AMERICAN MEDAL OF HONOR
is RAREsT OF DECORATIONS

Navel and militarymen of America
claim that their Medal of Honor,
equivalent to Britain's Victoria Cross
is the hardest to gain, the most rare
ly awarded and, therefore, the most
precious and least known of all such
decorations throughout the world
When a man is entitled to wear an in
conspicuous bronze star pendant from
a blue ribbon on which are thirteen
white stars, it is certain that he has
performed a deed of almost superhu-
man fearlessness.
The M edal of Honor is five point
ed star with a medallion in the cen
ter bearing the head of Minerva and
around it United States of America
in relief. On each ray of the star is
an oak leaf, and the points them
selves are trefoil shape. A laurel
wreath in green enamel encircles the
whole, and this wreath surmounted
by the word "Valor" which in turn is
surmounted by an eagle that attaches
the decoration to its ribbon.
The Medal of Honor is a five point
army man, wears, when in service uni.
form, button or badge, siX-sided, and
made of blue silk with thirteen white
stars If in the navy, the decoration
is represented by a small red, white
and blue bow knot.
The Medal of Honor was first author
iznd by Congress on March 8, 1862
and was for on-commissioned officers
and privates only. But in 1868 it was
extended to commissioned officers as

DELL HART,
Oroville, Wash.

Not long ago an American war ves-
sci sunk German submarine, and in
an effort to save some of the crew of
the U-boat American sailors jumped
into the sea risking their lives to lend
assistance to an enemy. When German
submarines sink an enemy's vessel the
crews gleefully shoot the unfortunate
people struggling in the water, be they
men or women. And that is Just the
difference between the two national
tiles. American chivalry on the one side
and murderous inhumanity on the 9TH
en- On the one side men; on the other
brutes. Yet, strange to say there are
men and women in this country who
favor the savagery of the German as
against the humanity of the American.
Probably such incomprehensible per-
verts have always existed in all lands
ana among all peoples and will con-
tinue to exist until the crack of doom.
