Washington, Jan. 16.-From itsmys
terious stock Of intercepted diplomatl
communications, the state department
today published correspondence be
tween Count Won Bernstorff, forme
German ambassador here, and the Ber
4 lin foreign office, showing that former
Premier Caillaux, of France, was il
communication with German agents il
Argentina in 1915
The state department also made
public censorship order to German
I newspapers forbidding the use of Gail
laux's name in German papers.
The first Bernstorff dispatch con.
tanned very damaging references tc
Caillaux's references to the French
government, and warned German news
papers against praising him. Another
gave notice of the ship on which Gail
laux was sailing for Argentina, and
planned its capture by submarines.
The capture of the ship was sought
because her captain carried important
papers. The German agent was asked
to treat Caillaux with every courtesy
and consideration if the ship was taken
Following is the text of the message
sent by Bernstorff:
"Buenos Aires telegraphed the fol-
lowing:
"'Caillaux has left Buenos Aires af-
ter short stay, and is going direct to
France, evidently on account of the
(group undescipherable) scandal which
he regards as personal attack upon
himself. He speaks contemptuously
of the president and the rest of the
French government, with the excep-
tion of BRAND. He sees through the
policy of England perfectly. He does
not anticipate the complete overthrow
of France. He sees in the war now a
struggle for existence on the part of
England. Although he spoke of the
"indiscretions and clumsy policy" of
the Wilhelmstrasse, and refused to be-
lieve in German atrocities, he has, in
essentials, hardy changed his political
caillaux Welcomed indi-
rect scouflesles 81 but apha-
sized the extreme eautiss ~
obliged 70 show, as the French govern
ment, he SAID, had him watched even
here. He warns us against the excess
sive praise bestowed upon him by our
papers, especially the Neue Freie
Presse, and desired on the other hand
that the Mediterranean and Morocco
agreements should be adversely criti-
cised. Our praise Injuries his position
in France. Caillaux's reception here
was cool. His report about Brazil had
nothing new. On his return to France
he will, to begin with, reside in his own
constituency. He fears Paris and the
fate of Juares BERNSTORFF."
Another message which Won Bern
storff had forwarded from Havana, as
follows:
"Tol, Rio de Janeiro telegraphs
steamer Araguaya left Buenos Aires
January 30. The captain is carrying
important papers. Capture very de-
sirable. Caillaux is on board. In case
of capture, Caillaux should in an unob-
trusive way be treated with courtesy
and consideration. Can you inform
o. cruisers? BERNSTORFF."
The instructions of the German CEN
sorship to the German press on June
16, 1917, follows:
"For political reasons it is urgently
requested that nothing be written
about former French prime minister
Caillaux, and that his name be not
under any circumstances"
This correspondence, although no
official announcement to that effect is
available, was made public by arrange
ment with the French government,
Caillaux now is waiting trial in
France for treason on revelations de-
veloped by the celebrated Bolo Pasha
case.
Former Premier Caillaux was re-
Gently placed under arrest in Paris by
order of the French government, which
At the time announced that this action
lad been taken after advices from Sec
-etary of State Lansing, at Washing
ON, clearly indicating that the former
French leader had been in communica-
ion with German agents. Caillaux's
rial on charges of aiding the enemy
md having had relations with enemy
.gents has long been sought by oppo-
lents of the former leader in France
