From Committee on Public Information)
Washington. Marine corps head
quarters gives the committee on pub
lie Information a graphic account of
the decoration of American marines
with the French Crox de Guerre for
heroic service In battle last May. II
says in part:
within the sound and range of the
German guns, hidden by the shelter
Ing trees of a dense forest, under a
heavy morning mist and driving rain,
French veterans of verdun, the Marine,
the AiSne and the Somme honored
their younger comrades of America by
conferrng upon them the Crolx de
Guerre. Thirty marines. including I'VE
officers, were awarded this coveted
French decoration for gallant conduct,
courage and GOODNESS in action against
the enemy during the occupation of
sector by the marine brigade OF the
total number cited In French orders
for this decoration only eleven were
present three having been killed in ac-
ton and sixteen were wounded and In
the field hospital
"A number OF rench soldiers were
decorated at the same time. As Is the
custom half company from each of
the companies whose men were hon.
ored was present and drawn up so as
to form square. The presentation OF
the decorations took place within this
human enclosure. The marines and
poilus, side by side. presented a pic
ture symbolical Of the close bond ex-
listing between America and France In
this conflict and particularly so Of the
manner in which marines have worked
and fought with the French soldiers
during the period of their instructions
In an adjacent sector.
'The French general who pinned
the decorations on the breasts of the
proud marines eloquently praised their
achievements in short speech in
which he summarized their deeds of
bravery, remarking on the fine state
Of discipline and efficiency Of the bri-
gade, and congratulating its command
ing officer upon his excellent organi-
zation. He then pinned the little
bronze emblems on the men, and shook
each one by the hand with a personal
word Of congratulation."

The priorities division of the war
industries board has decided that hol-
low tile manufacture is In part of ma
t1onal Importance and continued man.
ufacture of tiles throughout the war
period will be safeguarded by giving
the industry a place on the prefer
ence list for fuel and transportation.
Judge Edwin B. Parker, priorities
commissioner, in letter to the hollow
tile manufacturers says: 'The prior
tiles board Is of the opinion that yours
Is In part war industry because your
product Is used In many of the build
Ing operations carried on directly by
the war agencies of the government,
and In the collateral yet indispensa-
and will be prosecuted in communities
where soldiers, sailors and war work
ers are being concentrated.
I'm the opinion of the board your
Industry also Is In part one of national
Importance in that portion of your
product is used In land drainage oper-
ations and in ensilage savings proc
ton per acre and per farmer of foods
and feeds, taking into account the la
Dor expended in applying such prod
ucts to the land"
Hollow tile manufacturers must give
pledge of cooperation with the gov
eminent that they will not use mate
rails except in the manufacture Of
products for essential uses as defined
and applied by the priorities division
of the war Industries board, and that
they will guard against resale of the
product for any except essential uses.
There will be permitted, however
sales of small quantities of tiles for
repairs or extensions to existing struc-
lures involving in the aggregate a cost
not exceeding $4,000.

The committee will visit various
centers where women have been drawn
into industries at work on war CON
tracts. Hazards such as the use Of
industrial poisons will be inquired into
with reference to their effect on the

The war industries board has de-
cided that motor trucks are war es-
sentials and that in civilian industries
they constitute an important trans
portation medium and their produc-
ton should be facilitated and not cur
tailed. But no pledge to see that mo-
tor truck manufacturers got all the
steel they wanted was given by the
priorities division of the board
Judge Parker. priorities commission
er. observed: 1.-THE manufacturers and
dealers fully realize that steel is today
the worlds most needed metal and
that, in view of the urgent war de-
mands of this nation and the allies.
ii is well nigh reasonable to consume
a pound of 1t that can be saved. They
pledged themselves to reverse their
practices Of normal times and, instead
of selling through solicitation as many
trucks as possible and furnishing new
trucks TO replace old ones. to use their
utmost endeavor to induce owners and
operators to repair old ones and use
the trucks they have as long as posi-
BILE, to operate them fully loaded, and
through shifts of drivers and other
wise to keep them In use during the
greatest possible portion of the day"

