The cfcrtge in the military situation

was a factor which rauat ba considered,
tha Premier said, and H was essential
that the whole strength of tha allied
army of Prance, Great Britain. America

f PARIS. Feb. II. All the evidence,
testimony and speeches by ltneses
In the case of Bolo 1'ajtha. who i on
trial for treason, and appsrently all the
other "affairs" now under Investiga
tion before the French court, had betn
concluded thta afternoon and tomor
row's sittlnr will open with arguments
of the prosecutor.
He will ask that the sentence of
death be Imposed upon Polo.
The trial was resumed today with
M. Doyen, an expert accountant, aeain
on the stand to refute charices inada by
Monsiicnor Bolo, brother of the defend
ant, that Doyen had dishonored himself
by falsifying a portion of his original
report on iiolo's activities.
The witness spoke wiih great re.oerve
and moderation, declaring merely that
he took exception "to the form in which
these criticisms were presented by a
who stranirely abuses tbe moral
authority conferred on him by the
elolh he wears."
Kxpert Aaawera rkalleaa-e.
M. Doyen then reiterated and ex
plained in detail the portion: of his
report which the priAoner's brother had
challenged.
After M. Doyen had testified. Mon-
Ignor Bolo again took the stand and
reiterated his attacka of yesterday.
especially on the authentlcily of th
telegrams of Count von Kernstorff,
former Oerman Ambasssdon to the
L'nlted States, duplicates of which he
instated should he produced rather than
to rely on American State Department
documents.
When the prosecutor repeated, as on
Monday, that the American tlovern
ment should not be questioned, the
priest created a aensatiou by asserting
passionately:
. "The American Government has not
the right to shoot my Innocent brother."
Maurice Villette, former Minister of
testified that the current
among parliamentary and
ministerial circles In August. 1317. was
that -no case would he found acainst
Bolo I'aaha, and that M. l'aloleve. then
Minister of War. had asserted that the
case did not warrant an arrest.
The last witnesses of the day re
counted the good deeds of Bolo Pa.sha
and Darius Forchere, "an . accountant.
whi Is a co-defendant with Bolo. and
also told of the personal feuds between
the newspaper men for and against
Senator Charles Humbert, former own
er of the Paris Journal.
One character witness for Polo. M.
Delanele. said he was surprised that
the Government had charged Bolo
with being a friend of Abbus Hilrni.
former Khedive of Kgypt, who. ft has
been charged, eent money to Bolo for
use In carrying on German propaganda.
"Why,- said Delan-'le, "President
Wilson ha. not yet said he was an
enemy of Turkey."
C.art Bars Dseaaaeats.
When M. Vlollette. In testifying, re
ferred to two documents sent in Au
gust and September, Id 7. by Prosecu
tor Mornet to Minister of War Pain-
leve, M. fall's, on behalf of Bolo
Pasha, demanded that the documents
be submitted to the defense. Tins was
refused by the court and il. Mornet.
Salles then requested of General Imi
hall, military of Paris, permission for
the documents to be added to the
docket. This request also was refused.
M. Vlollette said that Minister of
War Palnleve had Informed the coun
ell of II Investigating the question of
lifting tha parliamentary Immunity of
Former Premier Callleuiix' testimony
In connection with the case, that until
additional evidence was obtained from
America Bolo would not be arrested.
To this atat.ment Mornet replied:
"We readily admit that had America
remained neutral we could not have
got to the bottom of this case and
other cases and that Bolo today would
be walking the streets free."
In the opinion of prominent lawvers
present at the trial, the refusal to turn
over te two documents sent by Prose
cutor Mornet to M. Painleve may prove
a good argument for an-appeal to the
Court of Caseation if liolo is con
victed. ,

to his pro-German sympathies lie was

deavorlng to have the Government
abandon Its plan of riving spruce in
forests of Clatsop County and banging
the bolts out with motor truck.
One of the Commissioners explained
the situation at the meeting of the com
mission today. He said: "The system of
riving spruce is not practicable. Only
one tree out of ten la fit for riving and
it is nothing less than a crime to split
logs for only a portion of the timber
to remain and rot In the woods.
"Loggers and those with experience
In marketing timber are unanimous In
the opinion that the Government should
build railroads into the woods and
bring out not only the spruce, but the
yellow fir timber as well, all of it at
one operation. If the Government does
not care to go to this expense, private
ownership will be willing to take the
responsibility If the Government will
aid them financially." .

