in view of the fact that Caillaux has
been confined for a long period while
awaiting trial.

Action Friday.

Washington, May lo.-Republican
leaders in the house agreed today.
to accept the peace resolution
adopted by the senate as substi-
tute for the house resolution and de-
cided tentatively to call it up Friday
for final action.
Discussion of the treaty and the
league of nations flared up again in
the senate today, Senator Borah, re-
publican, of Idaho, asserting that
the leagues influence in Europe had
been supplanted by that of the su-
preme council.
The attractiveness of the United
States treasury as source OF reve-
nue. for the financing of future Eu-
ropean wars was the only reason for
the continued effort to entice this
country into the league, he declared.
"The great moving power behind
the league from the beginning has
been international finance" Senator
Borah said.
Senator Thomas, democrat. Colo
rado, said the league seemed to be
getting along splendidly" without
the United States and added that he
knew the United States treasury
offers a great temptation to the rest
of the world" and would make this
country an attractive member"
