IRON CROSSES ARE
GIVEN OUT WITH
GREAT L|BERAL|TY

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 1st.-That g.,
100000 iron crosses of the second class
and $4,000 of the first class have been
awarded during the war is shown by
announcements shown and published
in Berlin which have been received
here. Of this number 1860 were con-
ferred upon individuals behind the
'front.'" but it is certain that the num-
Der of persons wearing the decoration
who have never been under fire Is
even larger The classification "be-
hind the 'front.' probably applies only
noncombatants engaged in war SER
vice, and not to individuals, like Won
Jagow and other civilians who from
time to time have been stationed at
the main headquarters.
A horde of wearers of the iron cross
have been simply employed at the head
quarters and by the staff; never smell
ing powder unless perhaps it was dur
Ing the TepulS6 VI d lOuS ulSLduGc oil
plane raid AS an example of the
lavishness with which the crosses are
handed out a correspondent of The
Associated Press was present at a
luncheon party of eight at the head
quarters in 1915, where the seven Ger
mans present all had been decorated
and not a single one of them had ever
been under fire.
During the Franco-Prussian war
about one in every twenty participants
was given an iron cross, and except i'll
the case of high military commanders
and sons of royalty, it was awarded
only for exceptional bravery in the
field.
The value of the iron cross now has
become so debased, because of the vast
quantities granted and the number of
swiyel-chair heroes who have through
their influence received them, that
the establishment of a new order for
valor is being talked of.
