SCENE IN CHAMBER

WHEN M. CAILLAUX ENTERED.

(AUSTRALIAN-NEW ZBALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received 22nd April, 3 p.m.) "■ LONDON, 21st April. The "Daily Express's" Paris correspondent says that jeers, catcalls, and whistles greeted the entry of M. Caillaux into the Chamber of Deputies. From an early hour a queue awaited admission to the public galleries. Women in striking low-necked, sleeveless dresses struggled for seats, and then produced powder puffs and lipsticks and patiently awaited the great moment. When the Ministers entered a. storm broke loose. The Left cheered and the Right created a great din. Owing to interruptions it took M. Painleve 45 minutes to read a short statement. When the Right was not interrupting, the Left turned the Chamber into a bear garden. M. Cachin was hooted by the Right, and then M. Bertrand, who is an exservicer's champion, made a furious onslaught on M. Caillaux, whom he ac-. cused of slipping in by the back door and taking , advantage of a political amnesty instead of seeking' a re-trial.\ M. Caillaux became livid with anger, but did not intervene, in the debate.
