Viviani Sails,
Much Pleased
Over Welcome
Former French Premier, i'm
Farewell, Says Greetings
From Country Show U. S.
Friendship for France
Leaves Message for Legion
Another Note to American
People To BE Translated
and Made Public To- day

Rene Viviani, former French Premier
who came here nearly month ago as
a special envoy from France, sailed for
Havre yesterday on the French liner
France.
He was tired man, despite his
energy and robust physique. The
labors of his mission had not fatigued
him, but the round of entertainment
that was thrust upon him by we'll wish
ing Americans was trfle more than
the Premcr had expected. He went at
once to his stateroom when ne boarded
the France and after d chat With some
of his countrymen came out on deck
to face the cameras, which one of his
party said had pursued HIM day and
night throughout his visit.
Through Marcel Knecht, mis- spokes-
man, M. Vivani said that lie had pre-
pared in French lengthy message for
the American people and one for the
American Legion. They will have to
be carefully translated and to-day they
will be made public.
WI. Fl'ldIl informs me LnaC Wncn
he came here he had heard that there
was lack of affection in America for
France" Mr.. Knecht said. "He re-
tu rms to his own country convinced
that what he had heard was untrue
He says he found President Harding
a delightful friend and gentleman, and
he goes away happy in the thought that
the President is warm friend of
France. M. Viviani also says that he
is much pleased with the generous re-
ceptions rendered to him, as ne regards
the personal attentions of the Amer
lean people offered to him as attentions
showered upon France"
A report was current aboard the
France that M. Viviani had urged Cap
tain Maurrass, master of the France, to
push the vessel to her utmost on the
run to Havre, as he had important af-
fairs of state to transact and shat time
was pressing.
The skipper said shortly before sail
ing that his distinguished guest, while
anxious to get home, had made no re-
quest for extra speed on the journey.
Captain Maurrass said that because of
the high cost Of coal the vessel would
not be pushed beyond her usual leisure
ly speed of 20 knots.
The France, which at one time used
to compete with the Maurctania and the
Lustania on speed bursts across the
Atlantic, is capable of fast time, but
for economic reasons she mas not been
forced since her return to the mer-
chant service from transport duty.
NJ. Viviani was accompanied by Stcph-
ane Lauzanne, editor OF lie Matin.

BRAND to Submit NeaU
FOch Plan to Britain
Proposals as to Economic Meas
ures A Against G erm an y
Also Drafted by Loucheur

PARIS. April 20 (By The Associated
Press).-At the conference to be held
at Lympne, England, Sunday between
Premier Brand and Premier Lloyd
George, M. BRAND will submit to the
British Prime Minister the plan elab-
GRATED by the military and civil COM
mission dealing with the military and
economic measures decided on with
view to obtaining reparations from
Germany, according to information
from a reliable source to-day.
Inc military and civil commission
VIII meet again tomorrow under the
presidency of Marshal Foch, and it is
expected that the plan of M. Loucheur,
Minister for the Liberated Regions,
VIII be ready to be handed over to
M. BRAND prior to his departure on
Saturday for England. 1t has been de-
clded by common accord to make the
meeting as informal as possible. The
reparatlons question, of course. will be
uppermost. 1t is reported that the plan
elaborated by the French mixed com
mission will be a development with
added military penalties in case of
non execution of the conclusions
reached by the Allied financial experts
az oAuSoclS laSC WluLST WIN regard to
Germany's payments.
The Associated Press hears that the
pan contains provisions for guarantees
to be taken in order to make sure that
the present situation may not be re-
newed for some years, and that in the
future Germany will be unable to op-
pose a policy of inertia or non pos
sumus to the Allied demands.
1t is not likely that the question
roncerning the mandate for the Island
of Yap will be discussed at the confer
ence in Lympne.
LONDON, April 20 (By The Associ-
ated Press), The proposed French
measures, which Premier BRAND will
communicate to Mr.. Lloyd George at
the Lympne conference, according to
Reuters Paris correspondent, will in
clude a new tax of from fifty to seventy
francs q ton on coal mined in the
Ruhr district, which will be placed un-
der the supervision of French mining
Engineers. The measures also provide
for tax on exports and seizure of
shares in industrial concerns.
ATHENS, April 20,-A bill was in
II drced in Parliament last night pro-
viding for the collection of fifty per

orted to Greece.

