wAsHIHoroN. May 1a.-There was re-

diate introduction by the House and
Senate Military committees Secretary
Bakers bill to be substituted for all
pending legislation providing for the
award OF decorations to the American
heroes in. the present struggle for de-
mocracy. The decorations are divided
into three classes, two OF which are new.
They are
First, medals OF honor second distir-
guisfed service crosses. third, distin-
guished service medals.
Medals Of honor under the provisions
Of the bill will he presented by the Pres
ident In the name of Congress to officers
or enlisted men who "in action involving
actual conflict with an enemy distin-
guish themselves conspicuously by gal
lantry and intrepidity at the risk Of life
above and beyond the call OF duty
The medal OF honor to he presented by
the President takes the place Of the Con-
greasional medal OF honor heretofore
awarded only by Congressional act This
removes the chances for delay IN the
distribution OF Americas most signal
military distinction. The medal Of honor
under the terms Of its grant parallels
the French CroiX dc Guerre with

To win the American medal OF honor
requires a deed OF gallantry equivalent
to that required TO earn the Victoria

any man or woman who while serving in
any capacity In tho army since the
United States entered the present war

capacity In the army who has or who
shall hereafter distinguish himself or

The distinguished service cross prac-

British Distinguished Service, Order.
The distinguished service medal has NO

Such decorations among our allies have
various and sundry expressions in the
form Of special orders and crosses.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE.
May iS.-A big enemy ammunition dump
At CantiGny was ared by the American
artillery this morning. At the same time
two fires were started In Montdidier. fol-
lowed by numerous explosions.
The weather continues misty and
rainy. There was no infantry action to-
day and only intermittent machine gun
and rife fire. The position OF the Ger
mans is becoming more and more in
tolerable, while the Americans are en-
trenchinG their positions more firmly.
Any hopes the enemy might have had Of
breaking through In this sector arc di-
minishine.
The Americans take nothing for
granted, but return tho enemy fire two
TO one. which Is believed to set new
pace in this sector. What appears to
trouble the Germans most Is that the
Americans never turn back when the
enemy uses gas. They give him double
dose Of the same, with everything else
the enemy tries.
Details Of the fighting in the Lune-
willie sector on Sunday tell OF an en-
counter between American and German
forces in No Mans Land. Three
American snipers. dressed in camou-
fiaRe suits, set out to discover nest
OF sharp shooters who had been operat-
ing with much success and had killed
one American ofIicer and one private.
They penetrated the enemy position and
suddenly encountered "A number OF
Germans. with an officer. standing a
few feet away.
The Americans quickly opened fire and
killed the officer and three men before
they were obliged to Withdraw. During
their return one man became lost and

that America and the Allies have gained
the mastery over the present type of
submarine Germany now is said to be
planning a new series Of big U.boat
cruisers with which she hopes to assume
again the advantage in her unrestricted
underwater warfare.
Announcement Of ths new German
scheme 10 made by Georges Ley6uss,
the French Minister Of Marine, in an in
terview received here to-day in an of,i-
cial despatch from France. The cruiser
submarines will be heavily armed and
armored and will be designed especially
TO meet the torpedo boat destroyers
which have proved so effective In hunt
ing down the smaller submarines now
in operation.
NJ Leygues declared that the Allies
are ready to meet Germany's new ef-
forts and that they will not rest upon
the "hne results obtained" in the past

Just how effective has been the war
against the C-boats is shown by figures
on destruction OF allied shipping given
to the Naval Committee Of the French
Chamber Of Deputies Saturday by Min
lister Leygues. They reveal that sink

the point where new construction IL ex-
ceedlng the destruction even before
American yards are In full swing on the
great building programme mapped out
by the Shipping Board.

the tonnage sunk was S71.o0o In April
Of this year 1t had dwindled to about
c6s.0O0 tons. =
On the other hand. the destruction OF
submarines Is exceeding their construc-
tion BY the enemy. and the margin is
expected to increase as additional Amer

turned out rapidly take their place with
the war craft operating In the war zone.

able to maintain this rate. which ON
cials doubt. the years total would be
something like 100000 tons, or less
than the estimated amount OF tonnage
which the shipping Board believes
America will produce during the year.
Adding to American production the
OUTPUT in Great Britain, France and
Japan the Allies would gain for the year
something like 100000 tons. not count
ing the 100000 or more tons OF char.
tered japanese and Norwegian ships and
reauisitioned Dutch vessels.
While encouraging. officials emphasize
the fact that these figures do not fur.

Conservation Movement

The organization now in working order among the Southside grocers and bakers for the complying with the government request to limit wheat products to six pounds per month to each person, is meeting with a hearty response on the part of the majority of the people. c. Fred Bracket, secretary of the or ganization, made a trip to Tempe yesterday morning for the purpose of confering with the merchants of that place in the effort to have the restrictions run as smoothly among the people as possible.
 The principal difficulty thus far, has been with the Mexicans and In dians who have difficulty in under standing the purpose of the cards, and naturally are somewhat suspi- cious as to the entire matter. How ever, among the 1,200 cards that have already passed through the hands of the central agent, there has been on the whole very little difficulty on the part of the merchants in satisfying the inquiries of their customers.

SCHOOL LAND NEAR AND IN TEMPE WILL
 BE S0LD IN JULY

TEMPE. May 16.-An important meeting for Tempe was held Tuesday in the city hall, when State Land Commissioner Moeur and the land ap- praisers of the school half section met with the present leasers of the land and with the city council and number of citizens. The plat which had for mallv bee naccepted by the city coun- cil. was approved. The appraisers of the land will begin on the lots and blocks at once Al. the part of the land within the corporate limits of Tempe will be in lots of two and one half acres, while the .40 acres out of the town limits will be divided into blocks of 10 acres, with four lots of two and one half acres each, and will be sold by the lot.
 When the land commission adver tises the land for sale, which will take place some time in July, they will publish a map of the plat, showing the blocks and lots, also the assessed valuation of the improvements, the terms of sale and the amount of money to be advanced on each $100 of the selling price.
 According 10 estimates, the amount to pay on each $100 will be S7. and the remainder will be payable in 3S years.
 The plan is that not more than one lot shall be purchased by one person. It is said by those who have been in terested that there are plenty of people who have signified t,,eir intention of purchasing a lot. The subdivision ot the land on this plan will certainly be one of the best things which has come to Tempe recently.
