After continuous services OF fifteen
years as representative from the 9Th

year when war was declared to enter
the U. S. A. For years he had fought
for national preparedness, for big
ger army and navy, and when this
country became involved in hostili-
ties he gave prompt and practical de-
m0nstration of his patriotism.
In the Spanish-American war he
served as captain and assistant adju.

James H. Wilson, and thereafter wag-
ed determined fight in and out Of

PRoBABLW AN ALLY OF BOLO
Arrest Due to Documents Recently
Found and With Which He
is Confronted.

Paris, Jan. 15.-Former premier JOS
eph Cailleaux, who has been under in.
vestigation by the authorities in con.
nection with the German propaganda
in France was placed under arrest this
morning
The arrest OF Cailleaux created a
sensation Unprecedentedly large Is,
sues OF the Paris afternoon papers
were sold.
The Temps says the arrest Of Gail
leaux was due to documents recently
produced against him before the in
vestigating Judge. 1t says there also
is report concerning a document
which soon may be published in the
foreign press. This document is
understood to have placed Captain
BOuchard0on In the same position as
when, on the receipt OF American dis
patches. he decided to order the ar
rest OF Bolo Pasha.
More or less undenied murmerings
in French political circles against for
mer Premier Cailleaux which had per-
sisted for months were brought to
head last November with open charg-
et, published by Gustave Herve in his
newspaper, LaVictorre, that NJ. Gail
leaux had conspircd during his stay
in Italy year ago with notorious ad-
vocates OF a peace dishonorable to
France and with being the protector
OF BOlo Pasha.
He was specifically accused by the
government OF planning in Rome the
signing of q treaty Of alliance, in the
name of France, with Germany, Italy
and Spain, against Great Britain and
Russia. Other reasonable relations
and activities in peace propaganda
were also charged against him. M.
