Communist Capers

Marcel Cachin, Deputy and Leader of the French Communist Party, charged by the French Government with " crime against the internal security of the State," was released by the investigating magistrate, le Juge Jousselin, on the ground of insufficient evidence. The Government will, however, appeal against the judge's decision. Other charges are also likely to be brought against M. Cachin and his associates.

Premier Poincare recently tendered his resignation when the Senate, as High Court of France, declared its incompetency to deal with the charges against Marcel Cachin and his followers. President Millerand, however, refused to accept the Premier's resignation.
