 France he was arrested and charged with treason. --..-
 Caillaux was. in prison awaiting trial a little more than three years, so that he was immediately released when the high court sentenced him to three years imprisonment. He was at the same time barred for five years from certain large cities in France-Paris, frontier towns and navy stations and deprived of civil rights for ten years. During the last five years he has travelled throughout France and has delivered several addresses at poli- aical meetings. He, and his wife were many times the objects of hostile demonstrations, often resulting in pitched battles between his supporters and, his enemies He published book which was a review of his trial and a restatement of his political faith, the foremost principle of which is distrust of England. y
 Before his downfall, Caillaux rep resented the department of the Sarthe in the chamber The man who rep rsented that department in the senate died recently and now that Caillaux has been granted amnesty, he proba- ply will run for the upper house, with the certainty of winning. The people of his district have supported him throughout his troubles.
 Caillaux's comeback" since the war, eliminating in today's action of the chamber, has parallels in other ooun- tries, notably in the election of Ram. say Macdonald, wartime Pacifist, to the British premiership, and the as cendaney, of Robert LaFollette, stig. matized during the war, to a position of commanding importance in American politics.

Rosetta Duncan, Actress, Makes Most Of Her Opportunities Following Tussle With Policeman

along with her mother and Jack Demp- sey and chanced' to bear down heavy on the gas pedal. A motor cop came along and Jagged them down. Jack wanted to kid him out of it, but Ma Daniels exclaimed, "Jack, you sapF or some thing like that, flor heavens sake, don't ruin a grand publicity gag. Let them, pinch her and let's get to the judge and beg him to give her ten days. It will put her in every paper in the country" l..
 Rosetta, as has been remarked, prob ably had some such notion as that. Per haps she hoped tosgett at least five days in the; Cicero cooler.
 .. .-'t -f Veritureif Too Far - So she ran past the traffic signal and was arrested. .,., l...
 However, Rosetta seems to have mis- conducted herself during the arrest, for there was a terrific row., a blur of bobbed hair, flying fists, kicking pumps and rolled-down sick stockings all mixed up with blue uniforms and nickeled badges as big as the moon. Rosetta emerged in the attitude of. a perishing gladiator with crimson on her nose and lips. Some thought it was lip rogue smeared there. She said it was blooL She had her pictures taken with band ages on her nose and mouth.
 All this has been recorded again and again in papers. all over the United States during the last week. There have been photographs of Rosetta before and after taking the alleged rap on the beezer. s~
 Today Rosetta brought charges of felonious assault against four of the keystone cops on the Cicero police force The press-agent and the manager of the show are about to sue the town of Cicero for damages suffered by the show through the temporary absence of Rosetta. And Rosetta herself is talk. ing of suing Cicero for personal dam ages. Rosetta says she incurred not only the broken shoot or beezer, but a few fractures of the ribs and various other injuries generally described in the ambulance summaries under the head ing of "contusions and abrasions.p
 Taking the adventure one way and another, you might say it was highly successful. Rosetta and her. show have enough damage suits in prospect to keep her in good publicity for year.

 which was smothered in the furor over Ku Klux Klan and Catholicism. !:
 The LaFollette managers, setting is- sues aside for the moment, are now pre- fecting the mechanical plans by which they can make the greatest dent in the republican armor. In sos doing they hone to profit by the insurgent move ment of Theodore Roosevelt. in 1912. This is reflected in. the decision of the LaEolIette executive committee. which met here today, to discourage complete progressive tickets, with candidates run ming for state offices and for Congress. Too much of the Roosevelt fire was wasted on community flights, in the opinion of the LaFollette leaders.
 The LaFollette leaders intend to eliminate all arguments about who should run for representative in such and such a district, or who should be the. candidate for state treasurer in the state of so and so.
 This was one reason that LaEoIlette was careful to avoid the actual crea- tion of new party. He and his ad- yisers believe far better results can be obtained by putting all their steam into obtaining votes for the presidency.
 In states which are almost wholly behind fI. I.aFollette, such as Wisconsin, some independent candidates may. De endorsed but the practice win be con fined to such districts.
 LaFollette does not intend for his views on the big national issues to be obscured by regional or community sqpabbles. .d F With the democrats and progreSsives having stated their case, the next move will be First, AIr. Davis will agree on a new national chairman to manage bis campaign second, the progressives will choose asvice presidential candidate to run with La Toilette.

AMERICA WILLING
 TO CEDE RIGHTS NTANGIERS ZONE
American Interest Must Be Adequately Guar
 anteed Is Condition

WASHINGTON. July Refusing to ioin in the administration of the Tangfers zone as contemplated in the ;conYention signed between England, France and Spain last year, the state department has expressed to those gov sernments the willingness of this country to scede its extra-territorial rights there if American interests are adequately guaranteed.
 The decision was communicated to the signatories to the convention in a note prepared by Secretary Hughes prior, to his departure today for a months vacation in England and on the continent. The attitude of this gov ernment was, sought in joint com munication presented late in May. fol lowing ratification of the convention by three governments emphasizing the desire of the United States not only to cooperate but avoid the placing of any obstacle in the way. of an equitable set clement of the Tangiers problem, the note, nevertheless made it clear that the meaning of certain provisions in the triparte agreement must be made specific before this government would give. even tacit approval to, them.
 Points Stressed In Note
 Maintenance of the open door, assur- hnce of equality of economic oppor- tunity. judicial guarantees and accept snce by the administration of respop- ability for acts of the zone authori- ties in connection with internal claims were some of the points stressed by the state department as requiring more def mite phrasing.
 Officials declared the policy followed in the note was the same which has governed the attitude of the United States since American interests were first identified with the zone. Adher- ence. to an agreement affecting Mo- rocco would be no new departure, they pointed out, since the United States wasza signatory to the treaty promul- gated by the Algeciras conference in i9O0. It was this agreement which gave the United States and other coun- tries the special rights now proposed to be abrogated. -e
 U. S. Seeks Protection
 In signing the treaty, Ambassador White attached reservation declaring the United States had no political ambition in the zone and sought only protection of life and property for Its citizens and equal trade opportunities: The Senate before. ratifying it, added another, reservation. asserting the United States assumed mo obligation" for ad- riinistration of the zone and that adher- erce to the treaty should not be taken as Indicating the slightest intention to depart from the traditional policy" ot anonlinterference in European political problems. ,>
 The Tangiers zone problem formerly involved Germany also and furnished the famous Ajadir incident which threat ened to precipitate European war. A special agreement then was made, giv- ing Germany new rights in the Moroc- can region. These she lost in the set dement's after the World war.

Wash ingt0n, was placed under control of a large military foce.
