the movement from its inception
shortly before the United States en-
tered the war down to the present day
and with a predication as to what
will be the future of war gardening.
1t Is illustrated with numerous pic
lures showing all varieties of garden
activities and reproductions in colors
of the different posters which were
used in spreading the message.
In describing the beginning Of the
movement which developed with such
marvellous speed, Mr. Pack says:
While the organizers of the National
War Garden Commission were opti-
mistic and looked forward confidently
to the accomplishment of large re-
suits, they little dreamed that the war
garden movement would grow so rap
idly. The war garden idea struck a
patriotic chord. The American peo-
pie answered the call to help win the
wal by producing food in their back
yards with the same unanimity and
enthusiasm they had shown in re-
spending to each other appeal the
country had made for service"
Then after telling of how millions
VI t-NJ 6AoOON0 AAO-A AO0o IN
got out into the garden trenches and
Of how they followed this up with a
big garden conservation campaign
which piled the pantries high with
canned beans and beets and other
garden products. he goes on to say:
Home food production will continue
because 1t has been found worth
while; and. like other things which
this war has demonstrated to be OF
value and benefit to mankind. 1t will
last. War gardening will permanently
establish itself because its peace-time
value will fully equal it's wartime
worth. This win be true at all times,
but more particularly during the first
Ave or ten years Of the great recon
struction period. IN the city farmer
has been found a partial answer to the
stay-on-the-farm idea. Ambitious
young men and women viii not re-
main In the country VIII ere comforts
are denied and where advantages Of
social life and education are few; but
they will be glad to farm in the city.

Picture OF a nineteen-year-old girl.
1905 are just below his name. The
rugged face of this sixty-nine year
old Hungarian is so life-like that 1t
seems ready to speak.
Hundreds Of pictures of these graves
might be shown, for the cemetery Is
we'll kept and there are miles of walks.
Still another popularity Is the
bronze or iron lamp posts on the
raves and the huge silver balls set up
on many. The latter are like the coll
ored glass balls used upon our Christ
mas trees except they are always sill
vered and much larger. There, seems
to be no way of lighting the lamps and
the only inference is that they are used
to light the dead to Heaven or where
candles may be placed when relatives
or friends are offering prayers for the
dead. Is the Roman Catholic and
Greek church Is the prevailing religion
of the country.
Altogether a study of this cemetery
is one of the most interesting things in
Budapest.

peace. It has been conferred upon
several Americans.
The Italian Military Medal, an
award brought about by the recent
war, was recently sent to the mothers
of the first two Americans who's brav-
cry deserved it. Both were killed. The
Italian military attache in Washington
made the presentation; the two women
receiving the medals were Mrs. James
Cummings Barr, of New York, n
Mrs. william Davenport Plat, of Bal
timore.
Belgium has a medal for m~eritorious
service for the present war. 1t was in
stituted by King Albert in 1915, and is
known as the Belgium eros de
Guerre. This, like the Italian decora-
ton has been won by a few Amer
fcans.
Sergeant Ruth Farnan, an English
woman, the first n 10 hold a COM
mand in the Serbian Army, has been
decorated with the order of Kara
gorge. founded in 1904 by King Peter
of Serbia. 1t is conferred with a
sword for specially meritorious serv-
ice in the Serbian Army. II is especial
ly beautiful, being made of gold and
enamel and hung with red ribbon.
This lady also received two lesser dec
orations for bravery under fire.

He declares that the "city farmer" is
here to stay and that there seems to
be no doubt but that the back yard
and vacant lot garden has become a
permanent institution In America.
Magnificent Work OF Pres
THE printed word, the most power
full force known 10 civilization. made
war gardens possible" writes Mr..
Pack. IN no other way could they
have been made to multiply SO rapidly
In all parts OF the land. From print
er's ink to parsnips and parsley is a
long jump; but the newspapers and
magazines made that jump along with
the others which they made for Lib
erty Loans, the Red Cross and various
other war-work campaigns. How much
Of q debt Of gratitude the nation owes
to It's patriotic editors It probably
never will be able to realize fully,
but Il does know that without their
whoie-hearted support and their loyal
assistance It would never have been
able to arouse the people of the Unit
ed States as a whole to the strenuous
efforts which they exerted to back up
tho Government and the fighting
forces" Both the daily press and
the magazines Of the country are
praised in this fine memorial volume
which will stand as g permanent rec
ord Of an important wartime activity,
for their patriotic assistance.

If given to an Englishman or colonist
1t carries with II and implies right 10 a
pension and by British law may never
be taken from the recipient under any
condition whatever. There is but one
class Of this medal but when conferred
upon a naval man It has n blue rib
bon while when given to the Army 1t
hangs from a purple ribbon. In for
mer wars only 1872 in all were given
put. During the present var a much
larger number were awarded for never
in the history OF the world have men
shown such acts of bravery and the
achievements of soldiers in all former
wars were completely overshadowed.
The Victoria Cross is given to both off
GERS and privates.
The Croix dc Guerre
The Croix de Guerre of France was
established on April Sth, 1915. There
are four classes of this, the first one
being for mention in regimental orders
and for each subsequent citation is
added a star, or a wreath for air
service.
Major General John A. Lejune. the
popular commander OF the Second Di-
vision Of the Marine Corps. received
this medal, the presentation being
made after the armistlce was signed,
at Leutesdorf. Germany.

had fought many times with their
backs against the wall. The horde of
young Americans who came 5000 miles
to help break the lines of the Huns
and who hesitated at nothing until the
"job," as they called 1t, was finished
gave them a new courage and they
delighted to honor them with medals
for their brave acts.
The Victory Cross
OF course. Of the foreign honor
medals England's Victoria Cross was
the most coveted and even before the
United States entered the war so many
of our men had fought both in the
British Army and the Canadian and
shown such great bravery that many
of them had been decorated.

1856; the Distinguished Service Order

has been customary for time
immemorial to award some tangi-
Bile symbol of bravery and herolsm.
1t is done in the ordinary course
of affairs for some extraordinary feat
or achievement which has been accom-
plished and philanthropists have sub
scribed large sums OF money to pro-
cure medals or other evidences of
brave deeds so hat those who risk
life and limb for some just cause or TO
rescue someone from danger may be
rewarded for their courage. Human

whether the heroism is in the walks
of life where the general public is
benefited or. in private affairs where
the benefit may be ar individual.
The high conception of the purpose
of such rewards is fully maintained in
its application to deeds Of heroism and
sacrifice In the great conflict just end

ing medals from other countries as

Of man has never been shown to such
an extent as in the deeds which have
merited these rewards.
The fearlessness of our boys amazed
the officers of the other countries, not
because there were not brave men
among their own soldiers but because
these fresh young patriots from Amer
lea were not tired like their own men,
but were eager and ready for the fray
at any time. They fought side by side
