may be conferred upon women in the
service of the army.
To date, no measures have been ia
ken to make similar provision for the
navy, but this will undoubtedly fol-
low. AS it is, the only war medal
open to the American sailor or naval
officer is the Congressional Medal OF
Honor. This places the marines in
strangely anomalous position with
respect to honors. While at sea, the
marines are under the navy and are
subject to the rules regarding war
medals obtaining in the navy. But
the marines now in France are under
the army and are technically entitled
to receive any of the new army deco
rationS.h
There can be no doubt that the
institution of new medals by Presi-
dent Wilson will have a beneficial eff
feet upon the morale of the Ameri-
can troops in France. Acts of hero
ism-of which we have already had
more than one instance-deServe rec
ignition, and from the military stand
point such recognition serves better
than anything else as stimulus and
incentive to all the troops. News of
the presidents action is said to have
been received with the greatest en-
thusiasm by our men now serving in
France.
For Extraordinary Heroism.
The Distinguished Service Cross is
to be a bronze cross with ribbon. 1t
will be awarded by the president, or
by General Pershing, to any person
who, while serving in any capacity
with the army, shall hereafter dis
tinguish himself or herself, or who,
since April 6, 1917, has distinguished
himself or herself, by extraordinary
heroism in connection with military
operations against an armed enemy
of the United States or under circum-
stances which do not justify the award
of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
The Distinguished Service Medal
will also be of bronze with a ribbon,
and will be awarded by the president
60 any person who, while serving in
any capacity in the army, shall here
after distinguish himself or herself or
who, since April last, has distin-
guished himself or herself, by excep-
| tionally meritorious service to the gov
eminent in a duty of great RESPONSE
bility in time of war in connection
with military operations against an
armed enemy of the United States.
| Thus it will be seen that to win the
d. S. C. it viii be almost necessary
| for a man to see service In France,
while the Distinguished Service Medal
may be won by a man whose duties
| in the army are confined to this side
of the water.

WEATHER MAN HAS
 AGAIN GONE CRAZY
Special Weather Bulletin to Independ- ent Predicts Cold Wave and
 Another Snow.

The weather ma his smoking hop again. After giving us breathing spell. which brought the hope that made us dream again of the cheery sunlight, he had one of his agents wire the Independent last night urg- ing us to notify stockmen in this sec tion that rain would turn to snow, followed by a drop of the mercury to at least IA above, with the additional statement that it was to remain cold today, though probably the skies would be clear. Let every one gov ern himself accordingly.
 An Associated Press dispatch from Washington told of conditions in the middle west, where another tie up of transportation facilities is threaten ed by cold weather and snow storm, which at 10 o'clock last night had reached depth of eight inches in Chicago, and heavy gale was piling the snow in drifts.
 Last night it was impossible for one to see any distance ahead, so thick was the fog. Most of the snow and ice disappeared from the streets yesterday, and in spite of the chal- lcnging condition of the weather, a fair-sized crowd came to town, and business was not as bad as had been anticipated.
 Monday business will be resumed on the same schedule as was the prac- tice before the fuel saving order be- came effective.

Discussion of War Aims and Peace Terms Claims Public Attention to

Associated Press Dispatch.
 New York, Jan. 26.-A discussion of war aims and peace terms is claiming public attention almost to the exclusion of military affairs. Ac- tive operation is in progress nowhere at present.
 Press comment in London is that Germany has adopted an uncompro- missing attitude while Austria, al- though more conciliatory, remains faithful to her ally. The representa- tive French view is that an effort is being made to drive wedge between the allied nations by attempting to separate the debates of each.
