SENATE TURNS DOWN THE
MANDATE OVER ARMENIA
Leaders Plan to Adopt II Without
Change-Thirteen Democrats
Join Republicans.

Washington, d. president Will
over Armenia was rejected in the
senate by a vote Of more than 2 TO l..
Thirteen democrats cast their votes
with the united republican member
ship on the final roll call and the
resolution respectfully declining" to
grant congressional authority for the
mandate was adopted, So to %, in the
form drafted by the republican
leaders.
The resolution will be sent to the
house and the leaders there plan to
adopt 1t without change. They say
they hope for as decisive a majority
as the measure was given in the
senate.
In the debate the democratic lead
ers counseled delay and tried in vain
to put the decision over until the
next session Of congress. Scarcely a
voice was raised In out and out ad-
vocacy OF accepting the mandate, and
on motion to amend the resolution so
that the requested authority be given,
only ID senators, all democrats, voted
in the affirmative. Recorded against
the motion were thirteen democrats
and t~hirty-nine republicans.
In their effort to ward off action,
which they argued was advisable be-
cause OF the peace treaty deadlock,
the minority leaders had better re-
suits. The resolution to send the
resolution back to the committee with
instructions that it be reported after
the ratification Of a peace treaty with
the central powers" mustered almost
solid democratic support, but was
lost, 43 to "a.

TO SEEK MEDALS
Few Victory Awards Have
Been Distributed to
Ex-SOldiers.

Most OF the ex-service men in this

titled TO one OF the war depart

OF Miss Irma Collmer OF the Red
Cross Offices hi the court house.
For some reason or other the ap-
phcatiOns for the medals are COM

from this city. only "a have made
application for the medals. The war
department was prepared 20 issue
approximately $1,000 OF them a day,
but since June 21. only 50.936 have
been Issued. which is the total num-
Der OF applications received. At the
rate OF $4,000 a cay 1t would take
about four months TO complete the
distribution. but at the rate Of only
$4,000 in a month 1t will take al
most six years for all men TO get
the medal.
To date the war department has
issued 1850 Victory medals for
service IN the United States. 26s for
service in England, 1860 for
France. three for Italy. SO for Rus
STA and lis for service in Siberia.
The above are all medals without
clasps. The number Of medals is
sued with one clasp is 1904; two
clasps, 1924; three clasps. 6,695;
four clasps. 3.169; five clasps. 1897:
six clasps, 149; seven clasps. 10;
eight clasps, three; nine clasps,
eight; 10 clasps. one, and with IA
battle clasps, one. The battle
clasps are given only to men who
were in a major operation, one clasp
fer each engagement.
How to- Get Medal.
The method in brief for obtaining
the medal IS as follows: Go TO the
army recruiting station. 100 N
Michigan St. South Bend. and they
