There will be an additional chevron for each additional six months of such service. Officers and enlisted men of the aviation service on combat flying duty In Europe will be credited for the war service chevron with the time they may be on, that duty. The wound chevron will be identical in appearance with the war service chevron, but it will be worn on the right sleeve. It may be worn by officers and enlisted men who receive or have received a wound in action with the enemy necessitating treatment by a medical officer. An additional chevron will be given for each additional wound, but not more than one chevron will be worn for two or more wounds received at the same time. Disablement by gas necessitating treatment by a medical officer will be considered as a wound. Red Tape Is Cut.

Wound chevrons. with the congressional Coupled medal of honor, these new decorations give to the American soldier virtually the same rewards for especial service that are offered in the French and British armies. The British have their Victoria Cross and the French their Medaille Militaire, and to these the American Congressional Medal of Honor sometimes referred to as the Valor Medal or American Star of Valor may be said to correspond. The new- American Distinguished Service Cross has no exact counterpart in the British army, inasmuch as the nearest thing to it, the D. S. O., is offered only to officers. The French Croix de Guerre (with palm) corresponds perhaps more closely. The American Distinguished Service Cross and the French Croix may be won by men or officers, regardless of rank. Perhaps, it was to meet this deficiency that the British in 1916 established a hew military medal for plain soldiers and noncoms. in recognition of bravery in the field. Within the two years 42,000 of these military medals have been given out. For the new American Distinguished Service Medal there is the Distinguished Conduct Medal in the British army (limited to and men), while in the French army its place is taken in part by the Croix fle Guerre (with star) and the Legion of Honor. The tendency in the British army has been to distinguish between officers and men in recognizing services, whereas the French pursue a more democratic policy, and in general treat officers and men on an equal footing in bestowing honors. Indeed, such distinction as is drawn in France Is in favor of the common soldier. The highest of all French military decorations the Medaille Militaire is giveit uly to the plain soldier and noncommissioned officer, or o a commanding general. Joffre and one or two others are the only officers who have received it. Follow French System. It is the French system that is to he followed In respect to the awarding of American honors.

Tit-Bit- s. ave the Babies Presidents Orders Have Cut Away Much Red Tape in the Conferring Rewards of War-Tim- e soldiers in France who distinguish themselves by deeds axe now honored by their own government in much the same fashion as are the heroes of other countries. warring From a nation which has never gone in very heavily for honors and decorations and whose representatives are distinctly forbidden by the constitution to accept them from foreign governments the United States has stepped into the larger circle of nations, among whom the bestowal of military honors of many kinds and degrees has an established custom, long been writes Foster Ware in the New York Evening Post. Not that exceptional heroism in war time has hitherto gone unrecognized here. Since the days of the Civil war there has existed a congressional medal of honor, which, though little known, is regarded by many as one of the highest military or naval decorations to be won in any land. This medal always has been and always will be the most coveted honor in our army and navy. But it has remained for President Wilson, acting upon the recommendation of General Pershing, to institute not only several new honors, but new rules for their award, which in some respects will revolutionize American practice in such matters. In a word, the order establishing our new war decorations is expected to cut away much of the red tape which enveloped, unfortunately, more than one American hero of the Two of a Kind.

London may be conferred upon women in the service of the army. To date, no measures have been taken to make similar provision for the navy, but this will undoubtedly follow. As.it is, the only war medal open to the American sailor or naval officer is the Congressional Medal of Honor. This places the marines in a strangely anomalous position with respect to honors. While at sea, the marines are under the navy and are subject to the rules regarding war medals obtaining in the navy. But the marines now in France are under the army and are technically entitled to receive any of the new army decorations. There, can be no doubt that the institution of new medals by President Wilson will have a beneficial effect upon the morale of the American troops in France. Acts of heroism of which we have already had more than one instance deserve recognition, and from the military standpoint such recognition serves better than anything else as a stimulus and incentive to all the troops. News of the presidents action is said to have been received with the greatest enthusiasm by our men now serving in France. For Extraordinary Heroism. The Distinguished Service Cross Is to be a bronze cross with ribbon. It will be awarded by the president, or by General Pershing, to any person who, while serving in any capacity with the army, shall hereafter distinguish himself or herself, or who, since April 6, 1917, has distinguished himself or herself, by extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United States or under circumstances which do not justify the award of the Congressional Medal of Honor. The Distinguished Service Medal will also be of bronze with a ribbon, and will be awarded by the president to any person who, while serving In any capacity In the army, shall hereafter distinguish himself or herself or who, since April 6 last, hasj distinguished himself or herself, by exceptionally meritorious service to the government ,1a a duty of great responsibility in time of war in connection with military operations against an armed enemy of the United States. Thus it will be seen that to win the D. S. C. It will be almost necessary for a man to see service In France, while the Distinguished Service Medal may be won by a man whose duties in the army are confined to this Hide of the waten . , EATONIC is the wonderful new Keep a close watch on your stomach this summer.
