DUDLEY) I'ubiigiier of the Griffin Newt) Correspondent Attached to Brigade Headquarters. Camp Wheeler—Days at Camp Wheeler are divided Into periods and most o them moan periods of work ior everybody in camp. Today the battalions were divided into war strength companies oT 150 men each and dr.lied in extended order under the eorps of Instructors commanded by Captain Kimßroiigii. Immediately upon conclusion of extended order drill the men were put through man euvers under fire, Instruction being given In direction and control of the fire and discipline under battle con ditions. The afternoons are divided into periods of instruction for officers. Yesterday and fills afternoon all of ficers were required to take tactical rides, General Walter Harris and Col onel Mallory leading tile cavalcade. Only those o thers whose adm nlstra tive duties required attention at camp were excused Troin taking this ride. One of the most Instructive and In teresting features of the school life at Camp Wheeler go far was the lec ture yesterday on First Aid given by the camp surgeon, Major Page of the regular army. Today Major Page will give a lecture on camp sanltat on and all staff and field officers will be re quired to meet at General Harris’ headquarters for another ride. None have required the services of the sttr EX-PREMIER CONFRONTS CAILLA UX (Continued from Preceding Pag*.) today at the trial of Mme. Calllaux for the purmed of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro. "You are not here to accuse,” Inter posed Maltre Laborl, the accused wo man's counsel. "You will find nothing but courtesy and deference for your self if your role is simply that of a witness. But if you come here to ac cuse then you will find me in front of you as a defender of my client.” “I have Courage. "If you have spoken of me to M. Calllaux,” replied the witness In a challenging tone, "he will have told you that at least I have courage.” "It Is said that the crime w-as com mitted because I communicated copies of letters,” continued Mrne. Gueydan. She then referred to her notes, in spite of a previous warning from the court that she must not do so, and Maltre Laborl objected amid murmurs of protest against him from the au dience. Supports Objection. Judge Albanel supported Maitro Laborl's objection. The Judge then himself addressed the witness, saying: "Disagreements arose In yoUT home." “There were no dlsagreemente.” The witness was speaking rapidly. She continued: "Our domestic life was tender. No one knows. Not even you, Mr. Pres ident, and absolutely no one know* about this affair.!' Judge Albanel: "Nevertheless, you and your husband had a reconcilia tion over something and the letters were burned. Will you explain?" The First Letter. Mine. Gueydan: "The first letter which appeared—do you know who gave that to me? M. Calllaux. He did it Ht the ministry of finances in 1908. I had never suspected that my hus band had a mistress. I first knew it when he threw himself at iny knees and asked my pardon. He humbled himself and I pardoned htin, but the day after he returned to this person 1 •lid not cease to believe his lying talk. 1 believed that the evil surrounding my home had gone, for I thought I saw the bottom of his heart In his tenrs.” Mme. Gueydan's voice had become clear and though she spoke in low tones her words penetrated every part of the chamber as she said: ”1 did not know at all the person In question. To show you my loyalty lo my husband, he confided to me a trav eling satchel full, he said, of import ant papers. I never opened It. I did not know until a long time afterwards that it contained correspondence be tween him and Mme. Raynouard. now Mme. Calllaux." Sank Indistinctly. The witness' voice sank Into Indis tinctness and she stood silent for a moment before continuing. Then she said only ”1 do not know what 1 can say - what I ought to say ” Judge Alhanel requested her to con tinue. She then said: “My husband became irritable and 1 was nervous. One day he said to me, 'Do you know t came to your bedside last night to kill you?' After that t felt that l ought to leave I went to Versailles anil wrote to him. I thought he would follow me and bring me home, hut no! He went to the Depart ment of the Barth* and I returned to Pmyi "">ll, I came hack home and f no ticed hi* desk half open. There were In It two letters from a woman They had been fabricated by him and Mme. Haynouard to make me believe that there was no Intimacy between them." Changed His Seat. Joaeph Calllanx during her testi mony changed his seat four times, getting nearer to her so he was bet ter able to hear until finally he was wlnthin four or five feet of her. Mme. Gueydan, however, did not no tice M. Caillaux whose fingers were twitching and whoa* hands were In cessantly opening and shutting The witness meantime entered into many details end small happenings before her divorce. She said: "I have an Impression he was afraid." Straight in Face. While she was saying this Mme. Mme.

How the wa r correspondents at headquarters feel is another matter. They refuse to be interviewed Their horses, however, might have a yarn to relate. Lieutenant.

Lieutenant Cleveland is the the heaviest officer tn camp, weigh ing 245 pounds. “Wow—it’s not,” said he. Major W. H.

All day Tuesday he felt the effects of It; hut Wednesday night he slept like a top.

