TO FOCH AND FRENCH POILU
Commander D'OIier Returns FeIicita-
tions Sent by Famous Marshal
on Fourth of July.

"The American legion, on this ami
versary of the fall of the Bastille,
through myself as national command
err, extends the same hand of fellow
ship today that the French citizen-sol-
der grasped but yesterday"
In these words Franklin D'Olier,
head of the legion, addressed Marshal
Foch and the French poilu, returning
the Fluctuations that Foch sent to the
legion ON the Fourth of July. The mes
sage was delivered to the marshal by
III. ii. Harjes, commander of Paris
post, No. j.
"Our regard is based on deeper SEN
timent than mere association in arms, -
the message continues. America g
youth came to France impressed with
the story of your wonderful achieve
ments. We were not disillusioned. We
found that France suffered with a
smile on her lips; laughed in the jaws
OF death; held to her traditional cour-
tesy and chivalry at the very time
when the foe pounded with coarse
fists at the gates of Paris.
There may come time when jeal-
Gus hands will seek to sever the bonds
that unite France and America. Such
thing never can be accomplished. We
of the World War have known France
and her fine soul. We. have been blood
brothers and we will be peace broth
ers.'

The chaplains' Medal.

gas mask Is seen, ready for immedi-
ate adjustment. Indeed, the sugges-
ton is that the chaplain has, perhaps,
momentarily removed it, the better to
succor the wounded man.
The fine record of the men who
served as chaplains In the navy, many
of them constantly passing back and
forth through the submarine danger
zone, ministering to the crews of the
naval vessels and the soldiers on the
transports, is recalled by the repre-
sentation of the battleship on the re-
verse of the medal.
The striking of these medals is the
realization of a suggestion made soon
after the armistice in the executive
committee of the general wartime
commission of the churches. The
committee approved the proposal and
made it one of the tasks committed to
the general committee on army and
navy chaplains when the wartime
commission dissolved. The medals
are intended to convey in tangible
form message of grateful apprecia-
ton from the churches to their chap
lain sons.

swers We're written down. Supporting
affidavits were signed by Maxine
Dempsey, then his wife, but since di-
vorced, and Fife Clarkson, his sister.
There was some confusion in the To-
cal draft board over his case, and at
an informal meeting held one evening,
Dempsey and Jack Kearns, his mana
ger, took up Dempsey's situation with
John Hogan, chairman of the local
draft board. At this meeting Demp-
sey was placed in Glass "A upon his
sworn statement of the contents of
the QUESTIONABLE.
The evidence showed that Mrs. Hi
ram Dempsey, the mother of Jack,
was almost entirely dependent upon
him for support, and that he had made
substantial contributions to the sup
port of his father, sister, and brother.
His statements in this regard were not
contradicted.

CHAPLAINS' BADGE OF HONOR
Medal TO Be Given by Protestant
Churches Which United i'm
War Work.

A commemorative medal is to be
given by the Protestant churches
which united in war work through
the general wartime commission of
the churches to all their chaplains of
the American army and navy who
served IN the war. The chaplains'
medal is the work of Mrs. Laura Gar
din Fraser of New York, one of the
best knewn of American medalists,
and the wife of the designer Of the
Victory button.
Mrs. Fraser has chosen, in the de
sign for the chaplains' medal, to rep
resent an army chaplain in the act of
supreme service-ministering to a
wounded man at the risk of his ewn
life. In the center of the design the
