From Committee on Public Information)
Washington. Marine corps head
quarters gives the committee on pub
nc information a graphic account OF
the decoration of American marines
with the French Croix de Guerre for
heroic service in battle last May. 1t
snys In part:
''Within the sound and range of the
German guns, hidden by the shelter
ing trees of dense forest, under
heavy morning mist and a driving rain,
french veterans of Verdun, the Marne,
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,
cournge and coolness in action against
the enemy during the occupation of a
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-
fion and sixteen were wounded and in
the field hospital.
'A number OF French soldiers were
decorated ut 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
10 form square. The presentation of
the decorations took place within this
human enclosure. The marines and
poilus, side by side, presented a pic
ture symbolicnl Of the close bond ex-
listing between America and France in
this conflict and particularly so of the
manner In which marines have worked
md fought with the French soldiers
during the period Of their instructions
IN an adjacent sector.
'"rhe French general who pinned
the decorations on the breasts of the
proud marines eloquently praised their
achievements In short speech In
which he summarized their deeds Of
bravery. remarking on the fine state
OF discipline and efficiency Of the bri-
Ende. and congratulating its command
fnE officer upon his excellent orgnni-
Katlon. He then pinned the little
bronze emblems on the men, and shook
each one by the hand with n personal
word OF congratulation."

The priorities division of the war
industries board has decided that hol-
low tile manufacture is in part of naA
tional importance and continued man>
ufacture of tiles throughout the war
period will be safeguarded by giving
the industry a place on the prefer
ence list for fuel and transportation.
Judge Edwin B. Parker, priOrities
commissioner, in a letter to the hollow
tile manufacturers, says: '"The prior
ities board is of the opinion that yours
is in part war industry because your
product Is used in many of the build
ing operations carried on directly by
the war agencies of the government,
and in the collateral yet indispensa-
BILE housing programs which are being
and will be prosecuted in communities
where soldiers, sailors and war work
ers are being concentrated.
an the opinion Of the board your
industry also is in part one of national
Importance in that q portion of your
ations and in ensilage savings proc
esses making possible higher producs
tion per acre and per farmer of foods
and feeds, taking into account the la
Dor expended in applying such prod
ucts TO the land"
Hollow tile manufacturers must give
a pledge of cooperation with the gov
ernment that they will not use mate
rials except in the manufacture of
products for essential uses as defined
and applied by the priorities division
of the war Industries board, and that
they win guard against resale of the
product for any except essential uses.
There will be permitted, however,
sales of small quantities of tiles for
repairs or extensions to existing struc-
lures involving in the sgregate cost
not exceeding $500.

Miss Mary Van Kleeck, director Of
the women in industry service of the
department of labor, announces the
creation of a committee of experts.
The committee will visit various
centers where women have been drawn
into industries at work on war con-

industrial poisons will be inquired into
with reference to their effect on the
health OF the women employed, and
whether the effect is so detrimental as
to Justify an order prohibiting such
employment.

The war industries board has de-
sentials and that in civilian industries
they constitute an important trans
pOrtation medium and their produc-
tion should be facilitated and not cur
tailed. But no pledge to see that mo-
tor truck manufacturers got all the
steel they wanted was given by the
priorities division of the board.
Judge Parker. priorities commission
er, observed: "The manufacturers and
dealers fully realize that steel is today
the worlds most needed metal and
that in view of the urgent war de-
mands of this nation and the allies,
1t is we'll nigh reasonable to consume
n pound of it that can be saved. They
pledged themselves to reverse their
practices of normal times and, instead
of selling through solicitation as many
! trucks as possible and furnishing new
| trucks to replace old ones, to use their
utmost endeavor to induce owners and
operators to repair old ones and use
the trucks they have as long as pOssi-
BILE, to operate them fully loaded, and,
through shifts of drivers and other
wise to keep them in use during the
greatest possible portion Of the day."

