PENSION GOES WITH CROSS
Most. Highly Pr,zed Decoration of the
eritiah Army Also Carries a
Financial Reward

In the original instrument, drawn
up in 1856, when the Victoria cross
vas instituted, Rule IA declares:
at is ordained that every warran4
officer, petty officer, seaman or ma
rine or noncommissioned officer OIL
soldier who shall have received the
cross shall from the date of the act
by which the decoration has been
gained, be entitled to special pen
sion of f10 a year, and each addi-
tional bar conferred under Rule 4
on such warrant or petty officers or
noncommissioned officers or men
shall carry with it an additional pen
sion of f5 per annum."
The Rule 4 referred to provides
that when a man who holds the Vic
toria cross performs another act Of
bravery that would have entitled him
TO the cross if he did not held it,
he shall have a bar. Apparently the
number of bars he may win is un~
Emitted.
In 1898 an alteration was agreed
to in regard to the rule about Victo-
ria cross pensions.
"In July, 1898, it was decided
that, at the secretary of states dis
cretion, a sum of ESQ a year may be
granted by way of pension in lieu of
the f10 which has accompanied the
V. G. since its institution"
This is a difference only in amount
avery welcome difference in some
cases no doubt. 1t does not extend
the scope of the grant, for only such
men may get the $50 a year as were
before entitled to the SO, seeing
that the ESQ is "in lieu Of the G10."

The Old Fashioned social CIV
en- by the Epworth League on
last Saturday evening was sue
cess IN every way. The young
and old enjoyed the affair alike.
The League always comes to the
front in a social way as well as
IN the devotional way. We have
a great bunch of young people
and they surely know how to do
things,
Our Sunday School is still
growing there being quite an ad-
vance last Sunday over the prev
ious Sunday and big gain over
the year before. We are hoping
that the interest will still con-
tinue until we reach our goal and
then another one that will be set
later.
The services on Sunday was
well attended especially the eve
ning service. The auditorium
was full and chairs down the
aisles filed. John Hantla one of
our own boys who graduated
from Meade High School few
years ago was the Preacher. He
preached an excellent sermon,
one that appealed to young and
old alike. The music was fur
nlshed by the High School stud
ents who we're present and there
was enough present to fill our
large choir loft.
The best thing about the SER
vice on Sunday evening was that
at it's close an opportunity was
given for those who desired to
express their willingness to re-
spond to Gods call, anytime,
anywhere, He might call them
and 19 of the young people came
forward to the alter and conse-
Grated themselves to the service
of God. This was perhaps one
of the greatest events in the his
tory of our church and we will
some day realize the greatness
of this service if we do not see it
now. .
There will be preaching at
Lake View on Sunday afternoon.
Rev. P. c. Herbert OF Fowler
will preach at Artesian on next
Sunday afternoon.
An invitation is extended TO all
TO worship with us in all OF our
services.

Martial Law In England.

Martial law has not been known in England for considerably over cen tury. Yet it's validity in times of do- mestic trouble and war is recognized by clause from the petition of rights inserted in the army act which parliament passes every year. Essen tially, martial law means that the or dinary law is suspended, because 1t is too cumbrous and slow. in favor of summary judgment in times of great stress. The last occasion it was pro claimed in London was the Gordon riots in 17SO, and the Jacobite rebel lions of 1715 and 1745 brought about the same state of affairs throughout Great Britain.-London Chronicle.

Egyptian Baseball.

Careful investigation would show that the baseball and football games as played today are but evolutions Of games played long ago in Egypt" said the assistant professor of physical .edu- cation in the University of Wisconsin. Many tablets found in forgotten ruins indicate a knowledge of the game of baseball among the Egyptians. In the time of the Greeks football had gained some prominence. And the Greeks ex- perienced the same evil which the col leges of today have to combat, that of professionalism. Winning became a mania. They would go to any length to get successful men. Finally 1t was necessary to abolish the Olympic games by royal edict."

To the Editor of Valdez Prospector As a number of people have asked me why M. o. Adams has left this town when he declared that he had come to stay, take this opportunity to enlighten them and warn others against attempting to practice den tistry without a license. Adams has no diploma, had no license or right to practice here and could not pass an examination when the time came. As Secretary of the Alaska Dental Association I was requested by some members to write to the Alaska Board of Dental Examiners and ask if Adams had a license. The sec retary of the board stated that Ad- ans had no license and was subject to prosecution if he continued to prac- tice. He was notified and left Val deg. Yours truly,
