HONOR BADGE PROPOSED
" FOR KIN OF HERO DEAD
Representative Wares Measure in
Congress Provides for Action by
War and Navy Heads.

Proposal that the United States gov
eminent designate a badge of honor
to be worn instead Of mourning by
members OF the families that have lost
dear ones in the fighting forces was
made to Congress yesterday by Rep
resentative William 8. Ware Of Penn
sy1vAnia.
This resolution recommended that the
Secretaries of War and of the Navy
have authority to designate with the
approval Of the President such badge
OF honor which can be worn by those
who have lost a son. brother. husband
or father in active duty as member
Of the Army. Navy or Marine Corps in
the war with Germany and Austria.
Representative Wares resolution
points out that the honor roll of the
nation, composed of those who have
lost their lives on the battlef1e1ds OF
France or on the high seas as part OF
the fighting forces. OF the United States.
is growing every day, bringing honor
to their parents. brothers, sisters and
others. He proposes that the creation
Of an insignia other than that of silent
mourning would serve to eliminate the
wearing Of black in memory OF those
killed In patriotic service. preserving
and maintaining a glad rather than a
sad nation, that the morale OF the civil
and military ranks may be strength
ened rather than depressed.
