Temptation of France

But they arc reckoning without M.
Georges Clemenccau.
Germany knows France and its peo-
pic as she knows her own land and her
people. She knows the sentiment, the
frugality and the weaknesses of France.
She knows the commercial, industrial
and political conditions Cover 60
per cent of the manufactures of
France are located in the section now
in Germany's possession), and she be-.
ieves that with her exports cut to
comparative nothingness, with no in
dustries-save of war-working as an
offset, with debts mounting high and
her troop resources reduced, France
has arrived at the limit of her patience
and endurance and will not, can not
respond again to such calls upon her
life and treasure and self-denial as she
has in the last three and half years.
Germany knows-knew before and
better than France, and values most
highly as indorsing her diagnosis and
favoring her chances-the treachery of
Caillaux. She counts it heaviest in the
balance when France is asked to stand
against another terrible onslaught.
But again Germany reckons without
Clemenceau, whose answer is the trial
of Caillaux, now proceeding.
"The greatest blessing that has come
to France" said one of high place in
the Foreign Office to me, "is the bring
ing of this traitor to trial"
1t is the warning of France to her
intriguing and disloyal politicians, the
coup dc grace to her trembling pacifists
and the new version of the patriotic
slogan, "Ils ne passeront pas" ("They
shall not pass"), which presagcd the
victory at Verdun.
The injury Caillaux was plotting to
do his country, and through it the
Allied cause, would have been IRENE
dablc. The harm he actually accom-
plished is very considerable Through
his reasonable ardor in an hour when
France had need of the active loyalty
of her every son. he brought hesita-
tion and corruption where the very
life of his country depended on unity
and honesty, while the pacitist propa-
ganda of his two papers, "Bonnet
Rouge" and lie Pays" has gone far
to damp the fire in the flaming spirit
of France.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-20
Coillaux's Work

he brought pcssmism to the cities
and skepticism to the peasant, already
tortured by grief and denial. He
upon the lowlv mind. He gave the pco-
pie of the soil to feel that theirs was
the paying, the sacrificing of sons, of
savings, for d cause doomed to failure;
that Germany was too strong to be
beaten, and that peace made now, be-
fore France lost, would offer better
terms than one made on lost battle
field, as in 1871.
Thus nc put many Of those splendid
country folk of France into misgiv-
ing state Of mind, ready for something
to happen; ready almost for a COM
promise. With the manufacturers Gail
laux played upon their dwindling ex-
port trade as an incentive to establish
ing peace, assuring them that Japan
would secure all of Frances export
trade if the war continued.
To the large financial interests, with
investments in Turkey, Russia, the Bal
kans-over all the world, as is the
French wont-Cai]laux hung out the
forbidding prospect of certain disaster
unless peace very shortly brought op-
portunity for them to retrench before
the world was drained of its fluid re.
sources and the people everywhere
PROSTATE in impecuniosity.
With dangerous if sophistical clever
ness he reasoned: ''lf we fight another
year, and at the end there is no victory,
VIC may have the glory, as at Verdun
but also we have death for our men and
ruin for our trade; if great help does
not come to her from America, France
will be finished at the end of 1e18-and
of what use will glory be to her and to
us then?"
And the seeds Caillaux sowed took
root, and some of them lowered; there
is no doubt of it, as is easily demon
strable by the single fac. that to such
deplorablc state had conditions come
in political France under the former
ministry that Caillaux actually had the
effrontery to believe he could return to

grammc!
Then Clemenceou
The selection Of Clcmcnceau at this
trying moment to form Cabinet
saved the day. His prompt action and
his clean patriotism have chccred flag
ging spirits and served to assuage the
peasant doubt which Caillaux raised.
For the Frcnohman, though intel
lectually a pcssimist, perhaps, is an
optimist at heart, and logical, if ana
lyticala member Of the most intcll
gent race in the world and perhaps the
most sensitive to the Significance and
the influence of patria.
He must, however, be handled under
standingly, or perhaps he goes to
pieces. lie is apt, through new light
and earnest meditation, to reason HIM
self into complete change of conduct
from that he has been pursuing;
complete face about. 1t was with this
quality that Cailaux trihcd when he
asked Frenchmen at the end of 1917,
with their own strength used up and
only death and glory remaining,
whether to continue fighting would not
in cold logic be "too great price to
pay for victory"
Whatever the revelations of the Gail
lauX trial of disloyalty, corruption or
pusillanimity among his political con
frercs, I believe they will be borne
with cquanimity. Caillaux has done his
worst, and failed. The people now look
toward Clemenceau as the Messiah,
confident in his intent and in his
strength to destroy treason and pacifist
propaganda and bring greater coordi-
nation into the management of the wa.
business.
But there is no denying that an
other change in the ministry would pre-
cipitate serious situation.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-20
Poilu and People

The polu of youthful years, who to-
day constitutes the fighting army Of
France, remained untouched by the
Caillaux pacitist blight-to the honor
and safety of France, be it said-but he
was growing restive under what he was
beginning to learn about "politics" in
Paris. Clemenceau came in time to
clear his doubts, but the outcome cf
such another period of such politics
and of change no one can foretell, for
the poilu has become aware of Gail
lauxism and of his long immunity un-
der the previous ministry because Of
the passivity-to use no stronger word
of the former Premier Painlcve. And
the poilu, the army, is the people, as
one of the wisest Of Frances sons re-
piled when asked what the people
thought and how they felt about the
frequent changes in the government.
New-York tribune., 1918-01-20
Five Reasons

In resume, then, Germany is planning
her blow, because
1st-She cannot wait; the pressure at
home is nsistent, and the pressure
Of the world, economic and other
wise, grows all the time.
9d-She believes France at the end Of
her man power.
3d-She remembers the panic of the
Painleve ministry, which stopped
Nivellc.
4th-She believes Caillaux has under
mined the spirit of France.
5th-She knows she must win, if ever,
before America comes in with all
her might.
Such are the circumstances and the
influences which, together with Pain
leve's astounding announcement in the
Chamber that hereafter the army would
"seek only limited objectives," impel
Germany to her most formidable attack
probably on the West front.

WANT NATURAL GAS
DENIED INDUSTRIES

Fifteen cities of Indiana and a num-
Der of Ohio cities which are consum-
ers of natural gas have joined in an
organization to make united demand
of the State Fuel Administrator, and
through him of National Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield. asking that classes
four and five comprising the manufac-
turers, as so designated by President
Wilson in a recent speech, be denied
the use of natural gas for the winter
and up to April l. This is considered
just by the organization which has
been formed as the manufacturers
have enough fuel of other kinds which
the resident consumers cannot afford
in many cases and in others cannot
obtain.

This would assure to each nation the

would suffer. President Wilson has
admitted the legitimacy of economic

dreds of cases are listed of men, who,

The whole question of how the mo-

Grown Prince Frederick William of
Germany arrived at Maastricht, on
Tuesday from Spa, having taken a cir
cuitous route in order to avoid mu
tinous troops. The party, which trav-
elled in three motor cars, was held up
by frontier guards because all its
members were armed. Internment
was ordered but when it became
known that one of the party was the
crown prince all were disarmed and
detained until the arrival of the Dutch
commander at Maastricht and other
officials.
The crown prince accompanied the
commander to the latter's home,
where he remains with his suite, un-

the work of the seven welfare organi-

Houston. THE total amount asked
for is great; but not greater than the
patriotism of the American farmers.
Every house that flies a service flag

success of this campaign. For every
