LABOR 1 ON
IN HUNT FIASCO
RELINQUISH
TERRITORY
LONDON, April 17. After gaining
a footing today In the villages of
Mileren and Wytschaete the British
were forced to make a second retire
ment, according to Field Marshal
Halg's report from France tonight
French troops, It Is add -d, have now
reinforced the British lines.
The most disturbing news has been
a report from Herlln that Poelcapelle
and Langemarck, north of Ypres,
have been token by the Germans and
the admission from London that the
Hritlsh have retired from certain part
of their lines In the Ypres salient.
The retirritnent here was expected,
for the advance of the Germans at
Neuve Egllse and Ilallleul left the
position In front of Ypres open to a
flank attack. It Is officially stated
that the retirement was orderly, and
It Is probable that It will have more
of a sentimental than a strategic
effect.
The battle, now In Its ninth day,
has deepened In Intensity at many
points along the curved front from
Messnes ridge to MeU-ren.
On all of tho rest of the front from
Messlnes ridge south westward tha
Germans have . Hung themselves
against the granite wall of tin Hritlsh
defense. Official and semi-official
dispatches have told of the frightful
losses Inflicted on the attacking
masses of troops by the Hritlsh rifle
and machine gun fire.
Out of the chaos of the tremendous
battle along the Lys River, south and
southwest of Ypres, the thunder of
which may bo heard 40 or 60 miles
away, there have come during tha
past day reports which are encour
aging to the allied powers.
The Hritlsh not only have held all
the ground which they were defend
ing on Tuesday, hut have struck back
so powerfully that Metsren and part
of Wytschaete were retaken and held
for a time. Only after haavy attacks
did the British retire again from the
villages.
Thomas Heidi, ths German spy sus
pect arrested by Sheriff Wilson Sun
day, was takon to Portland Tuesday
afternoon and turned over to U. S.
authorities. He will probaby ba In
terned at once, on the federal charge
of possessing Ore arms without a
llcensa.
The day's development may result
In more serious charges being per
ferrad against Reldl, and he will be
given a most rigid examination In
Portland In an effort to learn of his
activities as a female Impersonator
during the past several months. A
complete Indies' outfit of wearing ap
parel was found In his belongings, In
cluding a wig. Such a man Is wanted
by federal authorities.
Even more stratllng were the things
found among Heidi's personal effects
by officers. Pinned to the Inside pock
et of his coat was a government em
ployee button, evidently In use for
employees at some aviation field. The
words "authorized by the Secretary
of War" are printed on the bottom of
the badge, and this Reldle claims he
found. Resides a loaded revolver, the
officers found a signal pocket flash
light, with red, green and ordinary
light attachements. Several maps were
In his possession, and considerable
German correspondence, all of which
was turned over to the government
authorities by Sheriff Wilson. Special
Assistant Lntonrette and District At.
tomey Hedges, who took Reldle be
fore U. S. Attorney Haney Tuesday
afternoon.
Part of Roldla's outfit of female
wearing apparel was purchased from
a local store and was Identified by the
merchant Tuesday. Reldle donned his
famnle garb at tho request of the of
ficials Tuesday, and he could easily
pass as a woman, the officials de
clare. Reldle first told the officials he had
never had any military training, but
pictures found among his effects
showed him in the uniform of a Ger
man soldier. The photos were taken
prior to his departure for America in
1912. .
Another photograph shows him
with a party of five well dressed Ger
mans, taken on the boat, evidently
enronte to America.
He has steadfastly refused to give
any explanation of the female garb
In his possession, and has maintained
an altogether indifferent .... attitude
since his confinement In the local jail.
Two boxes of crayons, suitable for
sketching, were also found among his
effects, and two cigar boxes full of
soap which he has evidently picked
up at hotels where he has stopped.
SCHOOL OFCITV
The course in German at the Ore
gon City high School was Monday
eliminated from: the curriculum by
the school board. The action was
taken with little discussion and by a
unanimous vote of the directors. The
action taken is In line with what Is
being done by school authorities In
every section of the country. Students
who have been registered for this
course will be given their credits for
a full year'a work.
i
Early Improvement of the Pacific
Highway betweca Oregon City and
Portland on the West side of the Wil
lamettc river Is 'demanded In a reso
lution adopted by the Live Wires of
the Commercial Club here Tuesday.
In support of the resolution, It was
argued that at the lust budget meet
ing, the county court had been in
structed to expesd a certain portion
of the money reserved for state aid on
the West side highway, and that the
court had intimated that this money
would not be used until next Fall. B.
T. McBaln, who presented the resolu
tion, urged that the road be improv
ed Immediately and be placed In con
dition for traffic. The resolution foL
lows:
"Wh areas, the County Court has
been made custodian of all road funds
for the expenditure of the various
cities of the county, and
Whereas, ths road on the West side
of the Willamette between Oregon
City suspension bridge and the Mul
tnomah County line Is a disgrace to
Clac kamas County, being so badly out
of repair In some places as to be al
most Impassible, Now, Therefore, be
It .
"Resolved that Jhj County Court of
Clackamas Cobniy.be and It Is here
by petitioned to take such immediate
steps as will cause the Immediate re
building of worst sections and repairs
of the entire road, commenrlng Im
mediately on both ends of the csment
street In the City of Oswego, and con
tinuing without delay in both direc
tions until the entire road has been
gone over nnd prepared for the hard
surface the State Highway Commis
sion has promised In 1919, and be It
further
"Resolved, that copies of these reso.
lutlons be forwarded to the County
Court, the City Council of West Linn
and Oswego, tha State Highway Com
mission nnd to the press of the
County Seat." "

