His return bas been voluntary, and this, added to the fact that for many years he as one of the best informed and most implacable newspaper editors in the country, with a particular pas- I sion for preserving every little docu- | {ment and letter that ever came Into | his hands, is taken as an indication | that he has less to fear from the out- jeome than some of his enemies, |among whom Clemenceau is the | chief. Judet was one of the most | prominent of the alleged traitors Itried and condemned in France after | the war. But in the meantime he | had left for Switzerland, where he | Was Informed of the fact that he had {been sentenced to life |The sentence was not so terrific as might appear, for M. Judet is now seventy-one years old. Nevertheless, {be announced his intention of return- trial, imprisonment. s ' has little fear of another convietion. Judet was for many years editor 'of the Eclair, and distinguished i himself asp a leader of the French {School of Thought, which was in | favor of an understanding with Ger- i many rather than with Great Britain. He argued that if France and Ger- | many could Permanently settle their (old enmity they might unite and | share in world domination. Joseph Caillaux was also a spokesman for this school, There was nothing treas- onable in such utterances at the | time they were made, which wag in { the 'period that Delcasse ana King | Edward were founding .the Entente, {but made when the nation Was at i War with Germany, naturally they | were differently regarded. Judet was {no doubt sincere in his anglophobia, | which grew to be the main impulse of his career. At the time of the Pan- Ama scandals he accused Clemenceau of being the paid agent of the Brit- ish Government, and sought to sub- stantiate his charges by the produc- tions of letters alleged to have come from the British Embassy to Paris. Later these were shown to be clumsy forgeries. But Clemenceau's vindi- cation did not abate the rancour of Judet, who continued to pursue him, and in one of the bitterest elections in French history, succeeded in driv- ing "the Tiger" into political exile Which lasted for years. . In the crisis of the Great War, when Clemenceau came again to Power, his immediate task was to restore the morale of the French people which had been uncermined by. German Propaganda through the arisian press. At this time there were: dosens of Socialist dailies being published, which were mere political pamphlets. None of them could live on its sales or advertising receipts. They were the Personal organs of ticlan, subsidized by . They eluded the censorship by the use of clever innuendo, and kept urging that the war should be en They gave publicity . to the fact that there had been mutinous disorders among more than one hun- dred French regiments in the field, these disorders, in their turn, having been largely due to the tone of the Dapers. Indeed, there seems to be little doubt that when Clemenceat me Premier, France was nearly on the verge of collapse, and a refer- endum might have shown the people almost equaliy divided as to whether | the war should be fought to a finish Or compromised. If the final victory was due to Foch's leadership, it is Plain that without Clemenceau, Foch would never have had the oppor- tunity of crowning his leadership with triumph. Well has "the Tiger" been called "the Father of Victory." As a lifelong journalist Clemen- ceau was well qualified to deal with the Paris press, Which was sapping the patriotism of the nation. 'There was a sudden swoop which netted Bolo Pasha, Duval and a score of lesser lights. There were gwift trials and summary executions. But CI U was unable to reach others more highly placed whom he Suspected, but against whom no posi- tive evidence Was forthcoming. Among them was Judef, but Judet, knowing that he could expect . no particular consideration from his old enemy, declined to take a chance, and fled to Switzerland, : In his absence he with having sold the the Eelair to German Interests, and Was condemned and sentenced, as Already related.
