Evidence which will plly a nait in tissual for treason ijf for*' j Caillaux in France, was t . .*• w The public by the state department Wed nesday in another series from the de 1 partmenfs store of intercepted diplo matic correspondence. The messages exchanged between : Count von Hernstorff. former German ambassador at Washington, and the . Berlin foreign office, show that during • his visit to Argentina in 1915. Cail laux was in communication with Or man agents, condemning the French i government and asking that his posi I noil at home be not damaged by praise i from the German newspapers. Following is the text of the mes I sage sent by Bernstorff: "Buenos Aires telegraphed the fol । lowing: ‘Maillaux has left Buenos Aires after a short stay and is going j direct to France evidently on accoum of the (group undecipherable) scandal which he regards as a personal at tack upon himself. He speaks con temptuously of the president and the rest of the French government with the exception of Biand. He sees complete overthrow of France. He through the policy of England per fectly. He does not anticipate the sees in the war a great struggle for existence on the part of England. Al- 1 though he spoke much of the “indis cretions and clumsy policy" of the | Wilhelmstrasse and professed to be lieve in German atrocities, he has in essentials hardly changed hie political i orientation. Caillaux welcomed in-| direct courtesies from me but empha-1 •tend the extreme caution which he is obliges! to show as the French gov ernment, he said, had him watched even here He warns us against the excessive praise bestowed upon him by our papers, especially the Neue | Freie Presse. and desired on the other . hand that Mediterranean and Mott , co agreements should be adversely criticised Oar praise injures his pMi-| non in France. Caillaux’s reception • here was cool His report about Bra ail had nothing new. On hia return I to France he will begin to reside in, his own constituency. He fears Paris i and the fate of Jaures. (Signed ] Bernstorff*.” Another message which Count Bern storff had forwarded was from Ha vana as follows: “Tol Rio de Janiero telograph’ steamer Araguaya left Buenos Aires] January M.

Caillaux , now is waiting trial in France for treason on revelations developed by, ; the celebrated 8010 Pasha case.

HM TAKES OWN LIFE AT DESBA Despondency Because of Financial Condition Said to Have Led to Suicide l-ast Tuesday. LEAVES HIFE, SIZ CHILDREN. A man by the name of Williams liv ing on the Sam Wyatt farm, near Desha, committed suicide Tuesday by shooting himself in the head with a shotgun. The man drifted into the commun ity with his family, a wife and six ■ hildren, about a year or two ago and ha? made his living by picking cotton and working on the farms near there. He was evidently in a bad financial condition as it is reported from people |in that section that his condition financially was the cause of his act. The family was in need of food and he could find no work, it is claimed, and late in the afternoon he took his gun and started out of the house. It was thought by his family that he was going rabbit hunting. Later a report of the gun only a short dis ' tance from the house caused membeFs । of the family to investigate and they found him in a near-by outhouse dead. The effect of the discharge of the gun almost blew his head from his should ers. The remains were buried at Desha at the expense of the county. Citizens of 1 lesha made up a purse of $32 for the immediate needs of his family and it is not known what they will do for support. Hiram H. Meeker, Cushman.
