The Order OF the Purple Heart.

In his interesting article on THE
Reward of Valor" in MunseY's Mdgd-
zine for July MajorGeneral WILLIAM
HARDING CARTER records an incident
In American military history which
Is probably not known to those who
have not been careful students Of the
decorations that have been bestowed
on our fighting men for conspicuous
service. OF GEORGE WAsHINGToN's III
tereSt in the establishment of q spe-
cial reward for the more deserving
soldiers in his command, General
CARTER writes:
Very early In his career WASHING
TON recognized the value OF distinctive
badges. not only for specially heroic
deeds. but also for long and faithful
services. While the army was en-
camped about Newburgh. he established
the order Of military merit known as the
Purple Heart. which antedates the French
Legion OF Honor Gso2), the Iron Cross
Of Germany Gsl3), tho Victoria Cross
Of England (lS5s). and all other orders
founded to reward officers and men for
distinguished bravery In battle. except
the Russian order of st. George, which
was instituted by the Empress CATH
ERNIE H. in 1863"
The first award Of the Purple Heart
was made on recommendation of n
board of officers, Sergeant ELIJAH
CHURCHILL being the distinguished
recipient. The honor was conferred
on him in this form:
NOW. therefore. know ye that the
aforesaid Sergeant ELIJAH CHURCHILL
hath fully and truly deserved and hath
been properly invested with the honorary
badge Of military merit. and Is author
lied and entitled TO pass and repass ali
guards and military posts as fully and
amply as any commissioned officer what
ever. and is hereby further recommended
to that favorable notice which a brave
and faithful soldier deserves from his
countrymen.
"Given under my hand and seal at
the headquarters of the American Army
this first day of May. 1888.
by his Excellency,
COMMANDER IN CHIEF.
"JoNA. TRUMBuLL, Jr., Secretary"
The subsequent history of this dec
Grafton is similar to that of numerous
other excellent institutions which
have risen, fiourished and fallen into
neglect. General CARTER says:
The award of the Purple Heart was
never formally discontinued. but simply
fell into allegiance during the period fol-
lowing the Revolution, when the army
was reduced to a corporals guard, and
opportunities to win distinction in battle
no longer existed. 1t was WASHINGTON
who provided in orders that chevrons
should be worn upon the sleeves OF the
uniform In recognition OF long and faith
full service, and the custom has con-
t!nued in force In the army ever since as
oh Ni'Dt' " esprit NC NOTpS'
1t is unfortunate that so admirable
badge should not have continued in
| use In the army. Its association with
the person of General WASHINGTON
would have given to it sentimental
and patriotic value that would have
increased with the years. Had it
Army would possess Il visible link
with the heroic forces that fought
under WASHINGTON for freedom. The
men who are Offering their lives for

in their ranks possessors Of IN honor

stand beside them might have won In
America in the days Of LAFAYETTE.

A succinct Essay on the Value Of
Calves.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir: When
We feed feeds to young animals We get
gains.
Calves gains are greatest at tho age
OF from one day to forty days. Six or
eight quarts OF milk every day make
gains OF veal and hide.
Two or three pounds day is the aver
ago gain. The price of veal Is now
80 to 40 cents. This gives the cow man
an ample income. Ten cents a quart
for milk Is a good price. and the calf
does his own milking.
Soft veal is not good food.
Day old hides make poor leather.

58 JEWISH WORKERS
 GOING "0vER THERE"
Col. Barker Bids Godspeed to the Graduates of Train
 ing School.

The whole-souled cooperation be- tween the seven great organizations working for the happiness and welfare of our soldiers and sailors was re- gently illustrated at the graduation exercises of the tenth class of the Jewish Welfare Boards Training School in New York. Col. William $. Barker who went to France represent ing the Salvation Army with the first contingent of our troops and has been lover there" fifteen months was the principal speaker and wished the fifty eight Jewish workers of the class God speed, while Louis Marshall, the promi- nent Jewish attorney and philanthro- pist of New York, lauded the work of the Salvation Army among the boys at the front.
 What our fighting boys need is in- spiration and heart and character in those who are there to help them" declared Col. Barker You will rep resent in the camps and overseas the ideals and standards of the Jewish faith, and 1t is up to you above all things to be consistent in your re- ligious practices. Practice what you preach That, I am sure, has been the secret of our own success. If you live up to the principles of your faith and give what you have to give from a heart big with love, the boys will re- spect you, whether they be Protestant, Catholic or Jew"
 The newly graduated field workers will make a total of 260 men doing field work in our camps and naval training stations under the auspices of the Jewish Welfare Board. The Board has about fifty nuts in the various camps and maintains centers in all large cities where soldiers and sailors of all faiths are welcomed. A headquarters has recently been estab- lished in Paris, and 100 men are being recruited here for overseas work. There are now nearly 125,0 Jews serving in the army and navy.

