(By Leased Wire to New Mexican)
Washington, D. c. JAM, 16.-From
it's mysterious stock Of intercepted
diplomatic communications the state
department today published cores.
pondence between Count Won Bern
storff, former German ambassador
here and the Berlin foreign office
showing that former Premier Call
laux OF France was In communities
tion with German agents In Argen-
tina In 1915.
The first 6ernstorff despatch con-
talned very damaging references to
caillaux's references to the French
government and warned German
newspapers against praislng him.
Another gave notice of the ship on
which caiilaux was sailing from Ar
gentina and planned its capture by
submarines.
The capture of the ship was sought
because her captain carried import
ant papers. The German government
was asked to treat Caillaux with every
courtesy and consideration II the
ship was taken. The department also
published a German censorship rule
which forbade the mention of Call
laux's name in the German newspa-
pers.
Following is the text Of the mes
sage sent by Bernstorff:
Buenos Aires telegraph the follow
ing:
after a short stay and is going direct
to France evidently on account of the
(group undicipherable) scandal
which he regards as a personal at
tack upon himself. He speaks con-
t%emputously of the president and the
rest of the French government with
the exception of BRAND. He sees the
policy of England perfectly. He does
not anticipate the complete over
throw of France. He see in the war
now a struggle for existence on the
part OF England. Although he spoke
much Of the 'indiscretions and clumsy
policy of the Wilnelmstrasse and
professed to believe in German afro
cities he has in essential, changed his
policy of orientation. Caillaux well
coined indirect c~ourtesies from me but
emphasized the extreme caution
which he is obliged to show as the
French government, he said, had him
watched wen here. He warns us
against the excessive praise bestowed
upon him by our papers, especially
the Neue Felie Presse and desired on
the other hand that Mediterranean
and Morocco agreements should be
adversely criticised. Our praise in
lures his position In France. Gail
laux's reception here was cool. His
report about Brazil had nothing new.
On his return to France he will be-
gin to reside in his own constituency.
He fears Paris and the fate Of Jaures.
'BERNSTORFF."
Taking Care Of Caillaux
Another message which Count
Bernstorff had forwarded was from
Havana as follows:
"Tol, Rio de Janeiro, telegraphs
steamer Araguaya left Buenos Aires
January 30. The captain is carrying
important papers. Capture very de-
sirable. Caillaux is on board. In case
of capture Caillaux should in an I'M
obtrusive way be treated with cour
tesy and consideration. Can you in
form our cruisersf
"BBRNSTORFF."
The instructions Of the German cen
sorship to the German press on June
l6, 1915, follow:
For political reasons, it is urgent
" requested that nothing be written
about the former French Prime Min
lister Caillaux and That his name be
not mentioned under any circum-
stances"
This correspondence although no
announcement to that effect
is available is made public by ar
rangement nth the French govern
which desired its exposure.
Caillaux now Is waiting trial for
on revelations developed by
the celebrated Bolo Pasha case. 4
