History Told by Medals

duced In this way seems to have been
the medal of Pope julius H., struck
about 1906.
In Germany, Albert Durer was an
early exponent of the art who won
great fame, and the Dutch jettons, or
medalets, which were issued in the
sixteenth and the early years of the
seventeenth centuries, afford prac-
tically imperishable record of the
stirring events which, during that
time, centred the whole attention of
Europe upon Holland. The English
medallic art goes back no further than
Henry VIII, but onward from the
reign of Edward VI. we find con-
tinuous series of coronation medals.
Today, of course medals are issued
principally as rewards for naval and
military services. The first of such
war medals struck in England was
the ARK in Flood" medal of Queen
| Elizabeth, designed as reward for
naval valor, while the first English
military medal was designed by order
of Charles l. in 1913.
Probably, however, the earliest in
stance in England of q medal struck
to commemorate particular military
action was the Dunbar" medal. is
sued by the Parliament. Later Qrom
1888 it become customary to dis
tribute medals among the troops en-
| gagged in any successful action or
campaign. Notable in this series is
the treasured medal of silver. issued
in 1916 with the head of the prince
lregent upon the face, and upon the
reverse figure of Victory seated up
on a pedestal, inscribed, Waterloo,
June Is, 1915, wellington"
Although strictly the word medal
is the same of metal, through the low
Latin medalla, 1t is not, perhaps, con-
sistent with the principal of nunlis-
MATES to include under that head
crosses and Maltese crosses; but as
medals" we know the three great
orders of France, England and Ger
many-the Legion Of Honor, the Vic
toria Cross and the Iron Cross.
The first named was designed by
| Napoleon in 1902 as a recompense for
services either military or civil, while
the famous Prussian order was insti-
tuted on March 10, 1919, by Frederick
William Ill, to do honor to Butcher
and to be conferred for distinguished
service In war The badge of the
Legion of Honor consists of a Ave-
lrayed white enamel cross. that of the

Considers This Ss,s63 Mlsspent.
To the Editor of the Evening Star:
sir-In looking over copy of the
treasurer's report for the year 1912, I
find column page 43D giving items
of payments made under authority of
the Commission for reorganization,
etc, of inter-related departments Of
the State" and find therein much food
for reflection on the results which
often follow movements started with
the best intentions
The items seem to cover the months
of July, August, September and Octo-
Der, and the total amounts to 1859.
OF this sum, $4,000 was paid to Ste
phen T. Williams and staff, for pro-
fessioual services in preparing report,
etc, to October Il, 1912 lit does not say
what time the professional services
began), and $3.50 to Howard B. Tindell
for services as clerk for four months.
If 'Mr. Williams and staff prepared
the report, what was Mr.. Tindell, the
clerk doing, and if Mr.. Williams and
staff charged 81, 900 for a brief term of
service, what will their bill amount to
for the time 1t will take to examine
all the State departments, and what
kind of service has Mr.. Tindell rem
dered in view Of the Williams and
staff item quoted above?
Mr.. Williams and staff are, I am in
formed. New York gentlemen, who
style themselves efficiency engi-
neers," and are, | am sure, in the
matter of ordinary commercial or
business office organization, fully up
to that high-sounding title in the mat
ter of qualifications. But from the
fact that about seven-tenths of the
money authorized to be paid out by
the commission goes to these New
York gentlemen, it seems reasonable
to assume that 1t is they who are con-
Quoting the Investigations for carry
ing on which the commission was APP
pointed, and as the work of almost
every administrative department and
board now organized under State laws
is to be gone over, under authority OF
the commission, it follows as a matter
of course, that Mr. Williams and staff
must have a technical knowledge OF
the manner in which the duties OF
each should be performed, much su.
perior to that possessed by their pres
emit official heads, Notwithstanding
that these have had years of expert
ence and training in dealing with
matters under their control.
If "Mr. Williams and staff are such
universal and manysided geniuses al
to be equal to such a task, it seem!
strange that their light has been 81
| long hidden under bushel.

of large sum of money being ex

ST. LOUIS, Feb. Thames Eads
How, self-styled "philosophic anarch-
ist' and deposed king of the hoboes,
had his fighting clothes on when he
reached st. Louis from New Orleans,
where he had been elected from the
national hobo convention.
How went at once to the local
Headquarters of the National Broth
erhood Welfare Association, 221 Elm
street and called meeting of his
followers.
After hearing a business report OF
the doings at the rendezvous" dur
ing his absence, the erstwhile head
of the Casual, migratory and I'M
skilled workers got seven charter
members of the association to sign
a petition demanding that the st.
Louis local be suspended from the
national organization.
The petition was presented to Ma
tional Secreatry Alexander Tyler, OF
Cincinnati, who happened to be pres
ent. and three minutes later the st.
Louis hoboes were pronounced off,
cially amputated from the national
body.
Turmoil in the ranks of the hoboes
who belong to the st. Louis local
caused the drastic action engineered
| by How, according to members OF
| the & association who were at the local
headquarters Wednesday morning.
During the suspension Of the St
Louis branch the national organizer,
w. p. Woodward, of Chicago, will re-
organize the local. He expects to do
this within forty-eight hours. Then
| he will give the local hoboes a new
charter and they will start all over
again.
Members of the St. Louis local
quoted How as saying that he intend
ed to rid the local organization of
drunks and buns" In the future any
person who Is admitted to member
ship must qualify. He must produce
references showing that he is a good
| hobo, and not drunk or a bum.
A fine distinction was drawn be-
| tween a hobo and a bum by Charles

Both from an artistic and histor-
zeal point of view, the study of med
ais is a fascinating one" Medals be-
ing struck to commemorate some no.
table event or to perpetuate the name
of a national hero, throw much light
upon history, in addition to furnish
ing faithful records of the progress of
art, from its rise, almost, to its apo
gee, and through the various phases
of decline and renaissance to its
modern state.
The study of medals being allied TO
the study of coins is worthy of note
that, according to Heroditus, the
Lydians were the first to introduce
the use of gold and silver tokens
stamped with an official device.
Medals, like coins, are made in most
of the precious metals, as well as iron,
copper, lead and alloys, Large med
ais are known as medallions, and the
earliest examples proper are medal
lions of ancient Rome, which for the
most part are of bronze, though some
are of silver and of gold.
These Roman medallions usually
have diameter of about one and a
half inches, but in weight they vary
very much Medallions of earlier date
than III A. D. are extremely rare and
consequently very valuable. A Well
known example, of great beauty, If
the gold medallion of Caesar Au-
Sustus.
OF much earlier date, however, are
the famous Syracusan medallions, sc
called. although they were used al
coins. These medallions, which are
generally admitted to be the fines'
and most perfectly executed that nave
ever been struck, belong TO the bes'
neriod of Greek art, 400-336 B. G. Or