Mme. Calllaux bent over the railing around the prisoner's enclosure with her face half concealed. Mme. Gueydan then recited a suc cession of quarrels and eronctliations between M. Calllaux and herHelf. She said she had found letters at their house and added: ”1 took them so as not to be un armed in the divorce.” Getting Exhausted. Part*.—-Judge Louis Albanel's court In the palace of justice, where Mme. Cail laux, wife of the former premier, is un dergoing trial for the murder of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, was as cowded as ever when the fourth hearing started today. Many had come to we Joseph Calllaux confonted. according to the practice of the French courts with Former Premier Louis Barthou, who had been subpoenaed as a witness. First Wife of Calllaux. The testimony was to be concluded to day with the evidence of M. Barthuo, Mme. Berthe Gueydan. the first wife ot M. Cailaux and half a dozen other wit nesses of lesser Importance. The arguments of Prucurator-Generat Jules Herbaux, for the prosecution and of Fernand Labori, counsel for the de fense. would, it was announced, pob ably begin late in the day. Mme. Calllaux took her place in the prisoner's enclosure punctually at noon. She carried a little vial of smelling salts and a note book. Strain Telling. Joseph Cstllaux and hts friend rascal Ceccaldl lud vißlted the prisoner In the conrlergerie before the hearing began. They found the long strain was begin ning to tell on her and that she felt ex housted and ill but she showed strong determination to face her ordeal with calmness, Two Private Letters. The testimony of the first three witnesses today concerned the two private letters which the defense seeks to show Gaston Calmette in tended to publish. Gaston Dreyfus explained that the scientist. Paul Painlave, who yester day testified that M. Dreyfus had told him the Figaro was going to publlsn a number of private letters, must have misunderstood him. He had re ferred to the Rocliette swindle affair and not to private letters, about which he knew nothing. Would Be Printed. An official of the treasury depart ment, Andrew Ueissler, testliled to being present during a conversation of a group of journalists in the lobby of the chamber of deputies when it was stated tiiat letters shortly would be published Francois Desolaux, chief private secretary to M. Caillaux. when minis ter of finance, declared that Andre Vervoort, editor of the Paris Jour nal, told him Mme. Gueydan had pro posed to him to publish two letters which she iroduced. The rapid suc cession of witnesses was interrupted by the confrontat on of Gaston Drey fus and Paul Palnleve, both of whom maintained the accuracy of their de positions with cons derable heat. Ends Incident. Amid much murmuring among the public Judge Alhanel ended the Inci dent by saying the Jurors must be left to decide for themselves as to the accuracy of the evidence. Testimony Corroborated. Andre Vervoort corroborated th* tes timony of M. Desclanx but was unable to say whether his nterview wltn Mme. Gueydan had taken place before or after the marriage of M. Calllau* to his present wife In 1911. "Cal! Mme. Gueydan," said Judge Alhanel. Nearly every one In court stood to see M. Caillaux'* first wife, who has been regarded as the person respon sible for most of the misfortunes which have overcome the French statesman and hts aecond wife. With Calm Dignity. Mme. Gueydan, a slender woman of medium height, then came Into court She was dressed simply In black and wore a small blue hat with blufc feath ers. Fhe looked to he 35 or 58 years old. Her face was drawn in tragic lines, her black eyes showing from great sockets In her wasted cheek? She eeemed 111, but she walked with calm dignity past her former husband standing In front of the Judge* and the Jury. The witness asked If she might re fer to her notes hut the request wna refused by the Judge. • "So Many Lie*." "There have been so many lies told," said Mme. Gueydan, 't hat my note* are absolutely necessary If only to fix date*. AYa* not M Caillaux allowed to read from paper*" 1 am confronted with u mountain of lies which I must climb and break to pieces one !>x one. I am alone.

VILLA YET REMAINS A MENACING FACTOR IN PATHWAY (Continued from Preceding Page.) there had been no fresh ruptiire be i tween those northern leaders and that ! no wthey were working "more or less I In harmony." Carothers With Him. Canothers accompanied Villa to western Chihuahua, where he was to attempt to impress upon the general the necessity for co-operation among the revolutionary leaders. John P- Silllman, personal representative of President Wilson, was with Carranza i performing a similar office Dispatches from Mexico City early today told of the announcement by General Iturbide, governor of the fede ral district, that pri armistice had been signed between the federals and con stitutionalists, and that peaec negotia tions would be advanced upon a basis j "giving full guarantees to everybody." No One Authorized. Members of the constitutionalist j Junta in Washington said they knew !of no one in Mexico City authorized to sign truce terms for the constitu tionalists but it was reported that Carranza had been in telegraph com munication with the capital. The con stitutionalists’ representatives here ; said they interpreted the statement concerning safety guarantees as mean ing that amnesty would be proclaimed for the deserving.

WITH THE PRIVATES A little amusement was created yes terday afternoon out at Camp Wheel er when suddenly a band struck up a "nice little rag." Immediately crowds of National Guardsmen began surging ing towards the spot from where the musical strains were escaping evi dently thinking the regulars were "tuning up.” 'Twas no mild surprise 'a-tall. at the moment, judging from the freely expressed opinions voiced by several of them, such as “Ah, its only a negro band, but, however, it was a noticeable fact that said band was appreciated by a large number, at least Judging from the manner In which a goodly number "stuck-around. (Paul Moss' “child band" was per forming) Several shower-baths have been erected for the different companies and the boys kept the water flowing all day yesterday as the stains of traveling added to those gained In erecting the tents were getting no ticeable. As every one knows Aumond is sit uated right on the very crest of the hill, and as the water tank is about on the same level therefore the water pressure Is exceeding strong which incidentally causes comment from each man as he steps under the show er. The usual camp scenes are every where such as the “blanket" trick— spread a blanket on the ground, set a recruit In It snd catch the four corners, lifting said blanket from the ground, drawing it taut at the same time, and away goes the youngster sailing up a few feet in the air and then falling hack only to rebound again. Oh It’s fun. that Is for every one with the ex ception of the man In the blanked. INVITE WILSON TO N. Y.

