Nt DECORATIONS WILL BE AWARDED
 ON ARM|ST|CE DAY
Were Held Up While Naval Board Reconsidered Awards After the Controversy
 Among Officers
By Associated Press

Washington, November 1.-The long de- , lay in awarding medals for distinguished wartime service in the navy and marine corps is about to be ended, it was learned today at the navy department. while naval board reconsidered the awards after a controversy among na- val officers and subsequent congress sional investigation last winter, have
 been mailed to commanding officers of ships and stations for distribution either on Armistice day, November II, or Ar inistice Sunday, November 14. The medals were forwarded in sealed packages with instructions that they were not to be opened until receipt of gem eral reelase message from the depart ment and were then to be presented with appropriate ceremonies wherever prac-
 ticable.
 The revised list of those to receive the awards was not made public and it ! was said that it would not be released until the medals were actually presented. 1 It was understood, however, that since | the original list was sent back to the board headed by Rear Admiral Austin M. !, Knight for review and revision, num- Der of names have been added. The OrlRindI lSJ lncluueu To peToOliS to it- ceive the medal of honor while the re- vised list, it was said provides for 19 to1receive the highest military honor. The revised list as finally approved in- cludes the names of more than 100 ofti- cers and men who will receive the dis tinguished service medal and about 1.5oo to receive the navy cross
 The controversy over naval decora- tions was precipitated last winter by the publication of a letter from Rear Ad- miral w. s, Sims, to Secretary Daniels declining to accept the distinguished service medal for which he had been recommended because of alleged inJus- tice in the manner of awarding honors. After the senate investigation Mir Dan- iels sent the list back to the Knight board for review ana the boards final report was made to the secretary several weeks ago.
 It was not disclosed at the department whether the names of Rear Admiral Sims and other officers who declined to accept medals last winter were on the final list

In the absence of any official action, Governor Dorsey was one of those who held this view. Women will not vote in Fulton county, according to Ordinary Thomas H. Jeff fries who is in charge of election pri- naries here.

It is not in the executives power to say who shall or shall not vote, he added. Many leading suffragists, including Mrs. Mary McLendon of Atlanta. a pio- neer in the cause. have urged women to vote, Just go to the polls and vote" was Mrs. McLendon's advice.