VNTVERSITT OF OREGON, Eugene,
Feb. 12. iSpeclal.) Oregon may not
accept the reserve officers' training
corps rating for which It made applica
tion to the War Department and which
can be had whenever the university de
cides to take it. sr-cordlng to word
brought back from Washington by
President Carapbe. who returned Sun
day evening.
The acceptance of the rating depends
altogether upon whether or not the
training corps can be established here
and Lieutenant-Colonel John Leader,
commandant of the university battalion
and head of tbe department of military
science, retained tn command.
.rnder-the provisions of the National
defense act, by which the training corps
is provided for, the rating can be given
only to those schools which have an
officer In the Cnlted States Army of at
least five years' standing at the head of
the military department. The unlver
slty does not want to lose the services
of Colonel Leadtr, whose 23 years of
active service in the British army, two
years of which were spent on the west

especially qualified for the training of
young officers, however, and has under
consideration another plan by which
the work can be carried on as effect
ively without the loss of Colonel Lead

enable the cadets to receive full equip

LONDON. Feb. 12. Members of both
houses of Parliament assembled early

sion of the longest Parliament in mod
ern times.
King George, accompanied by the
Queen and the Prince of Wales, who is
on leave from the Italian front, per
formed the opening ceremony at noon
In the absence of some of the customary
spectacular features.
A number of American soldiers and
sailors saw the royal procession. One
group of naval men attracted His
Majesty's attention by their hearty
cheering and the King acknowledged
the compliment.
Walter Hines Page, the American
Ambassador, was present in the House
of Lords and a number of American
eorresponclents and visitors occupied
seats In the galleries., '
In his speech at the opening of Par
liament today King George said the
struggle had reached a critical stage,
which demanded more than ever the
full use ot the country's energies and
resources.
Doty of Britons Plain.
Until recognition is offered of the
only principles up'on which an honor
able peace can be concluded,' the King
declared, it is the duty of the British
to prosecute the war with all the vigor
they possess.
Following. is the King's speech:
"My Lords and Gentlemen The ne
cessities of war render it Imperative
for me, after but a brief Interval, to
summon you again to your deliberations.
"The" alms for which I and my allies
are contending were recently set forth
by my government in a statement which
received the emphatic approval of my
peoples throughout the empire, and
provided a fair basis for settlement of
the present struggle and re-establishment
of national rights and interna
tional peace In the future.
Teuton Government Obdnrate.
"The German government has, how
ever. Ignored our Just demands that it
should make restitution for the wrongs
it has committed and furnish guaran
tees atralnst their unprovoked repeti
tion. Its spokesmen refuse any obli
gations for themselves, while denying
rightful liberties of others.
"Until a recognition is offered of the
only principles on which an honorable
peace can be conciuaea. it is our auiy
to prosecute the war with all the vigor
we possess.
"I have full confidence that my
forces In the field. In close co-operation
with those of my faithful allies,
will continue to display the same heroic
courage and my people at nome tne
same unselfish devotion that have al
ready frustrated so many of the ene
my's designs and will ensure the ulti
mate triumph of the righteous cause.
'War Cabinet to. Meet.
"I have summoned representatives of
my dominions and my Indian Empire
to a further session of the Imperial
war cabinet In order that I may again
receive their advice on questions of
moment affecting the common Interest
of the euipire.
"Gentlemen of the House of Com
mons, you will be asked to make suit
able provisions for the requirements of
the combatant services and for the
stability of our national finance.
"My Lords and gentlemen, the strug
gle In which we are engaged has
reached a critical stage, which de
mands more than ever our united ener

TRUEST and most Idealistic rever
ence of those who pass from our
earthly life cannot conceive of a more
devout expression of sentiment than
disposition of the earthly house . of
flesh by Cremation.
People fear tbe desolation of a neg
lected grave. . Th e beauties of th
Columbarium, where the ashes of the
departed remain, will ever be Just as
they are today. Our civilization almost
demands, because of economic and
practical reasons, the general adoption
of Cremation.