ROME, April 20.-Many signs point
to serious disorders in the general
electoral campaign which will begin
Monday. Benito Mussolno, founder of
the Fascist, or Extreme Nationalist
party, which is in violent opposition to
the Communists and Socialists, has is
sued the following instructions to his
adherents:
against ambushes of the Communists
The Fascist have resorted to violence
recently, but this has been undertaken
to protect all classes and resembles in
no way the Communist plots. The
Fascist are compelled to make puni
tive expeditions in various provinces
as the only way to crush Communism.
"A truce is now impossible, as Fas-
cism, in the interest of the pubic GOOD
must triumph over Communism.
"Be on the defensive, except in cx-
treme cases, eliminating private citi
zens and outsiders from any punitive
expeditions.
I'm case of aggression act swiftly
and thoroughly, following the policy
OF reason and patriotism, and continue
to act thus until present barbaric CON
ditlons are changed"
ROME, April 20 (By The Associated d
Press s).-Fierce combats have occurred
IN Tuscany between the Fascist and
the Communists and Socialists. One
Communist was killed in a conflict in
Folano. AT Figline two Socialists were
killed in a revolver battle with Fas-
clsti. Fascisti attacked the labor head
quarters at both Vicenza and Taranto
IN the latter place they set fire to the

TOWNLEY AND LANCER

1t is the custom of A. c. Townley
when he enters strange territory to
issue loud challenge to all comers to
debate the Nonpartisan league issue
with him.
He is usually safe in making this
kind of a challenge. Every person,
however well known, hesitates to at
tempt beating man at his own game
and Townley's game is that of bluff
and bluster. The speaker on the plat
form always has the advantage for the
people come to hear him speak, they
do not come to hear heckler. There
fore the presumption and prejudice is
always against the heckler, no mat
ter how popular or wrong the speaker
may be.
Townley is insincere in making this
kind of a challenge. He has refused to
meet William Langer Of his own state,
North Dakota, in a joint debate. He
does not dare to meet LANCER.
LANCER has repeatedly offered to de-
bate the League issue with him but
Townley has always evaded him.
LANCER is loaded for Townley and
Townley knows better than to try to
meet him on the same platform.
Townley issued his challenge in Sa-
lima, the other day. Nobody took him
up, but he did not know that LANCER
was on his trail. Now LANCER is in
Kansas and has offered to meet Town
ley. But Townley seems to have
crawled into his cyclone cellar, nobody
can find him.
Before he issues his next challenge
he will probably take a long look
around at the horizon to see if Will
liam LANCER is anywhere in sight.

Fc avenue. Time of meeting, Friday,
7:30 p. m.
We certainly had a peppy meeting on
Friday. At first we met at our regular
meeting place and decided to chal-
lenge Troop to meet to play off
the tie for second place resulting in
the recent field meet. Then we ad-
journed and visited Troop 16, but as
limitations were going on We left soon
and met again at the Y NJ. c. A. gym
nasium, where we practiced the ante
lope race, firemens carry race and
other events of the city field meet.
Troop sure has shown its pep in
the last few months. We registered in
September with only ten boys. Not
long after that we entered the field
meet at Mineral Palace and won third
place. Not so bad for troop only
little over a month old. is it? In De-
cember Troop 9 challenged any troop
in the city to a semaphore signalling
contest. Troop was the first to ac-
cept this challenge, and was beaten
very little. Then in the field meet of
February IL we tied for second place.
Now VIC are going to prove that we
should have undisputed right to sec
ond place. If you don't believe 1t come
out and see Troop prove her worth
in the meet with Troop in the near
future.

