[ PONGAE 10 SEE DT LANCHANE | Strong Opposition to His New French Cabinet Is Expected From Radicals. | | By the Assoclated Press. { PARIS, November 12.—Having form- | ed his fifth cabinet, Premier Raymond | | Poincare today was ready to take an, [active part in the coming reparations | | negotiations looking to a revision of | | the Dawes plan. M. Poincare became premier without portfolio, giving the post of finance | minister, which he held in the cabinet that resigned Tuesday, to Senator Henri Cheron. He said he would devote all his time to “the solution of financial questions and negotiations with Ger- many and the allied countries in the settlement of the reparations and inter- allied debts.” Poincare ot Attend Meeting. This_announcement and his declar- ation that he was likely to leave Paris coon was understood to mean that he intended to represent France on the committee of experts which will take up final revision of the Dawes plan. The commission is expected to meet in Berlin, To the last the Radical party re- fused to let its members take part in the cabinet and the premier solved the six-day crisis without them. The com- position of the new cabinet is: Premier, Raymond Poincare; finance, Henry Cheron; interior, Andre Tar- dicu; foreign, Aristide Briand; war, Paul Painleve; marine, Georges Ley- gues; colonies, Andre Maginot; pen- sions, Louis Andteriou; _commerce, Georges Bonnefous; _public works, Pierre Forgeot; labor, Louis Toucheur; public instruction, Pierre Marraud; af riculture, Jean Hennessey; air, Laurent- Eynac. ‘Undersecretaries are: Labor, Alfred Oberkirch; physical education, Henri Pate; technical education, Francois Poncet. ' Six in Old Cabinet. Those who held the same posts in the former Poincare cabinet are Tar- dieu, Painleve, Leygues, Loucheur and Laurent-Eynac. M. Poincare has been premier in 1912, from January 15, 1922, to March 26, 1924, from March to June, 1924, and from July 28, 1926, to November 6, 1928. ' Friends of the premier view the new cabinet as not so solid as the preced- ing one and fear that the breach be- tween Radicals and Poincarists has been widened. CITY NEWS IN BRIEF. ‘TODAY.

CAPT. JENSEN IS D. C. MILITIA Wins Gold Medal at Camp| Simms With Percent- age of 95.83. Lieut. Everett Takes Second Honors in Close Com- petition. Capt. Just C. Jensen, State Staff, Ordnance Department, won the annual pistol championship of the District of Columbia National Guard yesterday at Camp Simms, Congress Heights, with the gold medal percentage of 95.83. Although only 14 militiamen had enough self-confidence to try their skill with the .45-caliber automatic, the com- petition was so keen that fractions had to be computed in order to determine the three prize winners. Everett Close Second. First Leiut. Hugh Everett, jr, Com- pany D, 121st Engineers, who estab- lished a world record at Camp Perry, Ohio, two months ago in the historic Wimbledon Cup match, trailed Jensen by only one-sixth of a point and cap- tured silver medal honors. 2 Third place and the bronze ‘medal were taken by First Sergt. Willlam G. Nicholson, 29th Military Police Com- pany, with an even percentage of 95. Considering that the War Department classifies soldiers as “pistol experts” when they average 85 or better, the high order of marksmanship displayed in this match can readily be observed. Firing was over the dismounted course and consisted of 2 5-shot strings in 11 seconds each, at a 5-inch bull's eye 15 yards away; 2 5-shot strings in 15 sec- onds each, at 25 yards; 10 shots, slow- fire, 25 yards, and 15 shots at a hob- bing target, same range. Others Who Qualified. In addition to the above prize win- ners, the following soldiers qualified as expert, sharpshooter, or marksman, and Will be entitled to wear the appropriate insignia on their uniforms: Pistol experts—First Lieut. Edward A. McMahon, Headquarters and Service Company, 121st Engineers, last year's champion, who was dethroned by Capt. Jensen, 92.83 per cent; Capt. Clarence S. Shields, Company E, 121st Engineers, rifie champion and champions, respec- tively, of the District Guard, 91.61; Sergt. George B. Martin, same company, 91.11; Capt. William I Mushake, Com- pany B, same regiment. 90.66, and First Lieut. Thaddeus A. Riley, Company E, CHAMPION PISTOL SHOT i CAPT. JUST C. JENSEN. PERSIA SHOWS SURPLUS. $6,000,000 in Treasury at Close of Fiscal Year. After paying all expenses, the Persian Government, at the end of its fiscal year, March 21, 1928, was able to report a $6,000,000 surplus in its treasury, the secretary in charge of economic affairs at the Persian embassy here announced today. This condition is said to repre- sent a complete restoration and stabili~ zation of Persian finances. Will Rogers Says: NEW YORK .—Arkansas voted last Tuesday against evolution and Re- publicans. They don’t want any- thing taught about either sub- ject in their schools. Houghton goes back to London as Ambassador. It seems his resig- nation was lost in the mails and didn't reach Mr. 7.44. Pistol sharpshooter—Stafl Sergt. Alex J. Thill, State staff, Ordnance Depart- ment, Camp Simms, 82.94 per cent. Pistol marksmen—Pvt. (first class) Donald A. Falk, Headquarters and Serv- jee Company, 121st Engineers, 74.61; Pvt. John M. Crandall, Quartermaster Corps, State staff, 72.89; Pvt. (first class) Eugene A. Ross, Company C, 121st Engineers, 69.11; Sergt. William R. Lane, Company E, same regiment, cap- tain of the George Washington Univer- sity rifle team, 65.11, and Pvt. Thomas A. Renau, Company D, same regiment, 62.72. Successful Target Season. The event closes one of the most successful target seasons ever enjoyed by the District of Columbia National Guard. Capt. Jensen, officer in charge of rifle and pistol practice, has worked untiringly for the promotion of small- arms firing among the different units, and, in addition, coached a team through the national matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, last Summer that outclass- ed 90 National Guard and civilian teams | from the varions States and Territories. For this victory the Capital riflemen came into possession of the famous Hil- ton trophy, which will be formally pre- sented at the Washington auditorium on “National Guard” night, November 27, by Brig. Gen. Milton A. Reckord, Maryland National Guard, —executive vice president of the National Rifle As- sociation. This ceremony has been made the occasion of a special uniformed assem- bly by the entire District militia. Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan will accept the trophy on behalf of the local guard, and will award numerous other prizes that have been won by his citizen sol- diers during the past year. HOSPITALS NEED HELP.
