cAIELAUX TRIAL PRESENTS THE
BATTLE OF TWO WOMEN ..


Paris, July pa silent battle be-
tween two women-one fighting with
the last ounce of her strength against
conviction on charge of murder, the
other charged with being indirectly
responsible for disclosures which led
to the killing-was presented today
during the trial of Nine. Caillaux.
Swinging far from the actual
charge that Nine. CaillauX murdered
CASTOR Calmette, editor of LIE Figaro,
the trial today developed into series
of tests of the veracity of the state
ments of Nine. Gueydan, divorced
wife of CaillauX, that she had nothing
to do with the famous ton Jo'' let
ter printed by the editor. Nine. Guey-
dan was called to the stand and the
battle between the president and
former wife of the ex-premier was on.
Between exchanges of angry
flashes between the two women they
played for the sympathy of the crowd
ed courtroom, the judges and the jury.
Nine. Gueydan told of her mar
riage to Caillaux and their divorce,
looking significantly at Nine. Call

MAN ADMITS HE COMMITTED
PERJURY IN MURDER CASE


Following the investigation by At
torney Charles Erbstein on behalf of
his client, Charles Simmons of 1906
w. 18th ST., Benjamin Levy of 1142
S. Mozart st., who was the states
principal witness in the murder case
against Simmons, admitted that he
had committed perjury.
Erbstein brought Levy into the
court of Judge Kersten, where he
forced him to admit that testimony
given in the trial, which resulted in
Simmons being convicted of murder
two months ago, was false. Levy
was an eyewitness to the shooting
of Heine Jacobs of 1903 w. 18th st.
At the murder trial he testified that
Simmons shot down Jacobs without
provocation, while he now says that
he fired in self-defense after warning
Jacobs to let him alone.
The investigation will be continued
today when Mrs. Levy will take the
stand.

Vera Cruz Added New Page to the Bright Battle Records
of the Fighting Marine Corps, Who Are Trained
for Every Duty They May Encounter in War

Z IERA CRUZ-another name to be
" added to the battle records Of the
v Marine Corps.
Once more these splendid "web-
foot soldiers" have shown the stuff Of
which they are made. Again they have
taken the forefront of the fighting:
have faced the fire Of foe; have made
their sacrifice of life and blood; and also
have shown that steadiness and fine
courage which have marked them al
ways and have so well justified the
corps motto, "Semper Fidelis"
The marines at Vera Cruz were tread

fellows Of sixty odd years ago. but to-

period. our sea soldiers now are a
vastly different body OF men-not in
purpose nor in spirit, but In equipment,
In preparation and in the physical quail
ties that make for a better and q more

For a number Of years the navy has
been carrying out from season to sea-
son eXpeditionary manPuvres which
have taken the marines into the warm
waters Of the West Indies and to the
semi-tropical shores OF the west coast
Of this continent. The public has had
but little, II any. knowledge Of the char
acter Of these drills, and yet the train
ing has we'll nigh revolutionized the all
round fitness of these ever ready fight

His are not days Of ease, but days OF

know 1t, but the ranks Of the marines
are recruited from only the very cream
OF the youth OF the country which Of
fers itself for enlistment. Hundreds,
yes, thousands. OF disappointed men can
bear witness to this.
Only the other day a recruiting sta
tian in New York city accepted two APP
plcants out Of some scores. the favored
two out Of the entire lot measuring
up to the exacting requirements OF the
Marine Corps. This seemed to the re-
cruiting officer like a possible dscour-
agement to others and he wired to head
quarters for q shading Of the severe
demands. The answer he got was typi-
cal. THE recruiting requirements must
be maintained. The corps cannot lower
its standard" One reason for this is
that the total enlisted force allowed by
law Is 10000 and the ranks now num-
Der more than $500. 1t takes a par
ticularly likely applicant to gain admis-
sion to the service.

the spectators We're limited to the ex-
acting critics of the naval service, the
marines have qualified especially for
duty ashore and under circumstances
that imposed the heaviest sort Of de-
posely obstacles were placed in their
way. They had to make their landings
through surf that called for the incest
sort Of handling on the part Of the re-
sponsible seamen: they were landed in
heavy marching order, but their fight
ing equipment was not the only load
placed upon their shoulders.
The marines were obliged to land
field guns and larger rapid fire weapons
and for the latter they had to prepare
substantial emplacements after they
succeeded in getting these masses OF
steel safely on the beach and thence
over a rugged road of the marines

relative has fallen. Otherwise Grape

ways been accustomed to deep mourn
ing. Their mothers and grandmothers
wore it. and they probably see no rea-
son why they themselves should set
it aside, no matter what idea u foreign
country has on the subject.
There is no country in the world
where home ties are stronger or more
deeply rooted than in France, and their
sympathy widens to the extent that
black is adopted when a distant rela-
tive OF an "in-law' passes away. So it
is only reasonable to suppose that

hostesses, particularly those who move

dismayed at the prospect of the most

OF course it is chiefly due to the war,
though President Wilson's bereavc-

the gloomy outlook.
The indications are that there win

Russia Gone Dry.

London, Dec. 12.-By Il single stroke
of his mighty pen his royal majesty
the car of all the Russias, Nicholas
H., has gained a masterful victory. BY
an imperial decree sanctioned by the
supreme senatorial council and oun
tersigned by the ministers Of finance
and of the interior the sale of vodka,
the whisky of Russia and its evil gen
JUS. has been prohibited.
No human mind is keen enough to
foretell the farreaching consequences
Of this heroic measure. One thing is
certain. 1t means the advent of Il new
era for Russia, al era of sobriety, in
dustry and devotion to civic and social
reform.
Russia's worst enemies could not by
any stretch of imagination have done
the harm that the millions of barrels Of
vodka sold in government grog shops
have done to the Russian peoples. For
more than a year the czar has sought
ways and means to lessen the evil, to
bring about a return of the Russian
peasant and workman to his former
| state of natural sobriety and docility.
But where to find the equivalent for
the 7O0,OO0,OM of rubles the sale of
vodka by the government monopoly
has yielded? This was the question
| that agitated the minds of the Russian
minister Of finance and his advisers.
The Russian budget for the last year
was close on 5000, 100000 rubles, 50
that vodka was responsible for nearly
% per cent of the entire income Of the
! empire.
Then came this war of the world, and
by the power vested in him through
the declaration of martial law the czal
cast all doubts to the winds, ended the
procrastination, simply prohibited the
sale Of vodka, ordered the government
grog shops to be closed and filled til,

bounded delight.
