MEN COVER HERE" TO
GET SILVER CHEVRON

WASHINGTON. Dec. 11.-Officers
and men of thearmy, who failed to
reach the fighting front by reason OF
the duty imposed upon them in this
country, will not be denied recognition
of their service in the winning of the
war. By direction of President Will
son, as commander in chief of the
army. General March, chief of staff
today issued an order that hereafter
such men shall be entitled to wear d
silver chevron, similar to the gold one
authorized for service overseas.
1.-THE president" said the order, de
sires on behalf of the nation to ex-
press his appreciation of the vitality
essential and self-sacrificing service
given by officers and men, whom mill
tary necessity has held and is holding
for performance of duties outside the
theater of active operations. Their
contribution to military success is n,
less than that of those who have had
opportunity for service at the front
On them devolved the creation Of the
great armies of the nation and their
supply, with the equipment and stores
indispensable to military operations.
The country holds in grateful appre-
citation the fundamental service they
have rendered in winning the war"
The officers and men will be entitled
to wear one silver chevron for each
six months service.

DAY Of ISOLATION
IS PAST, DANIELS

BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-THE day of
isolation in the United States has
passed for good or i'll, and 1 profoundly
believe it is for good. This republic
must concern itself with every prob
lem that touches the people of every
portion of the world" declared Sec
rotary of the Navy Daniels in an ad-
dress at a banquet given here tonight
by the Southern Commercial congress
in honor of the diplomatic representa-
tives of the nations associated with the
United States in the world war.
The secretary said the Monroe doc
trine would always abide as a pillar
of cloud by day and a pillar of fire
by night"
But our interests" he added, while
close, are to be made still more in
innate and cordial with other Ameri-
can republics, and must embrace the
welfare of men in every cline and
under every sky
I'VE look for sound definitions and
perfect safeguards for the freedom o.
the seas, and such a league af nations
of high tribunal, with powers to en-
force DEGREES, as will give to all people
the security from the danger of wa:
as will enable them to work out theii
own destiny, and secure enlarged
prosperity" said the secretary.
ITO enable our country to defend its
own and the liberties of other FREE
peoples the secretary said it would
be the part of wisdom for this con-
gress to authorize another three-year
program of naval construction, identi-
cal in power with the program adopted
three years ago.

ELEVEN JURORS NOW
READY TO TRY I. w. w,

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. Ii
Eleven jurors had been accepted ten
tatively in the Industrial Workers of
the World conspiracy trial in the
United States district court here, when
court adjourned tonight.
There was a prospect one of the
eleven jurors would be excused when
court reconvened tomorrow United
States District Judge F. H. Rudkin, an
nounced that juror Samuel r. Palan-
dech, restaurant proprietor, had JC-
ceived word that a brother had dis
appeared in New Mexico, and that
Palandech desired to take up the
search Immediately, if he did not re-
ceive word of his relatives safety over
night. 1t was agreed he would be ex-
cused if no further word was received.
Many prospective jurors were ex-
cused in rapid succession this after
noon, and two special venires we're ex-
hausted because a number of those
summoned for service stated they had
formed an opinion in regard to the
case, which they could not discard
easily.

ECONOMY IS SLOGAN
BASEBALL LEAGUES

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Baseball play
ers of the American league who de-
serted their clubs last season for posi-
tons in shipyards, probably will be
barred from playing in the league, if
a resolution to be introduced at the
annual meeting of the league here to-
morrow is adopted. President Ban
Johnson said tonight that a resolution
had been prepared for submission to
the meeting, but he withheld the name
of the club owner who drew it up.
Radical retrenchment will be the pol
icy adopted for the 1919 season. Presi-
dent Johnson said that while the club
owners did not favor reducing the pres
ent player limit of 25, they would not
carry any more players than absolutely
necessary on the road trips, and that
the club trainers probably will be left
at home.
The length of the 1919 schedule and
the date for opening the season will be
among the important questions to be
considered tomorrow. While President
Johnson himself favors 140-game
schedule, the usual program of 154
games probably will be adopted, al
though definite action will not be taker
until after the proposed joint meeting
with the national league.

TWELVE SPIES SHOT
IN TOWER OF LONDON

LONDON, Dec. 11.-(British Wire
less Service During the war twelve
spies were shot in the Tower of Lon
don, according to the report now cur
rent. Carl Hans Lody, alias Charles
A. Inglis, who at one time was a resi-
dent of Omaha, Nebraska, was the fist
to be executed.
Two women spies were sentenced to
DEATH, but both were reprieved, the
sentences being committed to long
period prison terms. One of the women,
Lizzie Werthe, regarded as very dan
gerous, was tried in company with a
man named Rowlands. Rowlands was
executed. This couple made frequent
journeys between London and Rosyth,
Scotland, and obtained information re-
garding the movements of the British
fleet. This information, however, it is
declared, never reached Germany.
The other woman spy was Eva
Bournouville, who is undergoing penal
servitude for life.
One spy hanged himself in Brixton
prison, while many others, convicted
of espionage, escaped the extreme
penalty
