Kings Garden Party.

LONDON, June 26-One of the
most remarkable gatherings of ma
tons heroes the world has ever seen
was witnessed today when King
George gave a garden party to wear
ers of the Victoria cross, the little
bronze maltese cross simply inscribed
For Valor," which is recognized the
world over as Britain's highest badge
of supreme personal courage and self
sacrifice.
Every wearer of the Victoria cross
is a proved superhero" and no
amount of wealth, influence, or even
distinguished service-other than a
superative act of personal valor in
battle-can procure it. King George
doesn't wear it himself, nor is it dis
tributed to foreign rulers or high mill,
tary visitors whose goodwill is
sought Field Marshal Earl Haig and
Admiral of the fleet, Earl Beatty,
Britain's highest naval and military
commanders and national idols, can
not wear the coveted decoration, but
today's gathering included numbers
Of privates, non-commissioned officers
and Junior commissioned officers.
Nearly three hundred of these sup
er-heroes accepted the kings invita-
ton to buckingham palace, and the
defenders Of Thermepylae and othel
ancient giants might have gasped at
the deeds accomplished by some OF
these humble and comparatively un-
known present-day fighters.
