date when war was declared, April 8,
1917. About the shield is a laurel
wreath for victory, and the design is
encircled by those immortal words OF
Lincoln's that government by the peo-
pie shall not perish"
The creation of a medal requires
more than mere ability to execute a
beautiful design. The medalist must
in addition be gifted with an magma
ton that can perceive the striking fea-
lures of an occasion and interpret
them in picture form 1t is really a
reversion to the ancient way of re-
cording events. The savage peoples
the American Indians, for instance
cut pictures in stone telling stories
which to this day can be translated
into historical records
Moreover, the mechanical process of
making the design for a medal is just
the reverse of the method used in
making a piece of sculpture. A sculp-
tor first makes a small model, which
he then copies on a larger scale The
medalist, however, makes the model
three or four times larger than the
medal itself is to be. This means that
infinite care must be taken to keep the
designs simple enough to show up eff
fectively in the small size.
A work of art is always made with
the idea of being everlasting, and this
is particularly true of medal The
little metal disk, whether gold, silver
or bronze, is practically indestructi-
BILE Medals made centuries before
Christ are still in perfect condition.
This makes the medal peculiarly suit
able for recording historic events. Fur
thermore, it is possible to strike off an
unlimited number of copies of the orig
Iinal design, each one an exact replica
of the artists work.
MedaIist Works In Wax.
The medalist makes his model first in
wax. From this a plaster cast is made,
and from that, in turn, bronze plate
| is cast. This casting is placed at one
end of the die cutting machine, and
the block of steel on which the die is
to be cut is placed at the other end.
Both the bronze casting and the steel
block revolve simultaneously. A steel
point attached to long bar rests
against the bronze casting, following
every detail of the artists work. At
the other end of the bar is another
point, which also revolYes, Saalowing

Howard Taft and others.
In the earliest times medals were
used as crude symbols of religion, ma
tional power or individual greatness.
OF later years the medallic art has
been developed to record artistic, eco
nomic and patriotic achievements so
that modern nations medals show
the history of that nations progress
toward civilization This use of med
ais has caused the making Of them to
be a distinct art in itself 1t has been
defined as the link between sculpture
and painting. The design of a medal
must be not only decorative, but sug-
gestive of, the occasion intended to be
commemorated. For instance, all the
characters on the shield of the Ameri-
can war medal are symbols, and these
symbols, combined with the spread
eagle behind. the stars in the border
and the motto, do right and fear no
man. tell a complete story in picture

The spread eagle of America stands
in back of the shield, supporting the

the original Thirteen States, which are
represented by thirteen stars in the

When the organization first 4arted
its work large proportion of s8pplies
went to Normandy and Brittany. 1t
soon became apparent that Normandy
by reason of its neaness to certain
bases, was better able to obtain its
necessities. Efforts were then directed
to the Brittany hospitals which were
situated in picturesque and primitive
villages far from the railways and
seemed unable to attain even a meagen
portion of the things most needed.
Now after months Of organized relief
work, the fund is flooded with appeals
from doctors and nurses in the military
hospitals from one end of France to the
other.
1t has been the policy Of the fund to
ship supplies only, using all contribu-
lions of money for the purchase of ar
ticles in America. This has been done
with the double purpose Of helping the
American workers and their industries
as well as the French hospitals In ad-
dition, certain designated funds are
sent to Paris for the use of the Paris
depot as a discretionary fund for the
purchase of articles for special emer-
gencies.
Ships Carry Goods Free.
All materials donated or purchased
in America out of cash funds contrib
uted are shipped, free of charge, on
French steamers direct to Bordeaux.
On the arrival at Bordeaux the cases
are placed in cars provided by the
French government and carrying spe-
ciaI notices on the outside, insuring
prompt transportation. Cases from
points as remote as San Francisco
have been delivered at Paris within
six weeks of the date of shipment.
Recently the American Fund For
French Wounded has become affiliated
with the American ambulance field
service. This arrangement is of the
greatest value in forwarding supplies
to the hospitals at the front where the
motors driven by women cannot go.
Every week the field service sends
several automobile ambulances to its
various sections to replace ambu-
lances destroyed or worn out in serY-
ice, and occasionally new sections Of
twenty or more ambulances leave Par
is for the front.
Each of these cars before leaving is
packed with surgical dressings, pill
lows, blankets, shirts, pajamas, socks,
comfort bags and whatever other SUP
plies are available, to be distributed
by the American drivers among the
hospitals or among the individual
wounded soldiers in the dressing sta
tons which the American field service
serves. No agency could be more effec-
tive or more appropriate for conveying

