REGARDING WAR DECORATIONS.

''No title of nobility shall be granted
by the United States; and no person
holding any office Of profit or trust un-
der them shall, without the consent OF
congress, accept of any present, emolu
ment, Office or title of any kind what
ever from any king, prince or foreign
state
This is the way the constitution Of
the United States reads:
The French are daily pinning the
war crosses upon the coats of American
soldiers abroad. 1t would be ungra-
cious to refuse the honor. The men
who receive it are justly proud of the
recognition Of their gallantry by our
allies. As all of these men hold Offices
of trust and profit under the United
States, however, they do not retain the
decorations thus given. They turn them
in to the quartermaster.
Because the constitution says they
must not? Not a bit of it.
The fathers were not so foolish as to
make so sweeping prohibition. They
forbade the acceptance Of honors from
foreign states unless congress should De
termine that it was proper for tn,
Americans honored to receive the dee
orations given.
Is there anyone to question if every
boy who is thus honored shall be per
mitted to retain the honor, and that thu
United States congress should fee
grateful TO the French republic at it
recognition Of American gallantry, no
grieved at it?
Let congress grant the permission
l which the constitution provides that
may grant, that American soldiers ma
receive and wear all the war medal
l they win.

WHAT IS ANGARY?

The right of "angary' is one with !
which Americans generally are not ia
miiar, but it is under this right that
the American government has taken
over the Dutch vessels now in our har-
bors. a CORRESPONDENT explains in the
Boston Herald And as some people
might suppose this action high-handed,
it is we'll that all Americans should
know ttt',,y5I+ sytc'r 1effon Is Sanctioned by
the terms of The Hague convention, ac-
knowledged by writer's on information
al law, and is in accordance with prece-
dents established by various European
governments,
Sir Thomas Barclay, a Ligh author
ity on international law, defines an
qary" in one of his articles in the
Encyclopaedia Britannica as ''tho name
pivcn TO the right Of belIigerents to
seize and apply for the purposes of war
any kind of property on belligerent
territory, including that which may be
long to subjects of neutral state.
Such right is sanctioned by article -
Of the regulations respecting laws and
customs of war annexed to The Hague
convention in 1899. "Staamers and
other ships" are specifically mentioned
as subject to the right of "angary.
Curiously enough the two most i'm
portant presidents supporting this right
are supplied by the German govern
meut itself. In the Franco Germa,
war Of 1901, the Prussian govern
ment seized rolling stock belonging t,
Switzerland and Austria and vessels be
longing to British subjects. The Brit
ish government offered no opposition
merely asking that payment be mad
in due course. The German govern
ment promised that payment should b
made.
The action of the American govern
| ment is. therefore, in accordance wit
| we'll established rules of information;
| law. 1t is the more important tha
! Americans should know this because OF
/ government has based all it's war a.
l tons on moral grounds and the Anne
| lean people are supporting the govern
= ment, at least in large measur
because it believes fully that NOR
rights are on the side of America ar
that the American people are fghtir
against a government and a Peep
which treats all conventions and .
treaties as ''seraps of paper

Having learned valuable lessons from

dorsey state board of education and
state board of health are in position
to make their cooperative plan for the
use of schoolboys on the farms far more
practical and successful this year. In
some sections the schoolboy help was a
big success last year, while in Others
it was a dismal failure. In large

seems 70 rest chiefly upon the farmers
