Not Lost the Limb. In Some Cases,
Indeed, He Actually Performs
Them Better.
N MRS. LYDIG HOYT is one Of the most
M popular and energetic young
@NA women of New York's fashionable
society. As Miss Julia Robbins she was
not only known for her beauty, but en-
joyed the reputation of being a young
woman of ideas and ideals.
Mrs. Hoyt has been one of the most
active women in New York in all matters
pertaining to social welfare, as well as to
he support of the war. She has helped
with Liberty Loan, military and Red Cross
matters, and she is now engaged in daily
work for the benefit of the American Red
Cross.
She has sought the material side
- the task rather than the sentimental,
znd she is to be found studying and work
ing for actual accomplishment as opposed
to merely educational results. At the out
set of the movement to reclaim wounded
and injured soldiers she recognized it as
one of the most vital of our duties and
went Systematically to work to study the
practical side of the question with the pur-
pose of making her work bring an actual
benefit. Her intelligent study of this ques-
tion permits her to speak with more au-
thority as to its Importance than could be
expected from a mere theorist
Mrs. Lydig Hoyt's name has of course
hitherto been synonymous with wealth,
fashion and gayety. Her husband belongs
to one of the oldest of Knickerbocker
families and she herself belongs to one of
equal prominence. She and the women
of her set have been throwing themselves
into labors for the relief of wounded
soldiers and the comfort of others. with
splendid enthusiasm and practical en-
ergy, which demonstrate the fine human
qualities possessed by those who in ordin-
ary times devote themselves to the lighter
side of life.

OPPORTUNITY IS RIGHT HERE

Distance always lends enchantment
 Russell Conwell, in his great lec- ture, Acres of Diamonds" tells the story of the prince of India who wan dered over the world looking for dia- monds. and when he dissipated his fortune in his quest he returned, broken in spirit, to his old home and found that rich diamond fields had been discovered in his absence on his former holdings.
 The far-away is the land of riches and of opportunity.
 Early settlers came to the New World to search for such things as rubies as large as robins eggs and fountains of youth.
 Jason's attempt to get the golden fleece, recited in Greek mythology, expresses the same hope of large
 Herodotus wrote for the Greeks an account of place in India where ants almost as large as dogs burrowed into the ground and brought up for the people huge nuggets of gold.
 But the gold in far places is seldom found. Searchers generally make their trips in vain.
 Opportunities are right at our feet, if we will see them. They can be created if they do not already exist.
 Invest your money where you are living; draw more population to the city and you will build right here those conditions that you often believe ob- tain in places at the end of the rain bow

GERMANY'S LAST TRUMP

Indications are that Verdun is to be repeated on the western front. The Germans have their threatened offen- sive under way, and normally it can be expected that for weeks a fierce struggle will be waged on the Cam brai sector.
 The Germans will gain no lines per manently from the allies.
 They will lose several hundred thou sand in killed if they will fight long enough. Their losses will far exceed those of the allies.
 Defeat in a second Verdun will dis hearten the Germans at home and re- duce the morale of the population to a minimum.
 After the battle is ended the Huns will be further inferior to the allies and will be in poorer position to with stand an allied drive.
 Those are things to be remembered in reading the story of the conflict from day to day, gloomy though they may be.
 The German drive is the last trump card of the Hun. The allies will take the trick and perhaps thereby win the game.

PERSHING DEcoRATEs FOR
 BRAVERY

General Pershing has already awarded the first distinguished crosses and medals which have been author lZed by act of congress. The govern ment has wisely left the grant of these distinctions to Pershing, who will receive reports from officers un- der him. Both officers, soldiers and sailors are eligible to receive the two gallantry and special services in ac- tion.
 The United States in the past has been very slow to grant medals toI brave soldiers and sailors, and up toI the present less than 800 men haveI been decorated with the congressional medal of honor, sometimes called the Medal of Valor. This was the OnlyI decoration authorized fin this country up until the present war. It was in stituted in 1862.
 Despite the fact tIat few received the congressional medal, there has been considerable scandal attached to awarding it in the past. When Gen. Miles was commanding the army con- gress went into the records of the holders of this most distinguished of war medals and discovered that sev- 'eral men were wearing them with no real right to do so. They were asked ito return their decorations, and all of them except one readily did so Politics was responsible for these hay ing obtained the medal without any meritorious act to recommend them
 In the civil war congress at one time voted to award the medal to more than 800 members of a Maine regiment Their sole recommendation was that 300 of their number had agreed to remain in the Union army after their term of enlistment had eX- pired The case attracted so much unfavorable comment and criticism that the action was rescinded.
 Among the less than 800 who wore the Medal of Valor was Dr. Mary Walker, the eccentric suffragist, who won the medal for her services as a surgeon during the civil war. She was the only woman who was ever awarded the distinction.
 A great deal of discretion has been given to General Pershing in award ing the distinguished service medals and crosses, as well as the Medal of Honor, during the present war. The last-named medal will be given out rarely; the other two will be pre- sented to all who deserve them as far as possible. Pershing must depend on his officers and trust that they will not show favoritism. At least it can be expected that favoritism will be much rarer than political prefer, ence under the old system of congress sional awards with the scandals that system brought about.
