FRENCH PREMIER ARRESTED
Information Furnished by Secretary
Lansing Causes Arrest of For
mer Premier.

Paris.-The arrest Of former Pre-
mier Caillaux was due principally to
a cablegram from Secretary Lansing
at Washington saying that in 1915 M.
Caillaux had been in communication
with the Berlin foreign office.
Secretary Lansings cablegram stat
ed that the American representative
at Buenos Aires had been able to es-
tablish that NJ Caillaux, during his
visit to Argentina in 1915, had been
in communication with the Berlin
foreign office through Count Won Lux
burg, then minister to Argentina,
with the object of concluding peace
with Germany at any price, so as to
permit resumption of business. 1t is
understood this evidence will be pub
lished in America Immediately.
The investigation of the Italian
connections of former Premier Gail
laux Is said by the Matin to have re-
suited in the discovery of important
military and political papers in the
safe of the bank at Florence, which
was rented under the maiden name
of Madame Caillaux and used by the
former premier during his visit to
Italy in December, 1916.

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic of grip
which has visited SO many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run

which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-

PLAN TO REGISTER
MEN REACHING q
ADMINISTRATION BILLS INTRO
DUcEp BY CHAMBERLAIN AT
REQUEST OF WAR DEPT.
DROPS PLAN TO RAISE LIMIT
One Bill viii Provide for Furlough-
ing Men to do Agricultural Work.
Age Limit Will Not Be
Raised.

Washington.-At the request Of the
War Department Chairman Chamber
lain of the Senate military committee
has introduced a bill for the registra-
tion for military duty of all men who
have become q years old since June
5, 1917. when the draft law went into
effect.
In determining upon the registra-
ton of men who have become 21
since the draft law was enacted, the
War Department has rejected any
plan to raise the age limits of the
draft to take in men more than 81.
Another bill which Senator Cham
berlain introduced at the request OF
the administration will provide for
furloughing national army men for
harvesting crops and other agricul-
tural duty.
Another bill will put the quota OF
the States on the basis of available
men in the first class instead of on
population.
Registration of men who have be-
come of age since the draft law was
enacted was referred in the recent Re
port of Provost Marshal General
Crowder, one of the means by which
a supply of men for the national army
might be assured without taking
those who might have others depend
ent upon them. 1t could be done also,
the provost marshal general pointed
I,Hv ov%n tnu hn
above the present line of 81. The
War Department had adopted the
first suggestion. 1t is estimated that
it will add about 100000 men to the
draft availa bles each year.
Congressman have been advised
that further legislation would be
necessary to perfect and carry Gil the
draft, and the passage of Senator
Chamberlain's bill, with administra-
ton support, is expected promptly in
both houses
Another bill introduced by Senator
Chamberlain provides distinctive
badge or button for exempted men.
The bill changing the basis of
State quota is believed to provide
more equitab BILE system, as it will ex-
clude entirely enemy aliens from the
basis Enemy aliens were included
in the basis for the first draft and
there was much complaint.
The bill to permit troops to go to
agricultural work merely would au-
thorize the Secretary of War to fur
Tough men for civilian duty. 1t is
known, however, that the War De-
partment intends to use the author
ity principally to provide men for
harvest time and other agricultural
work vital to the food supply

have expressed the desire that Swe-

Britain, France and Italy.
Unofficial reports of the first ses-
sion of the peace negotiations at Brest-

that Leon Trotsky, Bolsheviki foreign

reported to have told the German and
Austrian delegates that if they did
not accede to his request they would
feel the weight of the arms of the

With the American Army in France.
Because of the law that does not
permit any but citizens Of the United
States to become officers in the
American army, it has become neces-
sary to refuse the offer of a Russian
officer, representing a large number
of brother Russian officers in France,
to place q group of officers at the
disposal of Gen. Pershing, to be used
as he might see fit. The decision also
affects the plan of the United States
army to take over the Russian army
in France, to be utilized as labor
army at the same rate of pay as the
American labor battalions.
Many of the Russian officers would
have proved of great value to the
American forces as instructors, avi-
ators and interpreters. When their
representative was informed by the
American officials that it would be
impossible to grant the request of
