Former Prisoner of War at Ft.

Ex-Premier CaiIIaux.
COURT MARTIAL RESUMED

Paris, Feb. 20.--A two-hour Sc
cret session marked the resumption
of the treason trial of former Pre-
mier Joseph Caillaux before the SEN
ate sitting as a high court of JUS
tice in Luxembourg palace today.
Public interest was even higher
than 1t had been at the opening ses-
sion on Tuesday and large crowds
sought admission to the spectators
galleries when they were opened to
the public at the end of the secret
session.
nj. Caillalx was faultlessly dressed
and carried gloves when he was
brought to court from prison. He
was calm and smiled to acquaint-
ances.
The court convened at 1 O'Clock,
but it was not until that the pub
lie was admitted.
The eX-premier's face was pallid,
evidently from his long confinement
in prison. He carried a mass of
documents under his arm. When he
replied to questions by the court his
tone was firm and clear.
M. Cahlaux was examined with
regard to his trip to South America
and his relations with James Mi
MOTTO, son-in-la of Louis f. Swift,
of Chicago, who in 1918 was in
termed in the United States as an
enemy alien. M. Caillaux said his
prewar policy, which was being
termed by his enemies as policy
of rapprochment with Germany,.w was
not that, but was a policy of "Eu-
ropean conciliation." He declared he
never heard of Count Karl Won Lux
burg, former German minister to
Argentina, until five days before he
left on his journey to South Amer
lea. While in South America, M.
CaillauX said, he had always told
those around him that the Berlin
policy was imprudent and un-
mannerly.
