BARNETT EXPLAINS
STRIPES OF MARINES
COmmandant Elucidates What CIV
ilians Find Mystery.

The little strips OF parti-colored
ribbon so often seen on the breasts
, of our Soldiers OF the Sea- are a
mystery to most civilians" says Maj.
Gen. George Barnett, commandant OF
the United States Marine Corps.
Every one-and-three-eighth inches
of the strip denotes that the wearer
is the possessor of a medal awarded
for valor or good conduct or of a
badge for service in some famous
campaign.
THE man with the light blue strip
decorated with white stars, possesses
the greatly coveted medal OF honor:
the blue, white, and red combination
means service in the Philippine insur-
rection: two bands OF blue and gray
Of equal width. service in the civil
war; two bands OF blue separated by
yellow, service in the Spanish war:
red, yellow, blue, yellow and red Dor
dered with blue, the Cuban occupa-
ton. One OF the easiest TO recognize
is the China campaign badge; a band
of yellow with edges OF blue"

Coal to Canada Halted;
President Heeds Protests

President Wilson has extended the
general embargo to cover coal and
coke, because of the danger OF Ameri-
can supplies of coal leaking TO Can
ada in such quantities as to increase
the fuel shortage, which already Is
acute, according to information obtain
ed at the Department OF Commerce to-
day. The Presidents order requires
that coal, coke, fuel and Iubricattng oils
be exported only upon issuance OF eX-
port licenses. This Will give the EX-
port Council complete control over
this sort of fuel leaving the country.
For several months there has been
a considerable leakage OF the Ameri-
can coal supply to Canada. Because
the United States is allied with the
British Empire in the wa against
Germany ii was considered inadvisa-
BILE to make any official outcry
against the situation. However, when
= price OF 50 per ton was set on coal
by the Washington Government this
fuel began moving into Canada in in

ARMY COATS DYED
DARK BLUE FOR
INTERNED TEUTONS

Tradition attached to the name The
Boys in Blue" is not to be destroyed
during the great war with Germany.
Nearly fifty thousand overcoats Of the
regulation army blue which Uncle Sans
soldiers used to wear are to be fur
nLshed interned Germans for use during
the coming winter. But before the Ger
mans are supplied with them the over
coats will all be dyed a dark blue.
The dyeing will cost not far from a
dollar a garment. probably. but officials
at the War Department say that II it
cost twice that amount it would still be
a good investment
Why, we'd no more think Of putting
those Germans in the good old army
blue than we'd think OF making the
Kaiser a Presidential candidate three
years from now" said one OF the high
officials at the War Department
This Is a business war. waged on
business principles. but there's senti-
ment about it which even the quarter
masters department must recognize" he
declared.
Bids for the dyeing are now In the
War Department offices awaiting sam

firms have not yet sent in 1t is ex-
pected that the big task will be started
within a short time. however, so that

That's another point upon which Uncle
Sam is sentimental. too. members Of
Congress think. for they say the same

creased quantities. because OF larger
prices offered in the Dominion.
The authorities at Washington for
several weeks have been flooded with
reports OF increased shipments OF coal
to Canada and complaints from Ameri-
can industries, chiefly in New Eng
land. Members OF Congress from
New England States as well as from
other parts OF the country have filed
with various administrative officers
here, correspondence voicing pro-
tests against the leakage to Canada,
in view OF the obvious coal shortage
at home.
One OF the heavy drafts on Canada's
coal supply has been the coaling Of
ships. Halifax has become a busy coal
ing port for vessels in the trans-At-
lantic trade, especially since the sub
marines have driven many vessels
into the northern ATTITUDES.

Submarine Saver Is Built.

An ingenious craft for the salvage
Of submarines has just been launched
at Zaandam, the Netherlands, to the
order of the Spanish government. 1t
is a double-screw steamship made up
of two separate vessels six meters deep
and six meters broad, the fore and ait
decks of which are bound together
with an intervening space of eight me-
tiers, thus giving the entire structure
a breadth of 20 meters. The open
space is spanned by hosting apparatus
powerful enough to haul the sunken
submarines between the two halves or
the ship. The electricity-driven WIND
lasses have a total lifting capacity or
$50 tons, with a test load of 1,OOO tons.
On board the ship are four workshops
for the repair of the salved underwater
craft, together with a hold for the
storage of torpedo heads, which can
in case of fire be Immediately SUBJ
merged. The vessel is 92Ha meters
long.

Save YOUR Hair! Get a Is cent bottle

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

There Is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the halr

life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine

save your hair.

BELTS OF WAMPUM.
PRESENTED TO WILLIAM PENN
BY THE INDIANS.
Their Purpose Was to Cement Peace
Treaties Made With the Red Men
Two of Them Are Now in
New York Museum.

The museum of the American In
dian, New York. has recently an
nounced Through the New York Times
the addition to the collection of wan
pun belts of two which undoubtedly
belonged to William Penn. These two
belts and the one In the collection OF
the Historical Society of Pennsylvania,
form valuable addition to American
Indian lore. All three belts had found
their way to England as a part of the
Penn estate. The one owned by the
Historical Society Of Pennsylvania
was given to 1t by Granville John Penn
in 1857. He discovered evidence show
ing that it was gwen 70 William Penn
by the Indian chiefs who. in 1852, con-
firmed the treaty Of friendship con-
Guided at Shackamaxon. The two that
have been acquired by the New York
museum are said to share the same
distinction. the catalogue description
being as follows for the larger one:
Treaty belt. The original treaty
belt presented to William Penn by the
Indians. consisting of Is strings of
wampum (25A by 5A inches). the
ground being white, with four crosses
or diagrams in violet-colored beads,
made from clam or mussel shells"
And for the smaller one:
'"Treaty belt. A similar belt to
the above, consisting of Is strings of
wampum (25 by inches), the ground
white, with diagrams in violet-colored
beads. Originally there were three
belts, which belonged to the Penn fam
lily, but one was presented by Gran
Vile John Penn, great grandson of
William Penn, to the Historical So
ciety of Philadelphia.
"These belts formed all important
part in negotiating or carrying out
transactions with the Indians. BY
these MEANS writes Clarkson, the In
dams pledged themselves to live in
love with William Penn as long as the
sun and moon should endure The
belts probably refer to what is known
as the ELM Treaty."
Thus, while there appears to be
some doubt as to the exact purpose
for which each belt was intended. il
is not disputed that they were given
to Penn as evidence of the willingness
of the Indians to live in peace with
PENIS followers.
It may be that each belt was intend
ed to represent a clause in the treaty
remarks the Indianapolis News. 1t is
known that on similar occasions the
Indians formally signed treaty by
delegatirg to certain chosen represent
atives of their tribe the duty of re-
membering and passing on to poster
ity given clauses of the treaty. Be
fore the ceremony, the selected In
dams were provided with Wampun
belts. And during the ceremony the
belt was given to the white man as
evidence that the Indian understood
the clause assigned to him, approved
of it. and would pass its terms on tt
the next generation as binding. This
Penn treaty was known to eastern In
dams as long as they survived.
