Escapes Conviction Of High Treason
But Was Found to Have Been
ReckiessIy lmprudent in Time
Of War;

Paris.-Joseph Caillaux. former pre-
mier Of France and twice minister Of
finance, stands convicted of having
placed his personal political ambition
during the war higher than the inter-
ests of the country that honored him
and gave him birth. Caillaux, while
escaping conviction for high treason,
was found to have been recklessly i'm
prudent and very close to reasonable
ambitions, for such Is the interpreta-
ton of the verdict of guilty of COM
merce and correspondence with the
enemy" which was rendered on April
-, against him by the French senate.
This is the first verdict of the sort
rendered in any of the allied cOun-
tries since the war began-commerce.
as interpreted by the senators who
were the judges. not meaning finan-
cial trading but commerce by means
of common ideas, while "cOrrespOn-
dence" in this particular case is en-
plOyed in the sense of association.
The prosecution in the case brought
forth evidence to show that Nj. Cali
laux, during the war, had been in
touch with individuals such as the ex-
| ecuted BOlO Pasha, who were known
to be German agents or persons who
had dealings with the Germans.
Stress was laid on trips he had paid
to South America and Italy. in which.
it was alleged, he had cOnsorted with
persons whose affiliations were inim-
ical to allied success in the war.
| Premier Clemenceau had Caillaux
arrested on January IA, 1918, and he
had thus been imprisoned. or under
detention as patient in a hospital for
more than two years when he was
brought to trial before the senate, sit
ting as high court, on February II

ARMENIA ONCE. WAS MIGHTY
Almost Crushed by the Religion OF
Islam, Its People Learned
How to Bend"

Armenia, now regarded as a country
full of starving, oppressed people, was
once great state-one of the few
ancient people never Hellenized, &C.
cording to history. Emerging from ira
dition, distinct Armenian people
appeared 1000 b. c., dwelling on the
tablelands near Mt. Ararat. Having
no boundaries, the state was seldom
independent, but was subjugated in
turn by Babylonia, the Modes and
Persians, the Seleucidae and the Ro-
mans. +
However, conquest meant little more
than tribute in those days. In the
early middle ages, called in the west
the dark ages, Armenia attained its
highest position through Christianity.
In 30 A. D. Gregory the nluminator,
arose and attached himself to TirSda-
ties, who soon became king. After
much persecution, Gregory christian
lied the whole state. Then, in the
seventh century, Armenia met its
worst enemy, the religion of Islam.
In the old days the state stretched
from the Caspian sea to the Mediter-
ranean, and the other boundaries ebb-
ed and flowed according to those left

When attacking a fortified village
they would prepare pans of glowing

Homes Of Birds Don't Change.

Styles with the creatures out Of

birds this spring will be exactly like
those they built last year. They make
no advances and no improvements, de-
clares George F. Burba in the Colum-

A robin wouldn't learn to build a
nest like the oriole In million years.
The orioles nest seems to be the best
of all the birds homes. 1t is woven
and knitted and suspended from a
swinging limb high up in tree
away out where nothing can get to it.
Even a squirrel would have a hard
time getting to an orioles nest and a
cat couldn't do so at all. A boy can't
get out to where it is, for it is al