BRITISH CREEP
Up On THE TOWN

TRepublicsn A. p. Leased Wire]


British forces in France are gradu-
ally creeping up on the important
town of St Quentin, considered one of
the German strongholds. fAlso north
west of the town they are swinging
their line forward in a Strengthening
out movement that is making good
strides eastward.
Meanwhile the French forces under
General NiVele are keeping up their
offensive south and southeast of st.
Quentin and again have made good
progress north and south of the ALL
lette river. They have captured sew
eral German trench systems and or
ganiZed points of support east of Neu-
Vile Sur Margvil, inflicting heavy
casualties on the Germans and driving
them back to the outsllirtsaof VauXail-
Ion and LaffauX
West of st. Quentin the British have
thrust their line through the village of
Savy and the Wood of. Savy and now
are resting only three miles from st.
Quentin. Near Savy the Germans re-
sisted tenaciously but finally were
beaten off. losing heavily IN killed and
wounded. North of this region tie vii
lagos of Vendelles, on the st. Quentin
Croisiles road, and Epehy and Peizi-
ere. have been taken by Field Marshal
Haig's forces.
The German war office admits that
the German line from a distance from
one quarter to two miles was forced to
give way before the British in the re-
gion bounded by the Peronne- -Gouze-
aucourt road and the Omignon Brook,
but says the British suffered heavy
losses.

LONDON, April Reuters Am
sterdam correspondent says that
semi official Berlin telegram states
that in German political circles the
following view is taken of the inter
view with Count Czernin. the Austro-
Hungarian foreign minister i'll the
tremdenblatt, in which he was quoted
as saying that the entente could con-
c,ude an honorable peace and that the
proposal of the central powers for a
peace conference still held good:
we joyfully greet the frank utter
ances of the well-tried leader of the
Austro- Hungarian policy. They will
doubtless contribute to dissipate
rumOrs which the enemy has cried that
the central powers are interestd in
a Russian reaction and are willing to
assist it to return to power. Count
Czernin thus closely adheres to the
utterances of Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg in the reichstag. 1t
lies now with Russia to reply to these
clear and unmistakahle utterances of
the German and Austrian statesmen.

THO INJURED IN

Another chapter was added to the
already long string of accidents on
North Central avenue last night, when

Cured near the Thomas road.
As in a similar case some weeks ago,
the car which is alleged to have caused
the collision, sped north on Central
avenue. without waiting to see if any
one was injured.
The machine driven by Clausnen
was coming south on Central avenue.

attempting for some time to pass a
machine. and that every time he sped
up. the car ahead would also speed,
and dare him to race He refused the

other car which happened along about
that time stopped and its occupants
aided in extracting Mrs. Cooper from
her uncomfortable position.
Both the mother and son We're car
ried into the Thomas residence. and
first aid rendered. Dr. II. II. Hughes
was called, and gave medical atten-
ton. The boys arm is broken, and it
is thought Mrs. Cooper is internally
injured.
The young boy thought he caught a
glimpse of the number on the car
which hit the Clausnen machine. and
gave it to the sheriffs office. A drag
net was put out. and in short time, a
car bearing that number and answer
ing the description of the wanted ma
chine was picked up. There was not
mark on it however and as the
driver was able to account for his ac-
tions during the evening, he was set
at liberty.
Clausnen stated last night that he
was driving at a very low rate of speed
when the accident happened, in fact
when he saw the other machine ap-
preaching he practically stopped. He
was not exactly positive as to which
side of the road he was on when the
crash came, though the machine when
it finally came to rest up side down.
