ALLIED AYIATORS DECORATED
 BY KING OF ITALY

The awarding of prizes to British, French, American and Italian aviators who gained renown for themselves on the Italian front, was held recently on the aviation Camp in the Italian Wra zone in the presence of the King of Italy, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Costa and the heads of the aero nautical branches of the Allied arm ies. The King himself distributed the honors, medals and war crosses to the aeroplane and dirigible operators.
 The British were the first to re- ceive their decorations. Major John Tudor Whitaker received the cross of Cavalier of the Crown of Italy. There were in all twelve decorations for the British. The French were honored next with four decorations. Among the Americans decorated were F. La GuaMia, commander of the Ameri- can aviation f orces on the Italian front; Lieut.. Patrick MacGilvary, Lieut.. Bogart Gilbert, Craig Mahon, Alexander Beach, Arthur Potthoft, William Wilson. Warren Downs, Norton Fitch, Willis Riley, Leroy Johnson, Goster Bovin Allen.
 Major Gabrielle D'Annunzio was the first of the Italians called. He was decorated with the official Cross of the Military Order of Savoy. His breast was bare of all other decora- tions when the King pinned this cross upon him. There were 120 silver med als and twenty bronze ones conferred on Italian aviatOrs.
 Specimens of all types of machines and aeronautical equipment were re- viewed by the King and party after the ceremony of the decorations.