By Ralph Block

If every one in the world were a mys
tic, life would be a tremendously COM
Portable affair 1t is true there might
not be so many material comforts, but
there would be more than enough opti-
mism and faith in the general goodness
of things to make up for it. There
would be fewer bathrooms, for instance.
because everybody would agree that
cleanliness is thing of the soul rather
than of the body A mystic is not
so much a person who doesn't believe
in the evidence of his senses as a per-
son who doesn't believe that the evil
dence of his senses is conclusive. All
appearances for him are more than
they seem. He is convinced there are
souls hiding bashfully behind every
fact, waiting to be found. You can do
a lot of things with and-seek
philosophy of that kind and get away
with it. The facts in any given case
are always the least Of your troubles
/ They really don't count.
1t happens, however, in a world that
has been running a good many CEN
turies that some facts have so well
established themselves that it's almost
| impossible to get around and behind
them. In "The Bluebird" Maeterlinck
didn't have any trouble at all being
mystical about the hunt for happiness
1t is such general conception, Happi-
ness, that almost anything can be said
about it and find acceptance Happi-
ness will be found where it is least
expected; hunt happiness and you will
find 1t where you began your journey;
happiness lives within you-a hundred
! thousand good axioms can be tossed
oft about happiness at a moments no
tice and all of them be good And
these general assertions are all the
kind that lend themselves well to
symbolism, which thrives on general
assertions. In fact, symbolism actually
is nothing more than turning general
assertion into particular thing. SO
mysticism and symbolism go hand in
hand.
In "The Betrothal," which Winthrop
Ames is presenting at the Shubert
Theatre, the mysticism doesn't have
such easy sailing. Nobody really and
truly knows anything definite about
happiness, so anything can be said
about it, 1t is equally true that very
few people know anything about mar
riage, but lot of people have expe-
rienced it and have definite ideas about
1T, based on their experience Mar
riage is an institution for the perpet-
uation of the state; marriage is fight
without rules between the sexes; mar
riage is gamble between the inher-
tied instincts of two human beings and
their environments. These are all
axloms based on a certain amount OF
definite experience.

Optimistic on Ancient
Problem in The BetrothaP

Macterlinck does his best to give all
these deductions deathblow. In
marriage, declares the mystical plav-
wright, there is one true way which
you must believe lies behind all the
facts. To have a perfect union
sweet, amiable co-partnership. all YOU
have to do is to find out what that
true way is. It's there waiting for
you; it is your own fault if you miss
it. Go and consult your ancestors and
don't forget what might be the proud
ambitions of your stilI-to-be-be -begotten
descendants
1t is very pretty and very comfort.
ing. Believing sweetly in the ultimate
good Of things is always comforting
All swains should see the play. 1t will
encourage them greatly. 1t may be
hoped, however, that not every one will
believe it. If it turns out that there
isn't really any war of the sexes what
will become Of the drama?
Il is clear, therefore, that to have
good time at "The Betrothar'-
which you will not fail to do in view
of the children and the very fine imagi-
native landscapes OF the soul--you have
to forget the kind of world you live in.
Outside of the theatre, it is little
hard being a mystic. The facts have
habit Of getting in the way.

Camp Merritt Show
Is Proud of Its
Beauty Chorus

A score Of pretty maidens we're
needed, but where in Camp Merritt
were they to be found? Detachment
after detachment was secured, but alas!
nary a gal was Forthcoming for Camp
Merritt's big soldier show Good Luck,
Sam!" which will open at the Lexing-
ton Theatre tomorrow. Whereupon
Coach Frank Lea Short went through
the camp on girl quest, and his report
was that among the varied assortments
of husky soldiers in camp there were
plenty of even-featured lads who could
be transformed into maidens fair Re-
suit: Good Luck, SAM" has so stun
ming a girl chorus that unless some
one tips you off it is not at all unlikely
that on meeting them you will frame a
half-dozen or more mental marriage
proposals.
Oh, yes! yes! there is something
further that you must know about that
girl chorus. At first the soldier boys
baked when it was proposed that they
take off their khaki duds for the fluffy
silks and laces of the chorus girl But
when they saw what fun it was to skip
around like Polly of the Follies, there
were more requests for places in the
girl chorus than there are headaches
in the Kaiser's family. And the poor
coach had to devote a good portion of
his day to keeping the chorus down to
working size Time and again soldier
boy asplrants for chorus lady honors
would sneak into the chorus, and once
they put their dainty bloomers on and
discovered how much more fun it was
to do pirouettes than to do guard duty
it required the combined efforts of g
few dozen sergeants and score of
lieutenants to yank them out again
One of those who had to be told that
he was not chorus-girl material was 8
toothless fireman.
Outside of military band, a jazz
band and an orchestra, "Good Luck
Sam!" carries no musicians with it.
BY the way, have you ever witnessed
court martial proceedings? No? Well
in the third act of Good Luck, Sam!'
