The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-09-03

Through an intrigue in 1911 Gail
laux became Premier. A year later a
Senatorial investigation brought out
his secret negotiations with German
financiers. He was plotting to surren-
der to the Kaiser the French rights in
the Belgian Congo, to give Germany
most of the French Congo and the
l-onch islands in the Pacific Ocean
and to yield almost all the points
claimed by France in the Morocco
controversy. Similar secret plots to
make great concessions to Spain were
revealed
An impeachment was only avoided
because it was feared the things it
would bring into the light of day would
almost ruin French prestige abroad.
Following this, Caillaux took his
place in the Chamber of Deputies as
head of the Radicals and similar
groups and though he was not able to
prevent M. Poincaire's elevation - to
the Presidency he succeeded in max
ing it very unpleasant for the latter.
Then came the general elections OF
1914, which were triumph for Gail
laux's party. He became Minister of
Finance. A bitter press campaign
against him begun. A swindler named
Henri Rochelle had defrauded poor
Frenchmen out of thirty millions dol
lars. Caillaux's power it was charged
was used to save Rochelle.
The campaign was led by CASTOR
Calamette, editor of the Figaro. Seek
ing Calmette in his office, the wife of
Caillaux, one of the most beautiful
women in France, shot him dead. Call
laux was forced to resign but his wife
was acquitted.
Gets Military Job.
The outbreak of the war served to
draw attention from this mess. Gail
laux, with a show of patriotism, took
a position as a paymaster general.
Here he was detected in secret ne
gotiations for a separate peace with
Germany and he was so highhanded
with his military superiors that Gen.
eral Joffre arrested him.
1t was a narrow escape from court
martial for Caillaux. But his friends,
led by Premier Viviani, who is Rad
ical, got his return to civil life. He
left the country under the guise of
going ON government mission to
Brazil.
In the course of this trip an Eng
lish army officer BACKED his eye and
later a Portuguese noble boxed his
ears-in both cases to show their
aversion and contempt for him.
He arrived back in France In time
to save a notorious friend of his from
serious punishment This was the
paymaster Deslaux, convicted of steal
ing army supplies and sending them
to a woman intimate.
Desclaux was left off with two years
imprisonment. To this General Joffre
added public military degradation.
Desclaux's sword was broken and his
military insignia were torn off.
Attacks Generalisstmo.
Then came Caillaux's campaign
against the generalissimo, which is
still in full swing. He charged that the
retreat to the Marine would have been
averted if Joffre had had civilian adj
visers. He has now forced those coun-
cillors upon the great generals of
France. He has broken up the "Sa-
cred Union" of all parties formed last
autumn to save France. The Radicals
publicly declare they will no longer
be bound by their agreement and they
do not conceal that they have set out
to remove not only Joffre, but the

Instead of Joffre, they would set up

lipoli
Curiously enough, one of the prin.
cipal charges brought against Joffre
and his friends is that they have
brought back religion. The Radical
party, led by Emile Combes and by
Caillaux, once passed law that ev-
cry officer who permitted his wife and
family to attend church, of whatsoev-
err creed, should be forced to leave
the army.
The notorious General Andre as
Minister of War, even tried to use po-
litical Masonic lodges to investigate
the private life of every officer with
the object of putting this absurd or
der in force. Andre was finally got
rid Of
Now the Radicals who are aggres-
sive atheists and would make all 9TH
er persons forced atheists, have again
brought up the religious issue. They
even hint that France would have
been able to stem the German tide
earlier or be able to drive the Ger
mans straightway out of France now
were it not that General Joffre has al
lowed religion to get grip on the
nations defenders.

Mail dispatches from Paris, which
would never have passed the French
cable censor, intimate that all is not

breach between the army and the

ing OF the commander-in-chief, Gen
eral Joffre.
CaillauX is still the real leader of
the Radical party, which has the
strongest group in the Chamber of
Deputies. This alignment is the result
of an election held before the start of
the war.
Were another election held today,
the outcome might be different, but
as it is Minister of War Millerand and
Gen. Joffre have the heavy task of
fighting the enemy in the field and in
trigue at home.
The Radicals have already forced
the generals in the field to receive
civilians delegated by the Government
and to make known to them in detail
the military situation.
6OW nSy ~rOWo JOTICS.
What will Caillaux and his crowd
demand next? Obviously, that these
representatives of the Government
have the vote power over the orders
of the troop leaders.
This would re-establish the system
which almost wrecked the armies of
the Republic in 1898, when commits

Many observers in France believe
that at such a juncture Gen. Joffre
he will override the Government. And
on this day the people of France will
probably be with him, for the present
number of adherents of the anti-mili-
tary Radical party is deceptively mir
rored by the Deputies of that stripe.
That Joffre fears not Caillaux was
shown in the early days of the war

on France that such a man can con-
tinue powerful. for the known facts
about him would have sent him into
obscurity if not Imprisonment and
even the gallows in another country.
Caillaux was one of the leaders in
the movement which almost succeeded
in reducing compulsory service In the
army from three to two years and
which did succeed in Gripping the ma
Wy and sitting the land forces by cut
ting their funds down to minimum.
The anti-military movement was
only checked about five years ago by
the threat of Russia to break her al
lance with France unless the three
year term be enforced.
Popular sentiment saw the danger
and Raymond Poincaire was put in
office as Premier, and, later, Presi-
dent.
Under Poincaire, further, II not ade-
quate, defence measures were taken
with the result that the history of the
campaign of 1914 did not repeat the
sickening tale of 1870, as it surely
would have done had not Calliaux and
his colleagues been temporarily worst
