WHAT ARMY RIBBONS SIGNIFY
America Rewards Its soldiers with
EmblCms OF Service.

From the Army and Navy Journal.
The war department is receiving
many inquiries from a pardonably Gu
rlous public as to the meaning OF tho
various insignia worn on the uniforms
Of officers and enlisted men of the
army. ard as a result has authorized
tho following.
The little strips of parti- colored rib
hon worn on the left breast, each of 4
prescribed length OF one and three
eighth inches are army service rib
hons each ribbon having its own par
ticular significance. The strips are
symbols standing for medals and CAM
paign badges which the .bearer is en-
titled to wear. There are ten of these
houors recognized by the army. Two
are medals Of honor, one a certfl-
cate of merit and the others badges
OF historic campaigns. Obviously 1t
would be impractical for the possessor
10 wear his medals and badges on his
service uniform. and 80 he wears the
little ribbon symbol instead. The rib
bons are as follows:
Congressional Medal OF Honor
White stars on a field OF light blue
silk This medal Is awarded only by
congress for some particular deed OF
glllantry in action. II is the most
coveted of all army honors.
Certificate of Merit Badge-Two
red white and blue bands separated
ty a thin band of white, the blue
being outermost IN each instance.
This honor is conferred by the presi-
dent.
Philippines Congressional Medal
Blue hand In center thanked by stripes
OF white. red, white and blue, the blue
on tho outermost edges of the ribbon.
This ribbon is worn by those men who
stayed in the service after the conclu-
sion OF the SpInish-American war to
put down the Philippine insurrection.
civil War-Campaign ribbon OF
equal bands OF blue and gray.
Indian Wars-Grisht red, with mar
row edges OF deeper red.
Span s. h Campaign - Alternating
stripes OF yellow and blue. This Is the
most familiar OF all campaign ribbons.
Philippine Campaign-Blue bano In
center. flanked by narrower bands or
red. blue edges,
Cuban Occupation (time of Spanish
war and several years thereaftcr)
Blue in center. thanked by narrow yell
low stripes, then broader red stripes,
and finally blue borders.
Cuban Pacification Indicating SER
vice IN Cuba during the period 1906
1909. when the United States straight
ened out governmental affairs for the
new republic)-Broad olive drab CEN
ter. flanged by three narrow stripes
OF red white and blue, the red on the
outermost edges.
China Campaign Indicating service
In the march TO Peking)-Broad band
OF yellow with narrow borders of blue.
Ribbons for gallantry in action are
worn farthest TO the left, followed by
campaign ribbons in chronological or
der.

NO MIDDLE GROUND.

II is extremely hard for some peo-
pie 10 realize that in time OF war
every man In the citizenship OF the
nation is either loyal man or u
traitor. There is no middle ground
OF neutrality. In times of peace we
have been accustomed to permitting
every man 10 have his unrestricted
opinion about everything under the
sun and have been slow to prevent
MIN from giving unrestricted utter
ence TO that opinion. So long has
freedom of speech been used 10 covet
up the iniquities OF the ranter who
had no love for his country and de
lighted TO deflme II that II comes
strange for us to realize that I'm these
war times the man who speaks
treason is liable to serious penalties
Somo of them are not convinced of
the seriousness of this truth, and may
not be convinced until the police
powers of Uncle Sam administer him
u severe shock.
The advice OF the government was
FOR those who could not bring them
selves TO support the government sin
oerely to behave themselves and keep
n discreet silence. But some OF them
still insist they are beins abused and
DETAINED because they are not per
mitted 10 be as disloygl as they
choose. Mayor Thompson OF Ch,ca-
70 Is one who wants 20 fight the
government and yet sues editors for
libel who tell him plain truths But
the most laughable OF all. laughable
because of It's apparent seriousness,
comes the announcement from the
American Union Against Militarism
that they will resort 10 the law TO
punish any newspaper who alleges
that the society is pro-German or is
supported by German funds. They
have a chip on their shoulder and
dare any editor 10 knock It off Tho
World has not sufficient evidence to
make any such assertion AGAINST the
union, but II 1t had We would not
hesitate q moment in calling a spade

There is one thing sure, If the union
Is not German-fn inspired or German
supported, Its course Is calculated
Just rs much so to give aid and COM
fort to the enemy and to that extent
It is undoubtedly laboring In German
interests, whether purposely or not
But the government is investigatns
and libel laws will not scare the
American press from telling the truth
when the truth is discovered.

In Camp.
| Well, I burned a lot OF letters
And sighed TO beat the jews;
! | wrote some farewell messages
And broke lot OF news: q.
Gave all my duds and summer hats
To those who need them most,
And climbed aboard that railroad
Off to the army post.
The tears that fell the day we lei,
Would irrigate a farm;
My lady friends wept on my shirt,
But brine could do no harm
Some pretty maids were there to kiss,
| browsed among them there,
And none can say OF me that day
never got my share.
And now we walt here for the date
OF trip 10 Europe free.
My mex; address ! rather guess
1s somewhere near Paree.
We leave this land for foreign strand
Ana cross the briny deep
And hope our tub will sink sub
And put some kraut to sleep.
The morning light breaks on our sighs
To sound OF reveille.
And sound OF taps quite oft perhaps
Comes late enough for me.
So tell the boys to quit their noise
And come on into camp,
There's nothing new, farewell to you;
When writing send n stamp.

Canned Tomato Sauce or PURGE.

Since tomatoes contain very high
percentage of water, it often is desir.
able to can only concentrated tomato
products. This is true especially when
cans or jars are difficult to obtain. A
delicious concentrated tomato sauce
may be made and canned as follows,
says the United States department of
agriculture. Small or broken tomatoes
and large tomatoes unsuitable for can
ming whole, may be used in this recipe.
Cut the tomatoes into fairly small
pieces and add one large-sized onion
chopped and one cup of chopped sweet
red pepper to one gallon tomatoes. Cook
until tender. Put through a sieve and
add mixture of l-3 salt and 2-3 sugar
in a proportion of one tesspoonful to
each quart of the mixture. Cook until
the consistency of ketchup, stirring con-
stantly Pack hot into sterilized jars or
bottles. Adjust rubber and cap-place the
containers on false bottom in a vessel
of water sufficiently deep to reach al
most to their tops and allow to remain
at boiling temperature for rs min
utes. Remove jars from the water bath
and tighten the lids Immediately.

Buried in Coal Slide.

Frank Pratt of Burlington, an EN-.
ploye of the Central Vermont railroad
had a narrow escape from death Wednes-
day afternoon when the slide in shute
from which he was shoveling coal into
a waiting engine became loosened, let
ting large quantity of coal shoot down
upon him, covering him completely. For
tnnately his arms were not pinioned
down and he was able to push the coal
away from his head so that he could
breathe until Others of the railroad en-
ployes, summoned by his cries for help,
could shovel him out of his dangerous
position.
The coal which is used for the locomo-
tives is not like the ordinary fuel used
for furnaces. but is usually fine and easy
to break. At times quantities of it are
almost in a powdered condition. There
are, however, some solid pieces among
the other matter and some of these,
striking Pratt, injured him slightly.
He was able TO walk without assist
snee short time after the accident and
Thursday experienced nothing more than
a general soreness from his bruises.
