Prvm Committee on Public Information
Washington. Marine corps head
quarters gives the committee on pub
lie information a graphic account of
the decoration of American marines
with the French CroiX de Guerre for
heroic service In battle last May. 1t
says in part:
Within the sound and range of the
German guns, hidden by the shelter
Ing trees of dense forest under a
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,
courage and GOODNESS in action against
the enemy during the occupation of
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 &C
ton and sixteen were wounded and in
the field hospital.
"A number of French soldiers were
decorated at the same time. AS is the
custom half company from each of
the companies whose men were hon
Ored was present and drawn up so as
TO form q square The presentation Of
the decorations took place within this
human enclosure. The marines and
pOilus, side by side, presented a pic
ture symbOlical of the close bond ex-
listing between America and France in
this conflict and particularly so Of the
manner in which marines have worked
and fought with the French soldiers
during the period of their instructions
in an adjacent sector.
1.-THE 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-
gade, and congratulsting it's command
ing Officer upon his excellent organi-
cation. He then pinned the little
bronze emblems on the men, and shook
each one by the hand with a personal
word Of congratulatiOn."

Uniform standards of physical ex.
aminstiOns governing entrance into all
branches Of the regular army, the ma
tiOnal army and the National Guard
have been adopted by the war depart
ment and will be observed by the army
medical department and the local and
medical advisory boards under the &C.
lective service regulations.
Observance of the new rules and
regulations by the local boards will
result, it is believed, in uniform ex-
aminations In all parts of the country
and should prevent men physically dis
qualified for military service from be-
ing sent out to camps The new stand
ards also will enable local physicians
to make examinations with a better
understanding of the needs Of the
army and will clear any miscOncep-
lions and misunderstanding that
might result in the sending to camps
of men who had been rejected.
Heretofore the physical standards
Of the three armies have differed and
instances have been noted where men
who have been rejected for service by
the recruiting officers of the regular
army have been accepted for military
service by draft board physicians. I'm
der the new uniform standards this
will not be possible unless the disQuali-
flying defect has been removed. The
rule for all three armies Is that to
make a good soldier a man must be
able to see well, have comparatively
good hearing, his heart must be able
to stand the stress of physical exer-
ton, he must be intelligent enough to
understand and execute military ma
neuvers, obey commands, protect him
self. and must be able to transport
himself by walking as the exigencies
of military life may demand.
Exceptions from the new standard
rules are made in the case OF men Sc
lected for special and limited service.
The experience of the past year has
enabled the medical authorities TO es-
tablish these new standards of exam
nations which will relieve the local
boards of doubt as to decisions in I'M
usual cases. Enough such cases have
been examined to establish policy in
determining their military fitness. In
structions are given as to what classes
of men may be accepted for limited
service, and for treatment for remedia-
BILE defects.

HOW MARINES
RECEIVECROSSES
Description Of The Ceremony of Their Decoration By The
French Naton-Their Heroism Is Lauded- Our Army
Needs More Chaplains and Is Training Them.

The army is in need Of chaplains,
says the war department. A chaplain
is needed for every 1900 officers and
men. A special kind of chaplain Is de-
sired-a sturdy, outstanding brotherly
man, between twenty-one and forty
five years, who has deep solicitude for
the welfare of the soldiers.
There is a special school for army
chaplains at Camp Zachary Taylor,
near Louisville KY. About 200 chap
lains come from this school to take up
their work with the army after a
course lasting five weeks, and the
courses go on continuously Approx
mately one-fifth of the clergymen who
start the course fail to complete it or
to qualify for the army
Candidates for admission to the
school must have the endorsement Of
their denomination superiors and Or
ganized religious bureaus and boards
recognized by the government authori-
ties, and must pass the physical tests
of the local army draft board. At

$39 month, which Is the pay of first
class private. After completing the
course successfully the government re-
turns the student to his home, and
when he is appointed to the army he
takes the rank and pay Of first lieu
tenant of the national army, $1,000 q
year at home and $1,000 year abroad.
The training of chaplain is pracd-
cal and intensive. His days In school
are busy ones. He rises like any com
mon soldier at 8 AS a. m. has fifteen
minutes of setting up drill and is re-
CURED to circle around the parade
ground at double time before break
fast. He must police his quarters like
any other soldier, undergo an infan-
try drill without arms OF As minutes,
and then attend lectures and recita-
tons. The latter cover military and
international law, service customs,
and field service regulations pertain
ing to chaplain's duties. The school
surgeon instructs him in sanitation
and first aid, and experienced chap
lains give clinics on actual work with
the army. He Is given instructions
also in horsemanship, because in field
service he will be mounted ofsieer.

The war Industries board has de-
cided that motor trucks are war es-
Sentials and that in civilian industries
they constitute an important trans
portation medium and their produc-
ton 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 wen nigh reasonable to consume
a pound Of 1t 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 posi-
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."

The priOFities division of the war
industries board has decided that hol-
low tile manufacture is In part of ma
tional importance and continued man
ufacture of tiles throughout the war
period will be safeguarded by giving
the industry a place on the prefer
enSe list for fuel and transportation.
Judge Edwin B. Parker, priOrities
commissioner, in a letter to the hollow
tile manufacturers, says: 1.-THE prior
tiles board is of the opinion that yours
is in part war industry because yoar
product is used in many of the build
ing operations carried on directly by
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.
"In the opinion of the board your
industry also is in part one of national
importance in that portion of your
product is used in land drainage oper-
atoms and in enslaGe savings proc
esses making possible higher produc-
ton 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
eminent that they will not use mate
rails 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 will 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 aggregate cost
not exceeding $500.

WARRANT OUT FOR ARREST OF VoN HoEGEN
He Has Disappeared From New Ha- ven-FederaI Agents Warned.

New Haven, Conn, Jan. S.-Although a general warning to federal agents has been sent out from New Haven to federal agents all over the east. no trace has yet obtained Of the where abouts of Maximilian Von Hogan, sought for arrest under a government warrant. Won Hoegen had left his home here before the arrival last night of party of United States officers: When he got away after he had been severely beaten up by citizens Satur- day night, has not been learned. nor whether he left in disguise. Members of his immediate family profess to be as much puzzled by his disappearance as the authorities.
 What the government charges in it's warrant has not been divulged. He had written pro- German sentences up- on a questionnaire but the federal agents refuse to state that that is the cause of the proceedings against him.
 His disappearance recalls the fact that he admitted some time ago that he had accepted money from agents of Germany as pay for ascertaining data about munitions plant here and it is known that he has been under watch since then by federal agents state officials and also by privately paid guards.
