WOULD SETTLE AWARDS
! PROBLEM BY CITING ALL
Representative Welty Introduces
Bill Which Authorizes War
and Navy Boards.

Issuance of citations 70 every SOL
der sailor or marine who took part
in the. world war is proposed by Rep
the controversy over military ava rds.
He introduced a bill to this effect, and
it also includes provision for estab-
lishment of a board through which a
certificate of merit would be issued to
every man wounded in service A
similar certificate would go to the
next of kin of those who lost their
lives.
A statement by Mr.. Welty SAYS:
The bill introduced. if enacted
into law. would authorize the appoint
ment of two impartial boards, one to
be appointed by the Secretary of War
and the other by the Secretary Of the
Navy
There is no greater autocracy than
among cur military and naval officers
in times of war. and the chasm be-
tween these officers and enlisted men
is so great that it is impossible for
them to give the proper recognition
to the enlisted men. Neither Admiral
Sims no. his subordinates saw where
medal. but. / apprehend, has preserved
these medals for the Officers Club SO
as to avoid making these medals
cheap OF common.
aThe act of July 9, 1918. provides
that. in lien of the certificate of
merit issued to enlisted men. there
should issue a distinguished service
medal The words Of the act. in
part. are as follows: Said distin-
sulshed service medal shall also be
issued to all enlisted men of the Army
to whom the certificate of merit has
been granted up to and including
the date of the passage of the act
under the provisions of previously
existing law, in lieu of such GER
titcate of merit. and after the
passage of this act the award of the
certfica-e of merit for distinguished
service shall cease
The act of February 4. 1919. has
practically the same provisions in
the matter of issuing of medals as
the act for the Army. b&t not a sim
gle distinguished service medal was
issued to enlisted men Only one
private in the Marine Corps received
a medal of honor other govern
soldiers by issuing certificate of
merit. and l understand that these
governments also issue certificate
of merit to be delivered to the next
of kin of soldiers who lost their
lives.
"The bill also provides that the
nurses should be rememb bered in the
matter of the distribution of these
honors. There is no reason why our
government should not remember
every nurse and soldier who was
wounded, and a certificate of merit
should he sent to the parent or hus-
band. wife or next of kin of the
nurses and soldiers who died in the
service of our cause"

Task for Ex-service Men.
George H. Maxwell dwelt on two
points, viz.-First, the way to prevent
industrial depression in the United
States is to turn with energy against
the deserts and natures devastations.
which will at the same time create
billions OF new wealth from now
wasted regions. Secondly. he urged
that the ex-service men should build
a great war monument for themselves
by safeguarding the country against
foods. forest fires and the deadly en-
croa chments of the deserts. and do it
with the same spirit that they fought
to safeguard the world against the
menace of European autocracy.
