New York, Feb. 15.--How a $15-a-
week telephone operator, posing as
his excellency, the Marquis Edmund
Rousselot di Castillot, confidential
representative of his majesty King
Alfonso XIII of Spain, opened nego-
tiations with the banking house of ].
r. Morgan & Co. for loan of $780,
100000 to Spain and, by promising
that Spain would enter the war on
the side of the entente allies, brought
the state department into the matter,

today when three indictments were
returned against Edmond Rousselot,
under the espionage law.
Rousselot was pressing his plan for
the loan when chance caused his ar
rest on another charge, and his castle
in Spain quickly toppled.
William Pierson Hamilton of the
Morgan house was foreman of the
grand jury which returned the in
dictments, and, was familiar with the
entire transaction because he was the
member Of the firm to whom the mat

The Canadians on tho famous Lens

undertook successfully similar
maneuver which bore fruit in the
bagging of a number of Germans.
Champagne Artillery Active.
In the Butte du Mesnil region of
Champagne. where the French, aid
ed by American batteries executed a
brilliant stroke earlier in the week, a
lively artillery duel was in progress
at last accounts, with the Americans
in all probability participating. Like

reciprocal bombardments of violent
character are in progress.

BOLO PASHA APPEALS
FROM DEATH SENTENCE


Paris, Feb. 15.-Bolo Pasha, who
yesterday was convicted by court
martial of treason and sentenced to
death, today appealed from the ver-
dict to the court of cessation.
Bolo was dressed in prison garb and
taken to the death cen on his return
to Sante prison. He passed restless
night, but was apparently hopeful that
the decision may be reversed on ap-
peal He said to the guards:
"I am perfectly tranquil. I have q
thousand grounds for appeal"
One of these is supposed to be the
allegation that witness for the pros
ecution was seen during a recess in
the trial in conversation with the
president of the court-martial and the
government council
Bolo's first inquiry this morning
was whether his neighbors in prison
has. been informed of the verdict. He
was told that Joseph Caillaux. former
premier, was astonished at his con-
viction. There were many callers at
the prison this morning but none was
admitted as Bolo was subject to strict
prison regulations and was constantly
under the eyes of the death watch,

INCREASE IN ACCIDENTS
DUE TO MANY RECRUITS

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 15.--The death OF
Captain Vernon Castle while flying
at Fort Worth was the fifth In the
aviation camps in that city within q
week.
The startling increase in fatalities
was attributed by aviation officers to
the greatly increased flying that came
with the advent of warm spring DAYS
and to the fact that the studens are
reaching stage where they fly
alone.
The Royal Flying corps cadents are
encouraged to make more daring and
dangerous flights than the American
students and the danger of collision is
increased by the greater number of
airplanes that are in the air during
practice times.
The fatalities this week at Fort
Worth began Monday with the acci-
dent to Lieutenant Peyton C.. March,
Jr., son of the chief of staff Of the
United States army, who fell 1,o0e
feet at Camp Bowies receiving in
juries from which he died the fol-
owing day. On Tuesday Cadets j. l..
Wray and F.. r., Porter were killed.
Yesterday Clifford n. Murray, ca
det, fell to his death.
There was one fatality at the camp
at Wichita Falls, this week and one
at Houston when Donald Gleaso was
killed. Today's brings the total fatal
tiles at Fort Worth to 10 as compar-
cd with seven at Houston, three at
San Antonio, two at Wichita Falls
and one each at Dallas and Waco.
Captain Castle was one of the best
liked men on the aviation field. A mil
itary funeral will be held tomorrow
afternoon. Captain Castles body will
be shipped to New York for burial. A
detachment from the Royal flying
corps will go as an escort of honor

Leader Declares in Report
That Country Is Withdraw

Appearance but Reality.


London, Feb. 15.--Russa's with
drawal from the war was real,with-
drawal, and the throwing away Of
all agreements with her former al
lies, said Leon Troszky the Bolshe-
wiki foreign minister in reporting to
the all-Russian workmen's and SOL
diers' councils on the result of the
Brest-Litovsk conference, according to
Russian wireless dispatch received
here.
The dispatch says the councils ap-
proved Trotzky's policy.
The wireless communication says:
m. Tratzky yesterday reported to
the all Russian central executive COM
mittee of the councils the results Of
the Brest-Litovsk negotiations. All
parties, including the opposition
groups, recognized that the decision
taken by the commissioners was the
only correct and dignified outcome of
the newly-created international situa-
ton.
German Offensive Discussed.
THE question of the possibility of a
German offensive against Russia was
discussed. Nearly all present were
of the opinion that it was virtually
improbable, but uttered warnings
against unlimited optimism in this di-
rection, because the extreme annexa-
zionist groups in Germany might force
the government to a new offensive.
'All the speakers expressed confi-
dence that the masses of the peoples
of Germany and Austria Hungary
would not permit new bloodshed on
the Russian front, for such an often
sive would have the character OF an
open raid for plunder.
Council Approves Policy.
M Trotzky completed his report
with the statement that Russia was
Withdrawing from the war not only
in appearance but in reality, was
throwing away all agreements with
her former allies, and, as regards the
war in progress, was reserving for
herself complete freedom with respect
to both sides in her revolutionary
policy.
The councils adopted the resolu-
tion and approved the whole policy
of the Brest-Litovsk delegation"
