TORETA|NM MEDALS
GIVEN BY FRANCE

Because OF the absence OF Secre-
tary OF War Baker, It was not pos
sible to determine today whether
members OF the Lafayette escadrille
who join the command OF Gen. John
J. Pershing will be allowed to retain
the medals they won for bravery and
efficient service.
The air fighters who have been dec
GRATED by France are willing to Join
General Pershing's command. but they
desire to wear the medals they receiv-
ed II they are mustered into the
American forces. according to a dis
patch from Paris to the New York
World.
Should the War Department author
lie General Pershing to take over
members OF the. famous flying corps,
the American army will be enriched
by many frst-class airmen. In ad-
dltion to trained flyers on the battle
field, there are Americans in the
French aviation schools. many of
whom will soon be breveted full
fiedged pilots.
As yet there Is said to be no IN
stance Of an American aviator chang
ing his French uniform for olive drab,
but many are reported to be willing
to Join General Pershing IL they are
permitted to wear French decorations
and are granted commissioned rank.
