HOW MANY AMERICANS IN
FRANCE7

Under the new plan Of speeding
up Americas participation in the
war, it is stated that soldiers now in
training camps in this country, will
be on the fighting line within sixty
days.
The men will be given thirty days
training with the English and French
troops with which they are brigaded,
and viii then be ready for the front.
The American war machine at
last is beginning to show the results
Of a year Of preparation. Up to this
time the American forces have been
almost a negligible quantity from a
military standpoint, but that will not
be the case from now on.
How many American soldiers are
in France now?" is a question often
heard. No good American who knows
win discuss the matter. The Forum
doesn't know any more than the
average citizen about it, but from
statements that have been issued by
the war department. it would be a
safe estimate that America will have
1,000,00O men in France available for
the Allied armies by July /. That
estimate is based solely on Secretary
Bakers testimony before the senate
committee, and later announcements
regarding the speeding up" Of the
transport of troops.
This is the darkest hour for the
Allies. Germany must have known
Of this increased movement Of troops,
and of the growing menace Of Am
erica. That is why her present drive
is being pushed so relentlessly. II.
she cannot break through now, she
viii face certain defeat. The best
evidence Of the growing strength OF
America, is the wild fury Of the
attacks. and their continue
ance in the face of such terrible
losses. Every day that the Allies
hold their lines, improves the situa-
ton.
But meanwhile speed, speed,
speed" must be the watchword.

isms rolled into one.
And, likewise, IL IS a bond--a bond
Of faith, a bond OF honor. q bond OF
reliability, G. bond OF security, back
ed up by the government of the Uni
ted States Of America, it's assets, its
good name, its credits, its power,
and its possessions OF whatsoever
nature.
When we buy Liberty bonds we
are helping our country, helping as
righteous a cause as ever sent a ma
ton to battle, and at the same time
we are safeguarding our savings ana
earning a decent rate of interest on
our money. We can't lose, we are
bound to win.
Thieves may break in and moths
may corrupt, but q Liberty bond is
as solid as Plymouth Rock and as
honest as the Declaration Of indie
pendence.
As long az the Stars and Stripes
float the Liberty bond viii be aloft,
too. 1t is predicated on Bunker Hill;
on Independence Hall; on the little
apple tree at Appomattoxi on the.
cornerstone OF a building at Wash
ington, D. c., called the National
Capitol. A man who wouldn't be
satisfied with that collateral would
not risk a pewter dime for the hope
Of eternal salvation.
Don't wait for somebody else to
take your share of the best invest
ment that is spent to patriot. Our
great Revolutionary granddaddies
weren't that sort. Their motto wasn't
Let George do It." They helped
George do 1t!
Don't sell Uncle San. short. Don't
be a bear on the Old Glory market.
Don't make your own country
ashamed Of you. Buy a Liberty bond.

country who are now engaged in war

tivities. The imitation in prices

promises Of a hundred million people

The man or business concern that

Common sense and ordinary busi-

Paul Bolo, whose career has been
closed by the French government
was born in Marseilles. He studied
law but forsook that profession foE
occupations which were varied and
hazardous.
He was identified in several enter
prises which failed and then he drift
ed to Paris. where in 1894 he was
convicted Of abuse OF confidence and
swindling.
He later went to Valencia, Spain,
where he conducted q cafe which
was frequented by the French colony.
In 1903 he married a widow who had
an annual income Of 10, 600 francs and
at once enlarged his field OF activi-
ties, becoming an agent for cham
payne and other wines.
just before the world war broke
out in 1914. Bolo entered into a new
phase of work. which took him to
Egypt, where he met Ahbas Hilmi,
then the Khedive, for whom he be-

dives interests in the Sues canal and
I'm Egypt in the event that England
should repudiate Abbas Hilmi.
From the khedive. Bolo received
the title OF Pasha, which has been
linked with his name.
After the flight OF Abbas Hilmi to
Switzerland in 1915, .Bolo met him at
Zurich, in company with the German
foreign minister. and arrangement
was made to turn over to Bolo the
sum OF 10,O00,000 marks to be paid In
instsllments through the former
Khedive, for the purpose OF influence
ing the French press. or this sum
about 1000, 900 marks were paid
through Swiss banks.
During the summer of 1915, Bolo
bought The Paris Journal from Sen
ator Humbert, paying 100000
francs for the property. After the
initiation OF proceedings against Bolo.
the money he paid Senator Humbert
was refunded.
In February 1915. Bolo came to
America. The Beutsche Bank of
Berlin is said TO have turned over to
Bolo q sum of 100000 francs,
which was deposited in this country,
at least nine banks figuring in the
records of the case. Disclosures made
by the United States government
to his activities in this coun-
try are said to have brought about
his arrest.
Bolo was arrested Sept 20, 1917,
for receiving money from Germany
for use in peace paganda. After
his arrest there came sensational dis
closures Of his activities.
He was placed on trial Feb. Z, and
was convicted Feb. IL. and was
