NEW WPREMIEROF
| FRANCE SAID TO
BE RADlCALIST
French Socialism May b
United By N. BRAND
To Outline Policy.

Paris. Jan. '17.-Little enthusiasm
was today evinced by newspapers
over the new BRAND cabinet, the
DEGREES Of appointment Of which
were printed this morning In the
0fncial Journal. Most journals ex-
pressed mild satisfAction or -reoorv-
ed judgment.
It is probable the new ministry
will present itself before the cham
ber Of deputies on Wednesday or
Thursday and n. RriAnd will at
that time read the governments
declaration Of policy.
ment OF N. BRAND ~ premier was
dot lost on the people Of this city.
They recalled his friendship with
Georges Clemenceau, who, while he
was head Of the French govern
ment, assisted in framing the
Treaty Of Versailles. and the close
ties uniting him with Raymond
PoincAire, who has stood for the
strict enforcement Of the Versailles
pact. AF
Speaking before parliament and
committee meetings, N. BRAND has
insisted that the treaty must be
carried out and that the interests
OF France in the near east must be
served. He has asserted French
troops could not be Withdrawn
from Cilicia at present because
such q step would be understood
! by the Moslems a. . sign Of weak.
ness, and he is known to hay'
viewed the return Of Constantine
! to the throne Of Greece as . cir
cumstance which should be used K
her profit by France.
Radical Toaleaey.
NJ. BRAND has been an advocate
Of complete solidarity betweel
France, Great Britain and the Unit
ed States, but has insisted tha
France must demonstrate to the al
lies that ''her house Is In orde
and we'll administered"
! The radical tendencies OF tn
inew premier are subject of com
, ment here. French socialism

, between communists and NOR
moderate elements, may hnd IN \

During the year 1920 the national
America issued medals as follows to
scouts for conspicuous service in life

Two gold medals, 13 silver medals,

pool, to save his scoutmaster from a
fallen live wire at the imminent risk
of his own life. Nine of the silver
medal cases were water accidents, and
in each case the rescuer showed ex-
ceptional courage and clearheaded-
uess The other silver medal cases
were live wire rescue, the rescue of
children from a burning building and
from automobile and truck accidents.
The third scout law requires that
scout shall be prepared at any time
to save life and help injured persons,
and the records Of the court Of honor
ahundantly prove that the boys are
living up to this obligation in full
measure. In additions to these 81
medals already mentioned, 81 letters
of commendation were sent by the
court Of honor to boys who per
formed deeds of exceptional excel
lence in life saving and hrst, aid. with
