Medals of honor will not be awarded to

of life, or the performance of more than
ordinarily hazardous duty. Recommends
tons should be made only by the officer in
command at the time of the action or by
an officer having personal cognizance of the
specific act for which the medal is granted.

the act. The testimony must, when practi-

case must be further attested by the Of

march the Third New York and the One

took from Camp Alger to Difficult Run and
return so that certain of the officers might
win a champagne bet The report gives
the distance one way as 1917 miles, and says
that five hours were consumed in the trip,
going one way, including five stops of from
ten to thirty-five minutes in duration to
rest. 1t says that five hours were con-
sumed in the return, two days later. when
six stops of from five to fifteen minutes
were made.
The report also says that the colonel of

no knowledge of a champagne bet. The
colonel of the One-hundred-an fifty-ninth
reported not single man dead or dis
abled from the march, that no evil effects
resulted, and that there was no foundation
for the champagne story.
Attorney Ackerson has written to Secre-

letter he sent a statement, verified by the
