Joseph Caillaux,, former Premier of France and twice Minister of Finance, stands tonight convicted to having placed his personal tioliti eal ambition during the war higher than the interests of the country that hon ored him and gave him birth. Caillnux while escaping conviction for high treason, was round to have been reck lessly imprudent and very close to treasonable ambitions, for such is the interpretation of the verdict of Guilty of com memo and correspondence with tne enemy ' which was rendered today against him by the Trench Senate. This is the first verdict of the sort rendered ia any of the allied countries since the war began "commerce," as interpreted by the Senators who were the judges aet meaning financial trad ing, but - this particular case is em ployed ia the sense of association. - Senate Bealas Debate.

No one, however, took seriously the prediction that the verdict would be reached this evening. But after the court had dis posed of the high treason charge and that of 'Intelligence with the enemy," and had declared '. its own sovereignty in less than four hoars, word waa pasa ed .that' af'o'esmioa was impending and Luxembourg thmfens were filled to overflowing in the neighborhood of the palace by dense crowds, and police re serves bad to be called out; ' The ballots followed one aaothcr with ' great rapidity. The partisans ef the former Premier were thrilled with joy and hope when the treason charge was ao promptly eliminated, confidently predicted acquittal and began to ip porioa among themselves the portfolio in the cabinet which Caillaux was ex pected to form withia six months after his release. When they attempted ' to have the Senate refrain from establishing itself as the highest constitutional authority. with power to find the accused not guilty as ebsrged, but guilty of a lesser offense, their enthusiasm waned. , Bedlam Breaka Leoae.
