Statesman Arrested on MESSAGE
of Secretary Lansing.
Relations of Former French Premier
With Berlin Foreign Office in
1915 Revealed.

Paris, Jan. 16.-The arrest of for
mer Premier Caillaux was due princi-
pally to a cablegram from Secretary
Lansing at Washington saying that in
1918 NJ. Caillaux had been in commu-
nication with the Berlin foreign Of
fee.
Secretary Lansing's cablegram stated
that the American representative at
Buenos Aires had been able to estab-
fish that M. Caillaux, during his visit
to Argentina in 1915, had been in COM
munication with the Berlin foreign Of
ice through Count Won Luxburg, then
German minister to Argentina, with
the object of concluding peace with
Germany at any price, so as to permit
the resumption of business.
1t is understood this evidence will
De published in America Immediately.
The arrest of former Premier Call
faux is commented upon at great
length by the newspapers, which in
general take the view that the gov
eminent would not have decided upon
TINS action if it had not obtained evil
dence OF the gravest character.
MOST OF the newspapers welcome the
governments action. Even the HUI
manlne and the Radical, which are in
cllned to sympathize with NJ Caillaux,
do not openly condemn his arrest, con-
tentng themselves with saying that
the government must have overwhelm-
nd n ir,er
that this evidence be produced.

law to hinder war preparations.
Retailers have charged higher prices
than fixed by the government.

The bill, by the words "Other per-
son." provides that practically all may
be limited as to food.
Its terms provide that the rich, will
ing to pay $40 for a meal, shall be
able to buy no more than others. The
bill proposes not price control, but the
fixing of the amount of food that may
be served to any one individual in
public places. 1t is admitted home
meals are beyond reach of legisla-
ton.
Lever Explains Bill.

OF 21-YEAR men
Measure introduced in Senate
for Registration of Men for
Military Duty.
WON'T RAISE The AGE LIMIT
Other Administration Bills Provide for
Changes in State Quota and Fur
Ioughs-WiII Add 100000
Available Men.

Washington, Jan. 16.-At the re-
quest of the war department Chairman
Chamberlain of the senate military
committee introduced a bill for the
registration for military duty of all
men who have become twenty-one
years old since June 5, 1917, when the
draft law went into effect
In determining upon the registration
Of men who have become twenty-One
since the draft law was enacted the
war department has rejected any plan
to raise the age limit of the draft to
take in men more than thirty-one.
To FurIough Men for Harvests.
Another bill which Senator Chamber
lain introduced at the request of the
administration, provides for furlough-
ing National army men for harvesting
crops and other agricultural duty.
Another bill puts the quota of the
states on the basis of available men in
the first class instead of on population.
Crowder Plan Wins Favor.
Registration of men who have be-
come Of age since the draft law was
enacted was referred to in the recent
report Of Provost Marshal General
CrOwder, as one of the means by which
supply Of men for the National army
might be assured without taking those
who might have other dependents upon
them.
1t could be done, also, the provost
marshal general pointed out, by ex-
tending the age limit above the present
line Of thirty-one. The war department
has adopted the first suggestion. 1t
is estimated that it will add about 7OO,-
600 men to the draft available each
year.
Congressman have been Informed
that further legislation would be neces-
sary to perfect and carry on the draft
and the passage of Senator Chamber
lain's bill with administration support
is expected promptly in both houses.
Another bill introduced by Senator
Chamberlain would provide a distinc-
tive badge or button for exempted
men.

other bill requires private insurance
companies to accept the official army
record as proof of death of men. It is
designed to meet the cases of men re-

proof of death. In case of payment
by insurance companies upon policies
held by men reported missing, who
later appear, the bill provides for reim-
bursement to the insurance companies

TILT ON The LAW
IN CITY THE COUNCIL

Alderman GlatZel at the council
meeting Tuesday night, speaking in
connection with the Grimm saloon
case, attacked the law which placed
the greater fine on the saloonkeeper
for selling posted persons, contend
ing that the posted person should be
given the heavier fine, as in many
cases his identity is unknown by the
saloonkeeper. He said the law ought
to be changed.
Mayor Mulberger then interviewed
and stated that as long as the law was
enacted by the state it could not be
changed by the common council of
the city of Watertown.
Alderman Gruetzmacher favored
the law, stating that it was a protec-
ton to the family and home, and pro-
tected the drunkard from himself.
