,LEGI0N OE HONOR
TsDPPOSIT|ON
Matter of Honors For Men 1
Service Of Nation Is Still
Much Unsettled

WASHINGTON, January 22--(Asso-
ciated Press)--DisapprOval OF the pro-
pOsal for the formation OF an Amer
IcaR "Legion OF Honor" is expressed
by the administration from several
sources. Instead of this Secretary
Baker, has proposed the bestowal, Of
" Distinguished Service Crosses :"
Legislation which will permit Amer.
leans who, while in the service of any
Of the Allies, have had bestowed upon
them honors by such countries, to wear
the honors which they have won is be.
ing favorably considered.
This question first arose when mem
bers Of the Lafayette Escadrille pur-
posed 10 enter the service of the United
States when this country entered the
war and needed the services of its sons
who were serving under other flags.
Many of these had won honors through
signal service and distinguished brav-
cry which they desired to continue to
wear. This the laws of the United
States precluded.
Again the question arose when the
governments of Great Britain and
France expressed the desire to confer
honors for distinguished service upon
sailors of the navy of the United
States. These offers had to be declined
1t was then legislation to permit the
wearing of honors was proposed. This
has met with some opposition from ad
ministration circles. The proposal foI
an American Legion Of Honor" and
for the bestowal Of medals or crosses
for distinguished services are offered as
substitutes for the legislation to per
NIT the acceptance and the wearing OF
foreign hOnors.

Two of the chief purposes sought

People in their homes in the
Eastern cities are receiving coal
for heating purposes and bunker
coal is again moving to the At

The third aim, the clearing Of

SENDS HOME PURSE
 OF HUN PRISONER (From Wednc sday's Daily.)

Robert Smith of the Owl Drug Store, this week received a unique souvenir of the battlfelds in France. the memento coming in the shape of T small coin purse which was taken from a captured boche by Rober, Finn, son of Dr. J. w. Finn of this city. The letter that accompanied the purse stated that the donor had personally taken the trinket from the German prisoner. In the purse were several German coins, copy of a soldiers prayer written in German and some German paper money.
 An interesting fact was revealed from an examination of the coins contained in the purse. Two of the smaller coins, which bore dates pre- ceding the outbreak of the war. were of silver and nickle. Other coins of the same denomination and dated since 1914 were made of the plainest sort of iron, evidently indicating that since the war has been in progress tEc Germans have been facing shortage of metal and have ceased to use silver, nickel and copper in their coinage and substituted iron.
