 In the words of the French Orders of the Army, the following units of the Marine Corps were cited for their

Marine Corps, No. l Drumm St., San Fran cisco, California. Upon receipt of this information, the Western Re- cruiting Headquarters will advise the men concerned to which recruiting station they should apply for auth orization cards and tourrageres. Those who are unable to apply in per son for their fourrageres, by reason of their living great distance from any Marine Recruiting Station, should so inform the Western Recruiting Headquarters, in order that authori- zation cards, with fourrageres, may be sent to them direct.
 Recruiting stations will then be furnished with the necessary authori-. zation and receipt cards, together with fourrageres with miniatures in sufficient quantities to issue to such men presenting letter addressed to them by the Western Recruiting Headquarters on this subject. In no case, however, will a fourrageres or a miniature thereof, be issued to any man applying, who is not in posses sion of a letter from the Western Re- cruitipg Division, and for whom there is no authorization card on file. Miniature fourrageres are for wear on the lapelle of civilian coats. :.
 It will not be necessary for the next or kin of deceased Marines to apply for fourrageres as they will be fur nished direct from Headquarters, Washington, D. c. in all cases where such marines were entitled to them.'
 The Marine Corps is exercising great care in issuing this decoration inasmuch as it is the policy of the French Government to award only those who are entitled to be decorat- ed. The fourragere is decoration of very old order and of unusually great honor and is awarded only to units
