(ASSOCIATED PRESS) Paul Bolo Pasha must facc tho firing squad. The first man of the coterie of French and other propagandists favorable to Gler mijny, who by their machinations sought to disrupt the soldiers and populace of Prance and bring about a separate peace between the republic and the Teutonic al lies, has been sentenced to death by a French court martial. Through lavish expenditure of (»ei man money, Bolo aided in a conspiracy, which in some instanc es-met with success, to corrupt leaders and to subsidize the French, press into expression of the idea that Germany was invinc ible at arms and that France should take time by the forelock and cease her military activities against her enemies in order to save herself from ultimate van quishment. Extended to United States The tenaclos of the conspiracy reached even to the United States.

"Do you think," he asked "the fath ers and mothers whose sons are mak ing this sacrifice will sit patiently by and permit this paralyzing of the life line between us and the western front?" "You will be well advised," Mr. Hur ley added, "to follow the methods of well managed and patriotic labor or ganizations, at least until you have tested whether or not your govern ment for which as shipbuilders yon are HOAV working can be fair."

I am sure you believe with me that those whose sons are now giv ing their blood that you and I and our children may be safe and free will not long permit either you or me to invite destruction of heroic lives and disaster to a great world cause." Strikes at Atlantic Yards. The telegram was inspired by re ports of strikes at yards in the vicinity of New York and at Baltimore, where the men are demanding the wage scale recently granted for the Pacific coast of $6.60 a day.
