in an endeavor to make the questions

result that few individuals or corpO-

DANIELSASKSMEDALS
FOR R15O ENLISTEDMEN
(spcctal Despatch to the Heruld.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., Monday.-The
Secretary Of the Navy today sent to the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee a list of
approximately one hundred and fifty en-
listed men OF the navy upon whom he
conferred the Distinguished Service Medal.
or the Navy Cross. The Naval Board Of
Awards, of which Rear Admiral Austin c.
knight is in charge. had recommended
only 11S enlisted men for Navy Cross and
none for the Distinguished Service Medal.
Secretary Daniels says in his letter to
the chairman Of the committee
when the report OF the Board Of
Awards was presented to me I observed
that out OF nearly half a million men in
the naval service during the war only
about one hundred and eighteen enlisted
men had been recommended for the Navy
Cross and none had been recommended
for the Distinguished Service Medal.
Il knew that. as the news Of submarine
attacks and other service either with that
Of the marines in France or any other
field Of naval activity calling for courage
during the world war came to the depart.
ment. there were reports of brave and
heroic action by many enlisted meen as
will as by many officers. I directed n
study of these reports be made and as a
result Of this partial study directed that
Distinguished Service Medals and Navy
Crosses be awarded to the valorous men
of the naval service for reasons stated
below. and have since directed that every
man in the naval service during the world
war. whether holding a commission or
acting as an enlisted man, should send in
reports OF any distinguished acts OF hero
ism worthy of recognition.
Reports and recommendations are being
received by every mail and the Board of
Awards has been directed TO give them
consideration and make suitable recon-
mendations. Many men whose deeds are
yet unreported will be rewarded. No final
action would be just without the informa-
ton and recommendations requested from
all the officers and men in the service"
Secretary Daniels will appear before the
Senate Naval Affairs Committee on Thurs
day TO defend the policy he has followed in
making naval awards in reply TO the
charges made by Rear Admiral w. II.
Sims. Secretary Daniels testimony will
probably close the hearings on the naval
awards. The larger inquiry into the ad-
ministration of the navy during the war
probably will be begun next week.

New Hampshire Not
Solid for Wood

Major General Leonard Wood will not
be permitted to dalk away with the dele
gates from his native State Of New
Hampshire without a contest, according
to information received yesterday in this
city. 1t had generally been supposed that
New Hampshire's eight delegates would
be conceded to General Wood, particu-
larly as Senator George II. Moses and
Governor John II. Bartlett, OF that STATE,
are strong Wood supporters. New
Hampshire on March will be the first
State to hold a primary.
The fight in New Hampshire against
General Wood will take the shape of a
contest for an unpledged delegation.
The New York herald., 1920-01-27

Under the New Hampshire law every
candidate for delegate to a national con-
vention may express a preference for
President or may run ''unpledged."

declare is a correct view of the New
Hampshire situation is presented in
