The Significance
OF Loustalot' S Trip

The talk seems to have been on the
possibility Of a separate peace with
France. under terms have already
mentioned in previous article, terms
communicated to Senator Humbert, of
lie Journal" by Munir Pacha. former
Turkish ambassador to France. Lous-
talot, confronted with this evidence,
insists that he went frankly to learn
what sort Of a proposition the ex-
Khedive had 20 make, and that when
he returned ne freely communicated
his adventure to his colleagues in the
Chamber. This is true, though at that
time the light Of investigation had
not yet been turned on the possible sig
nitcance of Loustalot's trip. Did he
make it as Caillaux's envoy? The en-
Premier denies having any connection
with the Deputy's private little ma
nuuvrc in Switzerland. Yet it is GER
tan that the thing that obtained for
Loustalot the privilege of an audience
with the eN-khedive was his free use
of Caillaux's name and the consequent
Importance he obtained from this as
ISOLATION.
The whole situation is brought out
even more clearly by the visit Of Gail
laux to Italy the following month.

Charges Suggest More
Than They Reveal

The charges against Callaux consti-
tute a formidable list, as drawn up by
VI. Ignacc, Under Secretary of Military
Justice. They are more formidable as
to the vague possibilities they suggest
concerning the eXPremicrs ma
nnuvres in Italy than in their immcdi-
ate contents. The points have been

helped to lend authority to the Clemen-
ceau government to cause CallauX's
arrest.
l In the homes of almost all the
10 traitors and near-traitors whose
names were grouped around the "Bon-
ret Rouge" scandal, the Bolo schemes
and the Oriental army affair were
found letters from Caillaux that leave
no doubt of his intimacy with them. A
close reading of such of these letters
as have been made public does not re-
veal Caillaux as a scheming leader of
a band of plotters. But they are a part
of the evidence, small fraction, which
vaguely points out Caillaux as aware
Of the existence in France of a sort of
legitlmatiZed corporation OF treachery.

General Antipathy
Felt for His Power

The end of the famous Clemenceau-
Caillaux duel is in sight. Honesty and
straight dealing have won. Clemen-
ceau has made mistakes in his long
career, but he has never by any GEES
ture caused doubt concerning the
strength of his devotion to his coun-
try. To that overpowerng sentiment
of patriotism must be attributed his
present attempt to bring to justice, not
his personal enemy, but man he con-
siders an enemy of France.
The figure of Cailaux will tempt his
torians of the future. Throughout his
career he has aroused interesting antip-
athies not to be explained entirely By
his bold, assertive personality. 1t was
in general an antipathy to the power
of the man, an atmosphere that he cul-
tivated Of control and superiority over
all those in contact with him. lie has
never tried on big principles to teach
and guide the public His method lay
rather in dealing with individuals and
accomplishing his purposes through
power, not appeal
The present moment is the test Of his
strength Around him will rally forces
he has always controlled, and, in addi-
ton. new creeds, unworthy by-products
OF the war: paciists, agitators, sus-
poets.

Lithuanians

NJ. S.-P!easa give me few facts
about Lithuania and the history Of it's
people. the Lithuanans.
IithUania is region in Western
Europe which in the Middle Ages con-
stltutcd EN- Independent realm grand
prlncipahty), united in 1869 with Pc
land into a single commonwealth. and
on the dismemberment of Poland
l1772, 1913. 1850 passed mainly to
Russia. AT the time of the partition
OF the Polish monarchy it extended
from Courland and Livonia on the
north TO No.hynia and the Ukraine OH
the south, and from Poland and East
Prussia on the west TO beyond the
Dnleper on the east. Its area was then
Approximately 100000 square miles.
The Lithuanian country proper is tho
land between The Lower Dwina and the
Niemen. Since 1910 the use of the
term has been forbidden IN Russian
Official language. but il is still com
monty employed to include Kovno,
Grodno, Nina and Suyalki govern
mcnts. The whole number of Lithua-
mans in Russia. according to the Ger,
sus OF 1897, was 3.094,f 1853. This num-
Der includes the Let's, Samogetians, or
Zhmud and the 100000 Boruss JAMS OF
the same origin inhabiting Russia.
Little Is known about the origin &C
the Lithuanians. and nothing known.
about the time of their appearance in
the country they now inhabit. From
the tenth century they have been di-
vided into the three chief branches Of
il Lithuanians proper, p Let's or
latvis, 80 Prussians. The Prussiana
have always apparently been confined
TO the Baltic coast near the Lower Wis.,
tula, chiefly to the east of the river;
they have been wholly absorbed by
German influences. The Let's, pushed
toward the north. have been largely
mingled with iha Livonians and Esth-
onians. The LitAuanians proper joined
with the Poles and FELL together with
them under Russian sway. The
Lithuanian tongue has great affinities
with the Slavonlc, but cannot be con-
s.dered a Slavonic language: it is by
Ear the most archaic Of all living Aryan
tongues. Before the union with Pc
land lbegan in 1856 and consummatei
in l569) the Lithuanians were either
pagan or Greek Orthodox The Polish
connection established the ascendancy
Of Roman Catholicism.

