BOL0 REALIZES FATE
VIII Go to Vinceimes But Not Alone,
He Declares-Gains Respite BY
Revelations of TreaChery.

Paris, April 11.-BolO Pasha, con-
demned to death for treason but
granted q reprieve of indefinite dura-
1ion on his plea that he had import
ant revelations to make to the mill
tary judicial auth critics, entertains
no doubt AS to what his ultimate fate
will be, according to the Petit Jour
nal today. 1t quotes him as saying to
his keeper on Monday:
''I will go to Vincennes but others
will surely follow ct is at VIM
cenues that French military execu-
tions take piace.)
Bolo is continuing his revelations
but the utmost silence is preserved in
official circles as to their trend. He
will be heard again today which is
expected to conclude the hearings.
The La Vicyore does not take the
view that the prisoners execution IS
imminent Whatever importance may
be attached to his eleventh-hour con-
fession. it says, one result is certain,
which is that several days will elapse
before his execution, as the things he
reveals will have to be investigated or
corroborated or disproved and the
wilv BOlo has doubtless gained an in

II. s. ESTABLISHES NAVAL
BASE ON AZORES ISLANDS
Will Form Station for Sub
marines and Destroyers
and Homing Point for
American Airplanes.

Washington, April 11.-For the
protection of the Atlantic trade routes
to southern Europe, the United States
with consent of Portugal has estab-
lished a naval base on the Azores
Islands.
Guns have been landed to begin
fertilization of the station, which in
addition to being used as a naval base
for American submarines, destroyers
and other small craft, also will serve
as an important homing station for
American airplanes, a number OF
which already has been assembled
there.
Negotiations now are in progress
between the state department and the
Portuguese government to insure full
cooperation between American naval
forces and the local authorities Of
Portugal on the islands for the ade-
quate defense of the station. This
action will simplify the task of pro-
tecting the great trade routes not only
to southern Europe and the NIediter-
ranean but also returning traffic to
South America and south gulf ports
in the United States.
The Azores, a constituent part of
Portugal, lie in the Atlantic, about
750 miles west of Gibraltar and 1,40O
miles east Of New York. Many of the
islands are uninhaDitated and since
the German unrestricted warfare be-
gan there have been several reports
that one Of the islands had been used
as a submarine base by the Germans.
Numbers of vessels have been sunk
by the Germans in the vicinity of the
Azores.
Value of the new station as a base
for the replenishment of supplies for
American submarines, submarine G
chasers and destroyers on the voyage
to Europe has already been demon
strated It is permissible to disclose
these facts now because it is known
to the government that they are
known in Germany.
