3. Decorations. = The prescribed
wound and service chevrons, and spe-
cial individual decorations such as the
medal of honor. distinguished service
cross and medal, and the appropriate
ribbon sections are part OF the uni
form. Special individual decorations
from foreign governments. such as the
French Croix de Guerre or similar
decorations from other foreign gov
ernments are authorized. These dec
orations will be worn as prescribed in
Special Regulations No. Al, War De-
partment, 1917. The French shout
der cord known as the fourragere, is.
however, part of the French uni
form and only two American organ
izations are authorized to wear it,
namely, Sanitary Section 646 and the
103rd Aero Squadron. Citations are
not sufficient; special authorization
for the fourragere must come from
the French Government. Such dec
orations as gold and silver stars on
the sleeves, unauthorized campaign
ribt. MS, gold chevrons presumed to
denote that the wearer has been a
prisoner of war, or denoting any
service other than prescribed for such
chevrons, are not authorized and will
not be permitted.
4. Discipline.-The question Of
laxity in dress, the wearing Of dirty,
soiled or torn uniforms, combination
of uniform and civilian clothing. un-
buttoned coats or overcOats, etc., is
for officers and men still in the serv-
ice entirely a question of discipline
and will be treated as such.
For discharged officers and men,
the matter of discipline is beyond the
-, control of the military authorities
1t is not possible. nor is it intended,
that the military authorities should
prevent the wearing by discharged
officers and men of uniforms which do
not conform to specifications. The
present law prevents the wearing of
the uniform for discharged enlisted
men except on route from the place OF
discharge to their home. which jour
ney may take place within, or may
consume, three months from the date
of discharge. The uniform must be
returned to the Government within
four months of the date of discharge.
For discharged officers, the law is the
| same, except that the uniforms, being
the property of the officers, are not
required to be returned and the Of
ficerS may also wear them on occa-
siOns of ceremony. There Is, how
ever. bill before Congress to allow
discharged officers and men to re-
