GREET SENTENCE
Bolo's Manipulation of
Funds In New York Bank
Led To Arrest
CBy Associated Press.)

Paris, Feb. Is. - Without the
slightest tremor, Bolo Pasha, con-
victed Of high treason, heard Colonel
Voyer, president Of the court martial,
pronounce sentence of death upon
him today amid an impressive
silence in the court room. Merely
shaking his head and struggling his
shoulders, as if to say it was hope
less to fight against the odds, Bolo
returned to his cell. .
Awed by the soldiers with fixed
bayonets, those who had assembled
In the courtroom refrained from all
demonstration, but the great crowds
outside the courthouse uttered a
terrific roar and cheers of approval
as word of the sentence reached
them, plainly showing the favor
which the sentence of death found
among the French people.
Swiftly the news of the coming
execution of Bolot Pasha spread
throughout the city. Colonel Voyer
had not yet completed reading the
sentence when the cheers of the
multitude from outside drowned his
voice.
The court-martiaI was unanimous
time four to three against the
conviction of Porchere, but finally
compromised, six to one, on con-
viction on the charge of commerce
with the enemy" carrying a lighter
sentence. The judges deliberated
only a few minutes, and as they
filed into the court room, it was
easily discernible that Bolo Pasha's
fate was sealed.
An appeal will be entered on a
technicahty, but the general trend
of comment heard in legal, Journal
istic and political circles is: 1
with Bolo's death, BOloism will
die"
Paul BoIe Pasha's court martial |
was one OF the first Of the so -called |
cases of intelligence with the en-
envy" and came up for trial before |
the third court-martial of Paris on
Feb. 4. Bolo Pasha was charged
with having capitalized the COM |
pany that bought the Paris news
paper LIE Journal with money OBJ
tanned from the Germans.
Bolo Pasha was an instrument OF
German propaganda, one of the first
to find exposure in the French in
vestigations of 1917 and his name
has come to be used as IMPLYING the
entire system of "Boloism" by which
Germany strove to break down the
French morale and instill a desire
for peace by spreading the idea that
Germany could not be beaten, and
that it would be we'll to make the
best terms possible with her as soon
as they could be arranged.
Subsidized Newspapers,
T& haI haan charged that GERMANY
in attempting to bride French
statesmen and leaders and to in
fiuence French opinion substituting
in France or founding
new publications to disseminate the
spirit of pacihcism or defeat, de-
voted a sum Of money in the neigh
borhood of 100000 900 marks. Bolo
himself was paid to have had the use
of fund of more than $1,500,000 to
be used in attempting to corrupt the
French press.

Mr.. Clements Ability

No voter or taxpayer can easily
question the ability of Mr.. Clement in
connection with the chief state issues
involved in the coming election.
These are chiefly of a business and
patriotic nature connected with the
war. There is no comparison be-
tween the business ability and iudg-
ment of M. Clement and Mr.. Mayo.
The state can profit from the bust
ness qualifications of Mr.. Clement,
and with the republican members of
the legislature frankly announcing to
the people of the state their attitude
toward the national prohibition
amendment which will be submitted
to the Legislature for consideration,
the party will stand before the voters
of Vermont as well assthe nation at
large as courageous and true to it.

HARVESTING CROPS
Three Hundred Acres Cultivated at
Camp Dix

Camp Dix, Wrightston, N. j., Oct.
4.-The soldiers are harvesting the
crop from the 800 acre demonstration
garden planted last spring by the Ma
tional War Garden Commission.
They are counting 100000 ears of
sweet corn and 100000 pounds OF po-
tatoes as well as weighing AL 900
pounds of hay and measuring up CO.,
900 pounds of string beans.
The soldier-farmers gave a harvest
luncheon. Lieutenant Bonner took
great pride in showing a field Of
broom corn from which the Reclama-
ton Service will make about 1000
brooms. Ask Mrs. Housewife if this
is important and she will say yes for
brooms are now over the dollar mark
a. the corner store.
Indications here are that the War
Department will do big things next
year now that this demonstrations
garden has "made good" with crop
valued at $4,000.

A French Retrospect of the War

Alexandra Millerand, the distin-
guished French statesman, orator, re-
former, minister of war ipg1914, con-
tributes a scholarly. article to the
Paris Revue des Deux Mondes on the
present crisis. He casts a brief
glance at the most striking events OF
the great war and closes by stating
in the clearest terms the conditions
which must be exacted from Ger
many before treaty of peace can
be concluded. Issuing from so emf
nent a source, his words are OF
special import and interest.
His terms that must be settled by
Germany are as follows:
Give words summarize the con-
ditions of peace acceptable by the
Entente: 'Prussian militarlsm must
be destroyed
"Let that be until the close of the
war our one thought, the immutable
word of command.
"To return Ilsace-Lorraine to
France; unite Italia irredente with
Italy, Rumania with her sons groan-
ing under Hungarian domination; to
summon TO freedom the Czechs, the
Czecho-Slovaks; to restore with the
indemnities which are due, glorious
stricken Belgium; to revivify Servla;
to reconstruct Poland, quartered be-
tween Russia, Austria and Prussia
what is that if it is not the destruc-
ton of Prussian militarism?
"Thc new world has not entered on
the scene, it does not traverse the
Atlantic, does not achieve the daily
miracles of which we are the amazed
and greatful witnesses, in order to
rest satisfied with a bastard, deceit
full peace pregnant with every sort OF
danger. The United States, and we
with them, will not halt until the am
is attained-Prussian militarism des-
troyed."
