DESTRUCTION OF FRENCH RESCkVt

According to Berlin War Correspondent, Germans
 May Strike French.

Amsterdam, March 24 Sunday - The military correspondent of the Vcssische Zeitung of Berlin com menting on the German offensive, says:
 Whether the enemy is Siven time to consolidate his rear positions before a fresh blow is struck at the samc spot need not be discussed. Maybe, Von llindenburg will drive the wedge further into the enemy front. but it is just as probable that the next blow will be delivered on another front The heavy artillery battle around Verdun, the fighting in Lorraine at the Chemin des Danes and in the Champagne may all be precursors of fresh blows.
 "Our object is not to win ground or towns but the destruction of the en- emy forces and his means for the con tinuance of the war. From this point of view, General Foch's army reserves Will form our final battle aim''

aganst seemingly impossible odds, the officer who, at risk of his life, saves hls guns from capture, the naval of- flcer who, under orders, braves a mine infested channel, are not eligible for the Medal of Honor, since the acts en- umerated would all be considered as within their duty.
 The "D.S.C." and "D.S.M." however. will enable the government to fitting ly recognize these men without lower Ing the high standard which has been set for the highest decoration.
 Two general officers of the Ameri- can Army, now on duty in France, hold the Medal of Honor Major Leonard Wood won the coveted decoration, while he was in the medical corps of the army in 1886. During the cam paign against the Apaches, General Wood, (then assistant surgeon,) ac- cordlng to the official record "volun- tarily carried dispatches through a re- zion infested with hostile Indians, making a journey of seventy miles in one night and walking thirty miles the next day. Also, for several weeks while in close pursuit of Geronimo S band, and constantly expecting an en- counter, he commanded detachment of infantry which was then without an officer. and to which command he was assigned at his own request"
 Major General Franklin Bell, now also facing the Germans in France, won the medal September 9, 1899, in the Philippines while in command of the Beth Volunteers. The terse of ficial record says:
 'In advance of his regiment, he charged seven insurgents with his pis- tol and compelled the surrender of the captain and two privates, being the while under close fire from the re- maining insurgents concealed in a bamboo thicket."
 The names of the late Generals Frederick Funston and Albert l.. Mills are both in the official list of holders of Medals of Honor, as is that of Mai or General James Parker, recently re- tired
 The active list of the army today shows only siXty-six men holding the Medal of Honor. Nearly two thous- and were issued to soldiers who par ticipated in the Civil War and in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917, the war department issued 9 medals to veterans of that struggle. Adjutant General Mccain recently reported to Congress that 2,631 awards of this decoration had been made up to the

present year.
 Instances of unworthy issuance of the Medal of Honor haua hean rnranrl,

Instances of unworthy issuance of the Medal of Honor have been remark ably few. An army board, headed by General Miles, last summer concluded an exhaustive Investigation to deter mine whether any such awards had been made. The report of the board has never been made public but it is known that it included recommend ation that certain persons not now connected with the army should be re- quested to turn in their medals be- cause the acts for which these had been awarded did not come within the limits required. One retired army Of flcer who was ordered to return his decoration flatly declined to do so and it Is an interesting fact that no move has been made to force it's return.
 In addition to the decorations for exceptional bravery, both the army and navy issue campaign badges to commemorate service in particular campaigns. Each of these are accom- pained by a distinctive ribbon which is usually worn with the fatigue uni- form. Officers and enlisted men who have had twenty years or more of service may be seen with several rows of these vari-colored ribbons stretched across their breasts. The most re- cent addition to the campaign badge are those for Mexican service in the army and for Mexican, Cuban and Haitian service in the navy

|Veted Medal of Honor NOxv iS Iupplemented by War Decorations

Washington, March 24.-Pressure of
 Ec sentiment is believed to have
 much to do with the decision of
 War Department, to supplement
 Congressional Medal of Honor
 gb two new decorations for those
 Tuguishing themselves in the war.
 The new decorations have been des-
 hated "The Distinguished Service
 sess" and "The Distinguished Service
 sdal." Already these titles have be-
 pme abbreviated to "D.S.C." and hSM." In the official order of the
 ar Department announcing their
 sation, they are described as fol- |ss:
 Distinguished Service Cross. A rOnze cross design and a ribbon to be ben in lieu thereof, to be awarded by Ie President, Or in the name of the fesident, by the commanding gener- ] of the American Expeditionary ores in Europe, to any person, who, | nile serving in any capacity in the |my shall hereafter distinguish him Eff, or herself, or who, since April \ 1917, has distinguished himsel for |aself, by extradorinary heroism in knnection with military operations kainst an armed enemy fthe Unit ' States under circumstances which 9not justify the award of the Medal f Honor.

LIBERTY PARADE; IN PINE BLUFF
 0N 67H APPIl
lReginental Bands, Soldiers and Citizens to March
 With Children.

A monster Liberty parade is plan ned for Pine Bluff on Saturday, April 6, the first anniversary of the United States entrance into war and the day on which the Third Liberty loan will be put out. The intention is to make the event great demonstration of patriotism, and of the peoples deter imitation to support to the fullest ex- tent the government and the nations fighting men. It is proposed to have the Rotarians take charge of the pa rade, and the proposal will be submit ted to them at the regular meeting at the Hotel Pines Tuesday.
 Preliminary plans for the parade contemplate that the school children will form the big division, thus exem- plying the ideas of the United States and it's allies in the war for democ- racy and liberty and peace. Because it is the children and their children who will suffer most should the Ger mans conquer, and it is for future generations as much as for the men and women of the present that the al- lied resources are assembled to crush the menace of Prussian kultur-syn- onomous for all that is fiendish, brutal and inhumane.
 One or more regimental bands from the 87th division at Camp Pike will participate in the parade, and it is al- so contemplated to have company or two of soldiers, including number of Pine Bluff boys, march in the procession.
 The event $ to be strictly dem onstration, to be followed by a pa- triotic mass meeting at the tabernacle. No one will be asked for contribution or a subscription at this time.
