eral order commencing the courage and
gallantry of Franz Anton Itrich. chief car
penter's mate, U. s. NJ. and has awarded

ing the operation was largely due to his

1t is easily possible for a news

papers to newsstands which are re-

turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
