American Secretary Of State
Reveals His Connection
With Berlin Office.
OPERATED In ARGENTINA
Sent Messages Through Won
Luxburg In Endeavor to
Bring Peace.

Paris, Jan. l6.-The arrest of for
mer Premier Caillaux was due prin-
cipally to a cablegram from Secretary
Lansing at Washington saying that in
1915 NJ. Caillaux had been in commu-
nication with the Berlin Foreign
Office.
Secretary Lansing's cablegram
stated that the American representa-
tive at Buenos Aires had been able to
establish that NJ. Caillaux, during his
visit TO Argentina in 1915, had been
in communication with the Berlin
Foreign Office through Count Won
LGx5urg, then German Minister to
Argentina, with the object of con-
cluding peace with Germany at any
price, so as to permit the resumption
OF business.
The arrest Of former Premier Gail
laux is commented upon at length by
the newspapers of Paris, which in
general take the view that the Gov
ernment would not have decided
upon this action il il had not obtained
evidence of the gravest character.
Most Of the newspapers welcome the
Governments action. Even organs
like the Humsnite and the Radical,
which are inclined to sympathize with
M. Caillaux, do not openly condemn
his arrest, contenting themselves with
saying that the Government must
have overwhelming proofs to justify
il and demanding that this evidence
be produced.
