Lieut. Col. Asa Bird Gardiner, L. S A,
retired has been ordered by the Secre-
tary of War to return to the War De-
partment the medal of honor awarded
him many years ago for gallant con-
duct during the civil war. The recall
of the medal was based on the report
of a special board of army officers, of
which Lieut.. Gen. \. A. Miles, retired,
was chairman, constituted by act of
Congress, to eliminate from the medal
of honor roll any and all persons found
to have been awarded such medals for
any cause other than distinguished con-
duct in action involving actual conflict
with an enemy.
The report of the Miles board has not
been made public. but it is understood
it expressed the opinion that Col.
Gardiner was the only officer now IN
the regular military establishment who
was not entitled to retain his medal
under a strict Interpretation of the
laws governing such awards.
Col. Gardiner formerly was United
States district attorney for the district
of New York city and now is resi-
dent of that city. He is in his seventy
seventh year and is prominent mem

Confidence in President.

Washington a long list of resolutions
and recommendations indorsed by peace
society delegates from different parts
of the country. who were called to-
gether by the society for the purpose
of taking united action in view of the
international crisis. A ma jority of the
delegates baked at a proposition to ex-
press unlimited confidence in President
Wilson and the resolution finally
adopted expressed confidence only in
the sentiments contained in his peace
address to the Senate. The conference
decided to make this speech the basis
of publicity campaign against the
entrance of this country into war.
This campaign will be conducted
through the newspapers, by the circu-
lation of leaflets and by speaking tours,
and the peace organizations will at
tempt to influence members of Congress
by letters and personal appeals.
A scheme of international adjudica-
ton with The Hague conference as its
basis was approved.
