Dreyfus Counsel
To Aid Caillaux in
Paris Spy Trial
Order Signed for Ex-Pre-
mier's Prosecution in Mill
tary Court Martial

PARIS. Dec. "a General Dubail has
signed the order for the prosecution OF
ex-Premier Caillaux, Deputy Doustalot
and NJ. Comfy. Caillaux has engaged
as counsel NJ. Demange, who defended
Dreyfus at Rennes.
The newspapers here contain many
new and interesting details of the al
legged Caillaux intrigues with Germany
II is alleged that Comfy was one OF
the luncheon party where Caillaux met
Cavsllini. Later Comfy accompanied
Loustalot TO Switzerland. where they
saw the former Khedive Of Egypt. who
has become a German agent.
Cavaillini, prominent Radical Social
iSt Deputy to the Italian Parliament
has been arrested in Rome. He had
long been suspected of trading with
the enemy by the Italian government,
but had not been arre sted through lack
of specific evidence.
Aligned With Bolo
Recently, IN the course of the Bolo
investigation here, many documents
were discovered throwing light on the
relations Of Bolo, Cail'aux and Csval-
lini.
"Csvallini and Bolo," says the
Figaro" were conducting a political
propaganda in favor Of Germany and
were at the same time acting as spies
for the German government.
"Cavallini was in communication
with Germanophiles in France and
Italy. II v~>S in 1913 that Germany,
foresecing important events. deter
mined to organize her propaganda in
Switzerland.
"Many German agents were sent out
from there TO Allied countries under
the orders of a supreme chief. Bolo
Pacha and Cavallini held to import
tant posts"
Actress Held as Plotters' Aid
Together with Cavallini there was
arrested his intimate, Marchioness dc
Ricci, a prominent Italian actress. who
is said TO have assisted him in his de-
featist and pro-German propaganda.
"The Italian Secret Service" writes
Gustave Herve in LA Victoire," "be-
lieved that the best way in which to
lay trap for the defeatist propaganda
was to look away from it. But the
Isonzo blow opened the eyes of the
Italians. The fact that entire regi-
ments under the influence of German
propaganda passed singing over to the
enemy and delivered all Venetia to the
Teutons set the Italian Secret Service
to work. And thus the Cavallini band
was discovered"

full attempt on the part Of the labor lobby
to have rule 49, that bars lobbyists from

the members of the House to place them

admitted that some lobbyists had passed
the doorkeepers, but declared that the rule
was being enforced as rigidly as possible
