ernoon on the bed in the tiny, sim
ply furnished room In which he
died. The first important visitor
was President Paul Doumer.
A member of tho household said
BRAND had been jovial when he
returned from Cocherel last week
and boosted he felt better than
ever"
BRAND was an extraordinary fg-
ure In his latter years. His heavy
shaggy head seemed too large for
comparatively slender body. His
eyebrows were shaggy, his NOUS
tacho loosely trimmed, and at the
council table he often seemed to
be mapping. But should something
be spoken that interested him, he
came to life and In a twinkle his
blue eyes were flashing about the
table and his hoarse, semi-croak-
Ing but eloquent toice was lifted
In forceful expression. He smoked
so cigarets n day, retired each even
Ing at s o'clock after drinking a
large glass OF milk ana generous
tot" or rum.
BRAND occupied every high Office
his beloved France could give ex-
cept that of president. He was de-
feated for that Office In 1881 whom
It seemed certain he would win.
But the defeat did not dim his
prestige. He continued as minister
for foreign affairs until January,
1882 when Ill health forced his re-
tirement.
Perhaps BRANDS greatest contri-
button to France was the difficult
negotiations he carried out with
Germany following the war. He
ordered tho occupation of the Ruhr
In 1921, later formed close friend
ship with Gustave Stresemann, the
German statesman. He was instru-
mental In formulating the Locarno
pact and In the Anal evacuation OF
the Rhineland by the French IN
1880. He also negotiated the WASH
ington and London settlements OF
war debts. With American Secre-
.tary OF State Kellogg he framed
the BRAND Kellogg treaty by which
the nations Of the world renowned
was as an instrument OF national
policy. In 1880 he proposed the
United States of Europe and fought
bravely for realization Of this ITO
plan conception.
He entered the French parlia-
ment In 1902. In 1905 he was a
cabinet member for the first time
and in 1909 formed his first gov
eminent. In 1914 he obtained the
parliamentary order that caused
Joffre to halt his retreat and fight
the Germans on the Marine. In 1915
as foreign minister he answered
German proposals for France with
his famous formula: "Restitutions,
Preparations, guarantees"

The president opened the Nd
tional Baby Bond campaign In An
address from the White House last
night. On the same national hook
up with hime were Charles q.
Dawes, president of the Reccii-
struction Finance Corporation. Oy-
den l.. Mills, secretary of the treas
ury, and Senator Robinson, Ar
kansas, democratic senate leader.
Mr. Hoover said the appeal TO
put idle dollars to work was ~
call to the faith of the people, a
call that would bring the country
back to normal.
1.-THE safest risk in the world -

lean people," he said. THE AMER
lean people have at this moment
one OF the greatest opportunities
in their history to show an assured
confidence and an active faith IN
their own destiny which is the des-
tiny Of the United States andsby
that faith we shall win this battle"
Secretary Mills explained the
Baby Bond issue. These bonds. or
treasury certificates, are in de-
nominations of $50, 500 and $500.
and bear 2 per cent interest. They
will be dated March Is and Will

They are u direct gold obliga-
ton of the government, redeem

tice. They are intended to afford
thoroughly safe investment for
timid money, but bear low inter-
est rate to discourage withdraw
ing cash from banks to buy them.
Dawes. addressing his remarks
directly to the hoarders, pointed
out that each man had perfect
right to do what he pleased with
his money, but added:
BE cause so many other people
at the same time have done the
same thing, you now occupy q new
relationship to the existing bust
ness depression and unemployment

Cured u new and individual re-
