Award ais He Holds His
Service Light.

Washington, Dec. 30.-While naval
officers have been rejecting decora-
tons conferred on them by Secretary
Daniels, it was disclosed that only one
of the 1900 persons awarded army
medals has declined the honor.
In recognition of his services in di-
recting the collection and distribution
of books to the soldiers, Herbert Put
nam, librarian Of congress, was award
ed the distinguished service medal by
Secretary of War Baker. Mr.. Putnam
politely declined to accept the decora-
ton, modestly explaining that credit
for the work was due not to himself
alone but to the entire library service
organization.
