CROSS. CHAPLAIN'S BADGE.
TO BE DROPPED BY ARMY

Washington, July S.-To obvi-
ate any controversy that might arise
by reason OF Jewish chaplains object
ing to wearing the cross as insignia.
the war department has decided to
adopt the shepherds crook az the reg

used until 1925 by chaplains in the
army. but at that time the cross was
determined to be the most symbolic
decoration OF the army's clergy.
The decision OF the war department.
followed a request from represe nta-
tives Of the Jewish faith, who declar-
ed that the shepherds crook would
still raise probable objections by
mem bers OF that faith in the ser
vice.
