large" The question is answered in
the following extracts from the war
department regulations governing such
awards:
|. In order that the congressional medal
of honor may be deserved, service must
have been performed in action of such a
conspicuous character as to clearly dis
tinguish the man for gallantry and In
trepidlty above his comrades, service that
involved extreme jeopardy of life or the
performance of extraordinarily hazardous
duty. Recommendations for the decora-
ton will be judged by this ST ndard of ex-
traordinary merit, and incontestible proof
of performance of the service Will be
exacted. IL. Soldiers of the Union have
ever displayed bravery in battle. else vic
tories could not have been gained, but as
courage and self sacrifice are the charac-
terstics of every true soldier such a
badge of distinction as the congressional
medal is not to be expected as the reward
of conduct that does not clearly distin-
guish the soldier above other men whose
bravery and gallantry have been proved
in battle.
Many officers of the American army
and navy and veterans of the civil
war whose names are widely known
belong to the Medal of Honor legion.
The bulk of the membership Is made
up, however, of men whose names are
known only in the communities where
they reside, but whose bravery proved
of signal service to their country s

Yates for the most part rather than
generals and colonies.
The design of the congressional med
al was adopted by congress in the ear
ly sixties. Later, when the q. A. II.
was organized, it copied the shape of
the medal, although the design of its
badge and the ribbon attached are diff
ferent. AS 1t Is somewhat difficult to
distinguish between the G. A. Il. badge
and the congressional medal new
design for the latter has within the
past year been adopted, and congress
has made an appropriation sufficient
to strike new medals. These will be
issued to all who make application for
tiitlu, lllC luelI

the Novoe Nremya, there is rapidly

The usual cause is the extreme pov.

because the wife desires to be free
from a cruel, drunken partner. The
trade has become so common that few
