CAILLAUX TRIAL
TO TAKE PLACE
ON FEBRUARY 11
PARIS, Jan. 15 (by Associated
^Press).—The trial of Joseph Caillaux,
former premier of France, on the
charge of having planned to bring
about a dishonorable peace, has been
set for February 17.
Two years ago on January 14, 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 endeavoring to make a premature
and dishonorable peace with Germany.
For more than 20 years he had been
a power in French political life, both
as premier and minister of finance.
He has expressed his determination
to “fight to the last ditch” although
*his long detention has made inroads
upon his health. After 44 preliminary
hearings, he protested in vain against
the law’s delay. Last September Cail
laux was removed from his Paris
prison to a hospital at Neuilly.
The case against Caillaux is some
what related to that against Bolo
Pcsha, who was executed at Vincen
nes as a spy in April, 1918, and M.
Duval, editor of the Germanophile
newspaper Bonnet Rouge, who went
his death for similar treachery the
following July.
Caillaux was not in the cabinet
when the war began. He resigned
shortly after March 16, 1914, the day
his wife shot and killed Gaston Cal
mette, editor of Figaro, for accusing
Caillaux of having played into Ger
many’s hands in settling the Moroc
c^an crisis of 1911. Louis J. Malvy,
a close friend, was minister of the
interior, at the time Caillaux re
signed. Malvy, it will remembered,
was later accused of nffeh 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 banish
ment from France. He is now an
exile in Spain. Through Malvy, it
is alleged. Caillaux directed affairs
30 that the machinations charged
against him could be carried on.
Caillaux was suspected of heading
a pacifist movement having as its
object a reconciliation between France
and Germany, a suspicion w'hich be
came all the more serious by reason
of the fact that German spies wrere

lived to have penetrated into the coun
cil# of the government. The “de
featist” propoganda, intended to break
down the morale of the French people
by leading them to believe that Ger
many was invincible, had wide ram
ifications. It reached from Paris to
Rome and from Rome to Washington
and Buenos Aires. Count Von Bern
storff, formerly German ambassador
at Washington was charged with
having spent more than $2,000,000 to
^create similar ‘defeatist” conditions
Italy.
Upon the acquittal of his wife, and
his retirement from politics, Caillaux
went to war, serving in the paymas
ter’s department of the French army,
tyithin two months he was in trouble
the British officers and, subse
quently, with his own military super
iors in Paris for which he was punish
ed. Released from service he sailed
in November 1914, for South Ameri
ca and passed most of the winter in
Argentinea. While in Buenos Aires,
it was said, he conferred with Count
Karl von Luxburg, the German min
ister, who will be recalled as the
author of a to the German
nAforeign office Jesting the U-boats
to “sink without trace” all Argen
tine ships, the vessels of a neutral
power.
Caillaux returned to France and
was next heard from two years later
in Italy. He was reported to have
gone there in November 1916 with
Mrs. Caillaux, for a rest. The Rome
correspondent of the London Times,
the following month, charged Cail
laux was trying to “plan a separate
pence movement among Germano
phffes in the Vatican and in Italian
aristocracy.”
Color was given to this accusa
tion. by a report sent to Premier
Briand by Admiral de Saint Pair, then
French naval attache at Rome, in
which he said that Caillaux, at a two
hour conference with ex-Minister of
the Colonies Martini and other nota
ble Italians, spoke of his return to
power in France. He predicted, it
was said, that by the spring of 1916,
the Clemenceau and other war min
istries would collapse, he would ^take
the helm of state and sign a seper
ate peace. According to Saint Pair,
Caillaux promised the Italians that
"the whole world will be astonished
by the advantages Germany will ac-1
*
,
cord to Italy and France.” All the
cost of the war would "be uorne by
Russia and the Balkan states.
“What does Germany require?” he
was quoted as having said to Martini.!
“A road to Bagdad, which she has
just conquered, a big Bulgaria and a:
big European Turkey”. As soon as;
peace was signed he was alleged toi
have said, France would draw up an
alliance with Germany. Italy and
Spain against Russia and England
which he characterized as really eni
mies of France.
The Admiral charged that Caillaux
had communicated with certain pre
lates in the Vatican and informed
them that if Italy signed a separate
peace, France would be obliged to
do the same. He even promised,
Saint Pair, wrote, the re-establish
ment of the diplomatic relations be
tween France and the holy see upon
his return to power. It was as a re
sult of these revelations that the
French Chamber of Deputies, by a
vote of 417 to 2, decided £hat Cail
laux’s immunity as a deputy repre
senting the department of Sarthe,
should be suspended and he be re
quired to stand trial on the charge
of high treason.
Shortly after Caillaux’s visits
abroad the “defeatist” propaganda
became more pronounced in France
and Italy. The year 1917 with its
initial burst of hope for France, was
followed by a great wave of depres
sion in that country. A similar phen
omenon was observable in Italy. Oct
tober of that year witnessed the di
saster of Caporetto, in which 250,000
Italians fell a prey to the Austrians,
resulting in the retreat to the Piave.
Later, a Commission of Inquiry in its
report, admitted that propaganda
