Friends of Joseph Caillaux are making
strong efforts to induce the French Gov
eminent to render more comfortable his
stay in the Sante prison while he is
waiting trial For the last month the
ex-Premier has had to submit to the
regime of ordinary offenders awaiting
trial. and it is alleged that he is suffer-
ing from arteriosclerosis, the gravity of
which has been much increased by the
lack Of fresh air and exercise.
Efforts are being mad TO transfer HIM
to the category of political prisoners
which would entitle him to spend several
hours a day in the prison garden. At
present he is limited to an hours exer-
else daily in the prison yard.
The accused politician has been visited
by his own physician. Doctor Socquet,
who Is understood to have expressed the
opinion that his condition was such that
he was in great need of special treat
ment.
Caillaux has consistently refused to
ask from the Government the favor of
being treated during his preliminary con-
inement as a political prisoner. The
department of military justice, in re-
Spouse to the steps taken by his friends,
hesitates to come to any decision of the
kind asked for on the ground that such
action might he construed as indicating
that in its opinion he ought to be re-
gardpd as a political prisoner and not az
a man who hould be tried as a traitor
to his country.
1t is regarded as probable that if he
would humble himself to solicit the ordi-
nary privileges which any sick mar
might reasonably demand or the grounds
OF illcess no difficulty wouldSb be placed by
the Government in the way Of making
his stay In prison more comfortable
This is exactly what Caillaux will not
do. All indications tend to show that
he prefers to take the proud standpoint
of a much injured and misunderstood pa
triot plus an candidate for the hall of a
martyr.
sympathetic references 10 Malvy and
CaillauX which have recently appeared
in the German press have been noted

here with interest. The fact that in the
enemy press the names of MElvy, who
has been sentenced to five years ban
ishment for betrayal of his duty to his
country as a minister Caillaux, who Is
awaiting trial on grave charges Of con-
veying intelligence to the enemy. and the
editor of the London paciist journal, the
Daily News. are bracketed together as
friends of Germany Is regarded here as
amply justifying the step which the au-
thorities too in bringing Malvy to trial
and arresting Caillaux.

Americans and Germans engaged in
sharp infantry fighting and violent artil-
lery battles throughout yesterday, from
the region Of Bazoches to a considerable
distance east Of Fisnes-a front or
about five miles.
Both Americans and Germans attack
ed and counter-attacked repeatedly. The
Americans advanced their lines in the
region of RazocheS and fierce street
fehting resulted in the outskirts of the
town. At the same time the Teutons
attacked Fismette, but were entirely re-
pulsed. Later the Americans were in
volved in a light in Bois-du-riable and
succeeded in rectifying their line.
The fighting broke ont everywhere at
$40 in. the. morning and continued All
day. At Fismette the Germans tried to
rush the Americans with y considerable
force, supported on the TANKS by fam
menwerfers. The famr-throwers lried
to work their way into the town, spray
ing liquid fire toward the ~doughboys. but
with little success.
The first rush forced the Americans
to withdraw somewhat. one officer and
twenty-five men held a bridge. crossing
the Vesle while the others sought cover.
All attempts of the Germans to reach the
river were beaten off. As fast nS an
enemy appeared near the bridge he was
cut down by rifle and machine-gun fire.

vicinity OF Fismette bombing the Ger

G, 0. P. WIN SENATOR
Will Control National House and
May Have Senate Also

The Mysterious Stranger"
has returned after an absence of
several years.
Judge SeIden P. Spencer, the
republican nominee, was elected
United States senator from Mis-
souri, last Tuesday by a majority
of more than $4,000 over Holy
Joe" Folk.
Spencer carried St. Louis, his
home city, by $4,000 and ran
ahead of his ticket in every county
in the state, carrying many demo-
cratic strongholds.
The republicans also elected five
congressman in Missouri and will
control the lower branch of the
state legislature, and senate will be
close, the republicans having made
gains.
The next national house will be
republican and the senate will be
very close if not in the hands of
the republicans.
Kansas hit the trail back to the
republican camp to the tune of
100000. The democrats failed to
carry a single county in the state.
In Illinois Medill Mccormick,
republican, defeated Jim Ham
Lewis by big majority. Lewis
was the democratic whip in the
senate and personal representative
of the president, while Mccormick
has been a bitter critic of the
Wilson war administration.
Colorado voted republican al
most solidly for both state and
national tickets. Oregon also
WenG repuUllcau.
President Wilson's appeal to
New Jersey to send only democrats
to the senate failed. Both re-
publicans were elected by heavy
majorities.
Henry Ford, President Wilson's
candidate for senator in Michigan,
was showed under so deep even
a fivver won't be able to pull him
out.
Nebraska Republicans returned
to power, rejecting Senator
Norris by a large majority and
seated an entire state ticket.
Indiana is in the Republican |
column again by a plurality Of
about 10000. This is conceded |
by Democratic state leaders and
candidates. Every one of In
diana's representatives in the next
congress will be republican. Every
state official will be republican.
