" WAGE EIGHT CAILLAUX GOES ON TRIAL IN PARIS ON CHARGE OF TREASON Was Former Premier of French Republic; Clemenceau Tricked the Master —_— (By United Press) Paris, Feb. 17.—The trail of Joseph Caillaux, former premier of France, charged with high treason—or para- phrased through courtesy as ‘‘plot- ting against. the external safety of the state—was to be called today be- fore the High Court of the French senate. The penalty on conviction usually is death. The trial probably will be the last of importance in the long series of court proceedings connected with the complicated drama of treason and in- trigue by which the French govern- ment charged such men as Bolo Pasha, Louis J. Malvy, Pierre Lenoire and Caillaux attempted to carry on a defeatist campaign when Germany was battering hardest at the gates of Verdun. They wanted Germany to come so near to winning the war that Caillayx, as leader of the enemies of the administration at Paris, might be called to preserve the republic, thus embarrassing Premier Clemenceau. Trial of Caillaux was decided upon on September 16 last by the French senate committee investigating the defeatist movement. The basis of the charges against the former premier, as summed up in the formal report of the senatorial committee—corres- ponding to an indictment ip Ameri- can court procedure—follows: “Political notes discovered in a Florence safe throw a flood ot light on M. Caillaux’s real intentions. They prove he had conceived a plan to seize power when, on making the public believe the Germans were going to take Verdun and win the war, his followers would put him for- ward as France’s savior. He had taken every measure to secure this result. These documents cannot form the basis of a change but justice has the right and it is its duty to take account for them.” % The in#iétment then pictures Cail- laux from the time he left the army as a paymaster, in which he had en- listed a few months previous, and fol- lows him thorugh' all his plottings. It shows him with an infinite capaci- ty and desire for labor, but always directed to the ends of his unscrupu- tous ambitions. He said he went to South America on an obscure mission for the gov- ernment and while there met Count Luxburg, German ambassador, and gave him his views on the war for transmission to the German govern- ment. Then came his operations with Marx of Mannheim, who, it was al- leged, htrnlshed cash toward the de- v . 1 = —_—— out our entire stock at once that the Chas.

Then there were implica-! tions of a collision with Bolo Pasha. It was Clemenceau who tricked the master plotter. He started off with a speech in the senate against Malvy, minister of finance, who has backed by Caillaux. One after another of the alleged traitors fell under the merciless expose by the administra. tion until on January 13, 1918, atter he had piled up volumes of evidence againts himself during his testimony in the trials of-Malvy, Humbert, Bolo and others, he was arrested and lodged in the Prison De Sante, charg- ed with treason.
