Stand
“PUBLISH ALL LETTERS,”
SHE SAYS. IF DESIRED
Defendant Presents Sorrowful
Figure in Court With Look of
Bewilderment and Terror in
Eyes. Former Premier Bar
thon Defends His Action in
Making Documents Public.
Pari*.—"Call Mme. Gueydan,” was
the command of Judge Albanel when
court opened today for the fifth day's
hearing in the trial of Mme. Henrietta
Caillaux for the murder of Gaston
Calmette.
Mme. Gueydan, former wife of the
prisoner's husband, Joseph Caillaux,
ard ex-premier of France, had. how
ever, not arrived and Pascal Ceccaldi,
the most intimate private and political
friend of M. Caillaux, was called to
the stand.
Impassioned Defense.
M. Ceccaldi addressed to the Jury
an impassioned defense of the Cail
laux family. He described Mme. Cal
llaux’s efforts to restrain her husband
from assuming political power as she
was of the opinion that his keeping
out of the government was the only
way in which they could expect to
have peace in their life.
M. Caillaux, seated In the crowded
court among witnesses and Journalists,
followed attentively his friend's paney
gyric, nodding his head in approbation
and occasionally casting a glance
about the court room as though meas
uring the effect of the witness’ words.
Sorrowful Figure.
Mme. O’llaux, in the prisoner’s en
closure pitsented a sorrowful figure.
In her eyes was a look of bewilder
ment and seeming terror. She did not
speak to anyone, but she had had a
long talk with her husband in the
prison of the conclergerie before the
hearing began.
Those In court soon began to tire of
M. Cecealdi’s speech, interruptions
brought from the witness the heated
exclamation:
"I have the right to talk here because
they seek to keep a woman In pris
on.”
Pounds for Order.
This occasioned a clamorous up
roar and Judge Albanel pounded for
order.
M, Ceccaldi proceeded with a criti
cism of Former Premier Barthou’s
course In reading In the chamber of
deputies the documents drawn up by
Victor Fabre, In connectelon with the
Rochette swindle.
Mr. M. Ceccaldi had spoken for an

from John R. Silliman, President Wil
son's personal representative, that :ie
had been assured by Carranza, con
stitutionalist leader, that his disposi
tion of the claim for amnesty for the
fallen federals would not be such as
to prejudice the cause of the constitu
tionalists in the eyes of the United
States and other foreign powers. En
tire confidence could be placed in his
attiude, he added, not only toward the
proposition of safety guaranties, but
also toward the representations grow
ing out of execution of two French
citizens at Zacatecas.
Fop Speedy Ending.
Silliman, who was with Carranza at
Tampico, told of the anxiety among
the constitutionalists there for the
spedey ending of the revolution and
establishing a new government. Car
ranza’s statement was interpreted in
many quarters as indicating that he
would declare amnesty for the forces
that fought him. Elsewhere it was
suggested he might reserve the right

Wathington.—President Wilson has
decided to make one more effort to
Bmooth out the differences between the
senate and Paul M. Warburg, his nom
inee for the federal reserve board, and
if he finds that impossible he will
withdraw his nomination as he with
drew that of Thomas D. Jones yes
terday. He has been informed by sen
ate leaders that Mr. Warburg can be
confirmed if he will appear before the
banking committee.
Law Requires Two.
The president, it became known to
day, will wait until he finds what
Mr. Warburg will do before choosing a
nominee to succeed Mr. Jones. He is
concerned about Mr. Warburg because
If his name is withdrawn only one
banker will remain on the board, while
the law requires two.
White House officials said today
that speeches in the senate against
Mr. Jones had nothing to do with the
withdrawal of his nomination. They
declared Mr. Wilson had already drawn
up in shorthand his letter accepting
Mr. Jones’ withdrawal and that no
hangc in the draft was made after
the attack on Mr. Jones began in the
senate.

Few of the Men Were Aware of Hit Presence—Soldiers of
the Fifth Regiment Plan Ball Games.
(By M. L. Bryson, Private, Fifth
Infantry.)
The men of Camp Wneeler had the
first Held work of a drill nature on
Thursday morning. From the time
that reveille sounded until the night
which followed that day the new men
had their first experience. They lis
tened for the first time to “taps'' anil
(f they are akin to other men, triey
will forever love It.
The iellows all enjoyed that per
mit given the entire hunch to go
Into town Wednesday night. Some
of them commemorating the occasion
by—well, they were all able to get
by the smoke stack alright.
Reveille set the bo>s stirring In
their tents at. an early hour They
were all prompt at mess, and ready
for the In tlul drill work of the camp
The mounts of t/ie generals and
majors’ staff were ell on their metal,
prancing among the troupe as to
gether they went forward to their re
spective fields of operation.
In the small hours o! Wednesday
right a chill seemed to settle sud
denly upon the camp and the me#
felt It. The fellows hadn't tnought
of getting cold, but the blankets w-re
certainly pressed Into service, and,
even then, the men did not get com
fortable.
$6.00 PER YEPp—5 CENTS PER COPY.
The first period of the morning
drill was spent In the formation of
three war strength com; aides by con
solidating the companies of muTi bat
talion. Special attention was paid
to the duties of corporals.
The second period dealt with the
companies In the first stages of at
tack.
There were two other periods dur
ing the morning, hut the two first
were the only periods of dr.II. The
drill fields In u few .nstances were a
bit rough, and the sun uncompromis

down frequent maledictions on the

(•era In cnarga of the drill, however,
expressed themselves as well pleased
with the results obtained.
When the men of the Fifth Regi
ment fell into column of companies,
at route step, on the return to < amp,
they forgot the trials of the previous
hours, and a chorus of male voices
arose from the weary, duety soldiers
In the strains of ancient and modern
music.
To the delight of the men In camp,

the company streets at reasonable
