SEVERAL FALL
FOR WILES OF
BOLO PASHA
-
PARIS, Oct. 26.—Since the arrest here of Bolo Pasha
as the German spy who handled a $2,500,000 fund from
the German government, several newspaper correspond
; ents for a string of.American papers are said to be uneasy.
Some of them are said to have been boon companions
' of Bolo and one of them accompanied him on his trip to
: America. One newspaper, the Petit Blue, has printed
^ three columns of names of firms in Paris suspected of
I enemy affiliations.
,i A warrant is out for Gaston Routier, a French citi
\ zen, who founded the pacific newspaper Paix at Madrid
' with funds supposed to have been furnished by Bolo Pa
sha. Its pro-German tone so aroused the French colony
that Routier said he would cease publication.
Senator Charles Humbert, owner of the Journal,
announces that he has cancelled his contract with Bolo
! and refunded the $1,000,000 paid by Bolo for an interest
1 in his newspaper. Learning afterwards a judicial inquiry
' had begun about Bolo Pasha, the Senator said he offered
I to return the money, but Bolo Pasha refused to accept it.
NICKNAME FOR
SIGNAL CORPS
BOYS CHANGED
—
BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
j FRANCE, Oct. 9. (By Mail)). — The
nickname “Flagwaggers,” by which
men of the signal corps are still known
| to civilians, has long since been dis
j carded in the army, which has substi
j tutcd the title of “Buzzers.”
In the picturesque days of yore the
I signaller did choose some lofty emin
ence, and there wiggled out his mes
sages with a flag or whirled out his
! aching arms through the graceful
| movement of semaphore, but those
; days are no more. The close proxim
ity of the German and the accuracy
j of the snipers have made opportune;
ties for these methods as rare as,
week-end leave, and the signaller now j
has his dwelling underground and
works in the dark after the fashion
of the mole.
The signaller also has his “beat,”:
I like a metropolitan policeman. He
must make periodical tours of inspec
tion of the complex of wires under
his jurisdiction, watching to see that
nothing goes wrong with his slender
lines of communication. In the
trenches the wires run along the sides
of the trench about twelve inches from
the bottom, just above high water
mark, at which height they are com
paratively safe from being dragged
out of place by the diverse equipment
that hangs around the infantry soldier
like toys on a Christmas tree.
The number of wires that grow up
in an ordinary trench in the course of
a few weeks is amazing. “There are
I only nine here at present,” remarked
a signal corps officer apologetically, i
“but this is a new trench; wait until
the gunners open up a few observation
posts—the place will look like a hen
run then.”
The nine wires led after various de
tours to the “battalion headquarters
signal office.” This proved to be a
roomy dugout with wires entering it
from every direction. A small flag
! hung over the doorway.
The whole place is alive and busi
i ness-like. Here a clerk is receiving
1 messages for transmission; there an
other is dispatching incoming mes
sages to their addresses by runner; in
one corner a private is entering up the
signal register; in another a second is
I making notes in the office “log.”
Along the far end runs a rough
table with a row of men seated on a
bench before it, while a droning sound
like the humming of bees fdls the air
around. This is where the field tele
phone has its quarters—that famous
little instrument on which, according
to popular humorists, the gilded staff
call up in the middle of a bombard
ment to inquire how many jars of
raspberry jam have been issued to a
unit, or to demand a count of the Bap
tists in “A" company, just as the third
wave is going over the top.

WAR FACTS
GIVEN IN
FIGURES
The enormity ol the losses caused;
in war is well illustrated in excerpts;
taken from the Congressional Record.1
On October 4th there was a sharp do- >
bate in the United States Senate anent!
the measure to provide revenue to de
fray war expenses,” particularly re
garding pension for soldiers and sail-j
ors. It was during this discussion
that losses of the British only were i
mentioned. Senator Smoot, of Utah,
was the speaker and he submitted the i
following telegraphic report:
British casualties reported during
the month of September total 104,598,1
divided as follows:
Oflicers killed or died of wounds,
G3(>; men, 18,302.
Oflicers wounded or missing, 2,151;
men, 83,509.
Then coming down to a closer date,
read the following:
The British casualties reported for
the week ending today, Oct. 2, num
bered 21,179, divided as follows:
Killed or died of wounds, oflicers,
151; men, 373.
Wounded or missing, oflicers, 571;
men, 10,724.
These two telegraphic reports all
are familiar with because they were|
in the press dispatches of those dates.
But now the United States is discuss
ing sending a million men to France
or perhaps a great majorty of them
arc already there. There are hundreds
of thousands of men now in the vari
ous cantonments but they are only a
drop in the great war bucket. Sena

tion, made the following statement,
which shows how many men were
utilized on one front, in only one bat
tle, of the many fought:
“I heard a Canadian officer make
the statement that in driving the Ger
man forces four miles during the Hat
tie of the Somme there were 1)75,000
men put out of commission—500,000
and a little over of British men and
four hundred and some odd thousand
of French men. He told me that he
was in the battle from the day it start
ed until the drive of the four miles
was completed. We have no child’s
play before us in defeating Germany,
and I am not discussing the question
as to the percentage of our soldiers
that will be killed. All that I am do
ing is to call attention to the fact that
in passing this legislation we want to
do it with our eyes open. I am ready
to support the allowances and compen
sations, provided and, if necessary
provide even greater amounts, because
no Senator believes more strongly
than I do that the Government of the
United States ought to take care of
its soldiers and their families.
“Now, Mr. President, suppose it
does cost billions of dollars—and the
passage of this- bill will cost the Gov
ernment of the United States billions
of dollars—we ought to see that the
provisions of the bill arc such that
there will be no discriminations be
tween soldiers and officers, rich and
poor, and the money appropriated
used to the best advantage. All ought
to stand upon the same footing. If
the compensation to the families or
relatives provided in this bill in case
of death is paid to but 200,000
families, and that the everage
monthly compensation in case of death
be $50 per month, we can understand
what this part of the bill will cost.
The bill provides a maximum compen
sation for death of a soldier of $50 per
month; and that would amount to $600
each per year, or a total of $120,000,
000 per annum. If there are 300,000
soldiers wounded during the whole of
the war, their average compensation
under the bill no doubt will be $55 per
month. The Senators will notice that
there is $5 difference between the com
! pensation for death and the compen
sation for disability. That would be
| $660 per annum. For 300,000 soldiers
! the amount would be $318,000,000, or
a total under the compensation article
of $438,000,000 per annum.”
