The summary AS given by the Digest is given at
length not alone because assists in reading the
dispatches from France hut for the further and
perhaps more important aid it furnishes in interpret
ing the activities of the shadow Huns in own
country and identifying them indeed in our own
midst The Paris correspondent of the London
Daily Chronicle neatly summarizes the situation
for when he writes:
THE man behind the French ministerial crisis Is
Mr.. Georges Cemenceau, the veteran polemst His
attacks Mr. Malvy, the minister of the interior
have been Of such point and purpose that the Rioot
cabinet had to fall. III
"Mr CIemenceau's attack on Mr. Malvy inspired
by the thought that the minister not sufficiently
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 hands ac-
cordng the official inquiry is still occupying aen
ton Without the last mpugning the good faith of
Mr. Malyy, his critic suggested, both in his striking
speeches in the senate and 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,
may be said that Mr.. Malvy, in common with many
other members of the powerful RadicaSocalist group
appeared to look kindly upon the efforts of certain
journalists (among them Almereyda) to promote an
atmosphere of peace"
Behind Almereyda looms the sinister figure of Mr..
Joseph Caillaux, the French politician around
whose name gathers cloud of scandals. He seems
TO have financed the Bonnet Rouge, which, says the
London Times, twas extremely scurrilous pub
LEGATION which in March, 1914 transformed into
daily evening paper" with Almereyda as its
editor. The Times proceeds
Throughout the war Almereyda made himself the
champion of every pacfist and anpatrotic idea His
campaign in favor of the enemy was conducted with
certain coarse eleverness, ard by methods of
less frank insinuaton When The Times revealed the
nature of Mr. Caiauxs recent visit to Rome the Bon
net Rouge began violent campaign against The
Times, accusing it of conducting an antiFrench cam
paign.
July 81 devoted quite lot of attention the activ
ties Of Almereyda and his relations with Mr.. May;
the minister Of the interior He showed that Mr..
Malyy at the beginning the war, had rofraned
taking measures against few thousand individuals
who by their past history and their antmiarist and
antipatriotc agitation had been acted down on spe-
cial st-Lst Bias persons likely to hinder the .aob
lizaton High up upon this list figured the name of
Almereyda." 49,
The motive force of the Bonnet Rouge says The
Times, was German money obtained from certain
Marx, banker of Mannheim, and paid into Swift
erland. On the propaganda conducted by the Bon
net Rouge, The Times says:
ct is no secret that the propaganda has increased
in openness ard at the date OF Mr.. Clemenceaus in
PREVENTION in the senate had become scandal to all
good Frenchmen. Nearly all the more open forms of
this pacifist propaganda and Of these attempts
trouble with the workingclasses have radiated
from the Bonnet Rouge. The checks found on Duva
Almereydas manager have been traced to the Bonnet
Rouge, and without doubt Almereyda was the chief
figure in this matter" s. .-...-.
1t was not left to the foreign press to connect
Mr. Caillaux with this web of intrigue for Senator
Charles Humbert, the owner of the Paris Journal,
has roundly charged that he is the center of the
pacifst propaganda for a German peace" This
came about through the activities of an adrenturer,
a certain Boo Pasha, friend of the ex-Khedive of
Egypt who, the Action Franchise tells us, has been
arrested. and it charges that "the German govern
ment had turned over to Boo. $S,000000
10 subsdize the French press in favor of German
peace And no less than So 100000 of it has been
traced back to the Deutsche Bank" The Paris Jour
nal was one of the papers that Bolo Pasha attempt
ed to suborn, and the Paris Figaro links up AL
mereyda, CaauX. and Bolo together:
'gdr Caillaux became the patron of the Bonnet
Rouge eight days after the murder of our esteemed
editor, CASTOR Calmette and made regular contribu-
tons -. Another Illuminating fact is tn I

caiIaux at Manners by Mr. cIaret announcing Charles
