CAILLAUX MAY
 BE PRESIDENT
France Watching Its New Pre- mier With Interest Out
 of Ordinary
YOUNG AND VERY WEALTHY

PARIS. July 22.-Franoe is in. tensely interested in the personality and career of her prime minister. Joseph CaillauX, for among other things he is accredited with ambi- tions to the presidency when the present term of Fallieres expires. Mir Caillaux has great wealth. He is the son of a distinguished father. Eugene Caillaux, who had a prom. inent place in politics after the Franco-Prussian war and was like his son, minister of finance.
 Caillaux becomes premier at 4S. He is the personification of tireless activity and work In appearance he is clear-eyed and aggressive. There is French saying that the great orators of the country seem almost always to come from the south Caillaux is neither of the north or south, but like Baron d'Estournelles de Constant, was born in the Sarthe department in the west central dis trict.
 He is not an impassioned orator like the brilliant Briand, but he makes a strong business-like speech. Sometimes in the. heat of interested discussion he becomes passionate, condemnatory, but invariably returns to the calm business mans stand. point.
 The premier is a shrewd fnancier by heredity, training and experi. ence. He is a radical who believes in broad radical program of prog. ress- He is, for instance, the ar tisan of the income tax project which has been passed by the chamber of deputies but which is now held up in the senate. He believes in the pension for the workingmen and intends that this measure adopted by parliament shall be put into operation soon.
 In a few words. the new premier might be summed up as a fnancier- statesman and as a millionaire rad. ieal working for social reform.
 The Salon des Independents, which has just closed it's doors for 1911. has had a more complete success than ever before, and quite justified it's claim to the consideration of the art world.
 Started as a revolt against the conditions of official art" which ostraeized Whistler. Monet, Degas,
 Renoir, and the whole impressional school as well as such masters as Puyis de Chavannes from the regular Salons, the Salon des Independents has no jury. On paying the dues of S5, anyone is at liberty to exhibit on given wall space whatever he may choose, provided that the po- lice raise no objection on the plea | of decency or public order. At first the only exhibitors were ! members of that advanced Post ! Impressionist school which is headed ! by Matisse. whose edusions were ! grouped in one section popularly
 known as the wild beast show;
 worthy amateurs or semi-aniateurs ' whose technical qualifications were
 insufficient to obtain for them an
 entry to the other Salons, and q
 small section of Russian revolution.
 aries who communicated their widely
 symbolical dreams to canvas with | great conviction but little skill. Soon. ! however, the work of the few whose i dangerous originality or bad luck l had prevented them from obtaining
 place in other exhibitions began

 the discriminating under secretary | of state Of fine arts, who always

 astonishing fact became apparent ! that pictures were obtaining better ! prices than at the two conseerated ! Salons.
 1 Now it is almost as hard to get ! into the Independents as into the Old and New Salons, for many paint CTS of recognized worth and reputa- ' tion are throwing in their lot with the new organization and abandon ing the homes of official art" The march of municipal improve ment has cost Paris her celebrated
 home of roaring farce" The vast scheme of constructing new streets and extending others in the heart of Paris to relieve the conees- ton of traffic has led to the civic condemnation of the theatre Nou. yeautes located in the most trodden part of the Grande Boulevard
