TOURISTS VIEW RUINS
OF FAMOUS FRENCH CITY

VERDUN, France.-Scores Of
America tourists have visited Yer
dun recently, most of them spend
ing part of day looking over the
ruins of the lefty that was" and
passing on to some other nearby
town for the night. Many of these
sight-seers have been individuals
and delegations who came over in
some connection with President
Wilson's trip.
Several thousand French soldiers
and handful of American troops
are quartSed in the shell-shattered
city. No civilians have come back
as the tremendous task of rehabili-
tation has not begun. Every Sun
day morning the bells of the cath
edral are rung but no services have
vet been held within its bare walls.
The bell tower is one of the few
parts of the church which have
not been shot away by German
shells.

AMERICAN WAR MEDALS

Every medal that the United
States government confers is made
in the Philadelphia mint. For the
war department alone, the big fed
eral money factory is at present
turning out twenty-five types of
medals The badges of honor award
ed to Marshals Foch, Haig and Joffre
and other distinguished Allied COM
manders. were the product of the
mint.
Marshal Foch is reported to have
remarked that the American Dis
tinguished Service Medal is the
handsomest military decoration
awarded. About two hundred of
these medals of bronze and brilliant
blue enamel are made every week
and turned over to the war depart
ment for shipment to the camps
and army headquarters at home and
abroad.
Many more of the Military
Crosses, awarded for va!or, are be-
ing made. More than five thousand
of these have already been shipped
from the mint. In manufacturing
these medals ten impressions are
made by a hydraulic press on a
small square of bronze, beginning
with one hundred tons pressure and
increasing to two hundred and fifty
tons After the die has been
stamped in this fashion, the cross is
cut out by machine The medal is
then passed to workmen who fashion
the little cross-bars from which it
is suspended, ribbons are attached
and the decoration is placed in a
box ready for delivery.
The United States navy Medal of
Honor is made at the mint There
also are manufactured the various
kinds of medals awarded for sharp
shooting, Workmanship and other
honors of the service.
An order now being filled calls
for ten thousand Mexican service
medals, attractive bronze discs for
the men who were in the Vera
Cruz expedition. Now that the
Peace Conference at Paris has ap-
proved the award of distinctive
service medal to every man who
served in any of the Allied armies,
the Philadelphia mint may be called
upon to manufacture medals by the
million

hardships of the war. Their lives
constantly endangered, they faced
the perils of the deep, the menace
Of an unseen foe, the danger of col
lision and the liability to instant
death by accidents from inflam-
mable cargoes.
1t is on record that a convoy of
fifty ships from New York was
disintegrated by violent storm in
mid-Atlantic and that only two of
the entire number reached France
under convoy, Every ship for her
self the forty-eight others by luck,
pluck and constant vigil all finally
dropped their anchors in the pro-
tected harbors of their destination.
Not only were these crews con-
fronted with the normal perils of
the sea, says the report, but they
faced destruction from torpedo, col
lision and other unforeseen accidents
that might cause fire in inflam-
mable cargoes. 1t takes brave men
to steam week in and week out thru
submarines and mine-infested waters
at eight knots an hour in a ship
loaded with several thousand tons
OF depth charges, T. \. T. or poison
gas. not knowing what minute the
whole works is going to be blown
to Kingdom Come"
The value of cargo ship is
realized when it is known that un-
der existing war conditions each ship
cost to operate 500 every hour.
Good. bad and indifferent ships, old
or new, fast or slow, were trans
formed by the magic of naval
energy into serviceable craft IN

OUR BRIDGE OF SHIPS

Fifteen cargo ships with a dead
weight tonnage of 103,692 were lost
during 1918 by the Naval Cierseas
Transportation Service, according to
a report made public recently by the
district supervisor of the Third
naval district. The removal of the
ban of secrecy, vital during the
war as a shield to these vessel ;
and their crews, discioses that six
ships, aggregating 42,62T tons, were
destroyed by enemy activity; five
vessels with a combined tonnage of
44,701 tons, were sunk in collisions
and four vessels totaliing 1894
tons were destroyed by fire and
explosion.
The report traces the growth of
the Naval Overseas Transportation
Service since the time of its organ
ization late in 1917 and describes
the part played by it in transporting
food, munitions and supplies for
troops and naval vessels abroad.
Seventy-two ships were originally
assigned TO this service and when
the armistice was signed. November
II, 1918, the cargo fleet numbered
453 vessels, including log ships

