His death was not expected His
wife was the only member of the
family at his bedside, though sever
eral of his political collaborates
were there
Premier CASTOR Doumergue at
cnce began plans for a national
funeral for one of Frances great
est modern statesmen. Poincare's
wife wants him buried at Nube-
court, and hence it was not expect
ed that an effort would be made to
bury him along with other great
Frenchmen in the Pantheon.
Poincare was loved by few but
respected by ali Frenchmen, not the
least by the many enemies he made
in politics, of whom one of the most
implacable was the late Georges
Clemenceau. The Tiger" who was
premier during the war while Poin-
care was president.
Poincare, though he was called
the Lion of Lorraine, was known as
man of deliberation and method
He was premier for the first time
in 1912 and 1913, during the critical
years just before the war. He was
his own foreign minister, and in ad-
dition to maintaining the closest of
relations with Great Britain, he
did all he could to forward friend
ship and close collaboration with
czariSt Russia, the third member of
the triple entente which was op-
posed to the German Austrian -Ital
ian triple alliance.
In 1913 he was elected president
for the term expiring in 1920. He
was one of the men who saw war on
the way, and he did everything he
could to prepare France for it. He
was in Russia on an official visit
when Archduke Franz Ferdinand
was aSsassinated at Serajevo in
1914, and the war was matter OF
weeks
During the war he was not or
good terms with Clemenceau. Dur
ing one period they dld not ever
speak. Their enmity was made more
bitter because Poincare did not like
the Versailles peace treaty.

! Leaving the presidency in 1920
| Poincare went back to the senate
He became premier for the seconC
time in 1922, and it was he WHIT
made the decision to march th'
French army into the German Ruin
when Germany did not pay repar
ations promptly.
He resigned in 1924 after a left

with a crisis hardly less menacing
than that of war.
Dlsregarding every consideration
but saving the currency, he stabil-
lied the franc at its present basis of
roughly one fifth of its former
value. Savings were swept away;
many men were ruined. Protest
availed nothing Poincare, deliber-
ate and hard headed, was sure he
had taken the only course. He won.
He built for France financial bull
wark which made her the envy of
almost all the world 1t was because
of his work that France was able
to stay on a gold basis when other
currencies were being inflated.
The funeral was fixed for Satur
day, in order that President Albert
Lebrun and several cabinet minis
ters could attend the funeral OF
King Alexander Thursday.

Who Are You?
The Romance of Your Name
BY RUBY HASKINS ELLIS.

THIS surname undoubtedly had It's
origin with the Apostle st. John,
and likewise a number of parishes in
Normandy are also named for the
saint. The family of st. John was
established in England soon after the
Norman Conquest. They were de-
scended from the great Domesday
baron, Hugh de Port. The spelling of
the name has gone through many
phases. In some parts of England the
orthography was corrupted into Sem
tion, Sension and Sinjin.
One of the first representatives of
the st. John family in America was
Matthias st. John, who came from
England and settled in Dorchester,
Mass, where he was made freeman
in 1884. There are now many de-
scendants Of this early settler. Mich
olas, his younger brother. came to
Wethersfield, Conn, in 1910.
