program was the subject of two re-
ports just presented to the house by

The report condemning the manner

defending the project was submitted
by Representative Lea. Democrat,
Both contain thousands Of words. q.
The majority report goes at length
into alleged extravagances beginning
with early aircraft appropriations and
ending with the closing out Of con-

Both reports devote prominent

CAILLAUX TRIAL
TO START IN
PARIS TODAY
Because Of Other Senate
Business Trial May Con-
tinue Three Months.

Paris. Feb. 17.-Joseph Caillaux,
former premier OF France, was plac-
ed on trial today before the senate.
sitting as a high court, charged with
conspiracy against his country in time
Of war. The trial opened at 2:40
o'clock, p. m. The accused man en-
tered the chamber accompanied by
three police officers. The roll call of
the court was at once taken up. There
was a large attendance, very few of
the senator's being absent.
History of the Trial.
Two years ago on January II. 1918.
for the first time in the history OF
the third republic of France. one Of
its former premiers. Joseph Caillaux.
was thrust into prison on the charge
of high treason and of endeavpring
to make premature and dishonor-
able peace with Germany For more
than 20 years he had been a power
in French political life. both as pre-
mier and minister Of finance. He
has expressed his determination to
his long detention has made inroads
upon his health. After AZ preiimin-
AIRY saEinks,, he. protested In vain
against the laws delay. Last Septem-
beE.S .SCAfftauxs was removed from his
Paris prison to a hospital at Neuilly.
The case against Caillaux Is some
what related to that against Bolo
Pasha, who was executed at Vincen-
mes as a spy in April. 1918 and M. Du-
val, editor of the Germanophile
newspaper Bonnet Rouge, who went
the following July.
Caillaux was not in the cabinet
when the war|began. He resigned
al offor Norch 1914 the Hav
his wife shot and killed CASTOR Call
mette, editor of Figaro. for accusing
Caillaux of having played into Ger
many's hands in settling the Moroc-
coan crisis of 1911. Louis J. Malvy,
a, close friend, was minister of the
interior at the time Caillaux resigned.
Malvy, it will be remem bered. was
later accused Of high treason and
tried in 1918 before the senate high
court. The treason charge was un-
proved but Malvy, a radical-social-
ist. was convicted of other offenses
and sentenced to five years Danish
ment from France. He is now an
exile in Spain. Through Malvy, it is
alleged, Caillaux directed affairs so
that the machinations charged
against him could be carried on.
Caillaux was suspected Of heading
a pacifist movement having as its OBJ
ject reconciliation between France
and Germany, suspicion which
became all the more serious by rea-
son Of the fact that German spies
were everywhere in France and were
believed to have penetrated into. the
councils Of the government. The
"defeatist' propaganda, intended to
break down the morale of the French
people by leading them to. believe
Germany was invincible. had wide
ramifications 1t reached from Paris
to Rome and from Rome to Wash
;ngton and Buenos Aires. Count
Won Ba-nstorff. formerly German
ambassador at Washington. was
charged with having spent more than
$4,000, 900 to create similar defeat
