LONDON, Nov. 16.
Despite "officially permitted;' explana
tions that Joseph Calllaux, cx-Premler
ol France, has loft for Brazil to arrange
for purchase of foodstuffs and clothing
that formerly wero obtained by Franco
In Austria and Germany, the belief was
strong hero today that more Is behind

Calllaux Is nccompanled by his wife,
recently acquitted of tho murder of Oas

Throughout discussions of tho departure
of Calllaux from France at such a crisis
In his country's history are repeatedly
heard mention of intimations which came
out at tho trial of tho wlfa of the ex
Premler. It Is remembered that states
men of Germany havo termed Calllaux as
"Germany's best friend In France."
Less than ten days ago the appearance
of Calllaux with his wife on the streets
of Paris brought forth demonstrations
from tho populace In which cries of "Ger
man spy" were heard, During his wife's
trial It was frequently hinted that Call
laux failed to exhibit his customary firm
ness In combating German demands dur

FATE OF AUDACIOUS

BIG DREADNOUGHT
Cablegram Indicates British
Warship Reported Sunk by
German Mine is Undergo
ing Repairs.
"Dest Information rspalrlnfl." These
three words came In a cablearam
from London today In reply to an In
qulry as to the extent of the disaster
to the British super-dreadnought Au
dacious, reported sunk by a Qerman
mine or torpedo on the northwestern
coast of Ireland, The Inquiry was
carefully worded to pass tho British
censors, and tho reply apparently
places doubt upon the reports that
the Audacious had sunk In deep
water.
NEW YORK, Nov. 16.
Whether tho British supcrdrcadnought
Audacious Is now at the bottom of the
sea or Is being repaired by tho British
Admiralty and may again sco service Is
now apparently the only mystery connect
ed with reports of the vessel of tho first
line of England's naval defense falling
lctlm to a Gorman mine or torpedo on
the nurthwestorn coast of Ireland.
James It. Dcnmci, bandmaster on the
liner Olympic, which rescued tho crew
uf the Audacious, told tho full story of
the disaster to the Audacious upcn. ar
riving hole on the American liner New
York, lie snld tho Audnclous wan blown
up by the British cruiser Liverpool, that
her wreck might not Interfere with traf
fic. A cablo received from London to
day, however, Indicates that thlt mny
be a mistaken version of the disaster to
tho drrndnuught.
Owing to the fact that tho British cen
sors will permit no reference to tho
disaster of the Audnclous to be cabled or
printed In London papers, It was only
through tho most carefully worded Inquiry
from New York that a reply was ob
tained. The cablo received hero merely
said:
"Best Information repairing."
The message nlso Indicated there had
been but ono fatality.
Tho story of Bnndmaster Bcamcs was
learned only after It has been Impressed
upon him that the main fncts of tho
accident to the Audnclous were known In
this country. Ho had been pledged to
secrecy, ns had all members of tho
Olympic's crew.
