Count Tsza, whose life IL reported

politics. 1t has been charged that Count

A Magyar and Hungarian TO the core.

PARIS, Nov. Tho Caillaux case
came formally before the High Court OF
Justice to-day. The opening of the trial
against the former Premier. who, 10 a.
legged to have attempted to realize his
own inordinate ambitions through the
downfall of his country. was very quiet,
being warped by the great events on the
fghting fronts and by the triumph OF
the very ideas and purposes he sought
to defeat. The public generally is in
different.
For those who always have regretted
the unhappy circumstances which linked
the name OF the country with the In
famous scandals and defeats OF the last
two years, the Caillaux trial comes as
a reminder Of an odlous period In the
nations history. Happily the influences
represented by Caillaux and his follow
ers have disappeared from tho political
horizon of France. Frenchmen OF all
classes feel that the least said about
the case the better for the country.