Uniform standards of physical ex-
aminations governing entrance into all
branches of the regular army, the ma
tional army and the National Guard
have been adopted by the war depart
ment and will be observed by the army
medical department and the local and
medical advisory boards under the Sc
lective service regulations.
Observance of the new rules and
regulations by the local boards will
result, 1t is believed, in uniform ex-
aminations in all parts Of the country
and should prevent men physically dis
qualified for military service from be-
ing sent out to camps, The new stand
ards also will enable local physicians
to make examinations with a better
understanding of the lceds of the
army and will clear any misconcep-
lions and misunderstanding that
might result I'm the sending to camps
of men who had been rejected.
Heretofore the physical standards
Of the three armies have differed and
instances have been noted where men
who have been rejected for service by
the recruiting officers of the regular
army have been accepted for military
service by draft board physicians. I'm
der the new uniform standards this
will not be possible unless the disquali-
flying defect has been removed. The
rule for all three armies Is that to
make a good soldier a man must be
able to see well, have comparatively
good hearing, his heart must be able
to stand the stress of physical exer-
ton, he must be intelligent enough to
understand and execute military ma
neuvers. obey commands, protect him
self, and must be able to transport
himself by walking as the exigencies
of military life may demand.
Exceptions from the new standard
rules are made In the case of men Sc
lected for special and limited service.
The experience of the past year has
enabled the medical authorities to es-
tablish these new standards of exam
nations which will relieve the local
boards of doubt as to decisions In I'M
usual cases. Enough such cases have
been examined to establish a policy In
determining their military fitness. In
structlons are given as to what classes
of men may be accepted for limited
service, and for treatment for remedial
BILE defects.

GALLANT CONFEDERATE OFF,
GER DEAD IN LEXINGTON

LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 3.-Full of
years and honor, Colonel Richard G.
Morgan, prominent citizen, gallant
Confederate soldier and last remain
ing brother of General John Hunt
Morgan, noted Confederate cavalry
leader, as we'll as last surviving men,
Der of that chivalrous chieftain's staff,
passed peacefully away at his home,
408 West Third street, in Lexington,
Saturday night at $50 o'clock in his
eighty-second year.
Death was due to uremic poisoning
and was not unexpected by his ply
sician, members of his family and
friends, who realized several days
ago that the end was near.
Just two weeks ago, on Sept. 13,
Colonel Morgan celebrated his eighty
second birthday, and although in
frail health, he was able to see a few
of his friends and neighbors, who
called at his home to offer felicita-
tions.
After his strength seemed grad
ually to fail, and several days before
the final summons came he lapsed into
semi-conscious condition and passed
into that dreamless sleep that knows
no waking.
Colonel Morgan is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Alice B. Morgan, and
several nephews and nieces.
He was one of five brothers who
were prominent in the community in
their day and who helped to make his
tory. They were General John Hunt
Morgan, Calvin Morgan, Charlton
Morgan, Alexander Morgan and the
deceased, who was the last Of the
famous family.

TITION SET FOR AUGUST Il.

Americus people are interested in
the application of the Central of Geor-
gia railroad to discontinue the pres
ent parlor car service between Macon
and Albany The application is to be
heard before the Railroad Commis-
sion at its offices in the capitol at At
lanta, at ten o'clock, and in all prob
ability will be granted, inasmuch as
the war department recently request
ed the railroads to discontinue,
wherever possible, such service
The volume of travel between
Americus and Atlanta, on the trains
affected by tie application, is very
large, especially at this season. an
to take off the parlor cars now used
would work a hardship upon the pub
iiC SSLl6l dIlN ne equipment VI tAiC
trains, it is admitted, is rather heavy,
but the parlor cars now enjoy an eX-
cellent patronage, and there are many
here who are puzzled over the g
tude of the government in advocatinr
the dicontinuance of a service that
must be an excellent revenue pro-
ducer for the government With any
discontinuance of parlor car service
there must be a corresponding in
crease in the number of day coaches
carried and inasmuch as there is nc
extra charge for seats in these cars
it is a matter of speculation as tc
why the parlor cars are to be Ia ken
off.
