grams dealing directly with former
Premier CaulliaX and sent by former
German Ambassador Count Won Bern
storff to the German government were
made public by the state department
today. 1t was as a result of these

nished the French government by
Secretary OF State Lansing, that the
arrest of the French former premier
took place a day or so ago.
The two kilograms were sent by
BernstOrif 10 the German foreign Of
flee on February 4, 1915 Their tone
indicates that Caulliax was bitterly
opposed to the French government
and in the first of them Bernstorff de-
clares that he (CaulliaX) Speaks con-
tempuously of the French govern
ment."
Bernstorff also assures the Ger
man government in this telegram that
Caulliax secs through the policy of
England perfectly" and also that he
sees in the war now the struggle of
England for existence
The department i'm addition to the
telegram also made public a state
ment by the German foreign office on
June 6, 1916
This latter statement is most sig
nificant inasmuch as it apparently was
| designed for the protection Of Caul-
/ LAX from German newspaper criti-
cism. 1t says: For political reasons
it is urgently requested that nothing
be written about the French former
prime minister Caulliax and that his
name be not mentioned under any cir
cumstances.'
