WEEKS RESTRICTS
AWARD OF MEDALS
War Secretary Opposes Cita'
tions to Any One Out
side Army.

"Dollar-a-year" men, or = other
civilian war participants. should not
be rewarded with medals designed
for military heroes, in the opinion
OF Secretary Of War Weeks.
Announcement of Weeks policy
in recognizing war service was made
when he conferred Distinguished d
Service Medals on six army officers.
Emphazing that the value of war
medals should be based on the high
quality of service rendered, Weeks
said:
Personally 1 am not in favor OF
giving either a Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross of a Distinguished Service
Medal to those who are not a part
of the army. II civilians are to be
recognized, as they may well be, II
should be done in some other way.
Therefore. I shall not recommend to
the President the comforting OF
these medals on civilians"
Weeks said he also favored plac-
ing a limitation on the time of filing
applications for medals.
whether two years is a sufficient
time I do not undertake to say
Weeks announced. But unless
there is a limit. it naturally fol-
facts relating to a soldiers serv-
ice may not be obtainabIe. medals
will be conferred which are not
warranted by the service per-
formed"

KOREA MAKES PLEA
FOR INDEPENDENCE
Nation Asks United States
For Recognition and
Aid.

A plea for the recognition by
the United States of the full and
complete independence of Korea
was made yesterday to the State
Department by Soon Hyun. diplo-
matte agent to the United States
Declaring that for 1000 years Ko-
rea had been an independent and
sovereign nation, the statement
goes on to show that Japan in
duced the nation to enter into a
defensive agreement against the
Russians, some few years ago, by
the terms of which convention Japan
was allowed to send her troops into
Korean territory, promising to
withdraw when the war between
Japan and Russia was ended.
The autocratic and militaristic
government of the Empire Of Japan
deliberately spurned and broke its
solemn pledge and promise to the
government and people of Korea
and refused to withdraw the Japan
ese military and naval forces from
Korea and Korean ports, when and
after the war between Japan and
Russia was terminated" says the
note.