J. | Ragan, in which* he touched upon the Irish situation and expressed h,s per sonal opinion that while neither of the proposed measures now before : arliament ;or home rule meet aU the demands of the Irish, yet any step looking to an improvement in condi tions should be accepted. “A half loaf is better than no bread,” said Mr. Regan, “but the acquisition of the half loaf is no bar to our continuing our efforts for the whole loaf.” On motion of Father O'Donnell, of Massachusetts, seconded by Father OBrien, of Minnesota, the following cable was sent: “John E.

CAMP NOTES The first fatality at Camp Wheeler occurred this morning when one of the horses of Troop A, from Savannah, was kicked by another horse with such force as to result in a compound fracture. Recovery being practically imposside, the animal was killed. ,The cavalry squadron umbers 2-0 men and 19 officers, which is an unusually large squadron. At the last joint en campment there were only 180 men and officers. An especially pleasing feature to those in charge of the organization of the cavadry squadron is that details were so complete that it was possible to have mounted drill on the second day of the encampment. Hitherto it has been impossible to arrange for a mounted drill before the third or fourth day. The field bakery is one of the most in teresting places of the entire site to the average visitor. Three men are detail ed to attend to this department, this being a detachment from the regular army. The oven used is large enough to bake 180 two-pound loaves at one time. There are four brothers here with the cavalry squadron, everyone a man of powerful physique, two of them being men of wide military experience and two being athletes of renown. J. L. Grice, 30 years o’d. Is Fiist Lieutenant und Adjutant of the Second Squadron of cavalry; L. O. Grice. 20 years old. is Sergaent Major of the Squadron and is the youngest sergeant major In the United States. Though not yet 21, this is his third encampment. K. A. Grice, 18 ydars old, is 6 ft.. 6 inches, weighs I<s pounds and is one of the star basket ball players around Atlanta. All of the above are from Atlanta and belong to Troop L. The other brother. L. D. Grice, 22 years old. Is a junior at Mer cer and is here with the Macon Volun teers. He is 6 ft., 6% inches, tips the scale at 215, and was one of Mercer’s star football men of the past season. It cannot be recalled when there have been four brothers belonging to the same , squadron at any other encampment. THE IRISH HOME HE BLOCK Third Session of Conference Called By King Held Today. Court Tumult By Militants. London.—The third session of the home rule conference of the leaders of the Liberal. Conservatiee. Irish Nation alist and Ulster Unionist parties, call ed together by King George, was held today at Buckingham Palace. Since yesterday's meeting the opin ion seems to have become general that a deadlock has been reached, and that the possibility of a settlement has al most vanished. The Rt. Hon, James Lowther, speaker of the House of Commons, and president of the conference, who al ways walks from his official residence, conversed with the Duke of Devon shire on his way to the palace. A suffragette caused a little diver sion by rushing out of the crowd and through the gates of Buckingham Palace toward the visitors' entrance. There she threw a stone at a window, hut the missile fell short. She stumb led and fell before she had got much farther on tier journey and was cap tured hy the police and taken to the station house. Militants Cut Loose. Belfast, Ireland.—A crowd of suf fragettes today created a wild tumult In the Assize Court and Its vicinity, when Miss Dorothy Evans, an official of the Belfast branch of the Womens' Social and Political Union, was brought up for trial on the charge of having in her possession explosives for the purpose of committing a felony. Miss Evans had been arrested In the house of the lord mayor of Belfast. The suffragettes broke windows and savagely assaulted the police. Pro ceedings had to be suspended for a time. PLEAS FOR HOCKIN’S RELEASE. Washington.—Appeals to President Wilson for the release of Herbert S.

RED FLAGS DID DEITHJPIKE Streets of St. Petersburg Scene of Night Riots—l 2 0,- 000 Quit Work, Official Fig ures. St. Petersburg.—At least five strikers were killed and eight seriously wounded during fighting with Cossacks in the streets of St. Petersburg, which ceased at dawn this morning. Three police of ficials also are known to have been se verely injured. The figures quoted are official but it is generally understood that the casual ties among the strikers were much heavier, as It is thougnt probable they concealed a number of their dead and wounded. Official returns of the num ber of men who have quit work give the total of 120,0C0 in the city itself. These Include the street car employes, but do not comprise a large number of unskill ed laborers in the building and other trades Men carrying red flags spent the night marching and singing revolutionary songs in the outlying open spaces of the capital, while In the Viborg district they cut down telegraph poles and upset a number of vans with which they con structed barricades across the streets. From the shelter of these they stoned the police and Cossacks. The mob is also accused of having fired some shots.
