HARRISON FAILS TO APPEAR AND
 BOND IS CALLED

Failing to appear for trial on a charge of breach of the peace, Frank R. Morrison, the American Grapho- phone Co foreman who was arrest ed a. week ago on complaint of a young married woman employe to the effect that he had discharged her be- cause she had refused to meet certain demands, forfeited bail of $50 in the police court, today.
 The case against the man will be no further pressed, as it was in con sequence of an understanding be- tween his attorney and officials of the city court that he failed to present himself for hearing.
 The practice of allowing men to forfeit bail by non-appearance is one widely employed in the local court, such disposition being taken in pref erence to presenting a prisoner for trial and then letting him go. AL lowing him to skip bail is form of nolleing the case on payment of a certain amount of money.

HEAR CHARGES
 MADE AGAINST
 TWO DEPUTIES

Paris, Dec. 15-Premier Clemen- ceau and Edouard Ignace, under sec retary for military justice, were heard yesterday by the committee of Il ap- pointed by the chamber of deputies to report on the proposed suspensions of Deputies Caillaux and Loustalot. The premier produced documents bearing on the case from the French foreign office and said he would be unable to communicate others with out authorization from the foreign powers concerned.
 M. Ignace read documents explain ing the charges, saying they involv- ed relations with the enemy through the Almereyda, Bo1o Pasha and Ca vallina affairs and an attempt against the security of the republic through maneuvers in Italy by Caillaux as re- ported by the diplomatic service.
 The members of the committee said the government had not been supplied with sufficient documents Premier Clemenceau replied that the cabinet had sent Louis J. Malvy, for mer minister of interior and accused of reasonable actions, before the high court on sheet of white paper. He added that of Cail1aux's three chief correspondents, one had died in pris- on and two others were in prison un- der the most grave charges. Any other citizen in such a case, he de- clared, would already have been c11- ed before an investigating judge
 Premier C1emenceaI1 told the com mittee that the county demands the full light on the Caillaux case as on the Malyy case and that can only be attained by the action of court of justice.

FRENCH MAKING PROGRESS AGAINST
 HUN SUBMARINES

Paris, Dec. 15-Real progress is be- ing made against the German sub marine campaign, Georges Leygues, minister of marine, declares in an in- terview in the Petit Parisien, today. He warns, however, against too op- timistic conclusions being drawn from the reassuring developments.
 .-The German submarine campaign, while grave. continuing danger, is partly checked" he said Last month our losses were the lowest on record. We have also o11erved that the German crews are less efficient and less enterprising than at the be- ginning and that their ammunition is of inferior quality.
 Still, however reassuring these ob- servations may be, too optimistic con- clusions should not be drawn from them.''
