"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
comforting upon them the Croix de
Guerre. Thirty marines, including five
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 French soldiers were
decorated at the same time. As is the
custom half a company from each Of
the companies whose men were hon
ored was present and drawn up so as
TO form a 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 eI-
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 a 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

NO WINTER COAL FAMINE.
Federal Control of Railroads Saves
Country This Ordeal.

WashingtOn.-The railroads under
federal control have saved the counv-
try from the threat of a coal famine
Last year the roads broke down under
pressure of war conditions, but the
railroad administration this year has
kept steadily at work on the situation,
with the result that 1t can be an
nounced that the fuel situation is very
promising.
New England is the only section
that is giving concern to the fuel and
railroad administrations. Now that
the Cape Cod canal has been taken
over, it is believed constant improve
ment will he shown and that an ade-
quate supply will be provided.

bronze emblems on the men, and shook
each one by the hand with personal
word of congratulation."

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 needs of the
army and will clear any misconcep-
tionS and misunderstanding that
might result in 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. Un-
der the new uniform standards this
will not be possible unless the disquall-
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-
tabllsh 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
structions are given as to what classes
Of men may be accepted for limited
service, and for treatment for remedial
bic defects.

The army is in need Of chaplains
! says the war department. A chaplain
Is needed for every 1000 officers and
men. A special kind of chaplain is de-
: ad-a sturdy, outstanding brotherly
man, between twenty-one and forty
five years, who has deep solicitude for
the welfare of the soldiers.
There is a special school for army
chaplains at Camp Zachary Taylor,
near Louisville, Ky. About 200 chap
lains come from this school to take up
their work with the army after a
course lasting five weeks, and the
courses go on continuously. Approx
mately one-fifth of the clergymen who
start the course fail to complete 1t or
to qualify for the army.
Candidates for admission to the
school must have the endorsement of
their denomination superiors and or
ganiZed religious bureaus and boards
recognized by the government authori-
ties, and must pass the physical tests
Of the local army draft board At
the school the student receives free
subsistence, lodging and uniform and
S33 a month, which is the pay of first
class private. After completing the
course successfully the government re-
turns the student to his home. and
when he is appointed to the army he
takes the rank and pay Of first lieu
tenant of the national army, $1,000 a
year at home and $1,000 year abroad.
The training of a chaplain is practi-
cal and intensive. His days In school
are busy ones. He rises like any COM
mon soldier at 5 AZ a. m, has fifteen
minutes of setting up drill and is re-
quired to circle around the parade
ground at double time before break
fast. He must police his quarters like
any other soldier, undergo an infan-
try drill without arms of As minutes,
and then attend lectures and recita-
tions. The latter cover military and
international law, service customs,
and field service regulations pertain
ing to a chaplain's duties. The school
surgeon instructs him in sanitation
and first aid, and experienced chap
lains give clinics on actual work with
the army. He is given instructions
also In horsemanship, because in field
service he will be a mounted officer.

Farmers Advised to Hold Cotton for
Higher Prices.

Commenting on the cotton situation
last night, w. F. Taylor, president OF
the Shreveport Cotton Exchange, said:
Cotton today is being quoted at a
price below the cost of production, and
the planters should not be expected to
sell at loss. Under the present con-
ditions in the South, cotton cannot be
successfully produced at the prevailing
quotation.
There is nothing in the present situa-
ton to warrant the low prices, and if
the planters will stand pat and refuse
to sell at the reduced levels they will
surely be rewarded for their persisten-
cy, because the world needs more cot
ton than is now in existence, and as
soon as peace is declared and the nigh
seas are opened to traffic between ma
lions there will be clamor for Ameri-
can cotton such as never was witness
ed before, and pricee will naturally ana
inevitably 60 to much higher levels
than have yet prevailed.
Peace talk usually strengthens the
market, and the only explanation that
can be made of the present situation is
the one contained in the statement OF
the Washington cotton men.
1T is well known that all of Europe
is without raw material and factories
will not be able to run over there until
the raw material can be secured. so the
peace talk should be stimulant to the
market instead of deterrent.
''By ali means, the planters should
STAND together solidiy and refuse to
part with pound OF their cotton at
the abnormally low prices brought
about by the Vaccinations OF the specu-
lators on the bear side of the market. I"
