Montgomery, Ala, Feb. 14.--The fact that the men were mounted al the time probably saved score of lives today at the artillery range north of this city, when a bolt of lightning from an almost clear sky struck battery D 134th field artillery, of Camp Sheridan, killing one man, seriously iniuring two others and se- verally shocking several. Six horses were killed and others were injured
 The dead man was Private Thos. Hawthorne, of Dayton, Ohio. Serg- cant Pearl Dewess was seriously in- jured and Private Decker was so ser- iously hurt that he was removed to the base hosnital for medical atten- tion. A score of other artillerymen were bruised when thrown from their mounts.
 The bolt that struck Hawthorne tore his uniform from his body and passed into his horse an on into the other horses, the first six of which were killed.

Gt:RAANS DISTRUSY BOL.SH|EVIKI PEACE
 NOVf: --SAY SHAM
Say Russian Demobi1iza- tlon Order Was Stopped <
 After First Issued.

Amsterdam, Feb. 14.-Judgng from the latest indications in the German press, much dissatisfaction and sl1s- picion have been aroused by the latest move of Foreign Minister Trotzky. I'm portant political and military leaders are said to be aonferring busily to find the best solution to the puzzle
 All German newspapers note the fact that three hours after a message was sent out announcing the issuance of n demobilization order to the Rus sian army, another Russian message was issued ordering that circulation of this communication be stopped. It is suggested that this indicates that the Bolshevik government no longer thinks of adhering to the declaration of Foreign Minister TrotZky. The Zeitung Am Mittag goes so far as to say that there are proofs that TrotZ- kys promise of Russian demObiliZa- ten is a sham maneuver. It declares that reliable reports represent the BolCheviki as energetically forming a Red guard army in the hope of rais- ing a million men to establish Bol- sheviki power in the border states.
 The Kruez Zeitung of Berlin on Tuesday declared, lon reliable lnfor- nation" that Trotzky's proposal is in no circumstances to be regarded as a peace offer, while it is pointed out by other papers that the Russian war theatre was mentioned especially in the official army report of Tuesday. +~1D lot, I,o Volks Zeitung of Wednesday says:
 Wants Regular Treaty Signed.
 "rhe government is not willing to continue relations with Russia on any basis Whatever unless the present Rus sian government signs regular peace treaty, as however, it must be reckon ed, for the present time at any rate, that Trotzky does not think of signing any formulated peace declaration, situation which makes necessary a thorough discussion between the gov ernment and the supreme army conn manG.'
 The correspondent, in an apparent ly inspired passage, adds: The chancellor is resolved, under the cir cumstances, to conduct further nego- tiations in any neutral center and it will be the affair of the central powers to determine where such negotiations may best be held.
 "On the other hand, it is evidently realized that the question of the big army of Austro-German prisoners of war in Russian territory still controll, ed by Petrograd cannot be overlook ed"
 A telegram from Vienna to the Tag lische Rundschau, says:
 T. is pointeed out in well informed quarters, that the confusion and un- certainty of international conditions in Russia demand that the central pow CTS adopt cautious and waiting atti- tude and that in spite of the absence of formal conclusion of peace there be no hindrance to the exchange of pri- soners"
 It is indicated in the above dispatch that Foreign Minister Trotzky may have made further proposals to the central powers. If such is the case no report concerning it has been receiv- ed in this country There may have been no direct dispatches from Pet rograd for several days.

 STEEL SHIP YARD
Department If Justice to
 lnvestiga+e log Island -' AcJ1vi1eS Tor U. $.

Washington, Feb. 14.-Investigation by the department of justice of the American International Corporations s construction of the governments big fabricated steel shipyard at Hog Is- land, Pa., was oroered today by President Wilson. with view to crim- inal prosecution if the fact develops more than reckless expenditure of government money. At the same time Chairman Hurley of the shipping board, who had requested the move, indicated that the corporations con- contract for building the yard and ships, involving many millions of dollars, might be cancelled, which was taken to mean that the government might take over the yard complete it's construction and build the ships it. self. This step has been urged by members of the senate committee in- vestigating ship building.
 Charges Made to Senate
 Charges of mismanagement and a reckless spending of government funds at Hog Island have been made freely before the senate committee. Witnesses have testified that the yard for which the shipping board is putting up all the money, may cost twice the sum of S21 100000 carried in original estimates The slow pro- gress made in construction of the yard and reports of loose manage ment prompted Chairman Hurley three weeks ago to put in full charge of the work foremr Rear Admiral Bowles, assistant general manager of the emergency fleet corporation, who is now on the ground. MT. Hurley's threat to cancel the corporations con- tract was contained in letter to Ad- miral Bowles. directing him to uncov- CT any irregularities, and notifying him that Attorney General Gregory had been requested to designate a. special assistant to aid him.
 Would Make $6,000,OOO
 The Hog Island contract was the largest of three fabricating stell con- tracts let by the emergency fleet cor poration, for which the government wa sto furnish all the money. The corporation is acting in effect as an agent of the government and. in the words of Admiral Bowles before the senate committee, is furnishing the "know how" It stands to make a profit of s6,000,OOO on the yard and on the ships it is to build.
 The American International Corpor- ation is composed of some of the coun- try's most powerful financiers. includ- ing Frank A. Vanderlip, Percy A. Rockefeller, J. Ogden Armour. Rob- ert Dollar. Robert s. Lovett. William E. Corry, John D. Ryan, Theo. N. Vail, Otto H. Kahn. Pierre s. DuPont, James Stillman, Beekman Winthrop and Chas. A. Stone.

BOLO PASHA MUST PAY TIE PENALTY
 FOR HIS TREASON
French Court Martial Con- demns German Propagan-
 dist to Face Squad.
Associated Press Summary.)


 Paul. Bolo Pasi1a must f;.ees d aling squad. The first man of the coterie of French and other propagandist favor able to Germany, who by their machi- nations sought to disrupt the soldiers and nopplace of France and bring about a separate peace between the tepuhlic and Teutonic allies, has been sentenced to death by French court martial.
 Thru lavish expenditure of German money, Bolo aided in a conspiracy, which in some instances met with suc- cess, to corrupt French statesmen and political leaders and to subsidize the French press into expression of the idea that Germany was invincible at arms, and that France should take time by the forelock and cease her military activities against her enc mics in order to save herself from ul- innate vanquishment. The tentacles of the conspiracy reached even to the United States. Here money was trans ferred to Bolo thru the intermediary of Count von Bernstorff. then German ambassador to this country, and it was mainly upon evidence of the opera tons of Rolo and several of his fol- lowers in tho United States that Bolo was convicted. Political regulations in France have been blighted as re- suit of the conspiracy, and several ad- ditional persons are under arrest and doubtless soon will be court martialed. Notable among these men is Joseph CaiilauX, former premier of the re- nub1ic
