The Old Timer With The Medals Of Honor.

enlisted long ago. 1t was during the
Boxer rebellion in China that he
earned his first medal OF honor
Daley wasn't the first man over the
that particular section at which he
was stationed. He held back an en-
tire army corps, more or less. Of Box
ers until the rest Of the boys got up

his reward
The second medal came after lie

in san Domingo and routed them
single handed DALEY never displays
his medals except TO the friends OF
the major, on the majors orders.
Then he does it reluctantly lie has
something Of the attitude Of a miser

Although he must be full Of them.
Daley never tells a story. When the
boys gather in the clubhouse at
night Daley viii 20 out into the
camp and hunt up some old crOuv OF
former campaigns who IS story
teller and bring him back TO enter
tain the newly enlisted men. Then
he viii go 10 bed, for DALEY Is the

the older men Of the Marine corps.

in camp. The difference is that the
others expect 10 come back Daily

IF the Dutch don't get me-" he
SAYS, the weather will"
Daley IS an ola man. His hair is
snow white. and il he wore a beard
he would seem a patriarch But. IN
like most old men who know what
war Is. he Is glad America got into
the big fight The day war was de-
clared was the happiest OF his life.

MARINE Corps CantonmenJ.
q Nov. 5.-The only enlisted
1 h man in the service Of the
United States with two medals OF
honor is one Daniel Daley, top ser
geant OF a machine gun company Of
the marine corps IN training here.
He got his second medal only the
other day. Il Is strung on a blue rib

is to be worn around the neck. but
Top SergL Daley carries it in his
back pocket with his pipe. Not that
he doesn't appreciate it-that he
does-but in the back pocket with his
pipe IS a place OF honor. and besides
it wouldn't look well as a necktie. II
he wore one medal around his neck
he'd have TO wear the other there,
too, so as to show no discrimination.
Daley feels the only thing 10 do is to
keep them in his back pocket
