about the only hold the Hohenzollern family had
upon the German masses. Joachim was the only

time while there was yet hope that the dynasty
could be saved it was proposed to make him

oAII1Aux CONVICTED.

Caillaux, once premier< OF France,
has been found guilty Of commerce
and corresponding with the enemy.
The case concluded is perhaps the
most dramatic one in France since
the Dreyfus affair. A Question still
remains as to whether it may not
develop a last act analogous to that
of the Dreyfus affair.
Caillaux was definitely acquitted Of
the charge of high treason. What he
was convicted upon was a charge Of
commerce and correspondence with
the enemy" The news dispatches
add, however. that Commerce was
interpreted by the French senators
not to mean commerce in any ipan-
cial sense. but commerce through the
possession Of similar fdcas. GORE
spondence" was interpreted not in
its epistolary sense. but in the sense
of association. This would seem to
involve an extraordinarily generous
Interpretation of words that ordi-
narily possess a specific meaning.
II the present meager data be ac-
curate. it would appear that Caillaux.
was being punished for taking an at
titude which might be likened to that
Of a certain United States senator, or
Giolotti in Italy, or Narghiloman in
Roumania. All of these men could
be convicted of commerce" with the
enemy, if the word N''commerce" were
interpreted to NEAR that they held
ideas which were very similan to
some ideas held in Germany. Per-
haps more substantial evidence
against Caillaux has been adduced,
but il thai is SO, one wonders why it
Is not given to the public. Unless
more evidence is shown, it is quite
likely that III French senator's have
only made a martyr out of Caillaux.
Some ~Frenchmen declare that it was
the entrance of the United States into
the war that destroyed Caillaux. The
former premier foresaw the fall of
Russia, failed to foresee the entrance
OF America, concluded the var was
lost, and promptly entered upon a
~defeatist campaign, which was i'm
mensely vexatious, and for which he
was rewarded very justly by a term
or imprisonment. But had not
America entered the war, these
Frenchmen declare, Caillaux would
have been quite right, in his reason
ing. France would have been
doomed. That Caillaux was guilty. of
criminal folly is obvious enough, but
until further evidence is given to the
press it is difficult to see that he was
guilty of anything more serious than
that' The French senators W. it to
themselves, as we'll as to the French
people, to lay all the facts before
the public. otherwise. they may find
Caillaux to be another Dreyfus.-

imaginative tradition ascribes to the
trial of witches. The sheriff. threw
the suspected beldame into the horse

1t proved her g%uiltless Of any COM
pact with Satan. If she floated, woe
to her! The hand Of ,Beelzebub got
the credit and the unfortunate lady

that she had escaped.

MONDAY MORNING. APRIL Is
THAT BADGE OF SACRIFICE

Chairman Good of the house APP
preparations committee Is opposed 10
bonus being granted to the service
men at this time. He declares that
the government has already appro-
priated large sums for the benefit OF
the returned soldiers, chiefly along
the line of hospital treatment and
vocational training, and adds "The
greatest badge the American soldier
will ever wear will be the badge of
sacrifice and not the badge of bonus
Very good, the vocational training
as tar as it goes is an excellent thing.
There have been criticisms in plenty
its administration, but the plan is
sound at the base, and if properly
carried out may be made Of much
benefit.
As to the hospital treatment the
soldier may perhaps be pardoned If
due. Even among the most savage
tribes. the men who are wounded in
war are cared for by the community,
and in giving the soldiers proper hos
pital treatment the government has
merely been acting according to the
ordinary dictates of humanity. and
carrying out its contract entered into
with the soldier at the time he en-
listed. or vas indicted into the serv-
ice.
But as to the badge of sacrifice"
with which Mr.. Good would have
the soldiers be content, a few re-
marks may be in order. 1t is very
easy to admire the beauties of sacri-
flee when some one else is making
the sacrifice. When one makes 1t
himself, after a while the beauties
are apt to pail. The soldier who went
through the campaign in France, en-
during the hardships inseparable
from war, did so in most cases will
ingly enough. He sacrificed much.
Now he feels that it is time for men
such as Mr.. Good who remained COM
8fortably at home to make a few sac
rifices which will be very trifling
compared with those which he him
self made.
A recent cartoon in the American
Legion Weekly shows the civilian
capitalist and laborer riding COM
fortably in the automobiles purchased
from their var profits or war wages,
while the soldier with his pack walks
and no one seems disposed to give
him a lift.
This cartoon is largely justified by
the facts. While the soldier was
serving in France and undergoing the
worst of hardships and receiving
wages averaging about $3.50 per day.,
both capitalists and laborers who re-
NAMED in this country were in many
receiving the largest returns
they a eyer known.
Now surely it ia not unreasonable
thai the men who pore the heaviest
burdens. met the grayest dangers and
experienced the MOST severe hard
ships Of the war and received the
smallest compensation, should ask
that they be given a small share Of
the plenty which their sacrifice Sc
cured for those who stayed at home.
