NO CHANCE IN
 AWARD LIST Knight Board Merely Added a Few
 Names.

Washington, June 26-Except for the addition of new names, practically no change has been made by the recommendations Tor award of war service decorations, members of the board said today The board was re- convened by Secretary Daniels more than six months ago to reconsider it's recommendations after the medal awards controversy between Rear Admiral Sims and the secretary which resulted in a Senate investiga- ton
 Members of the. board said that in the new list they had followed their original recommendations with re- gard to officers whose ships were struck by torpedoes or mines, each case having been decided on it's merits
 Of the ten officers in this group, only six, four of whom saved their ships, were recommended for the Distinguished Service Medal on the original list. Secretary Daniels changed these awards so as to give each officer whose ship was struck a Distinguished Service Medal. Much of the medals controversy centered around his action.
 The additional names in the new list are officers and enlisted men who engaged in postwar mine sweeping operations and whose claim for hon ors could not come before the board when the first list was prepared.

ALLIED NATIONS NOW
 CONTROL NEAR EAST

Paris, June 26-Allied nations are masters of the situation in the near east as elsewhere and if in complete harmony can employ all the forces at their disposal to carry out their pail cies which are "soberly proportioned to their interests said Marshal Foch in an interview today
 '1The allied position in the near east" he said, ''is that of liability company limited, in which no share holder may say it was his capital which made the company's operation successful. The Greek army is one of our assets and we are using it in the corporate interest.
 Discussing German disarmament he asserted this matter was not the de- struction of 1,500 cannon, but the overcoming of the "hostile and mili- tarist spirit of the German people,
 ''If such spirit,'' he continued, should again be translated into ac- ton the. arm it would use would be the most terrible and swiftest on earth-the airplane. The way to guard against renewed aggression is to increase the distance that separ- ates us from the enemy. When we leave the Rhine, Germany is within snatching distance of Ostend, from which she could lay London in waste in one night between dark and dawn Until that evil spirit dies out, it is our duty to the next gen. eration to see that our precautions are never abandoned"

 Resolute won seven of the Il trial events previous to today. The sloops are considered almost evenly matched on windward work.

Committeeman expressed confi- dence that the Georgia case would be put through, probably without a vote against seating the delegation lined up for Attorney General Palm CT for president. They were not quite so sure of the result on Senator Reed.
 Previously it looked certain that he would be denied a seat, having been refused election as delegate at large by the state convention. There were intimations overnight, how ever, of a disposition among some committee members not to oppose the senator's plan for getting on the convention floor.
 The influx of delegates which be- gan yesterday continued and added hourly to the physical and converse tional congestion in hotel Hobbies. Out of the din arose what some observers professed to recognize as a spurt of nomination sentiment toward Gov. Cox of Ohio.

to chloroform it some days ago. the movement for his nomination took the shape of cards appearing in hat bands of delegates here and there with the legend "Mac'H Do." As there is no McAdoo headquarters nor agency authorized to stimulate senti- ment for him so far as known, the source of the new manifestation of political immortality on the part of his boom was not clear.
 Action of the national committee in adopting a resolution urging the convention to grant equal committee suffrage and membership to women of the party gave the delegates an other subject to discuss. Women delegates of which there are an un- usual number present, were elated. Wives and other feminine relatives of the men delegates also participated in impromptu jubilations that were held.
