VICTORY FIGHTERS
WILL GET MEDALS
Trophies for All Allies to Be Alike.
Buttons and Ribbons Will
Show Service.

WaShington.-After a series of con-
ferences the United States and the
allies have agreed upon suitable
form of design for a military CAM
paign medal. The decoration will be
known as the Victory Medal and will
be given to every man who had at
least Il days active, honorable sery-
ice in the army during the war.
In addition, campaign buttons will
be provided for every officer and man.
Those who We're wounded i'll action
will wear silver buttons, all others
wearing bronze The buttons will be
worn in the lapel of civilian coats.
These probably will be ready for dis
tribution by May /.
The Victory Medal will have on the
diverse side a wing of victory" and
on the reverse will be the words
Great War for Civilization"
For battle SER ice, clasps will be
added showing the great engagements
in which the Wearer participated
These are: Somne defensive. which
started March 2l, 1918; Lys defen-
sive, AisneChemin DIES Danes de-
fensive, Montdidier-Noyon defensive,
ChampagneMarne defensive, Aisne-
Marine offensive, Somme offensive,
Oise-Aisne offensive, Ypres-Lys Of
fensive, st. Mihel offensive and Ar
gonne- Meuse offensive.
General March was asked which
American division broke the linden
burg line.
"A number of divisions, more eSpe-
cially in the Argonne-MeuSe often
sive, walked all over it," was his re-
ply.
His attention was called to pub
lished reports in the late summer and
early fall of 1918 that the Thirtieth
Division was first to break the line,
while officers and men attached to
New York's Twenty seventh Division,
after their return to this country,
claimed that honor.
General March said he did not know
which division first broke through the
Hndenburg line. I'VE pierced that
line at many points," he said.
In connection with criticism of
heavy American casualties in the Ar
gonne-Meuse offensive, General March
said he had had the casualties of some
Civil War engagements looked up.
In the Argonne-Meuse offensive, he
said our casualties were 1873 per cent.
At the battle of Shiloh in the Civil
War the Union forces suffered casual
ties aggregating n per cent, while at
Gettysburg the casualties were 20 per
cent. At Murfreesboro they We're %

FLIGHT NOT PRINCES FIRST
Former Heir to German Throne
Jumped From Window to Escape
Oncoming French.

The former crown prince of Germany
never took unnecessary chances. His
flight from his radical-swept father
land" is in keeping with traits he ex-
hibited to the French during many in
cidentS of the great war. In a letter
received at Chicago from Sergt. Ralph
Sinclair of the mobile ordnance repair
division, veteran of Chateau Thierry.
the One-time heir to the German crown
is described as jumping from window
to flee from the oncoming French.
The story was told Sergeant Sin
clair by the mistress of French
chateau near an American camp.
ut was during the first German drive
in 1914" Sergeant Sinclair wrote,
when they swept down into France
in the full flower of their military
power. She saw the tired Poilus fall
back, worn out with nine days of cease
less fighting to stem that apparently
Irresistible army. Then she saw the
great German war machine roll on.
Some of the German high command
came to her chateau, and then re-
Splendent figure on horseback. He
swung an emerald-headed swagger-
stick and bore himself with an air of
conscious superiority-the crown
prince.
"He informed the lady of the cha
teau that on the morrow his troops
would be in Paris. But six miles back
the tired Poilus had halted and fought
the first battle of the Marine And
quite suddenly and unexpectedly the
great German army started to go
back-with them the respondent
crown prince, who at the first news Of
defeat jumped from the window of a
neighbOring chateau where he was
staying and fed"

LLOYD GEORGE.

1t would require Il great stretch of
the imagination TO pick a man with
greater political acumen than Lloyd
George, premier Of England. His this
weeks speech to his counuNmen ON
the peace councils work III Paris was
a masterpiece of cool, remarkable self
control. He used no flouriSheS what
ever, merely pointing out that there
was tremendous labor attached TO the
work of preparing peace terms, and
that it all required time and patience.
In the main. The allies are in accord
with only minor differences remaining
to he adjusted. No man in his position
could afford TO make statement of
this kind if it We're not so. The NAL
contents who are sowing seeds of dis
cord at Paris, win reap the whirlWind
if they continue The world will get
no peace if a treaty is not made And
it cannot be made by nagging the
trainers of the greatest document in
history to hurry it along before it is
properly finished.

PITH OF THE
VICT RY NEW S

Soldiers who have been discharged,
but still wear their uniforms, must
wear the red chevron. This is not
only advisable, but compulsory. An
order of the war department was is
sued about a week ago to that eff
feet. Many soldiers, honorably dis
charged, are still wearing their uni
form, but have neglected to put on
the chevron. In this way they are
confused with those still in service
and are liable to arrest. Officers of
various cities are taking cognizance
of the new order, and it is likely
more chevrons will be worn or ar
rests will result.

PEACE AND COVENANT SURE.

Looking into the very recent past,
covering a relatively short time, the
present situation on the League of Ma
tions is almost revelation. Follow
ing President Wilson's return from
Paris and his quick get away back to
his post at the peace conference the
opponents had it all sewed up tight.
There was not to be a league at all.
1t was useless and would not insure
the peace of the world. The fourteen
points were valuelesS, had no meaning,
and therefore the signing of some sort
of peace treaty with Germany and 9th
er central powers was the only thing to
be done, then we would be out of 1t.
The detection of Senators Lodge,
Borah and others made great impress
sion. They foresaw the doom of the
Ieague-unless their counsel was tax
en-. 1t had to be changed radically If
it were to be passed upon at all. The
Monroe Doctrine, already protected in
the original draft of the covenant,
must be written in. Other necessary
changes were to be made or the United
States senate would reject it bodily.
Very well, the changes have been
made. They are not radical by any
means. 1t seems to satisfy even the
critics. and they alone are responsible.
1t makes little matter what President
Wilson said when he came back with
it that the first draft was for the pur-
pose of eliciting discussion.
And now, as the ides of April are
fast fitting away. we hear that the
President is soon TO return. The peace
pact is about finished, and the league
is ready, the finished product. In
little while, somewhat rushed, it is
true, due to an impatient world, the
peace treaty will be duly signed, and
once more the world will start out on
the new mission of getting along with
out war How much a program is
worth has twice been demonstrated by
President Wilson. When he went into
office his program was declared and
worked to the finish of its proposals.
In the European war ending, his pro-
gram was established, and he has va
ried very little from it.

SAMPLING THE RESIDENT.

He is so direct and straightforward
that he seems subtle and MacchlaYel-
liam to those who don't understand
him. He tries to do what is right ;
and that, of course, prOvOkes cynical
laughter among those who believe that
he must be CLEVER" He brings to bear
on all matters spiritual vision in
stead of the narrow parochial view
course, isn't done" by practical men.
When he thinks he is doing what will
benefit the ajority, he goes ahead in
spite of all obstacles; and that, of
course, is merely showing stubborn
ness anda blind disregard of advice.
He is big enough to risk diSpleaSure
by doing the unpopular thing, if he
thinks it the moral thing to do. He
scorns eXpediency, intrigue and politi-
cal chicanery also those who believe
them necessary He believes that ii
mans attitude toward any circun-
stance is of more Importance than the
itself. In short, he is a
statesman with Il metaphysical mind.
and the dictionary meaning of the
word metaphysical will show why he
is far beyond the comprehension of so
many of uS-including the Demo-
cratic party.-P W., in New York
