The first man of the coterie of

able to Germany who by their machin-

and populace of France and bring
about a separate peace between the
republic and the Teutonic allies, has
been sentenced to death by French
courtmartial.
Through lavish expenditure of Ger
man money Bolo aided in a conspir-
acy which in some instances met with
successful corrupt French statesmen
and political leaders and to subsidize
the French press into expression of

take time by the forelock and cease

save herself from ultimate vanuuish-

The tentacles of the conspiracy
reached even the United States. Here
the money was transferred to Bolo
through tn intermediary of Count
Won Bernstorf, then German ambas-
sador to this country, and it was
mainly upon evidence of the opera

RUSSIA'S WITHDRAWAL.
Real Withdrawal From the War and
= All Agreements With Former
Allies Thrown Away.

Russia's withdrawal from the war
was a real withdrawal and the throw
ing away Of all agreements with her
former allies, said Leon Trotzky, the
Bolsheviki foreign minister, in re-
porting to the all-Russian workmen's
and soldiers councils on the result
of the Brest-Litovsk conference, ac-
cording to Russian wireless dis
patch of the 18TH.
The dispatch says the councils ap-
proved Trotzky's policy. The wireless
communication says:
I'M. Trotzky 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
taken by the commissioners was the
only correct and dignified outcome Of
ton.
"The question of the possibility of a
German offensive against Russia was
discussed. Nearly all present were of
the opinion that it was very imIrob-
able, but uttered warnings against un-
limited optimism in this direction be-
cause the extreme > annexationist
groups in Germany might force the
government to new offensive.
"'All the speakers expressed conf
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 plumber.
"Mr. Trotzky coupled his report with
the statement that Russia was with
drawing from the war, not only in ap-
pearance, but. in reality was throwing
away all agreements with her former
allies and as regards the war in prog
ress was reserving for herself com
plete freedom with respect, to both
sides in her revolutionary policy.
"The councils adopted the resolution
and approved the whole policy Of the
Brest-Litovsk delegation"