FRANCE AND WILSON

A Frenchman, small merchant
of Paris, offers this as one ex-
PLANTATION of the peculiarly popular
demonstration with which the Paris
ians received President Wilson.
Eve have had many rulers come
to visit US in these late weeks, he
said, " but crowned heads like the
kings Of England, Italy and Bel
GUM cannot dissociate themselves
from their military rank. They
come in wonderful uniforms with
encourages glittering with braid and
decorations. Essentially their re-
ceptions had to partake of the mill
tary aspect and in dominant man
ner. To the salutes and cheers of
the crowds these rulers had to make
only the stiff military salute of
acknowledgment. Naturally this is
not very personal Even a kings
salute is like that of any other
officer
But" he continued, your Presi-
dent came in civilian clothes, very
plain, wholly undecorated, not even
a ribbon in his lapel His hat was
constantly off. He was unhampered
by uniform. He smiled, even laugh
ed outright, in greeting to the
Parisians. People now and then
caught his direct glance 1t was
personal, very human and we Paris
ians like that So the infection of
this personal touch went through
the crowds. There you have it 1t
was different.
"He is a little reminiscent of our
late President Faure," he ended.
His smile and the intimate bow
are much alike"

MYSTERY SHIP WILL
CROSS THE ATLANTIC

WINNIPEG, Canada.-Informa-
ton from Ottawa officially confirms
reports that one of the much dis
cussed British mystery Ships" that
preyed on unsuspecting German
submarines will cross the Atlantic
in the spring and visit number Of
American and Canadian ports on
the Great Lakes. 1t would be the
first Allied warship to come to
the lake region.
Mystery Ships, a carefully guard
ed naval secret, were built with
draft of 1-2 feet, making them
immune from torpedo attacks. They
resembled slow-going, helpless
tramps, but carried guns of suffi-
cient calibre to sink any submarine
afloat. Because OF their light
draught, the boats are able to nayi-
gate the st. Lawrence canals. Ten
tative plans, it is understood, pro-
vide that the mystery ship" to be
sent over will carry an interesting
exhibit of naval weapons and tro-
plies.

SERB|ANS PAD
LARGE SUMS TO
BULGAR TROOPS

N1SH, Serbia.-Bulgaria during
its occupation of Serbia, found the
country not only an abundant
source of food and material but
also of considerable revenue. Bull
garian officers eXacted large sums
of money from the civilian popu-
lation for what they considered
special privileges. For Immunity
from deportation, for example, some
Serbians were forced to pay the
Bulgars as high as $4,000 francs.
Other Serbian civilians paid large
sums that their daughters might
not be molested, say the Serbians.
Seven thousand francs was the
price paid by Make T. Pastel, wheat
merchant in the town of Bel Pal
anka. near here, to prevent the
seizure by Bulgarian soldiers of his
daughter. twenty years old. Pasitcl's
son, seventeen years old had been
deported by Bulgars and died of
starvation in an internment camp.
Peter Gashitch. a banker of the
same town, paid six hundred franc
for the release of his daughter who
had been taken from her home by
Bulgars and held at Nish five days.
This young woman's husband. who
was priest, was killed by the Bull
garians a short time before. it is
charged.
From five hundred to twenty
thousand francs was the tax put
upon Serbians who desired freedom
to move about. and from this source
the Bulgars reaped a rich harvest.
In almost every one of the dozen
towns visited by the Associated
Press correspondent the same ytcry
was told. In the town of Prot, Ivan
rug dealer. gave twenty
thousand francs to the Bulgars for
permission to carry on is business
but persons not able TO purchase
immunity from perse ntipn were
punished.
In many places the Serbian people
were forbidden to speak the Serbian
language or sing Serbian songs In
Prot, part of the old Serbian pre-
lecture building was used as iris
on for civilians who rerolted 1T the
Bulgars' treatment. In room
visited by the correspondent, The
floor was spattered h FOOD.
Local inhabitants testified hat Bu!-
CARS had slaughtered many Serbian
civilians there.