Make the Scout age
Bigger and Better

Attention. Scouts! Have you ever
noticed that the scout page which the
chicftain gives us every Monday is
not full of scout news and happen
ings. All right. Glad so many OF
you noticed it. Now, how are We Eo-
ing to fix 1t so that We do have moro
space? Kemcmber. VIC are supposed to
fill that page. and we can have the
space IL we want it. So what are
VIC going to do about it? Why not
fill 1t up like We are supposed TO do?
Now what We want is this. Write
up n report of every hike which your
troop takes and send it in 10 scout

page. If your troop does anything
interesting, or which will help an
other troop in any way, be sure that
II goes into hcadqulrtcrs at the carli-
est possible moment II 1t is at all

Second Glass Scout Cecil Wilson Of
Troop 6 lost his dog and was very
much concerned about II. After look
ing over the community for long
time he had almost decided that his
dog was gone for sure when he met
two other boys who directed him to
the place where they told him he
could find his pet Upon arriving at

the South Side. he found his dog
with a broken leg. The leg had been
broken In two plnccs. lie quickly
noticed that the wounded leg had been
neatly bandaged with n good nccktic.
Upon his inquiry as to who had be-
friendcd his pet in such an expensive
way for the owner OF the tie. he was
told by the other two boys that a
boy scout who did not tell them his
name saw the wounded dog and hav-
ing no other available cloth, removed
his nccktie and bandaged up the brok-
en- leg. Now Scout Cecil Wilson Is
trying to find out the identity of the

PUEBLO COURT OF HONOR WILL
HOLD PRIMARY MEETING

The Pueblo court of onor, has now
been organized for the year 1921 for
the Pueblo council and the first meet
ing will be held in Judge Miricks
court room probably I'm the early part
of next month. Judge Mirick is chair
man OF the court of honor and the
probable members are Frank Hoag,
Walter l.. Wilder, Judge Trimhlc and
R w. Corwin. The court of honor
will meet once each month and cx-
anime candidates for the merit badge
tests and for the purpose OF award
ing first class badges. There is also
another branch of the court of honor
that consists of expert examiners in
the various lines. Mr.. II. Il. SpanS
ler is special examiner for automo-
billing, machinery, carpentry and cleo
tricity. Coach w. :. kettcring is spe-
cial examiner for athletics and DIR.
w, l.. Buck is special examiner for
personal health and public health. As
applications are received for other
merit badges other special examiners
viii be added to the court of honor.
so that afa,r a few months, there will
no doubt be 30 or 40 special examiners.
An explanation to persons who do
not understand the meaning OF merit
badges might well be given here. After
a boy scout reaches the rank of first
class scout. which is the very high
est rank. before he becomes a merit
badge scout, he begins to work for
merit badges.

OF trade or occupation. For instance,
a scout may receive a merit badge

parts and their uses. Before the scout
receives his merit badge, however, he
must take a strict exs nination. un-
der an expert in the subject for which
he hopes to receive a merit badge.
There are over so merit badges, now
representing over so occupations and
trades and the big value of the merit
badge is that after scout has passed
several merit badge tests, he has a
fair idea as to what occupation he
wishes to make his life work. This
Is in fact a very wonderful feature
of scouting, and scouting has done n
splendid piece of work when it has
helped hundreds of boys to find the
work in life that they like best.
After n scout has passed his test
under an expert examiner, he goes
before the court of honor in Judge
Mirick's court room and is further
questioned, and IL found satisfactory,
his application for merit badge is
sent to New York. The scout in turn
the coveted merit badge.
Several scouts are now working on
merit badges and some have already
passed their merit badge tests and
will appear before the court of honor
at its first meeting Scoutmaster l..

merit badge tests: electricity, mach!n-
cry, carpentry, automobiling, cycling.