SUPREME COURT RULE
Y
I
The final decree, enjoining the City
of Oswego from expending part of
the municipal tax of Oswego upon
Front Street, a county road, was en
tered Tuesday In the circuit court,
following the affirmance of Judge
Campbell's decision by the Supreme
court some time ago. The case was
brought by Julia Cooper, and Oswego
taxpayer, against the town of Oswe
go and tho court's decision was In fav
or of the plaintiff.
Judge Campbell enjoined the de
fendants, the city council of Oswego,
and D. B. Fox, the present mayor sub
stituted for the late Mayor A. King
Yllson, from expending any portion of
the municipal tax raised by levy on
proptrey within the city limits of Os
wego, along Front Street, which Is
a county road, and permanently en
joins the council from entering into
any contract for tha improvement of
the road with any municipal tax funds.
The suit was brought by the plain
tiff as a protest to the Improvement
of Front Street in Oswego, by the
city council. An ordinance was passed
ordering the work done, and a por
tion of the job was under way when
Mrs. Cooper's suit brought a stop to
the proceedings.

,.PAf Isv.V1l . 17. Standing before
a firing squad in the forest of Vincen
nes early today, Paul Bolo Pasha, con
demned traitor, lost entirely the attl
tudo of indifference he had maintain
ed subsequent to and during his trial.
When the order to fire was given, the
rlReg spoke and Bolo crumpled up
with several bullets In his heart.
Escorted by several guards, Bolo
left the Sante prison 45 minutes be
fore his execution. After leaving the
automobile at Vincennes, he listened
to the exhortation of a prison chap
lian. Then his eyes were bandaged
and ha went without a struggle to his
place before the firing squad.
"So much the better; I am delight,
ed," Bolo exclaimed when awakened
this morning by Commandant Julien,
of the third court martial, who told
him that the hour of expiation had ar
rived. These wsre the only words
spoken by Bolo except for Instruc
tions to the chaplain to taka from his
body a silk lace handkerchief which
he placed on his chest, and give it to
his brother, Monsignor Bolo.
The condemned man went to his
execution in a new suit of clothes
brought to the prison by his brother,
and wearing white gloves.
Before setting forth from the
prison, Bolo asked to be permitted to
partake of communion.
After the execution, the form of an
interment at Vincennes was gone
through and then the body was turn
ed over to Bolo's family.
When Bolo was taken to the of fie 3
to go through the formalities of his
removal from prison for the execu
tion, he refused to sign the register.
Tht officer Insisttd, upon which Bolo
cried in an authoratlve tone: "It is
I who command here; no one has any
thing more to Impose upon me, I
think."
The chaplain, after the execution,
found lying over Bolo's heart two em
broidered handkerchiefs which had
been pierced by tb.9 bullets. One was
given to Bolo's brother and the other
to his widow.

8ALEM, Or, April 11. (Special)
Governor Wlthycombe in filing IBs
formal declaration ; of his candidacy
for re-election with no platform at
tached and only the slogan, "Present
Governor. Candidate for second term,"
rests his candidacy upon, his record
and will go before the people largely
on war Issues and as a war Governor,
his closest friends state.
The Governor, in his announcement
some time since, largely outlined the
Issues of his campaign and his friends
thought it unnecessary to supplement
these statements with the filing of
any formal platform In connection
with his declaration.
The executive has taken an ex
tremely active part In furthering war
Issues since the conflict started.
With the nuceles of a military or
ganization from the units returned
from patrol service on the. Mexican
border as commander-in-chief of the
forces he had indirect charge of build
ing up the enlisted fighting forces
now in France and upon his office
was placed the burden of handling
the onerous details in connection with
the working out of the first draft.
Working with Adjutant General
White, now in France, the draft was
pnt through without a hitch and the
quota, from this state sant along on
its journey. Registration was ac
complished speedily and the machin
ery placed in order for handling new
quotas of drafted men as the call
comes In.
The Governor has also been active
In suppressing I. W. W. Ism, shooting
out detachments of troops as they
have been needed to quell threatened
trouble in various sections of the
state and he also took a promlnetn part
In handling the strike situation which
developed In the Clackamas county
papar mills and threatened serious
difficulties there.
It also fell to him to organize and
direct the policy of the State Council
of Defense, various advisory, boards
and other boards In connection with
war work and he also has been res
ponsible for gathering together the
Emergency Board on more than one
occasion to take care of financing
Oregon's end of the war work.
The new state military police comes
under his supervision and he called
the Emergency Board together for
the purpose of securing funds to fi
nance that organization.
His friends point to these various
war activities as among the' reasons
they feel their candidate should be
returned to office for a second term
and it is considered likely that much
of the campaign waged for his re
election will be along the line of his
war policies.
