service medal to General Hugh l.. Scott,
chief of staff during the early part OF tho
war, General March, chief of staif has
told House war investigating COM
mittec that "it was the force of Scott
that carried through the solectivo service
draft"
War department officials and army
officers "had grave doubts whether tho
country would stand for the draft,
said the chief of staff, adding that General
Scott stood out conspIcuously by INSIST
ing on il.
General March, who was in France Mt
the time the law was under consideration,
said Secretary Baker had given him the
information as to General Scott's service
regarding the draft law.
Secretary Baker believes sufficient
medals have already been awarded,
General March said
THAT isn't tho question" Representa-
tive Bland, Republican, Indiana, replied.

have been distributed TO officials or civil
ians. What we want ls To include n

has been overlooked Should ox-Presi-
dent Taft, who put down labor troubles

"No," General March replied.
The chief of staff denied that National
Guar4 officers had been Intentionally
Disseminated against in the award oi
medals.
The statistics prove that 90 percent oi
those receiving awards were regular
army officers, Bland interrupted.
THAT was for the various award boards
to decide said General March.
mo private could be in "a position o'
great responsibility sufficiently to be
awarded the distinguished service medal,
the general continued.
There has been no tendency to dis
criminate against enlisted mon, or to
make an officers club affair of this dis
tinguished service medal award but

which since its opening has

structed, and handsome fur
niture, than any previous
semi-annual sale of furni-
ture held here, although
each of these worthy pre-
decessors was the wonder
full event of the February
of its year.
ooh, there is no furniture
like the WanaInaker furni-
ture!" is what the folks are
saying, and although they
are acting upon it practical
ly, by taking away the fur
niture almost as fast as it
comes in, the customers
who follow them are served
equally well, for we take
care to bring in equally fine
furniture to replace it.
Of how many furniture
sales could it be said, that,
after three weeks of unprec-
endented selling, they are
as well worth visiting as a
spectacle, and as well able
to give the customer high
value for his money, as
when they opened?

The tendency among boys, DIR. Candes
said, is To follow leader. This is natural