gests to farmers q gas attack on bean

SAVING OF BABIES
CAMPAIGN ON TO CONSERVE
CHILDHOOD OF NATION.
Safer To Be a Soldier on the Fighting
Front Than an Infant at Home,
Says Josephine Baker.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Being
baby in the cradle is more dangerous
than being soldier in the trenches,
according to S. Josephine Baker. di-
rector of the bureau of child hygiene
of the New York City health depart
ment.
There are four casualties in the al
lied armies out of every 100 men en-
gagged in the course of the year, said
DIR. Baker at meeting of the health
committee of the mayors committee
of women on national defense opening
the campaign here for federal chill
dren's year which aims to aid in saw
ing the lives of loo, 900 children in the
United States.
in the United States, twelve ba-
bies out of every 100 die in the course
of the year." she added. $50 that
one way of putting it would be to say
that it is three times safer to be
soldier in the trenches in this horri-
BILE war than to be baby in the sra
die in the United States.
at is not only necessity but y
patriotic duty to see that our chill
dren are well cared for" she ron-
tinued. I'VE are spending our man
hood in the war, but we cannot afford
to lose the next generation. The chill
dren of this generation will take up
the affairs of the world in the period
of reconstruction and carry it on.
''In Europe they have seen fit to
save more babies and to devote more
time and money to child welfare than
to anything else except fighting"
Conservation of child life in the
allied countries is aided by their sys-
TENS of maternity insurance, it is be-
ing pointed out. Health insurance, as
proposed in the United States and now
being officially considered in nine
states with view to legislation as a
need accumulated by the war, includes
maternity benefits with medical, nurs-
ing and obstretrical care and cash
benefits to safeguard motherhood and
childhood against suffering, impaired
strength or fatality.

ALL MUST BELOYAL
NATURALIZED CITIZENTS MUST
SUPPORT GOVERNMENT.
Attorney General Ready TO Start De-
natur alization Proceedings When
Facts Warrant Such Action

Attorney General Gregory has in
structed all United States attorneys
to bring to his attention Immediately
all cases of naturalized citizens,
whether or not of German origin, who
have evidenced such disloyalty to the
United States as would justify the
commencement of decentralization
proceedings against them. In each
case so reported the district attor-
neys are instructed to furnish sum-
mary of the facts which can be es-
tablished on the trial.
Recently the United States attorney
for the district of New Jersey brought
a proceeding for decentralization
against Frederick w. Wusterbarth, n
r54turalized German native. The pro-
ceedng was based upon the ground
that the defendants final papers had
been secured by fraud. consisting of
n secret reservation of allegiance to
Germany at the time Wusterbarth
formally made oath of unqualified al
legiance to the United States. The
evidence from which such a reserva-
ton might be inferred consisted of
disloyal statements made since the
declaration of war. Judge Haight of
the district court ordered the cancel
lation Of Wusterbarth's naturalization
papers.
Two similar cases recently arose in
the western district Of Washington.
In the first. which apparently involves
the same legal proposition as the New
Jersey case, United States District
Judge Cushman denied a motion to
dismiss the proceedings. In the Sec
ond Washington case a German who
served with the German army from
1902 to 1904 and was naturalized in
1911 has had his certificate of nat
uralixation cancelled.
The decisions of the district courts
are considered of immediate impor-
lance by the attorney general because
of the far-reaching effect which such
decisions should have in discourage
ing disloyalty on the part of all nat
uralized citizens. 1t is the intention
Of the attorney general to institute
similar proceedings without delay in
all cases where the facts appear to
warrant such action.

years before, printing was confined
largely to newspaper. periodical and
book publication and rapid duplication
was impossible. Editions were linn
tied, and even weekly newspapers
were forced to stop growing when the
paper mills were unable to supply the
necessary blank paper.
To-day almost every undertaking
runs on printing. Not only states and
counties and cities, but also schools
must be supplied in way that few
years ago would have been thought to
be out of the question. Benefit socie-
ties and organizations generally could
never survive without printing. Rail-
roads could not run, courts could not
decide, amusements would not attract
without printing.
Our Splendid Heritage.
This heritage is ours. 1t is ours
to foster and protect it. We have a
glorious past. We have won in many
a contest. But every victory brings
added duties and on our constant vigil
lance the future of our craft depends.
but let us each and all here again
resolve to carry forward every neces-
sary good work in the interest of our
great and noble craft-the printing
art.
Dreams of Sweet Repose.
ut is fitting to close with the beau
tiful words and sentiment of our own
poet-William Cullen Bryant:
$50 live, that, when thy summons
comes to join
The innumerable caravan, that moves
To that mysterious realm, where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls of
death,
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at
night,
Scourged to his dungeon; but sus-
tanned and soothed
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy
grave
Like one that draws the drapery of
his couch
About him, and lies down to pleasant
Dreams"
