So the pastor turned barber and

THREATOFGERMANI
WEST FRONTDRIVE|
MA Y BE A FEINTI

That Germany Intends a major Of
fensIye against the Balkans and
Italy, rather than an immediate drive
on the west front, is a growing view
in entente military quarters here.
The net result OF the prolonged
troop movements OF the Teutons on
the west front was said in reliable
sources TO be merely the replacement
of tired. short divisions by full. fresh
ones. with an appreciable numerical
strengthening at one point only.
Germany's constant advertising OF
her moves and her plans for a big
west front offensive have made mill
tary men skeptical OF her real pur-
poses. She has never before let the
world into her confidence" as to
plans, so the thought that many
troops taken from the west and east
lines have been shunted for a Balkan
Italian drive gets fresh strength.
Moreover. advertisement OF a west
front offensive would have the effect
of making the allies prepare for a de-
fensive warfare, and to that extent
delay any allied plans for an often
sive there.
Fear Swiss Invasion.
While the 1talian-Balkan drive is
talked, there is also belief here that
the Germans may plan a smash
through Switzerland. American mill
taTy advices throw no light on
either problem.
Military men are not Disgusting
their apprehension over an Italian or
Balkan drive. While II is admitted
that the allies in Italy are better pre-
pared to stem the Teuton offensive
than they were at the close of hos
tilities last winter, IL is also con-
coded that the Austro- German arm
les in the AsiaGo and Upper Piave
sectors are in better shape TO con-
tinue their advance. Winter alone
was primarily responsible for the
cessation OF Won Mackensen's smash
ing progress.
The Italian situation il critical.
The consequences OF German occupR-
tion Of Northern Italy cannot be esti-
mated at present. I.ombardy in Ger
man hands might mean Italy's elm
nation.
Italy in bad shape.
From the most reliable sources It is
learned that aside from the military
situation, Italy is facing a crisis. The
food shortage is acute and Italian
morale is far from certain.
Germany's frst and greatest effort
will be to take Venice, military men
believe. once Venice falls, the Teu-
ton problem is virtually solved.
Troops and supplies in unlimited
and amounts can be trans
ported across the Adriatic from
Trieste and Pola through lane pro-
tected by mines and submarines
thereby eliminating the uncertain and
task OF maintaining a line

BOLO CONVICTED;
CALM WHEN DEATH
SENTENCE IS READ

| PARIS, Feb. 15.-Bolo Pasha, con-
victed OF high treason, has been given
the death sentence. An appeal or
technicalIties will be taken.
Bolo's operations in the interest Of
Germany have extended to nearly
every nation involved in the war. He
has manipulated millions while carry
ing on German propaganda, and dur
ing the past two years has involved
leading flnanciers and publishers In
the United States, Italy, England,
Spain, Switzerland, France, and
Egypt.
At the conclusion OF the trial yes
terday before a court-martial, the
German embassy at Washington was
characterized "a mandatory OF per.
Juries," with Count Won BernStorff,
former ambassador, as general mana
ger. and Count Won Pavenstedt as his
assistant. The latter is now interned
in the United States.
The files IN the case against Bolo
contain more than 1000 separate docu-
ments. some of them containing more
than 400 pages each.
When Bolo's sentence was pro-
nounced the alleged traitor merely
shook his head and shrugged his
shoulders. He made no comment as
he returned to his cell.
Bolo was specifically charged with
having capitalized the company tina.
bought the Paris newspaper lie Jour
nal with money obtained from the
Germans He is also said to have
been provided with Sl,500.00O with
which to corrupt the French press.
Another 81. 100000 was to be used In
personal propaganda. or this tota!
sum, S1.6s3,000 Is alleged to have
been transferred from the Deutsche
Bank, in Berlin, TO Paris, via New
York. Discovery of this manipulation
by New York State authorities led to
BOlo's arrest in Paris.

SEVENTY CASES GO
 ID ADVISORY BOARD

About 70 of the 235 men physically examined by the local board Monday and Tuesday nights were sent to the medical advisory board for more thor ough tests, including those Of the X-Ray. Martin T. Weyant, secretary of the local board. announced yester- day. Reports on these cases as well as the cases that went only to the local board medical staff, will not be received or ready to be made known for several days.
 Some men called for physical ex- aminations have not appeared" said MT. Weyant T am afraid these boys are going to get in trouble if they do not report to the board at once, and even then they will have to bring a good excuse why they did not appear Monday or Tuesday nights. as ordered in the notices mailed them last week. The question arises always whether or not registrants received their mo- tices through the mail. I do not be- lieve these boys have wilfully neglect ed to appear, although that may prove to be the case. At any rate consider able publicity has been given these ex- ainations, and therefore there is really no excuse for them not reporting.

DRAFT DODGERS NOW LODGED IN JAIL IN
 CITY IN THIS STATE

Draft dodgers, especially those who leave the United States for foreign countries in order to avoid military service are going to find life much more disagreeabfe than if they had gone into the army, for Department of Justice officials are hot on their 1 trail, and will leave nothing undone i to bring back the slackers and put them where they belong
 | A recent case, showing how futile | it is to attempt to escape military ser vice in this way was related at the office of the United States attorney in Phoenix yesterday. A young man it was stated, left his home in Kansas the day before registration time and went to Canada. He was located some where in the Dominion, but managed | to make a getaway, coming back to his native country. and being trailed through numerous states until he was finally located in city in Arizona, where he is now incarcerated.
 In this connection the United States attorney here yesterday received a communication from the Department of Justice in Washington, calling at tention to this class of draft dodgers, and stating that in every case where the facts warrant such action, indict- ments should be returned, whether or not there is any immediate likelihood of the defendant being apprehended.
 It was requested that widest publici- ty be given this contemplated action of the department, and the United States attorney here desires that all persons having information concerning cases of this character transmit same to his office. Such information will be very much appreciated by the author ities.
 The communication received here yesterday reads as follows:
 ITO All United States Attorneys:
 From various sources this depart ment receives from time to time in formation showing the residence ir foreign countries of citizens of the United States who have escaped tc these countries in order to evade mil itary service, and doubtless cases of this kind have come to your attention
 Tt is the desire of the department that indictments should be returned ir every case of this character where the facts in your opinion are sufficient tc support an indictment. Such indict- ments should be returned regardless of the fact that there is no immediate probability of apprehending the de- fendant.
 Tn all cases of this type coming tc the attention of the Department in. formation will be forwarded to th' special agent in charge of the particu lar locality, with the request that h' , make full investigation and report hl! conclusion directly to you. In man, cases the Department will be able t furnish you with additional informa tion in the form of intercepted letter' and other documentary proof. .estab fishing the fact of foreign residence
 This contemplated action of tn Department should receive your con scientious attention and be given tn widest publicity in the press of you ! district.
