German Dollars in New York.
(By Associated Press)

Paris, April 17.-Paul Bolo Pasha,
condemned traitor, lostentirely the at
titude of indifference which he main
tanned subsequent to and during his
trial, when standing before the firing
squad in the forest of Vincennes early
today. He crumpled up with several
bullets in his heart when the rifles
shot. His eyes were bandaged after
listening to an eXhortation from the
prison chaplain and he went before
the firing squad without a struggle.
When taken to the office to go
through the formalities prior to his
removal from prison for execution,
Bolo refused to sign the register. An
officer insisted. whereupon Bolo cried
in an authoritative tone:
"It is | who command here. No
one has anything more to impose up
on me l think"
The chaplain after the execution
found lying over Bolo's heart two en-
broidered handkerchiefs, which had
been pierced by bullets. One was given
to Bolo's brother and the other to his
widow.

YOU CANT KISS YOUR
WIFE IN RIVERSIDE,
NEW LAW IS PASSED

Riverside, Cal, April 17.-If you
want to spoon, don't come to River
side. It's better to take your chances
on the beach at Venice. The city coun-
ell today passed an ordinance making
it unlawful "to kiss, hug, embrace or
spoon on or near any public street,
park or publit building" If literal
ly interpreted, it will prohibit even
a soldiers sweetheart giving the GUS
tomary fond boodbye as he entrains.
The non-kissing clause appears as a
part of the drastic anti-vice ordinance
drawn to regulate conditions which
may arise from the location of the
government aviation school here.

Failure Sure

Washington, June 1.-THE Aus
trian drive on the Italian front al
ready shows marked signs of failure
in the opinion of officials here. The
advances achieved in the initial as
sault, necessarily the most power
full attack in any offensive, are so
limited as to indicate that the Aus
trians virtually have been halted
in their tracks.
Details received are meagre.
Nothing has come that will permit
officers 10 form conclusions as to
the strategic plan the Austrian
leaders are following. There are
indications, however, that the blow
was struck more in an effort to Off
set internal disturbance in Aus
Hungary than because a pre-
pared plan, which promised a real
military success, had been worked
out.
Reports of American military
observers with the Italian army
have been received recently, it was
learned today, rating the Italian
army as among the best equipped
and prepared of the allied forces.
The recuperation of the Italian
forces after its disastrous with
drawal before the Austro-German
attack last year has been remark
able.
Failure of the Austrians to get
their offensive in motion may fur
nish an opportunity for an Italian
counter movement on that front
which will result in a diversion on
the western front. Should events
show that the Austrians can be
held, it seems to observers here
that General Foch may decide to
strike his first counter blow there.
The German high command will be
compelled to met such a move, if
it gained any headway by with
drawing picked German divisions
from the western front to support
the Austrian line.
The staunch stand of the Italians
and their French and British asso-
ciates against the Austrians is
counted upon to greatly strengthen
the morale of the Italian army and
people.

Cabinet Head
and Aides of
Bulgaria Quit

Sofia. SUNDAY June 16.-(Via
Amsterdam. Premier Radoslav-
off has rendered the resignation of
the cabinet and King Ferdinand
had accepted it. The ministers
were requested by the king to re
tain their portfolios until a new
cabinet is formed.
The downfall Of Premier RADIO
slavoff most probably is due to the
feeling in Bulgaria that he did not
make the most of his opportunity
in the negotiations during which
peace was forced in Rumania and
Rumania was compelled to give up
the Dobrudja. Many Bulgarians
felt, it has been reported, that the
Dubrudja should have been ceded
outright TO Bulgaria. There also
has been some dissatisfaction over
whether the central powers would
back up Bulgaria's territorial gains.
