NEW YORK, Oct. Startling dis closures regarding alleged negotiations of Joseph Caillaux, one time premier of France, and Count von Luxburg, for mer German minister to Argentina, intending to re-establish Caillaux in power in Paris, in 1916, and bring about a separate peace with Germany, have been made to Deputy State Attorney General Becker, by Count James Min otto, an informed enemy alien, the state official announced here late today.
 The deposition of Minotto, who is a son. in-law of Louis Swift of Chicago, has been forwarded to the French am- bassador at Washington, MT. Becker said, and a summary of it has been cabled to France for use in the trial of Caillaux for high treason. which opens tomorrow. The full text also is on it's way to Paris by fast steamship.
 Minotto who comes of an old Italian family, but who was born in Berlin. went to Buenos Aires in 1915 and took part in extended conferences between Caillaux, then on a special mission to Argentina, from France, and Luxburg, according to Minotto's sworn state ment.

 WILSON, SAYS '. K.

If Mir. Wilson had really meant to disregard politics, he would at once have constructed coalition, non-par- tisan cabinet, calling the best men of the nation to the highest and most i'm portant offices under him, without re- gard to politics. He did nothing of the kind. In the positions most vital to the conduct of the war, and in the positions now most important in con- nection with negotiating peace, he re- tained or appropriated men without the slightest fitness for the performance of the tasks, whose sole recommenda- tion was supple eagerness to serve MT. Wilson personally, and to serve Mir. Wilson's party insofar as such serv- ice benefited Mir Wilson"

 GERMAN DEPUTY

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 2S.-(By the Associated ess)-Exciting scenes oc- cured in the German reichstag during the proceedings of the house on Fri day and Saturday. Outspoken speeches were indulged in.
 In the course of the discussion, the Polish deputy, Korfantz, hotly at tackled the Polish policy of the gov ernment. He declared that in Chemnitz alone, the war raw materials depart ment sold eight million marks worth of carpets and other goods, taken from Poland. Seven hundred thousand poor Polish people were carried off to Ger many, where they led the lives of slaves, while Brig. General Pilsudski of the Polish legion) whom the Polish nation regarded highly, was still held in the fortress at Magdeburg, despite all appeals. The deputy concluded:
 "We are not blaming the German people for these prosecutions, but Ger man militarism. We extend the hand of reconciliation to the German people for the commonwealth"
 "War With HohenzolIerns"
 The independent socialist, Cohn, who declared that the war was lost, after the first battle of the Marne, said that General Ludendorff at the end of Sep tember proposed the formation of a government empowered to negotiate an armistice with President Wilson, as it was impossible to guarantee the main- tenance of the war much longer.
 "The question cannot longer be evaded," said Dr. Cohn, war with the Hohenzollerns or peace without the Hohenzollerns. World revolution will follow on world imperialism and world militarisn, and we will overcome them We extend our hand to our friends be- yond the frontier in this struggle"
 Criminal Court" for Kaiser
 The speech was received with such commotion as cries of shame" and applause, that the vice president threatened to order the chamber cleared.
 Another socialist, Otto Ruehl. was called to order for declaring that the emperor must abdicate. He retorted "A call to order will not save him from the criminal court"
 The house debated the bill amend 1 ing the constitution, which was passed | Saturday. Several speakers displayed anxiety to show that the reforms were l not dictated by the enemy. but hat | been advocated since the spring of 1917 The conservative. Herr Von Graefe complained that the proposed reform: would destroy all the crown influence and declared the conservative part! would refuse to cooperate in such { break with the past.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-Colonel Theo- dore Roosevelt, answering President Wilson's appeal for return of demo- cratic majority in congress, urged vot- CTS of the nation, in an address here tonight, to transfer control to repub- lican leadership. Such an outcome of the election, he declared, would assure "our allies that America is determined to speed up the war and insist on un- conditional surrender of the enemy and would serve notice on Germ3ny 'and her vassal states" that they would have to deal henceforth with the reSo- lute and straightforward soul of the American people and not merely with the obscure purposes and wavering will of MT. Wilson,
 Declaring that "half the leaders of the presidents own party opposed him, when he had committed himself to war measures" MT. Roosevelt asserted that heads of the republican organization in congress supported the administra- tion when a declaration of war was needed, when there was a demand fol the draft, when the army was sent overseas, and when money was re- quired by taxation or by loans.
 The former president spoke at a meeting under the auspices of the Re publican club at Carnegie hall, to ad- vocate the election of "the republican stcte ticket here in New York and ot the republican congressional ticket throughout the union"
