FRENCHMAN'S GOOD NAME
A special court-martial in Paris d<s dared itself incompetent to act when M. Joseph Louis Brun asked that publicity should be given to mistakes made by the military authorities in having sentenced him to death for, desertion in 1916, and then, in 1931. in having awarded him the Medaille Militaire, only to take it away again ten months later.
M. Brun, who in the first case proved an abibi and in the second was told, after he had already worn the decoration, that it was intended for another M. Brun, finds that his friends look upon him with suspicion, which only a public explanation will disperse. Unfortunately, M Brun can find no authority capable of giving one.
