by parliament In 1850. 1t was the first
medal, as fur US Is known, to be issued
to all ranks alike, from the humblest
soldier to the commander in chief.
There were two issues Of the medal,
but on the diverse Of both of them was

with battle raging in the distance. It
was no choice Of Cromwell's that his
likeness appeared on the medal. In a
letter addressed to the Committee Of

likeness should not appear on the med.

adds: Wherefore, II I may beg 1t as a

Famous Maryland Artists.

Maryland has reason to be proud Of
the two artists, Charles and Rem
brandt Peale. The former was born
at Chestertown, Nd, in 1741. Like
Robert Fulton, he was both artist and
inventor. Charles Peale started life
as q saddler, then silversmith, watch
maker and carver. He went to BOs-
ton and studied under the celebrated
Copley, and later in London under
Benjamin West. Then came the honor
Of painting the first portrait Of Wash
ington as Virginia colonel In 1772.
Daring tho revolution he commanded a
company at the battle Of Trenton and
Germantown and was member OF
the Pennsylvania convention Of 1777.
BE, however, rendered greater serv-
ice to posterity by painting the por-
traits Of the leading officers Of the
Revolution, and was one Of the pro-
motors of the Academy Of Fine Arts in
Philadelphia. This most versatile man,
besides inventing great variety OF
machines, was the first American man
ufacturcr of enamel teeth. He died In
Philadelphia in 1927. but his art lived

limited Press Leased Wire Service.1
LONDON, June 15.-How great
strategic retreat Germany is prepar-
ing around what used to be the Ypres
salient, was subject of the keenest
speculation in military circles today.
It was accepted as foregone con-
clusion that with Field Marshal
Haig's tightening squeeze OF the tri-
angle of ground between the Ypres-
Lille canal on the one side and the
river Lys on the other, the Germans
would be forced very soon to eVacu-
ate all this territory up to Confines.
Some battlefront dispatches today
hinted such a retreat was already ac-
com plished in part. This is the Sec
ton In which Haig reported relin-
auishment, of first line positions by
the enemy yesterday. Bnofficiaf
news detailed that practically the
only German artillery fire was from
very long range guns. limiting that
most Of the German pieces have been
moved back.
London expects now to see another
powerful offensive thrust by the Brit
ish along the river Lys. 1t has been
part of Field Marshal Haig's strategy
in recent months to drive along the
course Of some great river--like the
Scarpe and the Sensee. The valley
of the Lys is likewise peculiarly
adapted to Haig's operations.
Another Rapid Blow.
LONDON, June 15.-Fleld Marshal
Haig drove forward in another rapid
blow at the German lines in the
Bottle Neck" between Ypres and
Confines, gaining all objectives, &C
cording to his report today. One
hundred and fifty prisoners and
number of howitzers with seven
machine guns were captured.
South and east of Messines,
astride the Ypres-Comines canal, we
attacked yesterday" the British
army commander reported. The
enemy was quickly overcome. Our
whole objectives were gained and
with the localities $50 prisoners, a
number of howitzers and seven ma
chine guns were taken. The Ypres-
Confines canal along which Hatg has
achieved this follow up" victory &c

Next Cereal Year Rapidly Approach

[By Lowell Mellett, United Press

TBy Lowell Mellett, United Press
Staff Correspondent
LONDON, June 15.-England is fol
lowing the American senate DEBATE
on the food bill with intense interest
The allies are admittedly anxious as
to Americas position in the food
problem of the world. That anxiety
is reflected daily in British newspa'
pers. The Mail and Post today, for
Instance, emphasize the vital inn
portance of early congressional
action so that the allies may know
Just how far they can depend on
Americas assistance and thus be
able to frame their own policies &C
cordingly.
Allen Anderson, chairman of the al.
lied wheat executive board. who ac-
companied the Balfour mission to tho
United States, thus summed up the
situation today for the United Press;
81 met many members OF the Amer
lean grain trade and believe they
fully realize the allies great and
urgent need I was assured every
where that private speculation was
no longer attractive and that all de-
sired to meet the crisis with the
least possible disturbance to trade
machinery. But how and when the
problem Of food control in the United
States is to be settled, is still OBJ
scure.
America must settle the matter IN
her own way--but we, who are de-
pending so much ON the United States
food supply, are anxiously awaiting
the solution. Until then we will be
unable to map out a comprehensive
program. The next cereal year is
now rapidly approaching.
Public opinion.
IBy Robert J. Bender, United Press

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Food
control by the people instead of by
congress may be necessary-at least
for edibles derived from the first
harvests.
Public opinion may be the only
power, Herbert Hoover, food admin
istrator, will have behind him to di-
rect the cons ervation and distr1bu-
tion Of life's necessaries this year;
Congress is in rut from which
only a miracle can dislodge it in time
to pass the food control bill by July l.
Every effort wilt be made by ad-
ministration forces to get 1t through
at least by the middle\o of July. The
American Federation of Labor is
also behind the drive.
But there appears to be a general
apathy toward the bill in congress,
which only direct action by President
Wilson and the country will be able
to change. In the house, where the
bill comes up for debate Monday, re-
publicans have been blocking prog
ress on it. In the senate. 1t is the
democrats who are standing in the
way.
The house will pass the bill IN
week but the bitterness of senate op-
position, illustrated by the attack
made on the measure yesterday by
Senator Reed, Missouri, augers i'll for
