Medals for Soldiers

The war department has ordered new decora-
tons and insignia for American soldiers. In or
der of their value, they are Distinguish Serv-
ice Cross. Distinguish Service Medal, War
Service Chevrons and Wound Chevrons.
The ID. S. c." will be awarded by the presi-
dent or by the commander in chief of the Aneri-
can expeditionary forces for extraordinary hero
ism in connection with military operations
against an armed enemy of the United States eun-
der circumstances which do not justify the award
of the medal of honor
From time immemorial soldiers have been
proud Of decorations received for extraordinary
valor or service The intrinsic value of the dec
Grafton makes no appeal to martial ardor, but the
significance of the medal and the difficulty of OBJ
tanning it arouse desire for the distinction
The decoration sets apart the wearer from his
fellow soldiers. 1t proves that he has shown
himself a master soldier in a crisis or in an oc-
curence that involved more than the usual dan
ger incurred by his associates.
Experience has shown that fellow soldiers are
not peeved when one of their number receives
the decoration but feel proud that they may be
numbered as one of his friends and associates.
So the granting of the medal is an amenity that
increases the efficiency of the fighting machine
and serves to accelerate the valor Of the soldier
Service stripes and medals are trophies
which veterans cherish highly. They are points
of association that recall days of youth and fight
ing strength.
The war department acted wisely in ordering
medals that pertain particularly to the present
struggle.

Editor Palladium:
Referring to "a Readers" severe ar
raignment of mischievous children,
permit the writer to congratulate
your very just defense of childish
pranks, however they may annoy US
nervous grownups who oncelwere So
unfortunate as to be romping, roll
licking children. Personally l have
learned to accurately judge of a
child's home history and environ
ments, wholly by its conduct. My
child study has led to at least two
firm convictions namely. the child,
even long before its birth, is more
readily and perfectly trained than any
other animal. That divine truth SO
tersely expressed by Scripture
Train up a child in the way he
should go, and even when he is old
he will not depart from it," is verified
today by the sciences of Eugenics
and Psychology. For conversely,
train up child in the way he should
not go, and even when he is old and
should and wants to have more sense,
he can not depart from his training
Secondly, children are in no wise re-
duct, for exactly like grown people
sponsible for their character and con-
they must and will have amusement
and recreation. The child neither
knows or cares for the law; if one
who like Topsy never was born, but
Just growed up" becomes a fair or
even good citizens, it is mainly be-
cause Of the laws strong arm.
Therefore, don't blame the child. It
has absolutely no control of it's
heredity, birth aud training; lay the

Vacant Lot Famine

The vacant lot famine is good Indication that
home gardens will be found all over Richmond
this year. Gardeners want lots
Lot owners who have not given friends per-

A lot running riot with weeds this year will
be reproach to the owner. Gardeners have ap-
peaed for the ground. The demand is here. Va
cant lot owners must offer their premises.

MAYOR FEELS SLIGKTED
 BY POLISH CITIZENS
Claims He Was Not Invited To Reception T'o
 PadereWski.

Mayor George A. Quigley remarked he considers a slight on the part of the Polish people of this city in not inviting him to the mass meeting given in honor of Ignace PaderewsIIi on Monday. This feeling is strength ened, he states, by the fact that not
 only did he not receive an invitation to the meeting, while other prominent
 men about the city did, but also an
 invitation to the honorary banquet
 was not received at his office until
 S:3O a. m. Tuesday, the day follow
 ing the banquet. The invitation,
 signed by Rev. Lucyan. Bobowsl<i,
 was postmarked in this city at 12:3O
 D. m. Saturday.
 The mayor states that as far back
 as August 6 he communicated with
 Father BojnoWski and his office re ; lative to the coming visit of the cele-
 brated pianist and offered to CO
 operate in any way he could. Also, before leaving on his vacation about 10 days ago, the mayor says he ad-
 vised Acting Mayor H. P. Richards to
 cooperate in every way and to inform him if an invitation was received. He likewise consulted with Col w. W. Rul1en of the City Guard and ask cd him to assist with a. military escort for the Polish people should they dc eide to have a parade and want a military escort.
 Father Bojnowski stated this morn ing that about August g an invita- ton was extended to Mayor Quigley to be present at the exercises in the parish hall Father BojnoWslli said the letter was the first distated to his stenogra pher He had no knowl- edge of whether it was delivered. Father Boinowski said that Alder man Richards, acting mayor called l at the rectory to secure information l concerning the plans for the observ- ance of Paderews1i day. In the ab- sence of Father Bojnowski the secre- l tary could not inform him.
 1 It was not until Friday in Detroit 1 Mich, that MT. PadereWski consented 1 to the plans for the banquet. Inn
 mediately upon arrival home Father ] Boinowski issued invitations to a limited number among them Mayor l Quigley and Alderman Richards to l be present Because there was no
 delivery of mail on Sunday or Labor 1 day many failed to receive the invita- l tiOnS in time to be present

Americans and French Advance.

With the American Army on the Vesle, Sept. 1. (By the Associated Press. .)-Americans, with the French moving with them on their left, have advanced from the Vesle to the edge of the plateau aOng a line from 3re- nelle, VauNcere, Blanzy and BaslieuX. The Germans nearest this line along which they might make a rear guard defense of any consequence are oppO- site the edge of the plateau paralleling the Aisne, over which it is obvious they have removed their stores and heavy artillery.
 The advance of the Americans in force began at 1 o'clock this morning and patrols, one after another have been going over all day and meeting sharp resistance at some points.
 Substantial progress has been made by the Americans.
 Orders reached the American com manders before daylight to send out patrols to investigate and their reports caused the immediate dispatch of supporting patrols. Before nightfali q large part of the army which had been camping along the VesIe was in action on the slopes porth of the river. And there was action, not "AtIoldllulllS LIlctL lIlS NICI Ildllo dl- ready had taken the initiative in their withdrawal.
 Near BazOChes and F'ismette the Americans were advancing along the highway north of the river while a little to the east they were south of the river.
 Smoke arising from behind the Ger man lines has been observed for tine past few days. In some instances the cause is known to have resulted from explosions of ammunition dumps fired by a direct hit from an Allied battery but the increasing number of smoke columns has given rise to the sugges- tion that the Germans are burning such of their depot structures and supplies as it is inadvisabe to re- move.
 Patrols sent out early in the day re- ported that the German retreat was under way.
