Bolsheviks Sentenced

M. Marcel Cachin, member of the Chamber of Deputies and leader of the French Communist Party, together with M. Vaillant-Couturier, another Communist Deputy, was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 2,000 francs ($118.40) for inciting soldiers to disobedience. M. Cachin was absent in Russia when he heard that his case was to be brought to trial. He hurried back, doing the last stage of his journey from Berlin to Paris in an aeroplane, but arrived in Court only in time to hear his sentence. Both Deputies declared that they would appeal and if necessary would carry their case on to the Court of Cassation, which is the highest Court in France and sits at Paris.
