WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-An attempt
% enlist at least a quarter Of million
skilled workmen in the shipyard volun-
teer reserve will be made this week by
the Emergency Fleet Corporation
through state councils of defence The

ton week" in every state.

serve is to create a body of skilled

vice in the shipyards as they are
needed The classes of workers es-
pecially sought are: Acetylene and
electrical welders, asbestos workers.

men, fange turner's, furnace men.
boilermakers. riveters, reamers, carpen-
ters, shipcarpenters, dock builders,

Purpose of Organization
THE organization" said Chairman
Hurley, Of the 7hipping Board TO-
night, ais to be composed of workmen
who are willing to give good days
work for a good days pay, workmen
who are not asked to sacrifice present
positions to rush madly off the ship
yards, which may not be able to &C
commodate them for the moment, but
who stand ready whe,f called upon to
do q particular job for a particular
wage in particular place, and who en-
roll themselves. so that when needle ]
they can be readily reached.
Need of Nation Great
The need of the nation is great
he Shipping Board has the money,
the housing of men is being arranged
for, the yards are being completed and
the materials provided. All that is
now lacking is the spirit in the nation
that will send the best and most eff
cient mechanics into the yards, but
not in a fashion to disrupt the bust
ness of the country through the rob-
hing of present industries.
"lt is planned to make a careful Sc
lection of men whose places can be
iilled without hardship, and who, when
called upon to give up the job they now
mold, will have waiting for them def
tite positions at definite wages in
definite yards"

CaiZlaux Conspircd for Peace
To Regain Power, Says Herue
to Appear as Savior
of France, Asserts Editor
of La Victoire, Who
Calls Former Leader Me-
gallomaniac
The NcaU Yorh Tribune

Ihc NclU lOrh Tribune
Foreign Press Bureau
When CsillauX was arrested by order
OF the military court and put in prison,
Gustave Herve, editor Of LA Victoiic, "
thus described him
"This event touches us doubly, we
men of the Extreme Left, since he was
for so long one Of the chiefs of cur
party 1t was we who had put him az
our head, this unbalanced creature,
this gallomaniac, this unfortunate,
devoid OF all moral sense, to whom we
confided the destinies of France ard
the republic.
"In the great drama which reaches
the entire world, in the most frightful
cataclysm in human history, he has
seen nothing but his personal disgrace.
The great catastrophe under which tac
world suffers was not for him he
bloodletting of the universe which ha:
lasted FOR forty months. 1t was the
falling from power of Monsieur Joseph
Caillaux. The great injustice of 1914
was not the strangling of Serbia, the
violation of Belgium, Europe handed
over to rapine and slaughter. It was
the in ustce that threw down from the
head Of the government a man of his
worth and genius because Of an un-
fortunate revolver shot, fired by a
woman excited by some newspaper
articles.
He Needed Defeat
"To return to power-ilnpossible be-
cause of his unpopularity-t man
had only one idea. His thought was
to exploit the fatigue and war wca1i l.
ness, the agony Of a country worn By
interminable war, and to appear as the
man of peace, the savior who had
brought the butchery to an end. And
because he needed defeat 10 return to
power, he believed in defeat, or what
comes to the same thing, the impossi-
bility Of victory. From there it was
not far to join with the enemy to or
ganize in the press of France cam
paign of defeat
GAS detestable as is the propaganda
of Brzon, Raffin- n-Dugcns, Blanc and cur
other Bosheviki, it would be wrong
ing them TO put them in the same class
as Caillaux. At least, they have acted
without personal ambition. What is
revolving and objectionable in the case
of CaillauX is that in his conspiracy
ne hoped TO create paclhst moVemcE'
in France that would force US to ac-
cept the peace of the Kaiser.
"But our republic, mediocre as are
the men who direct its affairs, defect.
i've as are its institutions, has still in
its veins some drops Of the generous
blood of its ancestors of 1892 and 1913.
Monsieur Joseph Caillaux is arrest
ed! Long live the republic!"
Beyond the fact that he occupies a
small cell with narrow barred win
dow, Caillaux is pretty we'll treated in
jail, according TO "Le Journal" Of
Paris. An arm chair, two other chairs
New-York tribune., 1918-02-11

and an electric heater had been put in
his cell while a great quantity Of
linen has been sent down to him from
his house. A guard has been assigned
to him to run his errands and clean
his cell, whereas the other prisoners
have to keep their own cells clean.
Moreover, the guards have strict or
ders to be particular to give CaillauX
his former title Of Monsieur lc Prcsi-
dent du Conseil.
Has Cell Among Spies
Caillaux occupies Cell II in the
seventh division of the prison Of
the Sante. This is the division re-
served for high crimes, espionage,
murder and crimes of that calibre
There are twenty-five cells in the
seventh division and Caillaux has for
his ncighbors the murderer of Jaures,
spy and suspected spy, while on
either side of HIM, in 15 and 10, are his
accompliccs, Paul Comfy and the
deputy Loustalot. Half a dozen other
cells of the division are being rapidly
cleaned and prepared for expected ar
rivals.
When Loustalot was brought to the
prison he remarked pensively, Eight
years ago / came here to inaugurate
this prison. l did not think then that
! would ever occupy one of the cells"
The guard said consolingly. "Since
the Inauguration there have been many
improvements made. You will be able
to test them"
Since Caillaux was arrested his
house in the rue Alphonse-de- -Neuville
has been closely watched. Special po-
lice are always on guard. while detec-
tives await in an automobile. and if
