AMERICAN SOLDIERS TO
RECEIVE VICTORY MEDAL,

Some 100000 American soldiers
and sailors socn are to receive the
Victory Medal, tribute Of a grateful
nation to all the men in uniform who
aided in crushing German ambition to
dominate the world.
During the spring Of 1918, while
hostilities were still at their height,
the different allied and associated ma
tons agreed to adopt medal which
would be the same for all to CON-
nemorate the great war. In order to
carry this plan into execution an in
ter-allied commission met in Paris
after the armistice. The commission
found it was impractical to adhere
strictly to the original plan. It was
decided, however, to have an identical
ribbon and allow each country to de-
sign It's own medal according to gen.
eral specifications which were drawn
up by the commission. The ribbon is
a double rainbow, having the red in
the center and with a white threat on
each edge. It symbolizes the dawn of
a new area Of calm after the storm.
The specifications of the medal
adopted by the commission are a.
follows:
To be bronze, Ia inches in diam
eter and suspended from the ribbon
by a ring, the same as most Of our
medals. On the diverse a winged
victory, standing full length and full
face. On the reverse, the inscription
THE Great War for Civilization and
either the name or the arms Of the
allied and associations.
A system Of clasps was adopted for
this medal To designate the posses
sion Of battle clasp, a smoll bronze
star Is worn on the service ribbon
In accordance with the general prin-
.cipal that senior decorations are tn
the right, silver citations should b.
worn to the right of bronze stars on
the service ribbon (silver stars desig-
nate special citations).
All ex-army men should make re-
quest to the Army Recruiting Station,
Barnett building, Jacksonville, Flor.
ida, for the necessary application
blanks. Applicants should state
whether their service was as enlisted
men or as officers, and should plainly
write the words "victory Medal" on
the outside Of the envelope. All appli
cations will receive prompt and cour.
teous attention.

NEWS Is RECEIVED OF THE
DEATH OF LOVER OF BIRDS

Fort Myers and South Florida lost
a good friend and resident when
Charles Willis Ward passed away on
June Gath at his California home. Mr..
W. Stanley Hanson received today
the news of his death. Mr.. Hanson
was a warm friend of Mr.. Ward, and
recently received a letter telling Of
plans to come to Lee County this fall,
and Of buying tract Of land on Ores.
cent Beach so that he could. have a
home built thereon. This he wrote
Mr.. Hanson, would be made his per-
manent home, this section Of the
United States being close to his heart
and In his mind ever since his early
explorations in 1879. 1t was on this
first trip to South Florida Mr.. Ward
discovered the large blue heron found
so numerous in this section, and
which has since borne his name
Wards Heron" it being found to be
slightly smaller and of different and
new species from the Great Blue Her
on OF the North. Also to be smaller
In size than the northern species.
In 1888 Mr.. Ward disposed Of large
holdings of land adjoining Fort Myers
to the late DR.. William Hanson, faith
er Of w. Stanley Hanson. His next
visit to this city was in 1912 when he
spent much of the year here, visiting
Fort Myers in his beautiful yacht,
Ethel. At that time he made his
toric trip, making the first trip on a
steam vessel across the southern PEN
insula of Florida from Fort Lau-
derdale to Fort Myers via canals,
Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahat-
chez river. This trip was made on
the Menge Bros. steamship "Suwan-
nee," with Capt. Fred Menge. Mr..
Ward had Mr. and Mrs. Hanson as
guests on the trip, while Judge Wilk-
inson of Naples and F. S. Ballentine
of this city were the other members
of the party.
Among the wealthiest men of Am
erica, Charles Willis Ward, was Law
ish in his expenditures of money de-
voted to the preservation and propa-
CATION of the bird life of this CONT
nent, contributing large sums to the
Ward-McIlhenny, Marsh Island and
Rockefeller Foundation and other i'm
mense game sanctuaries on the coast
OF Louisiana. Today these stand as
living monuments to the splendid life
work of Mr.. Ward in the cause of the
little feathered friends. He pur-
chased and combined two maya
zines devoted to Nature, Outdoors"
and Recreation" and helped to
spread the gospel of providing for the
future of wild life. Such a man will
be sadly missed in constructive work.
and his passing will be regretted by
many friends of his in Lee county.
Mr.. Ward was known as the carna-
ton man, having most extensive gar
dens and nurseries Of this popular
flower, as we'll as Of Dubious plants
imported from Holland. He was also
a most extensive holder of timber
tracts in Louisiana and Michigan. He
recently gave to the federal govern
ment large estate in California near
Eureka, for national park.
