The low, crescent-shaped coast, Of

here and there by cliffs rising sheer

the distance the shadowy peaks Of
South Persian mountains. The water

may be conferred upon women in the
service of the army.
To date, no measures have been ta-
ken to make similar provision for the
navy, but this will undoubtedly fol-
low. AS II is. the only war medal
open to the American sailor or naval
officer is the Congressional Medal Of
Honor. This places the marines in
a strangely anomalous position with
respect to honors. While at sea, the
marines are under the navy and are
subject to the rules regarding war
medals obtaining In the navy. But
the marines now In France are under
the army and are technically entitled
to receive any of the new army deco
rations.
There can be no doubt that the
institution of new medals by Presi-
dent Wilson will have beneficial ef-
feet upon the morale of the Ameri-
can troops in France. Acts of hero
ism-of which we have already had
more than one instance-deserve rec
ignition, and from the military stand
point such recognition serves better
than anything else as stimulus and
incentive to all the troops. News of
the presidents action is said to have
been received with the greatest en-
thusiasm by our men now serving in
France.
For Extraordinary Herosm.
The Distinguished Service Cross is
to be bronze cross with ribbon. 1t
will be awarded by the president, or
by General Pershing to any person
who. while serving in any capacity
with the army. shall hereafter dis
tinguish himself or herself, or who,
since April G., 1917. has distinguished
himself or herself, by extraordinary
heroism in connection with military
operations against an armed enemy
OF the United States or under circum-
stances which do not justify the award
of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
The Distinguished Service Medal
will also be of bronze with ribbon,
and will be awarded by the president
to any person who. while serving In
any capacity in the army. shall here
after distinguish himself or herself or
who, since April 8 last, has distln-
gulshed himself o. herself, by excep-
tionally mCrltoriouS service to the gov
eminent in duty of great RESPONSE
bility in time of war in connection
with military operations against an
armed enemy of the United States.
Thus 1t will he seen that TO win the
D. S. c. 1t will be almost necessary
for man TO see service In Franco.
while the Distinguished Service Medal
may be won by man whose duties
in the army are confined to this side
OF the water.

: HOW NATURE HAS SET
: INV SPOT ASIDE FOR
: WORLDS NUTMEG GARDEN.
If we had to go for our food
to the places where it grows,
instead of having it brought to
our homes, only the persons
who liked simple things to eat
would have much time for bust
ness. Especially would people
who liked highly spiced food
! have to be journeying most of
their lives. They could find nut.
: megs In the West Indies and in
South America. but If they
wanted to find the spice In its
greatest abundance their quest
for 1t would be a long one In
+ deed. And they could not make
the whole journey in palatial
steamships, for the nutmeg -four
ishes chiefly in the little Banda
islands, tiny specks of land
among the thousands of islands
! that make up the East Indies.
There are only three islands
in the group that are really big
enough to be called islands, and
these three have total land
I area of but is square miles.
They are between the huge
islands of Celebes and New
Guinea, about half way between
the Philippines. which are far
! to the north, and Australia,
which lies far to the south.
/ Here is the worlds nutmeg
garden, where every inch of
land is almost as closely cult
waited as are the vineyards along
the Rhine. From these SEEM
ingly Insignificant bits of land
are exported annually about
! 100000 pounds of nutmegs and
$4,000 pounds of mace.

GERS and enlisted men who receive or
have received wound In action with

Red Tape Is Cut.
In the rules governing the manner
and method of awarding these medals,
as well as the Medal of Honor, red
tape is conspicuously absent. Time
was when 1t was a matter of months,
If not years, before a candidate for
the highest military or naval honor
within the power of the United States
to bestow received his coveted prize

ing. "In the present emergency"
reads the general order, whenever q

tionary forces In Europe, he is aus
thorlzed to cable his recommendation
for immediate action, and to hold the
papers until a reply is received Up

mendation, General Pershing, or some
officer whom he may delegate, Is au-
thorized to go ahead and award the
media. as the representative OF the
president.
1t is even provided that in extreme
cases. where the candidate for the
honor Is severely wounded and in dan
ger of death, the commanding general
may take matters into his own hands
and confer the medal without waiting
for the presidential o. x. The new
system, In short. preserves the form

EFFORT TO FORCE
OVERNAN MEASURE
Administration Forces Gather
Strength fOr Final Test
Saturday

Washington, April 12.-An effort viii
be made to force the Overman empower
ing bill through the senate today OF
Saturday. 1t will meet angry opposition
and may fail.
Immediate need for granting the pre-
sident powers Of reorganization SO that
America may get ready more quickly
to put forth the nine tenths of her pow
err which Lloyd-George said this nation
is not yet ready to exert, is the argu-
ment being used in an effort to shut
off debate and prevent amendment Of
the bill.
Administration forces have gained
some strength in the past week with
regard to passing the bill without much
amendment. Upon one point-the ex-
cepting of the interstate commerce COM
mission, the farm loan board and the
federal reserve board from the bill-the
OPT Osition is adamant and probably will
be successful.
In the house today an effort began
to amend the war insurance bill to limit
the compensation of lawyers who aid in
in collecting insurance from the gov
eminent.
?he increasing casualty lists, house
members learned, have provided a rich
field for profiteering lawyers. Under a
section of the law intended to protect
attorneys for legitimate interests in dis
puted cases, they can collect as a fee up
to 10 per cent of the amount of insur-
ance paid by the government to the
relatives of a soldier or sailor.
The proposed amendment would cut
the fee to So for each case, where a
LAWYER simply aids in collection. In case
of serious disagreement between the
beneficiary and the government if the
matter goes to court, the court is to fix
attorney fees.

According to the best figures OBJ
tanned at the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Co.'S office, the housekeeper
who gets up after daylight will save
about one hours light. But the trou-
Bile here comes in the fact that the
saving will be on the end Of the rate
where it costs the least.
That is, the cost for the first ID
kilowatt hours is 81. For the next sew
en- kil0watt hours, sever cents an hour
and for the following so kilowatt
hours, three cents an hour. What the
housekeeper saves will of course come
under the last amount used, at three
cents per kilowatt hour. Hence there
will be no radical saving in the months
bill and if there is a tendency to be
less economical, the bill for May L
will show but little difference from
that of one year ago.
Business houses with the flat rate
for signs, will of course just pay as
usual. Stores whose lighting for the
interior is on a meter rate will find
some reduction in the monthly bill and
then there is the saving of n hour Of
light Saturday evening.
But taking into consideration that
the kilowatts saved will be at the rate
of three cents an hour, there will be
no radical difference in the light bill
while the day light law is in effect,
which is up to the last Sunday in De-
tohpr.
