxed to the
limit to pruduce enough food for
the soldiers and the people.
When the question of produc.
ing food for our soldiers who are
risking all for us is so acute, the
