Washington, Nov. 1.-The long de-
Law in awarding medals for distin-
guished war time service in the navy
and marine corps is about to be end

the awards was not made public, and
it was said that it would not be re-
leased until the medals were actually
presented. It was, understood, how
ever, that since the original list was
sent back to the board headed by
Rear Admiral M. knight for review
and revision, a number Of names had
been added. The original list In
cluded thirteen persons to receive the
medal of honor, while the revised list,
it was said, provides for nineteen to
receive the highest military honor.
The revised list as finally approved
includes the names of more than 400
officers and men who will receive the
distinguished service medal and
about 1900 to receive the navy cross.
The controversy over naval decora-
tions was precipitated last winter by
the publication of a letter from Rear
Admiral w. S. Sims to Secretary
Daniels declining to accept the dis
tinguished service medal for which
he had been recommended because of
alleged injustices in the manner of
awarding the honors. After the SEN
ate investigation Mr., Daniels sent the
list back to the Knight board for re-
view and the boards final report was
made to the secretary several weeks
ago.
It was not disclosed at the depart
ment whether the names of Rear Ad-
miral Sims and other officers who
declined to accept medals last winter
were on the final list.
