who is al the Raleigh, is visiting this
country on business. In speaking Of
Socialists last night. he said; Hereto
fore It has been generally assumed that
Socialists had a horror Of decorations
But a section Of those who profess the
faith in France have conquered their
distaste. Prominent among them is
Citoyen CameIinat who is the inventor
OF a socialist decoration which he de-
scribes as the Insignia Of the party
This decoration. which has been approved
by the united federations and the delega-
tions of the international committee. is
composed a disk Of white metal mount
ed like a button The name OF the Social
ist party is engraved on a sun placed at
the extreme end Of the medal The rays
OF this international sun illuminate ter
resuiaI globe. which bears the words IN
ternational Cuveriere.' The price Of this
socIalisuc decoration is within the reach
OF all members OF the faith
'Radicalsm is on the wane in France"
continued NJ Gagier. The government
leaders are beginning 70 see that France
IS losing ground under the radical regime,
and that before long the people will
awake 70 this fact and drive their po-
litical leaders from Office. II has been
going from bad 10 worse since the church
has been shorn OF its influence and
power. The masses have lost all respect
for law and decency. and the church IN
der the prevailing circumstances. is al
most powerless 10 check them There is
a perceptible tendency on the part OF the
political leaders TO secure an understand
ing with the Vatican. in order to secure
the help Of the church TO stop lawless-
ness The Vatican should not be blamed
for insisting on its rights. which have
been so rudely withdrawn from the
church BY the radical political powers in
