Duyal editor of the Germansphile
paper Bonnet Rouge, who went to his
death in July, that it must be con
sdered with them.
Caillaux was not III the cabinet
when the war war began in 1914. He
had resigned after Editor Calmette
had been shot and killed by Nine Call
laux en- March IS, 1914, after Calmette
however. played Germnys hand in
settling the Moroccan crisis in 1911.
Although he was not a part of the
government however, he had a former
close friend in the government. This
man was Louis j Malvy, Minister of
the Interior, who is now on trial be-
fore the French senate Through him,
it is alleged Caillaux directed affair
so that the Vaccinations charged
against him could be carried on.
When the French people began to
take stock Of the situation in the fall
of 1914 it was found that German spies
were everywhere in France and had
penetrated into the councils of the
goyernm emit AT the same time, a paci-
fist movement gained Roadway having
as its object a reconciliation between
France and Germany Soon after, the
"defeatist" propaganda became men
acing This tended to break down the
spirit Of the French people by leading
them to believe they were in help
less situation before Germany.
In the meantime, Bolo Jasha, had
been at work and CaillauX had made
several trips to Italy and one voyage
to Buenos Aires. In Italy he met GER
tain statesment and at Buenos Aires,
it is said, he conferred with Count Won
Luxburg, the German Minister
he chief prosecutor of German spies
during this period seemed to be Gen
eral Dubail, the military governorof
of Paris, who was relentless in his de-
mands that the government take
strong steps to clear the centers of
German intrigue in France. This in
sistence finally came to a head with
the open charge that Louis j. Malvy
had aided the Bonnet Rouge managers
i'll their "defeatist" campaign. The
Ribot Ministry fell and was succeeded
by the Painleve regime. The new Min
lister of the Interior also failed to
come up to expectations and the
French people, now throughly awake
to their danger, brought about the fall
of Painleve. Then Georges Clemenc-
uea came to the office of Premier.
Immediately afterward he secured
evidence which brought about the ar
rest Of CaillauX on Jan. IA last. French
detectives raided safe deposit box
in Florence, Italy, Bank which are
held under the maiden name of Nine

securities worth fortune and docu-

the prosector, that Caillaux had plann-
ed a return to power, after which he
was to conclude peace with Germany
and effect an alliance between France,

Soon after, Secretary of Safe
Lansing published the famous Won
AlXburg kilograms and it Ltecame
known that among the Luxburg pap

which were turned over to the French
government. Mr.. Lansing has never
broken his silence on this point in the
case.
