After two weeks of strenuous work
the campaign to collect $780, 900 for
the Mountainside Hospital in Mont
clair was brought to a close last
night with the announcement that
S225,145 had been subscribed. The
large corps of volunteer collectors
met in Company ks armory and set
up a loud cheer when the final an
nouncement of the sum was made.
On all sides congratulations were
in the campaign. Although the full
100000 had not been secured 1t was
felt by many that this sum was too
large to be collected in q fortnight.
Everyone was elated that they had
come so near reaching the big goal.
AS the amounts collected by each
team were announced the 700 men and
women who had been engaged in the
work cheered loudly.
Ragged Boy Gives Penny.
Amid all the excitement a small
boy, clad in very seedy clothes, made
his way to A. r. Hoffsommer, the
campaign director. and deposited his
gift to the fund. Wrapped in a piece
of paper the director found a penny,
with the note, "This is all I got"

Medal of Honor More Difficult to
Obtain Than the Coveted VIC

BY J. MADISON DRAKE, Historian
Army and Navy Medal of Homo
Legion, U. S. A.

10Y
Legion, U. S. A.
HEW citizens of this great, rich.
prosperous and peaceful land
today are aware of what the
medal OF honor means. IN
fact, a great majority of the soldiers
of the Union army never knew of the
congressional medal of honor, awarded
TO those who on land and sea hazarded
their lives in the performance of deeds
of valor so conspicuous that a grate-
full country set them apart for espe-
cial distinction. Nearly all the recip-
tents of the medal from congress We're
volunteers, whose heroism in the war
of s61-5 was one of the most notable
things connected with the history of
that great conflict.
The American medal winners number
fewer than LOO out of nearly 3.000,-
900 men composing the Union army.
On the impulse of the moment they
rushed where others feared to tread
through transforms of shot and shell
and red lines of deadly fire, even to
the flaming mouths of cannon. In per-
forming acts of such a character as
to clearly distinguish them above their
fellows for gallantry and intrepidity.
The congressional medal of honor
has little intrinsic value. 1t bestows
sole reward for many of the most gal
liant deeds emblazoned on the pages of
American history. 1t is more difficult
to obtain than the Victoria cross of
England, which entities the holder to n

of Honor of France. emitting the hold

Volunteer Heroes.
We have reason to expect deeds of
valor from the regular soldier. who fol-
lows the profession of arms for a liveli-
hood; from men whose sole duty is TO
drill and spend their whole lives in
preparation to fight; men trained to
arms and supposed TO be ready TO die
In defense of their country. But the
majority Of those holding medals of
honor were volunteers. The farmer boy
who in 1861 left his pillow in the fur
row, the merchant who closed his
store, the clerk who threw away the
pen, the workman who left the mill
and the schoolboy his books TO go to
the front won the greatest honor which
our government can bestow upon its
soldiers and sailors. Unskilled In the
