CAILLAUX TO BE TRIED
 FOR HIGH TREASON
Count Minotto is a son-in. Law os Louis Swift the Packer, and Plac.
 ed in lnterment Camp After a Hard Fight as Dangerous Enemy Alien.

New York. Oct. S--Startling dis closures regarding the alleged nego- tiations Of Joseph Caillaaux, one time premier of France, and Count von LuXburg. former German minister to Argentina, intended to re-estabiiSh CaillauX in Paris and bring about ispeeial peace with Germany, hayel been made to Deputy State Attorney General Becker by Count James M H notto an interned enemy, the stYe official announced. here late toAy. The deposition of Mfn0tto wlofis son-in- law Of Louis Swift Chicago packer. has been forwarded to tho French ambassador at Washington. Mr Becker said, and a summary Of ia has been cabied to France for use in the trial of Caillaux for high treason, which opens tomorrow.
 The full text is also on it's way 10 Paris by a fast steamship.
 Count Minotto who comes of an old Italian family, but who was born in Berlin and took part in ex.- tended conferences between Caillaux then on a sepcial mission to Argeu- tina for France, and Lux E. accord ing to Minotto's sworn statement.
 The count, MT Becker said, was re- luctant at first to reveal his alleged connection with the Cailiaux congpir- acy hut finally confessed his entire connection with the Buenos Aires ne- gotiations. The details of his testi- mony the official said, would not be made public until they have been of fered in evidence in the Caillaux trial
 Count Minoto, Mir Becker said, dis played many anti-German sentiments during their lcng interview and ap- peared anxious to give all the infor- nation in his possession to the au- thorities
 Min0tto the official stated. though apparently not commissioned for that purpose by the German government served as a go-between in the Cal- laux 1mxburg conferences.
 Caillaux is charged with intrigue tending to shake solidarity of the allies and to bring about premature and dishonorable peace with Ger many"
 His case is linked with those of Bolo Pasha, convicted of treason and executed, and Lotfis J .saafai.gyyr, safai.gyr fo-:s:: CT minister of the interior, who is ai- legged to have been the former pre- mier's tool in the government. The ~. tr nff rn posed an alliance between France. Germany. Italy and Spain against England and Russia.

 The Vienna government asserted that it adhered 10 the same point of view expressed by the president in his last communion on the rights of the Austro-hungarian peoples. especially those o' the Czecho- Slovaks and Juvo Sloyaks and requested that he begin overturos with the allied gov ernments with a view to ending i'm mediately hostiities on all Ausro- Hunearian fronts.
 The official of the German note did HoL ulllNE udltlIdilS rom the HnOi- ficial version as received by cable. No official cement was forthcoming. but it is known that no response will be made at present to the communication, which is heheyed to have been dis patched with the primary intention of satisfying The German people that their government is not emitting an opportunity to forward the neeotia- tions for an armistice and peace
 Regarding the renewed assurance in the German not that the constitu- tional structure of the German gov ernment has been, and Is being chang ed to democratic lines. it is pointed out that the truth of this statement and the scope of the changes. already made or proiected after all are mat ters to be dealt with in connection with peace and not in arranging an armistice.
