BOIO Pasha's Corrupt Trail


briber He refuses TO admit that the policy OF /
his Islpers in their obviously pro-Cerman tone III
any w;lv reflected an opinion Influenced by an eX-
fIanee of after dinner cOurtesies and val Ious con
terSations.
IT is interesting and important, however. for
fAmericans know that the exposure of this same
Eoo Pasha and his relations with the peace propa-
ganda of France, his influence with the Minister OF
the Interior Mavy. and the scandaous Caiilaux s
was what brought about the reorganization of the
French ministry and the elimination of what Roose-
= welt would call shadow Huns worse.
A resume of recent events in France which en-
ables n clearer understanding of the governmental
changes in that country is given in the Literary
Digest As one follows the course of Boo Pasha
and his known accompees in France he cannot fail
10 be struck with the similarity of sentiments ex-
pressed by Hearst journals side of the water
l3oo Pasha must have had most remarkable men
tai power To have reached so far. ~
] The summary as given by the Digest is given at
length. not alone because it assists in reading the
despatches from France, but for the further and
perhaps important aid il furnishes in interpret
ing the activities of the shadow Huns in ou' own
country and identifying them indeed in our own
midst The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily Chronicle neatly summarizes the situation
for us when he writes: .@
HThe man behind the French ministerial crisis is
Mr. Georges clemenceau, the veteran poemist. His
attacks Mr.. Malyy, the minister of the interior,
have been of such point and purpose that the Ribot
"Mr clemenceau's attack on Mr. Mavy was inspired
by the thought that the minister not sufficiently
severe on German intrigue In France This was partly
founded the minister's supposed connection with
the notorious Almereyda, the editor of the Bonnet |
Rouge, whose death in prison lat his own hands, ac-
cordng the official inquiry still occupying atten
ton. Without in the last mpugnng the good faith of
Mr. Mavy his critic suggested, both in his striking
speeches in his articles il. his jour
nal that he morally ASST ting the wrong sort OF
Propaganda in France And to make the matter plain,
Il may be said that Mr.. Malvy in common with
other members of the powerful Radical group,
appeared look kindly upon the efforts of certain
journalists (among them Almereyda) to promote
atmosphere Of peace
Behind Almereyda looms the sinister figure of Mr..
Joseph Caillanx. the French politician around
whose name gathers a cloud of scandals. He seems
to have financed the Bonnet Rouge which, says the
London Times, twas extremely scurrilous pub =
lication which in March, 1914, transformed into
81 daily evening paper" with Almereyda as its
!, e0itor. The Times proceeds:
Throughout the Almereyda made himself the
champion Of every pacffs and antipatriotic idea His
campaign in OF the enemy conducted with s
certain cleyerness. ard by methods of
nature of Mr.. CaiIlauxs recent visit to Rome the Bon
net Rouge began violent campaign against The
Times accusing it of conducting an antiFrench cam
Il paign
Mr. cIemenceau in his speech in the senftc on
July % devoted quite lot of attention to the activi
ties of Amereyda and his relations with Mr.. Ma'-y
the minister of the interior. He showed that Mr..
taking measures against few thousand individuals
who. by their past history and their antmiarist
antipatriotic agitation had been acted down
cia Iist-Iist B-as persons likely hinder lobi-
lizaton. High up upon this list figured the name of
Almereyda." &.
The motive force of the Bonnet Rouge says The
Times. was German money obtained from certain
Marx, a banker of Mannheim, and paid into Switz
erland. On the propaganda conducted by the Bon I
net Rouge, The Times says: L
1T is no secret that propaganda increased
IN openness, i.d at the date of Mr. Cemenceaus in
fervention in the senate had become scandal to all
hood Frenchmen. Nearly all the open forms of
this pacfist propaganda and of these attempts TO |
cause trouble Wit II the workingcasses have radated
from the Bonnet Rouge. The checks found Duyal,
Almereydas manager, have been traced to the Bonnet
Rouge. and without doubt Almereyda the chief Ii
figure in this matter
1t was not left to the foreign press to connect
Mr. Caaux with this web of intrigue, for Senator j
Charles Humbert, the owner of the Paris Journal,
has roundy charged that he is the center of the
/ pacfst propaganda for German peace" This
came about through the activities of an adyenturer
certain Bolo Pasha, a friend of the ex- Khedye of
lypt, who, the Action Franchise tells us, has been
arrested. and it charges that "the German govern
ment had turned over to Bolo. $S000,000 I
to substitute the French press in favor of German
peace And no less than 50 100000 of it has been
raced back to the Deutsche Bank" The Paris Jour
nal was one of the papers that Bolo Pasha attempt
1 cd to suborn. and the Paris Figaro links up Al
| mereyda, Caillaux. and Bolo together
@hfr Caiaux became the patron of the Bonnet
Rouge eight DAYS after the murder of our esteemed
editor Calmette, and made regular contribu-
1 tons Another illuminating fact is tn t on /,

Fumberts reply to the accusation brought against him