ferred to the articles on this subject

of the Bonnet Rouge" editorials, some
OF which were already manifcsting the

Attempt to Turn
Tables on Clemenceau

1t became evident, then, by the 10th,
four days after the beginning of pro-
ceedings, that the minds of the COM
missioners were not only upset by the
irreconcilablc conflict between the
statements made by Clemenceau and
Caillaux, but also that they were losing
the sense of certainty that they had
possessed in the first heat of their as
sumption of duty.
One commissioner said he believed
that Clemenceau had played joke on
the lot Of them. Others began to feel
that the accusations, so far as they
were maintained by the Dubal docu-
ment and by other supplementary evil
dence, had fallen fiat. Minds began to
wander back to the Dreyfus case, when
the "industrie de faux" the fabrica-
ton OF false papers, was as proficient
as it proved dangerous to the hunt
ed man. The commissioners finally
reached that point in their doubt where
they began to feel it necessary to call
BRAND and Clemenccau and galaxy
of leaders from whom they might OBJ
tain points Of guidance
The situation was more complicated
for moment by polemic started by
CaillauX supporters and aiming at
nothing less than the conviction Of
Clemenceau for the very accusation
that he was aiming at CailauX This
statement was published by NJ. Sembat,
Deputy from Paris. in "I'uumanite."

The E.x-khedive

that ex-Deputy Cavallini, of Rome,
win whom Bolo had arranged several

Nearly Has His Way
With the Commission

On December IA the commission Of
eleven had its first meeting In the
morning Clemcnceau appeared before
1t and left for it's consideration papers
taken from the folios of Foreign Al
falrs. These papers were French prop
erty but the Prime Minister added
there were other documents belonging
to foreign powers that could be sub
united only after the actual arrest Of
Ealllaux. He was probably referring
then to the Argentine kilograms and
the revelations they contain concerning
Calllaux's connection with Luxburg
and the underground channels Of com
munlcetion with Wihelmstrasse. In
the afternoon Loustalot was heard till
D O'CLOCK CaillauX WAS then called,
and he answered questions that centred
about his connection with the "Bonnet
Rouge" His hearing continued during
both sittngs Of the following day.
While the proceedings were kept secret
there were the inevitable leaks. which
revealed that Caillaux was getting away
with the commissioners and Indicating
more and more successfully that il
there was guilt he was not the man to
fasten 1T on. He almost succeeded in
satisfying those who heard him that
his relationship with Bolo and his kind
real. identity.
One comic element in the procedure
was the accusation against Caillaux
contained i'll the generals statement
that he approved an article by AL
mcrcyda entitled "Ah! Ces Anglais,"
con! Those Englishmen! and pub
llshed in the Bonnet Rouge" on Sep
tember "a, 1915. Dubail asserts that
this article contains q yelled denuncia-
ton of the English, and especially of
Lloyd George. Caillaux asked the COM
mlssloners to read the article in ques-
ton. 1t was read and measured care
fully, and, no matter how turned. it
proved strong appreciation and praise
OF the English and their vigorous in
come tax as initiated by Lloyd George.
1t might be said here that one Of the
main reasons for Caillaux's unpopular.
lty with the moneyed classes in France
IS his attempt before the war to intro
duce a similar, though much weaker
tax. ! refrain from translating the ar
ticle here, much as I should like to.

"A NJ OST children have too many
VA toys; consequently they are
not stirred to make toys for
themselves, and their powers Of inven-

classes of toys-uscful and useless.
Those are useful which answer the
needs Of child-lifc. A ball is most
useful toy, because it is about the first
a child can play with. All mothers

Next comes the building stage, with

Doll Plays Important Part
The doll also plays an important part
in children's lives, for it answers the
instinct for nurture which is Unborn in

TOO many at once, are most useful.
Children also need sets of dishes with
